You will have to make a certain modification to the category_item.php of your override (templates/your_template/html/com_k2/default/category_item.php).
Locate the point where the read more block is set up
The code should be:

<?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore')): ?>         
        <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
        <div class="catItemReadMore">
                <a class="k2ReadMore" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
                        <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?>
                </a>
        </div>

and try with this code

<?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore') && in_array('USER_GROUP_ID', JFactory::getUser()->get('groups'))): ?>     
        <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
        <div class="catItemReadMore">
                <a class="k2ReadMore" href="<?php echo $this->item->link; ?>">
                        <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?>
                </a>
        </div>
        <?php else: ?>
         <!-- Item "read more..." link -->
  <div class="catItemReadMore">
    <a class="k2ReadMore" href="YOUR_LOGIN_LINK">
      <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?>
    </a>
  </div> 
        <?php endif; ?>

The in_array('USER_GROUP_ID', JFactory::getUser()->get('groups')) checks if the usergroup is the one permitted and then the readmore link will show. Otherwise it won't.

Then try changing your if statement like

<?php if ($this->item->params->get('catItemReadMore') && (in_array('USER_GROUP_ID', JFactory::getUser()->get('groups')) || in_array('USER_GROUP_ID2', JFactory::getUser()->get('groups')) || in_array('USER_GROUP_ID3', JFactory::getUser()->get('groups')))): ?>

That requires custom coding.
You could pass the id of the item on a variable and structure the URL via a plugin and redirect after the login.
