stay there for a bit and not much else. She had a thing about handouts, too. We never accepted food from the local churches. She didn’t get on food stamps or welfare, either. Pride.” He sucked his teeth, then reached for his beer and took a swallow. “Pride doesn’t feed a child. Pride doesn’t resemble love, either. I’m not mad at her, Lauren. I’m disappointed.”
She nodded in understanding and lay her head on his chest again. They remained in that position for quite some time, but all the while, the smell of her hair, her skin, and the way she felt called to him. He could no longer dance around his desires. He wanted her. Needed her. Pushing her back with a gentle hand, he looked into her eyes, and she understood. He removed his shirt and discarded it on the floor then unzipped his jeans and wiggled out of them until they were a forgone thought. She followed his lead and removed her shirt. In a flash, he was completely naked, his body ready, willing and able. He helped undress her, impatient, unsnapping her bra as she worked fast on her pants.
“We never really talked about it the first time, but are you on anything? Birth control?” He ran his hand down her back, feeling her soft flesh as she bent down to pull her panties and pants down her legs.
“Depo-Provera. Do you get tested for STDs?” She kicked her pants off to the side.
“Yeah. Every three to four months.” He quickly got up from the couch, grabbed his phone, and pulled up his account with LabCorp. “Okay, here it is.”
She took the phone.
“You tested negative on everything. Good. I test regularly when I’m sexually active. Until you, I hadn’t had sex in ten months.” His brow shot up, and she laughed. “I’m serious.”
“No, I believe you. Just, uh, didn’t know that. I’ll be right back.” Her gorgeous body was calling to him and his dick swelled as he eyed her breasts.
“Oh, you don’t want to go upstairs?” She pointed to the staircase.
“Not yet.”
He rushed to retrieve a condom from his bedroom. When he came back down the stairs, he turned the lights down and the music up. He sat down in front of the fireplace, ushering her over with a wave of his hands. She stood in front of him like the thing of beauty that she was and he scanned her body, starting from her perfectly painted toenails all the way up to the top of her head, adorned with shiny black coils. “Lauren, I’m ready for you. Are you ready for me?”
She smiled.
“Yeah. I’m ready for you.” She knelt beside him, and he leaned in for a hungry kiss.
“The best part of this, of us, is that I’m with you because I want to be here. Not because I’m lonely.” He cupped the back of her neck, kissing her again and again. As he lay her body beneath his, the light from the flames danced along her rich skin. He caressed all over her body, kissing the arches and twists and soft, delicious flesh, slow and easy. She moaned and held onto him, uttering foul and beautiful curse words as he worked her into a frenzy. Settling between her thighs, he pulled her legs up and held onto her calves, anchoring himself. She purred when he licked on her slick, saturated zone.
He watched her like a hawk, loving how she writhed about as he tasted her and swallowed her libations. ‘Slow Grind’, by Tory Lanez ft Jacquee, was playing right then.
He picked her up into his arms, lay flat on his back, and had her straddle him. He reached up and massaged her breasts as they slowly grinded against one another, rotating their hips back and forth, rubbing their genitals against one another until he was showered with her wetness. He sighed, his entire body electric as she stroked his shaft with her juicy slit.
“Baby, damn. Shit.” He grinded harder and faster, forcing her to ride his urgent wave. He wanted her in the worst way. Wrapping his hands around her waist, he set a frantic rhythm, making her brush her clit against his nature with each pass. He bit into his lower lip as sweat broke over his face. He glided his hands up her back, cupping her shoulders and pulling her to him until her chest was flush against his, then reached between them with one of his hands, gripped his dick, and rubbed
