I slide my hand to the back of her neck and lower my head to kiss her. I brush my lips over hers, gently at first. I want to taste her, all of her. I capture her lower lip between my teeth and nip at it softly.
She wraps her hands around my neck pushing her breasts against my chest. Lexi drops whatever reservations she had, and we devour each other, her tongue tangling with mine. She tastes so sweet as if she had been sucking something with strawberries. I lose all sense of time as we kiss and stroke each other. I’m trying to rein in my lust but I’m losing fast.
“Wait,” Lexi says, pulling away.
She unbuttons her trousers and rolls them down. I do the same, popping the buttons of my shirt open and pushing it off. My trousers are next and in record time, I’m completely naked and so is she. We fall on the bed in a heap of tangled limbs.
“Take me, Ace,” Lexi whispers into my ear.
Just the words I need to hear. This time I’m not too carried away to forget to use protection. I reach for my nightstand drawer and grab a condom. I rip it open and slide it down my hard shaft as I stare down at Lexi. She’s so beautiful lying on the bed, her lips slightly parted and her breasts rocking slowly with every breath she takes.
I work my palms over the sides of her body, down to her thighs. I grab her hips and raise her legs before dropping my head to her pussy. I slide my tongue straight into her drenched center and lap at her creamy juices.
She grips my head and moans loudly as I flick and tease her clit mercilessly. I ignore my throbbing cock and concentrate on pleasuring Lexi. Her cries grow more frantic and her grip on my head tightens. The muscles of her thighs harden, and she lets out a guttural cry as she comes.
I withdraw my tongue and replace it with my cock. I grip the base and close my eyes as I slowly stick it into the sweetness of her pussy.
“It’s been so long,” Lexi says.
“For me too,” I tell her.
The last woman I had sex with was her.
My strokes are slow at first, but I gradually increase the speed and depth of my thrusts. She rocks her hips beneath me. I make sure I hit her clit with every thrust and by her cries, I know that it’s working.
“Please,” Lexi cries, thrashing her head from side to side.
“Come for me, beautiful,” I tell her.
Her body goes still before erupting in a series of shivers and her pussy clenches around my cock. I let myself go then as all the tension inside me releases and my body empties itself.
Later, after our breaths have returned to normal, Lexi rests her head on my chest and I stroke her hair. For a man whose job is on the line, I feel refreshingly at peace.
“You’re not going to slink off in the morning and leave me to face the landlord, are you?” Lexi says.
It takes a moment to understand what she means. When I do, shame floods me. “I’m sorry about that night. I was in a bad place.”
“And now?” Lexi says.
“I’m better.”
“What happened today?” Lexi says.
There’s no point in denying that something was wrong. She can read me well and I don’t want to insult her intelligence by lying. “It was just one of those days when nothing seems to go right.”
She sighs. “I’ve had one of those myself. Are you working tomorrow?”
I hadn’t thought about it. “Yeah.”
Clearly, therapy is not for me. I’ll have to come up with a way to cope when my mind goes haywire. Deep breaths. Before the episode goes full blast, there’s a millisecond of a warning. Maybe if I try and get myself under control at that moment, it won’t escalate into an episode.
A thought comes over me. I could take Lexi with me to The Bay. Knowing Park and Rachael, they’re bound to turn my visit into a big thing. Lexi will act as a barrier between me and too many questions.
“What are you doing on Saturday?” I ask her. “I’m driving down to Santa Monica bay to see some friends. I’d like you to come with me.” Warning bells go off in my head. The plan had been to sleep with Lexi and go on with my life. Not invite her into it. After next weekend I’ll back off, I promise myself.
“I’d love to, but I can’t. Vanessa has a shift and I’m babysitting Luna,” Lexi says.
I remember that Park and Rachel have a little girl. “We can take her with us. My friends have a little girl about her age.”
She turns to me. “Are you sure?”
