I scowled at him. “You gave an obvious choice that you think I want to hear. That doesn’t mean you really feel that way,” I argued.
“That’s really what I would do. I’d go to his baseball game and cheer for him as if he were my son. I was an all-star baseball champ all four years in high school. I love baseball.”
“Okay. Eva comes home from school with a fever, so our weekend getaway has to be postponed. How do you handle that?”
“I stay home with you and help nurse her back to health. Then, we do a staycation in the bedroom when she’s asleep,” he said and winked. “Why are you looking like that, Tameka? What are you thinking?” He moved closer to me.
“You gave perfect responses. Too perfect. Their own father would have said we should get a sitter. In fact, on a couple of occasions, he did say that when Eva was sick.”
“I’m not your ex, Tameka. At some point you have to understand that,” he said. “He’s a real asshole. I’m not.”
“But how do I know I can trust you?” I asked softly.
“Sometimes, you just have to take that leap. I will prove that your heart is safe with me, Tameka. Trust that.”
He swooped in for a kiss. His lips felt right on mine, and I didn’t want to pull back. I wanted to kiss him forever and never let go.
“I don’t want anyone to know right away,” I whispered between kisses. “I want to keep what we have between us,” I murmured.
“Your secret is safe with me,” he said, and I dropped the book from my hand as I snaked my fingers around his neck and deepened the kiss.
I was ready to take that leap, no matter what dangerous curves were ahead.
Chapter 14
Jeb
Our clothes were tossed aside, and it felt like a dream as I grabbed her neck and hauled her lips to mine. I lifted her into my arms and carried her to my bed. Slowly, I sat her down on top of the covers and surveyed every inch of her naked body. Then, I eased on top of her, feeling her slickness against my manhood, as she lazily ran her fingers through my hair. I claimed her soft, sweet lips as she wrapped her legs around my waist. Tameka tasted delicious when my tongue plunged into her mouth, eliciting a soft moan from her.
“My God,” she whispered, and her hot breath against my neck drove me mad. I kissed her again, and another soft moan from her unraveled me even more.
Tameka arched her back and gasped as my tongue traveled to her shoulder. My teeth grazed her right breast, and I latched onto her pebbled nipple, tugging softly at her areola. Clutching her waist gently, I held her in place as I flooded her with kisses.
Tameka cooed, and I loved the sound. “Jeb…,” she said as I circled her navel with tender kisses. Moving further south, I tasted the best part of her, spreading her labia and running my thumb slowly over her clit.
She trembled as I thrust a finger in and out of her as if I were fucking her. The feel of her slickness and the smell of her intoxicating aroma had my cock hard as a rock. It swelled even more as she made erotic faces that showed her pleasur
e. I pressed my tongue against her opening and flicked it in and out of her heat. She shifted, grabbing onto the edge of the bed.
“Jeb!” she cried out. She lifted her hips off the bed and started to shake.
I held her in place as her delicious juices gushed into my mouth. I licked up every morsel, not sparing one bit. Then, I eased up her body and saw her sexy smile. It was the sexiest thing I’d ever seen.
“Any regrets?” I asked.
“Not one.” She pulled me down until our lips touched, and her mouth opened to receive me as she parted her legs to take me inside of her.
My cock throbbed. I’d waited a long time for this moment, and it was finally happening. I growled when my hardness touched her slick heat and slid into her, expanding her heated walls. This was it. Right here, inside of my woman, lip to lip, hip to hip, soul to soul was where I belonged.
Tameka shivered as I claimed her with ferocious thrusts. My lips captured every moan and groan. They were mine to keep. My length went in and out of her with precision. I penetrated her deeply, opening her wider than ever before. But when she arched her back and gave me full access, she pulled the cum right out of me.
“Yes, baby. Just like that,” I groaned, pumping inside of her wetness until one last plunge sent me tumbling over the edge. I collapsed on top of Tameka and nuzzled against her as her body began to tremble with her release. “You feel so good, baby,” I told her.
“So good,” she whispered.
I rolled onto my side and gathered her in my arms, and after a few moments of silence, we were both fast asleep. The night had played out as I hoped. Tameka was back in my arms where she belonged.
Early the next morning, she was still sleeping peacefully next to me. I’d never seen anyone so beautiful in my life. My cocoa beauty looked like an angel. She must’ve sensed me watching her. She started to move, and then she moaned as one eye fluttered open, and she looked at me.
