ChapterFour
Joseph:
Two weeks! She finally reached out to me after two weeks. I never got her personal information and yes, I could have had Jabarri get it for me but one word…. stalker. So, I waited and hoped she would reach out to me. What I didn’t expect was for it to take over two weeks for her to do it. She’ll be coming in for business but will spend the weekend here, hopefully with me. I did get some brownie points for when the packages arrived. She sent four boxes of her new haircare line and the last box had a body care line I remember using when she and I showered together and some other hair care products that aren’t even out yet. She left a note asking me not to publicize the new products as they are not out yet. No need to worry about that; what she should have been worried about is me contacting her for more.
The week dragged by as I looked forward to seeing her again. I wanted to spend the entire weekend with her, but Josh called for a family dinner, and Atlas is bringing someone! That’s new, Atlas doesn’t get close to anyone, and he’s never brought anyone to meet us. I finished up in the bathroom and moved on to the kitchen. These houses are really nice and not the cookie cutter homes a lot of developers like to build. Like this house has a library in it, some have gyms, media rooms, craft rooms, even indoor playgrounds and pet grooming rooms. Asher designed one child’s room that has a bonus room that can only be accessed through a door under the staircase and another that has a beauty salon off from the woman’s walk-in closet. We did not skimp on the features of any of the houses and we managed to be able to sell them lower than most other new builds go for. Once phase one was complete and the houses were built and sold, the word got out and we are selling them faster than we can get them built. We split the subdivisions up among us and hired more workers to stay on schedule. All of our teams are doing amazing work and we are just ahead of schedule. But once again I am the weakest link today with my mind on anything but work. Good thing my team doesn’t need to rely on me; they have their assignments and are doing what needs to be done. Scott has been promoted to team lead, and he is doing an amazing job, everyone likes him, and he supervises in a way where people listen to him and respect him.
Finally, the day is over, and I am the last to leave, making sure everything is put away and turned off. I head home with my plans for Joyce firmly in my mind. She sent me a text letting me know she is in Mississippi and is staying in the same room as before. She had her meeting today, but she did not expand on what that business is, and I didn’t ask. Both of our busy schedules don’t allow for much conversation. I send her texts every morning and at night; I was sending her messages during the day, but she rarely replied, so I stuck to my morning and night texts. I have never met a woman like her before, from her nonchalant attitude about our sex in the store storage closet, to her propositioning me for sex after dinner, and then her lack of interest in communication or even learning about each other. Truthfully, I don’t know how I feel about it. I head home to shower and get ready for tonight. Regardless of my mixed emotions, one thing I know for sure is that we are fire together.
Joyce
Let me tell you something, Peter a.k.a Mr. Bennett is a sexy ass silver fox! And he knows his stuff; he rattled off numbers and statistics like he was reading a menu. His resorts and hotels are extensive, and I hope Melanique will be in them soon. I left Peter samples to use since my products are centered around affordable luxury for women of color, black women specifically, but they can be used on any hair type. We agreed to meet again in a few weeks to discuss this further. He wanted to talk it over and determine which hotel they would be better in if he used my products.
I go up to my room to get ready for my night with Joseph. I was going to talk about the contract before we had sex, but I don’t want to potentially ruin the night, so I’ll hold off until the night is over. I take a shower, lotion myself and slip into my black sheer robe with the feathers on the sleeves, pour myself some wine and wait for Joseph to show up.
Eight pm on the dot and there is a knock on the door. I open it to see Joseph there sexier than I remember him. No words are spoken; we both know what the deal is. Thirty seconds later we’re both naked and in bed. I inhale sharply as Joseph pushed inside me. I had forgotten how tight of a fit he is, and the next time I have a coherent thought the sun is rising. I lay there in Joseph’s arms listening to his breathing. I think about the papers I have on the desk in the other room, and I wonder how he is going to respond to them. After breakfast, that’s when I will talk to him about the contract, I think. He’s a businessman; I am sure he’ll understand. After all, we are both adults.
“You’re keeping me up, woman. You should be asleep. Apparently, I didn’t do a good job of putting you to sleep,” he grumbles out and scares the shit out of me at the same time. I thought he was asleep. All signs pointed to him being asleep, his breathing even, heartbeat slow, no movement. Who can do that and still be awake? Who is Joseph Gideon?
“You get employee of the month, sir; I just have a lot on my mind.”
“Hmm, now I know I didn’t do my job. Do you want to talk about it? I’m a good listener,” he offers as he begins rubbing my back.
Instead of answering him, I reach between us and begin stroking his cock. I do not want to talk yet; I have a sense of dread when it comes to giving him that contract. It’s like a stone sitting at the bottom of my stomach whenever I think about talking to him about it. Just like I planned, his cock hardens in my hands almost instantly and the look in his eyes lets me know he is not fooled with this avoidance tactic. He drags me on top of him as he slides me down on his dick. I suck in a breath, not just from the sensations, but from the tenderness. We fucked hard earlier, and I am still a little sore. But not enough to stop. He sits up against the headboard, wraps both arms around me to hold me still, plants both feet on the mattress and drives into me. All I can do is hold on for the ride. I am surrounded by him; he’s everywhere and he leaves me no room to do anything but take everything he is giving me. Before I can register the orgasm, he pulls out and turns me around on him. I slide back down and cum instantly. I slump against him weak as a newborn.
“Don’t do that. Where’s all that energy you just had? Ride that dick, baby,” he growls in my ear. Honestly, I should have let him pretend to be asleep, but I was a coward and didn’t want to bring up the contract, but I also don’t know how to do this without it. But I should have left the sleeping beast alone cause, damn. I muster all the strength I have left and begin to ride him. I reach back placing my hands behind his head and use not just my legs but internal muscles to ride and massage his cum from him. I don’t use Kegel balls for nothing.
“Shit!” He moves to get a different angle. He is hands down the most amazing lover I have ever had, and I have had some good ones. I feel another orgasm coming and I double my effort to get him to cum with me, but when he leaves my breasts alone to rub my clit, I know I am not going to win this war.
“Help me baby, please.” I ain’t too proud to beg, I think. And help he does. Not even sixty seconds later we are both cumming, and this time nothing I am worried about stops sleep from claiming me.
Joseph:
I give the waiter a tip and lock the door and set up lunch on the balcony for Joyce and me. We slept right through breakfast. But even after the night and early morning we spent together, the moment that stands out the most is when I offered to listen to whatever had her up and thinking so loud, I couldn’t get any real sleep. When she thought she was distracting me with sex, I knew exactly what she was doing, and I let her. After all, we have not known each other all that long, so spilling her guts to me probably felt awkward.
“Wake up, Joyce. I have lunch set up for us,” I say as I gently shake her awake.
“What time is it?” she croaks out.
“Almost four o’clock,” I tell her as my eyes track her while she walks naked into the bathroom.
“Down boy,” I whisper to my cock.
“Did you say something?” she yells from the bathroom.
“No. Hurry up, the food is getting cold.” I go sit at the table and wait for her to join me. The balcony overlooks the garden and beyond that is the Gulf of Mexico. The flowers are in full bloom. It’s a stunning view. I stand, pulling the chair out when she walks out on the balcony.
“That shirt looks familiar.”
“It’s more of a dress on me. I hope you don’t mind.”
“No, not at all.”
We enjoyed lunch. We were both famished after last night’s activities.
“I have a family dinner tonight, but I would love to take you to breakfast or lunch tomorrow before you leave.”
“You still have family dinners? I have never seen a close family like this before. You guys all live in the same house, have family dinners, it’s very different.”
