“Absolutely not. But I know you and I know something is up. You’ve been acting weird all day. What’s going on?” I laughed. He put his arms around me and pulled me close. He kissed me softly, teasing my lips with his. I melted into his arms as he picked me up and spun me around in a circle.
“I wanted you to come straight here because I wanted to have dinner with you.”
“Mmm-hmmm,” I giggled against his lips.
He put me down and said, “You ready for dinner?” He powered his cell phone off and grabbed his keys.
“Yes sir!” I chirped as we made his way out of his office and to the restaurant.
Riding the Libby Lofts elevator to the 9th floor, Ty and I laughed and joked so loudly that our 7th floor neighbors gave us the stink eye before they stepped onto their floor. Continuing our joyous mood, we walked down the hallway to my loft with Ty tickling me. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Begging him to stop, Ty grabbed me from behind and held me.
“I love you,” he whispered into my hair.
“I love you too baby,” I responded, leaning into him. My chest still heaving from the bouts of laughter his tickling fingers caused.
“Let’s get you inside.”
I opened the door and put my keys on the hall console. As we walked deeper into the loft, I cut on the lights and noticed that Ty was hanging back. I looked back at him questioningly. He smiled and looked down. I quickly looked around the loft before looking at him again.
“What’s going on? You’re freaking me out,” I burst out anxiously. My wide smile couldn’t be contained as I walked back toward him as he leaned against the wall.
“I’m just admiring your beauty,” he said smoothly.
Standing in front of him, I wrapped my arms around his neck. “Is that right?”
“Yes,” he simply stated. “How about you get changed and then come down the hall? We’ve never stayed together at my loft.”
“Okay... I want to take a shower and then I’ll be right there.”
“Sounds good. I’d like to hop in the shower as well.”
Even though we were going to be spending the entire night together and would be meeting back up in half an hour, we took our time saying goodbye. His kisses sent chills down my spine and incited that dull ache between my thighs. I had to force myself to break away from him. We finally said goodbye and I guaranteed him I’d be at his place in 30 minutes.
During the shower, I thought about our decision to wait. At first, it was because it was way too soon. And then after we told each other how we felt about one another, I was ready to give myself to him completely. He would always cool things off before they got too far by smiling and telling me to be patient because he had something special in store for us. I’m tired of waiting, I thought as I pulled on a lacy black thong with a sheer, black baby doll nightie. Taking one of his white button ups from the closet, I slipped into it and then put on a black silk robe that fell to mid-thigh and my slippers. It was my idea to wait and he agreed. So maybe he’s waiting for a clear cut sign from me that I‘m over waiting, I thought as I looked at my reflection. Inspired by something I’d done a long time ago, I stretched. It’s been ten years, but I think I still have the moves, I said as I spun around in the mirror.
Knocking on his door, I waited nervously for what I was about to do. Ty opened the door wearing a pair of oversized grey New England Patriots sweatpants. And nothing else. My eyes immediately dropped from his face to his chest and arms…and his 8-pack abs…and the trail of hair that extended from his bellybutton into his cotton sweatpants. My mouth hung open for a second before I snapped it shut and moved my eyes back up to his face. I was caught gawking and I knew it. Unfortunately, I felt unable to stop it. The combination of what I was about to do and his half naked body left me powerless to my desire. Shaking my head, I looked to the floor to collect myself before looking back at him.
“Hi baby…can I come in?” I asked as calmly as I possibly could.
“Yes, yes. I’m sorry. I was distracted by you in that robe. You don’t even want to know the thoughts I was having,” he laughed.
Hopefully they were similar to my own thoughts, I thought as I walked passed him into the living room.
“Let me take your bag,” Ty insisted. He took my overnight bag from my hand and noticed what I had in the other. “Why do you have your portable speaker baby girl? You know I have one,” Ty asked as we walked into the living room. I didn’t respond.
“Wait right here,” he said as he took my bag upstairs. I took the opportunity to hook up the portable speaker on the coffee table. Once done, I looked up and noticed the classy set up on the kitchen table. Fruit, cheese, wine, and crackers sat in the middle surrounded by candles. Awww, he is perfect, I thought as I scrolled down the playlist until I found the song.
When Ty got to the bottom step, I beckoned him over with my finger. “You look really good in that robe Sahara,” he marveled as he walked over.
I felt my skin warm at his compliment as it always did when he was around. Once he got in front of me, I kissed him, wrapping my arms around his neck. With my phone in hand behind his head, I hit play. ‘All I’ started playing and I pushed him so that he was seated on the couch right in front of me. As I let the beat fill the room, I lip synced the spoken words to him. I did a slow dance to the music. When the singing started, I started singing as well. I slowly undid the belt of the robe and his mouth dropped as he realized what I was doing.
After removing the robe, I focused on dancing for him. Knowing I had 4 minutes to play with, I took my time unbuttoning his shirt and utilizing the moves I learned in that pole dance fitness class. By the end of the song, I was standing in front of him wearing only sheer garments that essentially left my body completely exposed.
“Sahara…that was the sexiest shit I’ve ever seen in my life,” Ty exhaled slowly.
“I’m glad you liked it,” I murmured, glancing at the bulge in his pants.
Sitting up so that he was eye to eye with my belly button, he ran his hands up the back of my legs. He stopped right before my ass and squeezed. “I want you so bad, you know that?” He groaned as he put his forehead on my belly and pulled me closer to him. He looked up and when our eyes locked, I knew the wait was over. Lust and desire was written all over his face and the look in his eye instantly got me wet.
Ty sat back and because he still had a grip on my legs, I fell forward on him. I slid down and straddled his lap. His hands found their way to my hips. I felt him pressed against me through the cotton of his sweatpants. I moaned as I rotated my hips against him. He whispered my name hoarsely before closing his eyes and putting his head back.
“Sahara…” he hissed between clenched teeth. “We said we’d wait. And I’ll wait as long as you want baby girl. I have something special planned for you… but if you keep grinding on me—”
I pressed my lips against his, silencing him. The kiss was hot and needy and as I pulled away, I lightly sucked on his bottom lip. Trailing kisses from his lips across his cheek, I whispered against his ear, “There’s nothing I want more than to feel you inside of me.”
Groaning, Ty responded, “I had a plan baby. I want everything to be perfect for you.” His hands cupped the round of my ass and pulled me into him harder.
“Forget the plan. We’ve waited long enough. Don’t you think?” I bit his earlobe gently before kissing my way down his neck and over his collarbone.
In response, he pulled me closer to him and said, “You have no idea.”
His mouth crashed into mine and all of the pent up sexual tension between us exploded. His tongue played with mine in a way that made me long to feel it all over my body. The thought gave me chills. He stood up with me still attached to him. I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him hard. Taking his time, he walked across the loft, cut the downstairs lights off, and went up the stairs. Putting me down with my back toward the bed, he pulled himself away from me. I pouted playfully and he laughed. He
brushed the loose strands of hair from my forehead and stared at me.
Suddenly, reaching over, he turned the light switch off. A soft glow highlighted the room and I turned around. Ty had lit candles around the bedroom. Red rose petals covered the bed and the floor. Champagne sat on ice and two long stem champagne flutes sat next to it.
“What?!” I exclaimed, taking in the whole room. Bringing my hands to my chest, my mouth dropped open. I practically yelled, “When did you do this?!”
Pulling me to the bed, he sat me down and poured me a glass of champagne. “Well, on my lunch break I picked up the fruit and cheese from the gourmet deli you pointed out the first day we spent together. Drink this,” he said, handing me a glass and walking to his docking station for his phone.
He continued, “While you were in the shower, I did the rose petals. And when I brought your bag up here, I lit the candles. I kept the lights on up here so you wouldn’t notice.” Finding the song he wanted, he turned around and walked back over to me. His eyes burned into mine as he walked back to the bed.
“This is perfect, thank you for this,” I sighed as I took another sip, never taking my eyes away from his. The sweet, bubbly liquid did nothing to cool how hot I felt all over. I felt as though I was melting under his gaze. I put the glass on the table and scooted back on the bed as he came closer.
Ty crawled on top of me and my senses heightened with anticipation. His muscles tightened and flexed under his weight as he balanced himself on his forearms and kissed me hungrily. Our hands explored each other’s bodies as the kiss grew deeper and needier. He pulled away and started kissing down my neck. His fingers found my nipples and he gently pulled and twisted them before allowing the wet heat of his mouth to suck each one through the sheer fabric. I moaned as his mouth covered my nipple and flicked it with his tongue.
Kissing down my belly, his fingers had already found the most sensitive part of my body. Instead of ripping my panties off, he slowly stroked me. The sensation of the fabric against my damp skin turned me on even more. He watched my face as he played with me, figuring out what I liked best. He covered my nipple with his mouth again as he slid my panties to the side to eliminate the barrier.
“You like that?” he whispered as he bit down gently on my erect nipple and pushed his finger through my sensitive folds. I purred as he hooked his finger into my g-spot. His movements would’ve definitely put me over the edge but he kept slowing down, keeping my orgasm just out of reach.
Oh he’s doing this on purpose! I thought as I felt him quicken his movements to get me close to my orgasm and then slow down again. “Not yet baby girl,” he breathed against my belly as he made his way further down my body.
Lifting my hips, Ty removed my panties. Putting my legs over his shoulders, he kissed my ankle. He left a trail of slightly wet kisses down my legs until he got to the apex of my thighs. I felt him breathing on me as he slid a finger back inside my wetness. His finger was still but his heated breaths were coming hard and fast. He was so close. If I moved a fraction of an inch, his mouth would be on me. The anticipation was killing me. He deliberately blew on me, causing me to cry out.
“Baby please,” I begged as he held my hips in place and blew on me again.
“Do you want me to taste you baby girl?” Ty seductively asked as his lips brushed against me. I moaned, loudly in response.
Hearing his words put me that much closer to the edge and I was unable to speak so I just nodded. He started to work his finger in and out of me with painstakingly slow movements. He was in total control of my body.
“Let me hear you say it,” he groaned as he increased the speed, taking my building orgasm to the edge before he removed his finger altogether.
“Please…please baby,” I begged in a whisper as I tried to push my hips up to his lips. “I want to feel your tongue—,” I ended with a loud hiss as he buried his tongue inside me.
I moaned incoherently as he moved around expertly, finding the epicenter of my pleasure with his tongue and reentering a finger inside me. Increasing in speed, I panted as he sucked and licked and played with me. Although the music was on, the only sound I could hear was our moans and the erotic sounds of him lapping at my wetness. The combination of the sounds and his expert ministrations pushed me to the brink of release. I whispered his name over and over again as my orgasm kept building. He would take me to the cusp and pause, making sure it built to be a powerful release. Finally, a sinful purr rolled out of my mouth and my eyes shut tight as I bucked feverishly against his touch. I’d never experienced anything like that before as my mind and body imploded with carnality. Alternating the pressure and speed of his assault on me, I quickly reached my peak again and again.
“That’s it. Give it to me baby girl,” I heard Ty moan against me, causing yet another wave of pleasure to course through my body.
I tried to gather my thoughts as I listened to my heart pounding. “Wow…” I breathed as I continued to have my head back and eyes closed.
Ty had made his way beside me on the bed and I rolled over to face him. Noticing he was completely naked, my body screamed for him. He was long, thick, and hard. I wrapped my hand around him and felt him respond to my touch. Sighing, I leaned forward and kissed him. I could still taste myself on his lips as he hungrily kissed me, pulling me into his hardness. I lifted my body on top of his and straddled him. I felt his shaft rub against my wetness and I moaned loudly. Pulling my black baby doll nighty off, I pressed my bare skin against his bare skin. For the first time, we both allowed ourselves to be completely naked in front of one another. I felt exposed in the best possible way.
Suddenly, the lights downstairs came on and I screamed. Throwing me off of him and covering me with the comforter, Ty quickly threw on his sweatpants. Grabbing a baseball bat from under the bed, he started down the stairs without making a sound. He was only halfway down when he said, “What the hell are you doing here?”
“I thought you said you always stay at Sahara’s,” Bennett retorted.
Bennett, you asshole! I screamed in my head as I grabbed my nighty from beside me and slipped it back on.
“This is my house Bennett. What are you doing here?”
“Whitney is on her way up. I’m actually feeling her a little bit.”
“That’s nice, but you have to go. Now.”
“Oh it’s okay for you to go on and on and on about Sahara, but I can’t mention what’s up with Whitney,” Bennett laughed. “I see how it is man.”
“Sahara and I are spending time together. You need to leave,” Ty said in a whisper that I could clearly hear.
“Look, I’m trying to spend some quality time with Whitney. Come on man, let me use your place. You just have to go down the hall. It’s not like you haven’t gotten it already. The way your ass is acting all whipped and shit, I know she put it on you plenty of times. I just need your place for the night!”
Did he really just go there?? Bennett is the devil. Point, blank, period, I thought as I rolled my eyes in annoyance and embarrassment. What Ty and I have or haven’t done is none of Bennett’s business! And this isn’t a random hookup. We are in love! Bennett is an absolute ass for trying to belittle what we have going on.
I heard the knock on the door and Whitney’s voice so I took that opportunity to take my sheet covered body to the dresser in the corner. Slipping on one of Ty’s grey T-shirts over top of my baby doll nighty, I sat on the bed and waited for the intruders to leave. Ty and I have some unfinished business, I thought as a wave of heat traveled through my body.
“Hi Whitney,” Ty said, “Bennett, let me talk to you for a second.”
I could hear the footsteps of the two men walking from one side of the loft to the other. They seemed to be right under the bedroom.
“Look, I know I showed up unexpectedly. But I called you! You never called me back and then when I called you again, your phone was off. Come on man, please. You know I always have your back so please have mine on this. I have been ch
ecking on things with Motive for the last week and not to be the asshole to bring this up, but next week—” Bennett uttered in a low tone.
Is something wrong with Motive? I thought worriedly.
“Fine,” Ty said coolly. “For one night, and you for damn sure are not using my bed. Get a hotel for tomorrow if you’re staying the weekend.”
Worry quickly turned to disappointment as I heard Ty relent. Wait what?! We are leaving? I thought as disappointment turned into frustration.
“I know, I know. Thanks man,” Bennett’s voice was louder as he returned to talking in his regular tone of voice.
“Go in the hallway. We’ll be out of here in a minute,” Ty responded.
“She’s here?” Bennett asked before calling out to Whitney. “Hey Whit, your boss is here!”
“Great,” I muttered under my breath as I got out of the bed and grabbed my overnight bag. I pulled on a pair of jeans just as Ty made it to the landing of the top step.
“Baby girl…” Ty began.
“Let’s just go,” I said without making eye contact with him.
We silently packed up and then walked down the stairs. I went to the living room and picked up my robe and Ty’s white button up. On the way to the door, I looked at the impressive spread that Ty had picked up. I didn’t take a lot of time to appreciate it when I walked in because I was on a solitary mission to seduce him.
“Sahara, wait!” Ty called out from behind me. I turned to him and he handed me his bag. I took the bag curiously and he went to the cheese, fruit and wine spread. Packing everything up, he put the food in a paper bag and tried to take his bag from me.
“I’ll carry your bag baby,” I said as I watched him trying to salvage the ruined night.
“I’m sorry we were interrupted. I turned off my phone before we had dinner. I didn’t realize he was coming in tonight,” Ty explained.
I walked over to him and kissed him softly. “Before the interruption, tonight was absolutely perfect.”
