CHAPTER 24
SEAN
The next time Lashawnda woke, the sun had risen well past its peak. The clock read two in the afternoon, and I had already been up for a few hours. I was greedy with her body. At some point last night or this morning, she complained the pain between her legs and the soreness of her neglected muscles was too much. I was on cloud nine and couldn’t get enough. I adored making love to her body.
I walked into the bedroom to find her sitting up in bed. The smile she gifted me with was something I wished to wake up to every morning for the rest of my life.
“You see something you like?” I asked her seductively.
“Actually, yes I do,” she answered, sitting up on her elbows. The sheet slid down her chest exposing those beautiful plump breasts of hers. Lashawnda did nothing to cover herself. She was such a fucking tease.
“I bet you do.”
I was trying my hardest to hold in the smile that threatened to escape. I rolled my hips and gripped my cock while looking at her. She bit her bottom lip, and her eyes widened. I rubbed my hand toward my pelvis until I reached the waistband of my pants. Hooking my thumb into the sides, I slowly slid them down just enough that a centimeter of my shaft peeked out at her.
“Mmm…just what I was looking for,” she replied, sitting up fully on the bed and stretching her hands high above her head. That little move put her ample chest on display for me. The vixen knew she was distracting me.
“Do me a favor and grab my robe that’s by the chair? I was looking for it.” Lashawnda looked past me as if I wasn’t in the room.
I pulled my hands from my pants and stood with them crossed over my chest, staring at her. She was yanking my chain. Taking off in a short sprint, I vaulted into the bed, knocking her back and beginning to tickle her mercilessly. Her high-pitched squeals of happiness were the perfect wake up call. After she begged for me to stop, I kissed her on the forehead and eased underneath the covers with her.
“I made breakfast,” I said, snuggling behind her and placing a kiss on her ear.
“You’re so good to me,” Lashawnda moaned, pressing her back firmly into my chest.
“My momma taught me a little something.”
“Well thank you, Momma.”
We laid together silently in contentment. Lashawnda traced the lines in my palm.
“Did you leave?” she asked pointing at the pants I was wearing.
“Yeah, I went home to grab some stuff. Plus, you were out of milk, so I stopped by the store to pick some up.” I leaned up on my elbow to look down at her. “So, what do you want to do today?”
“I don’t know. Nothing,” Lashawnda suggested.
“Nothing?”
“Well, not nothing. I was hoping we could just relax inside. But, I don’t mind if you want to do something. As long as I get to be with you; I’m good.”
“Yeah?” I asked rolling her over onto her back so I could look at her face.
Lashawnda smiled shyly. “Yes, I just want to have you all to myself for the next two days.”
“I think that is an exceptional plan. No phones, no emails, no distractions.” I kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Just me and my lady having a lazy weekend. You sure you won’t get bored?” I kissed her nose.
“There are a lot of things about you that are still a mystery to me, Sean. I know I won’t get bored exploring all the wonderful facets of who you are and what we can become together.” Lashawnda placed a loud kiss on my lips.
I furrowed my brows at her statement. My mind was still trying to decipher what she meant by what we could become together.
I started thinking back to last night. At some point after midnight, I woke up to the feel of Lashawnda stroking me to full mast. The woman was a damn fast learner. Her strokes were inexperienced at first. I was shocked by her being bold and taking the lead. It made me even more aroused knowing she didn’t know how to suck my cock like some pro. But, when she put it in her mouth, and sucked me like she was tasting my soul, I nearly passed out.
She watched me with her hand on my abdomen and the other around my shaft. I stared back at her, transfixed. I had to grab hold of the wooden headboard to keep from grabbing her by the side of her face and forcing my cock down her throat. When she moved down to my balls while rotating my shaft with both hands, I started whimpering like a wounded puppy.
She had been down on me for less than two minutes, and I was ready to cum. I reached down and grabbed Lashawnda underneath her armpits and pulled her up. My cock popped out of her mouth as I broke the tight seal she had created with the suction of her full lips. Lashawnda braced her hands on either side of my body, looking confused. With little communication between us, I impaled her on my cock and rode her hard from below.
The next time she gave me head, she was going to have to allow me to get a few nuts in, or she’d have to tie me up. That woman learned too quick. Hell, she already knew I was a breast man and had me hypnotized every time she exposed those succulent mounds.
☙☙MV❧❧
Our first weekend of laying around and enjoying each other’s company was coming to an end. I felt closer to Lashawnda. We had built on the foundation of our friendship. We cooked, watched movies, played Scrabble, and told stories of our childhood. We made love to each other repeatedly all over the house. I couldn’t wait for next weekend at my place. The garden tub was high on my list of places to make love to her.
I even got that fat cat to warm up to me. It took a while, but I figured out food was the key to getting Fat Bastard comfortable enough to stop hissing at me when I came within five feet of him. Never thought I’d spend so much money on gourmet, cat food. Hell, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as gourmet, cat food.
It was getting late in the evening on Sunday. Lashawnda and I had set up a cozy nude dinner on her balcony. She protested at first because she didn’t want anyone calling the police on us for letting it all hang out, but somehow, I convinced her we were safe from prying eyes. The walls of her balcony were high and completely enclosed. Besides, I told her I had never eaten fruit from warm, chocolate-colored skin and as my woman she was required to oblige in making my fantasy a reality.
I was laying on my stomach between Lashawnda’s open thighs, swirling slices of strawberries in whipped cream across her lower abdomen. The pressure of her fingers through my messy hair was soothing. Warm air tickled our naked bodies with the scent of fresh cut grass. I had never felt this much at peace.
Lashawnda let a soft sigh slip from her lips echoing my thoughts of being happy and content. I popped the cream covered fruit in my mouth and looked up in time to see the peaceful smile play on her lips. That doubt I saw a few months back in the garage was gone now.
I was making good on my promise to keep her blissfully happy. I looked forward to many years of evenings like this. Thoughts of a future with Lashawnda reminded me of how many times we had made love without any protection. I knew I needed to bring it up. Truthfully, I was afraid of what something like this would mean for her if she wasn’t prepared to have children with me. I knew she was my forever, but was a lifelong journey with me something she desired?
“Lashawnda?” I said, causing her to look down at me.
“Hmm,” she responded, still languorously stroking my scalp.
“Are you on birth control?”
The question made her stop her hand movements. Looking out into the darkened sky, she took a deep breath before answering.
“No, Sean I’m not. I got off birth control a few months after I ended my relationship with Stephan.”
“Um...okay. You realize we’ve been pretty careless all weekend. I mean, I haven’t used anything…and…and well, I didn’t pull out at all.”
“Yeah, I know,” she answered. Her voice was barely audible. “I’m sorry.”
Did I just hear her apologize? I was perplexed. The chair squeaked as I pushed myself up and repositioned our bodies so we were facing each other. I cupped her cheek and tur
ned her face to look into her eyes.
“Did you just apologize to me?”
Lashawnda bit her bottom lip and nodded her head.
“Why? I should be the one apologizing to you. I don’t know if this helps or not; but, umm…you’re the only woman I’ve ever done that with.” I saw the confusion in her eyes, and I felt like an idiot for not explaining myself clearly. “I mean, I’ve never had unprotected sex with any other woman but you.”
“You’re the only man I’ve ever had unprotected sex with.”
“Just for the record, I don’t have any STDs either. I get myself tested every six months. My mom got me in the habit of doing it when I was in undergrad. She was very adamant about that stuff when she realized I was starting to live like I had to sample every variety of women before I died. Her words, not mine,” I explained further. “While we’re on the subject, she really wants to meet you.”
“You told your mom about me?” Lashawnda asked.
“Hell yeah, I did. Why? You haven’t told your family about me?”
“Well, Crystal and Stacy know about you, my mom knows I’m dating someone, but my dad doesn’t really know much.”
Well, shit!
I shouldn’t feel slighted, but I did. I’ve been bragging from the moon and back and every place in between that I had the most amazing woman as my girlfriend. Yet, she hadn’t even told her parents about me. I was an amateur to this relationship stuff, but three months was a long enough time, wasn’t it?
“Oh,” was all I could reply.
“Sean, please don’t take it the wrong way. I wanted to be sure about us before I brought you home to meet them. My dad has not been too keen on his daughters' relationships since Crystal and Brian have been going through their issues.”
“What’s the verdict? Are you sure about me now?” I asked, trying to take the sting out of my voice.
On the one hand, I understood her reluctance. Then again, things were great between us. Why would she have any doubts? If we didn’t have this conversation, how long would she have waited to introduce me to her family? I knew Lashawnda well enough that she would feel guilty. I did not want guilt to be the reason for her to make those introductions.
“I am very sure about us, Sean. No matter what happens because of this weekend, I’m looking forward to spending a lot more time with you; just like this.”
Lashawnda put her hands up and palmed my face. When she kissed me with such intensity, I had to let go of the fear she didn’t feel the way I felt about her. I’ve been kissed before. No other woman has ever kissed me like this. I had no reason to hold her reservations against her. I would just work twice as hard to make her comfortable about our future together.
The heavens found that exact moment to rejoice with us. A loud clapping thunder erupted in the night sky, and a light drizzle began to fall. I was reluctant to break my hold on Lashawnda, but there was a nice comfy bed in her room we could easily finish this conversation in.
“Come on, let’s get out of this rain.”
I pulled Lashawnda into a standing position. She began gathering the bowls of fruit and various dipping sauces and placing them on the tray. The saucer of caramel slipped from her fingers and clattered to the ground, breaking in two. I couldn’t help myself and laughed. I had witnessed her stub her toes at least twenty times over the last three days. Bending, I took the two halves of the shallow bowl and placed them on the tray, not wanting her to cut herself on them.
“Go on inside, and I’ll grab this stuff.”
Lashawnda didn’t complain. Her hair was already a tangled mess and getting it wet was only going to make it worse. She grabbed the door handle and jerked it a few times.
“Um, Sean we have a problem.”
“What’s wrong?” I asked hearing the concern in her voice.
“The door...uh…the door is locked.” She jerked the handle a few more times.
“What do you mean locked?”
“I mean the door is locked and we can’t get back inside,” she said slowly, wrapping her arms around her naked body.
I walked over and pressed down on the handle and got the same result as she did.
“Oh shit. How did it get locked?” I asked jiggling the handle hard enough to make the entire frame rattle. The light rain increased to a soft drizzle. I started pacing on the balcony trying to think of how we could get back inside.
I turned to see a grinning Lashawnda looking at me.
“You better stop it, woman. I’ve never made love in the rain before. With you ogling my body as such I might have to forget my promise to let your sweet body rest.”
Her nipples peaked at my comment.
If our situation were different, I would have followed through on my threat. Right now, I needed to think of a way to get us inside before the rain got heavier.
“You look like a sleek lion with your body glistening and that beautiful piece of yours hanging between your legs.”
“Oh, little lady you are definitely going to get some more tonight. I can see you’re not that sore. But first, we gotta get inside. Any suggestions?”
The rain started coming down in heavy sheets. The wind picked up speed and swirled the heavy droplets around us.
“My neighbor across the hall has a spare key,” Lashawnda suggested. “But one of us will have to go get it from her.”
“Jade?” Lashawnda nodded.
I looked over the balcony. We were only on the second floor. “Okay, I think I can get down by climbing to your neighbor's balcony. Is there a way to get into the building from here?”
“Yeah, there is a door right below us that leads up the back stairwell.” Lashawnda leaned over the balcony. “Sean, are you sure about this? I don’t think it’s a good idea to go scaling down the building. Besides, unless you forgot, you’re not wearing any clothes.”
“I’ll be fine.” I pulled her into my arms. “I’ve gone rock climbing with the guys in places far deadlier than this. I’m more afraid of getting caught running around naked than hurting myself.”
I kissed her on the forehead and peered over the edge again. “Where will the stairs put me when I get back up?”
“You’ll be right next to the elevator. Jade’s apartment is two doors down at 304. I pray she’s home.” Lashawnda snuggled closer into my warmth. The rain had picked up, and she was starting to shiver from the wind. I rubbed her arms briskly.
“I’ll be back. Keep yourself warm, okay?”
I hopped onto the balcony and swung my legs over the edge. Turning around, I slid down feet first hanging on the edge. Using the side of the building for leverage, I shifted my position until I was right between the wall and the balcony. There were small protrusions of about five inches surrounding the entire building. They were placed three feet in width and provided the perfect place for me to scale down.
This was nothing compared to some of the things I’d done in the past.
“Sean.”
I looked up to see Lashawnda peeking over the balcony at me.
“Yeah, baby?”
“Please be careful.” Her voice sounded strained.
“I’ll be very careful.” I pushed up until we were face to face and placed a soft kiss on her lips. With our height difference, I was always the one looking down at her when we kissed. This new position was a change. Another soft kiss, and I continued to make my way down.
It took me a few minutes, but I was able to reach the ground with no problems. I waved up at Lashawnda, letting her know I was okay. Now, the real test was making it back upstairs without getting caught, and then hoping Jade was home. If push came to shove, I would climb back up and break the glass on the door. Which, as I thought about it, would have been a better plan than going through all of this.
Shit!
Being around that woman of mine had my brain all over the place at times. I was starting to understand the whole lovesick fool condition.
The grass was wet and muddy between my toes. I walked as quick
ly as I could with my hand covering my privates. I found the door leading to the emergency stairs. As soon as I opened it, a guy walked past me with a duffle bag thrown over his shoulder. We stared at each other briefly, one with admiration the other with embarrassment.
“Sorry, man; I locked myself out,” I said apologetically.
“Oh, you don’t have to apologize. If I knew what was waiting for me, I would have brought my camera to take pictures,” he replied flirtatiously in a high-pitched male voice.
“I didn’t even know how to respond to that.” I laughed and shook my head.
I could feel the other man’s eyes watching me, but I was more concerned with getting to Lashawnda than worrying about covering my ass. I made it into the building and up the flights of stairs without running into anyone else. Once I reached the entrance to the third floor, I slowly opened the door and peeked in. No one was roaming the hall. I knocked on Jade’s door with haste. Luck was on my side, and I wanted to get out before anyone came off the elevator. It took three knocks before she finally opened the door.
Jade swung the door open and stared at me with wide eyes. I made sure to cup my dick as best as I could with both hands.
“Woah! If you’re a stripper, I’m sorry, wrong door buddy. I mean...I’m more than happy to invite you in.”
“Hi, I’m Sean, Lashawnda’s boyfriend. We’ve seen each other around the building a few times. I know this sounds strange, but I need to get Lashawnda’s spare key from you. We accidentally locked ourselves out on the balcony. She’s still out there waiting for me, and the rain is starting to come down pretty hard out there.”
She was slowly eyeing me up and down before she finally opened the door completely letting me in.
“Stand right there. I don’t want you getting my carpet wet.” She instructed before walking into another room. She returned momentarily with the key and a hot pink towel.
“Here, something to cover yourself with. There are a lot of single women and a few gay guys in this building and any one of them would consider it an early Christmas present to catch you roaming about without any clothes on.”
