After the breathing exercises, the instructor dimmed the lights even more and the music changed to an even more mellow tone.
“Okay, during my classes, I like to begin with a pose called Yab Yum. Gentlemen, if you would please turn to face your partners and continue to sit cross-legged on the mat.” The men all did as told. “Ladies, now, you should sit on your partner’s thighs and cross your ankles behind his back.”
Danni slid onto Jaleen’s lap with ease as they sat facing one another.
“Now, I want you to take the time and get comfortable in this position. Focus on the breathing exercises I just taught you. The goal of this pose is to align your energies and begin to breathe in harmony to deepen your connection. It’s your choice if you’d rather keep your eyes open or closed.”
Jaleen leisurely wrapped his arms around Danni’s waist as she draped hers over his shoulders. Taking his cue from Danni, he kept his eyes open as they focused on their breathing while the instructor continued to speak.
“When you’re in a relationship, no matter how old or new, it’s important to make sure you’re not only focusing on the physical attraction, but also on that person’s soul. Now is the time for you to communicate without words. Leave your thoughts, hopes and wishes open for interpretation. Now is not the time to close yourself off, but rather, reach a new understanding that you never imagined you’d reach.”
Jaleen let the instructor’s words sink in as he maintained eye contact with Danni. He took note of things about her that he hadn’t noticed before. He’d always thought her smooth mahogany skin tone was the type of rich, creamy color he’d never seen on anyone before. Uniquely hers, just like her round, dark ginger eyes that were the type of eyes a man could get lost in. However, tonight he also noticed how long and thick her eyelashes were. When she blinked, she slightly crinkled her nose, making his gaze focus on her lips. Damn. He really did love her pouty lips. He could also tell that she studied his facial features just as much.
Without even noticing when it had happened, their breathing began to match in unison and soon Jaleen found himself closing his eyes while leaning his forehead against hers.
I really needed this, he thought, trying to focus on the moment and push aside any thoughts about work. It was easy to do because, already, he could only feel her in his arms. He could only taste her on his lips after their earlier lip-lock. It was her natural fruity scent that was seeping into his nostrils, seducing him with promises of what they could be doing if there weren’t others in the room.
Danni brought him a sense of comfort and support he hadn’t felt in a long time...if ever. It was in the little things she did to show him that she genuinely cared about the struggles he may be dealing with. Whether it be placing her hand on his cheek or just doing things to help him overcome his thoughts if his mind ventured to topics he’d rather not think about, like they had when they’d initially been locked in the storage locker.
Even now, she was lightly rubbing her nose against certain parts of his face. He couldn’t be certain, but he supposed that she could feel him clinging to her even if words weren’t spoken. She could probably tell that she was his lifeline right now. She was the only person helping him get through this hellish time in his life that he still had yet to fully discuss with her.
“Okay,” the instructor said after a few more moments. “I’ve asked my partner to join me to demonstrate the next five poses we will perform. We’ll start with the dancer’s pose.”
Jaleen and Danni were the last to break the Yab Yum pose. If it were up to him, he would have stayed in that pose all night. The only reason he finally decided to let her go was the fact that he knew what was coming next...and he couldn’t wait.

In the name of all that is holy, I don’t think I’ll ever forget tonight. Danni wasn’t the type of person that had always loved yoga. It was definitely something she’d grown to love as she grew more intrigued by the science of yoga. Yet, tantric yoga was on a whole other level. She not only enjoyed the different poses that made her feel closer to Jaleen than she ever had before, but she also loved hearing about each description before they did the pose.
After yoga, she’d rinsed off and put on the shorts and shirt provided to her per Mira’s instructions. Now, Mira had led her into a dimly lit room and handed her a note. When she asked if she should read it, Mira simply nodded. Danni unfolded the note and began to read it.
Dear Danni,
I hope you enjoyed tantric yoga as much as I did. The night isn’t over yet. A woman as special as you are should always be treated like a queen. Based on our conversations, I get the feeling that men from your past haven’t treated you as such. I aim to change that.
The future is uncertain, so I’d rather focus on the present. No matter how short or long our time together is, I want you to know that I’ll cherish every moment I spend with you. There shouldn’t be a day you doubt that you’re a queen to me...in more ways than one.
I hope you enjoy this massage.
Sincerely,
Jay
There were so many parts of his letter that stood out, she didn’t know where to start. First, she’d never had anyone treat her like a queen and Jaleen was making it extremely difficult to imagine any man living up to the standards he’d set. Second, he’d signed with his nickname Jay, not Jaleen. Only a few close to him called him Jay, so she felt honored that he’d addressed himself as such.
“You can keep on the shorts and shirt or you can undress to your comfort level,” Mira said. “The massage bed is heated and extra cushions have been added per Mr. Walker’s request. When you get under the top sheet, lie on your stomach. Your massage therapist will be in shortly.”
“Thank you.” As she slipped off her shirt and flip-flops, she wondered if Jaleen had hired an actual massage therapist or if he would be giving her a massage. If it were a stranger, she’d leave on her shorts. If not, she may be bold and remove all her clothing. She wasn’t trying to be too forward, but she also wasn’t sure how much longer she could handle the sexual tension between them without taking it another step forward, especially after such a stimulating yoga session.
Mind made up, she decided to completely undress. She’d just slipped under the sheet when there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.” Although her head was down, she knew it was Jaleen. The room felt too energized for it not to be.
“Are you okay if I perform your massage?”
“Yes.”
“Are you okay if I blindfold you?”
Oh, my goodness. What is he up to? “Yes, I’m fine with that.”
“Just so you know, this is a tantric massage and yesterday I had a tutorial with a massage therapist to ensure I performed the proper techniques.”
“Wow, you’re really prepared.”
“You have no idea.” The timbre in his voice was so deep. So robust. Downright sexy. “Let’s begin.” He gently lifted her head so that he could blindfold her.
“I created a playlist. If it’s too loud, let me know.”
She hadn’t noticed that music wasn’t present in the room until smooth love songs began playing from a Bluetooth speaker.
“It’s perfect.”
The words had barely left her lips before he was already folding down the sheet, exposing her bare back. His hands started at her neck, massaging away what felt like weeks and months of stress. When he reached her back, she finally smelled the lavender aromatherapy oil he was using. His fingers slid up and down her spine, stopping right above the curve of her backside.
After about ten minutes she felt the sheet drop even farther, exposing her backside. She was so caught up in the moment that she couldn’t make out the words he was mumbling under his breath. She didn’t need clarification once he placed his hands on both cheeks and began massaging her butt. His fluid,
circular strokes proved that he appreciated what she had to offer and damn if she could even focus on anything other than the pleasure he was giving her at the moment. She’d never had her butt massaged and once he removed the sheet completely and made his way to her thighs, she doubted any massage she had in the future would live up to a Jaleen Walker massage.
“In case I haven’t told you enough, you are an extremely beautiful woman,” he said, kneading her thighs with soft circles.
“Thank you.” She almost stuttered the two simple words when he began caressing her feet. The feeling was indescribable.
“Can you turn over for me?”
She went to turn, and hesitated. You’ll be completely exposed if you turn over. It wasn’t that she was too shy to present herself in all her naked glory to Jaleen. It was the fact that she wouldn’t be able to see his reaction because she was blindfolded.
“Don’t worry, I’m lifting the sheet right now, so I can’t see you.”
She reached her hand behind her back and did, indeed, feel him holding the sheet up to block his view. The soft sheet covered her body after she’d turned. She expected him to start at her arms or shoulders, but instead she felt him pulling down the sheet over the swells of her breasts.
“Just relax,” he said when she’d tensed. “Unless you want me to stop. If you do, just say the word.”
“No, don’t stop.” Her voice sounded breathless to her ears. “I didn’t tense because I want you to stop. I tensed in anticipation of what you’d planned to do next.”
Even though she couldn’t see his face, she imagined he was smiling at her response. Seconds later, her nipples perked when the cool air hit them. His hands began massaging her breasts, fingers twirling over her areolae. Her moans filled the room when he added another object to the mix. At first, she couldn’t make out exactly what it was. When she realized it was an elongated feather, it only increased her pleasure.
Her breasts weren’t the only place the feather explored. By the end of the massage, she didn’t think there was a place on her body that the feather hadn’t journeyed to.
“We’re all done, beautiful.” Jaleen said just as one of her favorite love songs was ending. “I hope you enjoyed it.”
“It was amazing,” she said, stretching out her oily body. “Thank you for that experience.” She waited for his response, but was met with silence. When she pulled off her blindfold, she was in the room alone.
I didn’t even hear him leave. As a matter of fact, she hadn’t even technically laid eyes on him throughout the entire massage. She pulled the sheet closer to her chest just as there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.” It was Mira.
“Mr. Walker told me to inform you that he will meet you in the Serenity room. I’ll give you a moment to get dressed, then I’ll take you to get your things.”
After Mira shut the door, Danni leaned back on the table and quietly laughed to herself. “Leave it to Jaleen to leave me pining for more,” she said out loud. It seemed to be a reoccurrence where he was concerned.
Chapter 11
Jaleen was hard as steel after the erotic massage he’d given Danni. Maintaining his self-control had been one of the toughest things he’d ever had to do. Now all that was left was executing the last part of his plan and hoping that Danni wasn’t upset at the way he’d left after her massage.
He’d had every intention of taking the blindfold off her and making sure that she’d enjoyed everything, but he’d feared that if he’d stayed in that room even a minute longer, they’d have never left it.
He glanced around the empty locker room. She should enter any minute now. No longer had the thought left his mind, she entered the locker room looking more relaxed than he’d ever seen her look before. He’d covered her with a healthy amount of oil in hopes that she would want to rinse some of it off. Therefore, he was elated to see her make her way to the shower stalls.
Once she stepped into a stall and closed the curtain behind her, Jaleen walked over to the showers. He checked the locker room to make sure no one was around to see what he was doing before he stopped in front of the shower she was in.
He watched her arm peek out to drape her clothes over the side of the shower stall.
Okay, Walker. Now’s the time to make your move.
He removed his shirt but hesitated when his hand went to the band of his shorts. What if this isn’t what she wants? What had seemed like a good idea at first, suddenly seemed wrong. He usually never second-guessed if a woman wanted to take things to the next level. However, Danni wasn’t just any woman. Besides, they hadn’t really gotten a chance to talk much tonight. As much as he enjoyed the tantric couple’s experience, talking hadn’t been part of the equation. Maybe I should just dip out before she sees or hears me.
“If you take one step out of this locker room, I’m never speaking to you again.”
Jaleen froze at the sound of Danni’s voice. She wasn’t talking loudly, but it was loud enough for him to hear on the other side of the curtain. She peeked her head through the opening.
“Did you hear what I said?”
“Um.” Jaleen scratched the back of his head. “How did you know I was in here?”
“After leaving me naked on the massage table, I was hoping you’d sneak in here. I noticed you in that darkened corner when I entered.”
“Damn, that makes me sound creepy.”
“Not when I knew why you were in here.” She opened the curtain a little more, revealing the swells of her soapy breasts. “Still want to leave?”
He glanced at her chest before meeting her eyes. “There’s only one thing that will happen if I come into that shower.”
She gave him a sly smile. “It better happen. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be fulfilling another item on my list.” She let the curtain drop closed.
I should have known she’d guess why I was in here.
As soon as he’d learned she’d wanted to have sex in a public place, he’d known this was the perfect opportunity. He couldn’t keep her waiting any longer. His body was already craving her in a way that had to be unhealthy. He removed his shorts and stepped into the shower.
Her back was to him, giving him the opportunity to observe her more closely. Her hair was pinned to the top of her head in a way he hadn’t seen before, but that’s not what took his breath away. The suds from her shower gel were dripping down her body, landing in creases he was itching to explore more of. It wasn’t enough to stand there and watch her. He wanted to be an active participant.
He kissed the tops of her shoulders and was rewarded by another sweet moan similar to the ones he’d been hearing during her massage. Grabbing the loofah out of her hand, he began running it over her breasts, then dipped the loofah between her legs.
“We don’t have much time,” he whispered in her ear. “Someone could come in at any moment.”
Instead of responding to him verbally, she arched her back into him and began rubbing her butt against his hardness, causing him to grow more by the second. Without warning, she turned to face him.
She nipped at his ear. “I’m not really in the mood for waiting.”
Her words surged through him like a strong force that couldn’t be ignored. Jaleen reached into the pocket of his shorts that he’d also draped over the side of the stall and protected them both. His lips were on hers a minute later. They hadn’t kissed the entire night, so Jaleen felt like their sexual tension was at an all-time high.
Danni lifted her legs at the same time Jaleen edged them into a corner of the stall, careful to avoid getting her hair wet. He broke their kiss and held her gaze, a part of him in disbelief that he was moments away from being with the woman he thought about more than he cared to admit.
With her legs wrapped around his waist, he entered her in one long, slow stroke. They both m
oaned in satisfaction at just how right he felt buried inside her.
“I knew you’d feel amazing,” he whispered to her.
“It feels so good,” she said as she began to roll her hips.
Jaleen took over from there, dipping in and out of her core, each stroke better than the one before. They moved in unison as the water prickled down his back and slid over their bodies like a warm blanket. Suddenly they heard faint voices a couple of stalls down before they heard two showers turn on.
“Do you think they know we’re in here together?” Danni whispered, her eyes wide in surprise.
“Maybe,” Jaleen said as he continued his rhythm inside her. “But isn’t that what you wanted? The possibility of getting caught?”
The fire returned to her eyes the second the words left his mouth. Her hips rejoined the pleasure, demanding as much from him as he demanded from her.
Jaleen lifted her hands above her head and clasped them in his. He’d known they hadn’t had long before someone entered the locker room, but now he wished they were in the privacy of her home or his because the naughty things he wanted to do to her couldn’t be done in a small stall with two other companions nearby.
Jaleen unclasped their hands so that he could reach one of his hands in between their bodies and move the other around her waist to hold her more securely. When his thumb found her sensitive nub, he twirled his thumb in lazy circles, heightening her desire.
Her catlike groan was immediate and caused him to cover her mouth with his other hand. The movement only made him want to elicit more sounds from deep within her core, so he added extra pressure to her nub and increased his movements. Moments later, Danni’s entire body convulsed in a powerful orgasm that sent him soaring over the edge right with her. He must have let out an animallike groan because she placed one of her hands over his mouth while his hand remained on hers.
Jaleen eased her to the floor, allowing her body to slide down his in the process.
“We should continue this someplace else,” he suggested after they’d dried and gotten dressed.
