Wait a minute! Her mind hit on the brakes.
She wasn’t on a date with Brian. This dinner was only two roommates getting to know each other better for the sake for their mutual friends.
Shauntie and Nash didn’t want them at odds with each other, so that was the reason she agreed to stay here. Sapphire told herself she better remember that before things went too far because a couple of hot kisses with Brian didn’t constitute a relationship.
Hearing a noise behind her, Sapphire turned her head and saw Brian coming back through the kitchen door towards her. Her heart pounded away in her chest at his disheveled look. Brian had rolled the sleeves of his dress shirt up past his elbows and undid a couple of buttons displaying his smooth chest. She quickly tossed back the rest of her wine placing the empty glass back down next to her as Brian rejoined her in front of the fireplace.
“Sorry I took so long but I put our plates in the dishwasher and got them going before I came back out here. I didn’t want to leave them piled up in the sink for later.”
Placing his arm behind her back, Brian leaned closer surrounding them in the heat emanating from his body. Sapphire couldn’t deny Brian had an innately captivating presence about him, something that he was well aware of and used brilliantly to his advantage.
“Not a problem. I was just staring into the fire thinking,” she said.
“Could I hope your thoughts were about me?” Lightly, he fingered a loose tendril of hair that had fallen on her cheek.
“Actually, I was thinking about you and the wonderful time you showed me today,” Sapphire admitted. She turned her head to look at Brian making him let go of her hair. Why should she deny him the truth?
“I had a good time too. I’m glad we decided to eat in front of the fireplace. You look so beautiful in front of the fire. All I wanted to do was pull you into my arms and pick up where we left off but I fought off my initial urges.”
“Why?” Sapphire spun around so she was looking directly at Brian’s handsome face. She wouldn’t have pushed him away. In fact, she probably craved the kiss more than he did.
“Because I thought you might not like me trying something again so soon after our kiss outside by the pond,” Brian admitted. “I don’t want to mess up what’s happening between us by moving too fast.”
“I wouldn’t have pushed you away,” Sapphire admitted, softly.
Strong masculine lips turned up into a cocky smile as Brian placed a hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her down on the thick carpet. “I’ve dreamt about kissing you ever since I first laid eyes on you coming off that elevator.”
Brian watched her closely waiting for her reaction like whatever she told him would change the connection growing between them.
“I thought about you too,” Sapphire confessed as Brian lay down next to her on the floor.
“Thank you. A man loves to hear when a good-looking woman is interested in him but his ego gets even bigger when she’s also very intelligent and extremely hot.”
Grabbing him by the front of his shirt, Sapphire tugged him closer to her until he was lying practically on top of her. “If I’m so hot why is it taking you so long to kiss me again?” Closing her eyes, Sapphire waited for the kiss that she knew would change the rest of her life.
Before his mouth touched hers, Sapphire felt his cool breath tickle the side of her cheek as Brian’s lips inched their way to hers. She licked her bottom lip in anticipation of what was about to happen.
The sound of the clock ticking seemed to get louder with each passing minute. Just as Sapphire was about to give up hope, the soft touch of Brian’s mouth teasing her made the situation about what was going to happen into a reality...a truth Sapphire was powerless to stop because it was too demanding for her to do anything else beside lay back and get lost in the ride.
Chapter Twenty-Four
Her calm was shattered by the hunger of his kiss. Brian’s tongue brushed over hers sending shivers of desire racing along the nerve endings through her entire body. Giving herself freely to the passion of the kiss, Sapphire wrapped her arms around Brian pulling him even closer.
His moist, firm mouth demanded a response and Sapphire was giving it to him. For half the night she had tried to deny herself this luxury but now she couldn’t do it any longer. This is how she wanted the night to end.
“I want you,” Sapphire whispered not caring how it might sound. All she could do was speak the truth and hope Brian got turned on from it as much as she was by his touch.
“Sapphire, you taste so perfect, so sweet and juicy like a ripe peach.”
Brian licked her mouth running his tongue along the bottom of her lip. With each slow steady stroke of his tongue, he ran his hands up and down her thighs and then spread them until he was nestled between them.
The hot feel of Brian’s thick erection grinding between her legs made Sapphire squirm with pleasure.
Lifting his head, Brian raked his gray eyes over her body as he pulled her arms above her head holding them there with one of his. “Damn, I don’t think it’s possible for you to get any more beautiful,” he said, staring at her.
Sapphire pulled at her arms trying to get free but she realized that Brian wasn’t about to let her go. So, instead of fighting him anymore she raised her head for another one of his tantalizing kisses.
Feeling her body moving under his and sensing that she craved more from him, Brian lifted her leg up wrapping it around his waist. Letting go of her wrist, his large hands circled her waist pulling her hard against him. He lowered his head recapturing her already swollen lips to take complete control of the kiss.
The more Brian made love to her mouth with his masterful tongue the more Sapphire brushed her lower body against him trying to relieve the ache there.
What was happening to her?
What was it about Brian that brought out this uninhibited side of her but she couldn’t shove away her ultimate desire which was to be with Brian. This is where she should have been weeks ago instead of battling against herself.
She felt his cock grow heavier and thicker from her movements. A low moan filled with lust flew from Sapphire’s mouth as she pressed closer not worrying about the consequences. The tips of their tongues touched trying to take over control as Brian cupped her ass in his wide palms.
“I have to touch you. I need to see if you’re soft as you felt in my dreams,” he whispered against her sensitive mouth. “Please...darling let me touch you.”
Feeling his eyes on her, Sapphire’s heavy lids opened slowly and she found Brian’s intense stare watching and waiting for her answer. This felt right. He felt right. She knew her answer was right in front of her.
“Touch me,” she begged.
Calloused fingers eased the hem of her thick cashmere sweater up her body and over her head. Brian tossed it somewhere away from the fire but Sapphire wasn’t concerned about the location. She had bigger and better things to give her attention to.
Biting her bottom lip, Sapphire anxiously waited while Brian studied her exposed body. He continued to look at her like he had never seen anyone like her before.
“What’s wrong?” she asked Brian as his eyes never left her and the silence stretched on between them.
“Nothing baby...” He laughed, softly. “I can’t help but stare. Your breasts are perfect just like the rest of your body.”
Taking his index finger, he trailed it down her cleavage before unsnapping the front of her bra. Her breasts sprung free and Brian captured them with his hands. “I could look at you all day. Touch you all day.” He played with her nipples by brushing his thumbs back and forth over them until they got harder.
Sapphire purred in the back of her throat when Brian took one of her nipples between his long fingers and gently pulled it. The sensation shot through her body sending her vagina into immediate overdrive.
“Would you want me to do that for you?” Brian moved his hand over to her other breast giving it the same attention.
/> Too lost in the gratification taking over her mind, body and soul all Sapphire could do was manage a small nod to answer Brian’s question. Right now words were beyond her reach.
“No, I need to hear the words. Tell me...Tell me you can’t wait until I’m buried deep between those smooth brown thighs of yours.” His words were spoken with such passion that Sapphire shoved the last of her apprehension out the door.
She was so tired of being so straight-laced and by the book. She came all the way out here to get away from everything and everyone holding her back at home. New Year’s Eve was her favorite holiday and her celebration was going to start a few days early.
“I can’t wait until you make love to me. I know this is beyond fast and usually I’m more cautious than this, but I can’t fight the need to be with you. I simply can’t.”
“You won’t have to fight it any longer.” Getting up off the floor, Brian bent back down sweeping her up into his arms. “Your bedroom or mine,” he asked.
“Mine is closer,” Sapphire answered.
Neither one of them said much during the short trip from the living room upstairs to Sapphire’s bedroom. She couldn’t believe tonight would finally be her night with Brian. No more waking up in bed alone covered in sweat and breathing hard from another unfulfilled dream.
For weeks now, Sapphire had wondered how she could get closer to Brian. However, she never thought Shauntie would be the one who pushed her towards her own personal sexy hunk for Emerald’s challenge.
Walking through the open bedroom door, Brian quickly covered the distance to her bed and gently laid her down in the middle of the mattress. Sapphire couldn’t tear her eyes away from Brian. He looked so good with the moonlight pouring in through the open window. The moon never shone this bright in the city.
Sapphire didn’t have time to think about anything else before Brian grabbed her left foot removing her boot and less than a minute later her second boot joined the first.
“Do you care if I undress you?” His deep voice sent tiny shivers along her skin.
“No, I would love for you to take my clothes off,” Sapphire confessed, leaning back on her elbows. Brian was oblivious at how much she was up for practically anything tonight.
Chapter Twenty-Five
Starting from the bottom of her feet, Brian removed Sapphire’s clothing piece by piece until her beautiful, smooth warm body was completely bare for him to see. He wondered if she knew how badly he was holding back from taking her.
Ever since he’d kissed her in front of the fireplace all he saw were the two of them sweaty and naked making love for the rest of the night.
Why was Sapphire bothering him so much? He’d been with women before who were just as good-looking as her, but he couldn’t fight the inner need to be with her no matter what.
He knew that he had moved fast with Sapphire. Faster than any woman he had been with since he turned seventeen years old and lost in virginity on New Year’s Eve to a girl that lived two houses down from him, but Brian had formed a connection with Sapphire way before he ended up here with her.
It truly began the day he saw her on his mail route and continued to grow each and every time he laid eyes on her. All during dinner he tried to be good by not tossing her down on the thick carpet and seducing her. Brian was proud he had lasted this long.
“Are you going to stand there and look at me all night?” Sapphire questioned. “I think it’s a little unfair that you’re still completely clothed. Don’t you think I want to see you too?”
Sitting up on the bed, Sapphire hooked her finger in the loop of his jeans tugging him closer to the end of the bed. Brian loved how comfortable Sapphire was with her nudity. Her confidence was turning him on even more. She was full of surprises and he was dying to learn more about them.
“Do you need me to undress you?” Her small hands reached up towards the top button on his shirt but his hand shot out stopping her.
Wide-eyed with shock, Sapphire glanced at his hand wrapped around her wrist.
The thought of Sapphire’s fingers undressing him made his cock harder than granite, so he couldn’t let it happen.
Not tonight anyway.
He had to stay in control or this would be over way faster than he wanted it to be. All of the weeks; he envisioned being with his sexy doctor wasn’t going to end in under five minutes.
No, Brian had very special plans for Sapphire along with her killer body; plans that didn’t involve him coming inside of his jeans like some adolescent high school boy who’d never been with a woman before.
“Sapphire, the idea of you undressing me makes me unbelievably hard; however, I wouldn’t be able to love you the way I want. But I promise you I’ll let you undress me another time.”
Impatiently, Brian stood there waiting while big brown eyes watched him looking for what he wasn’t quite sure but she eased her hand away from his. The movement put a scare inside of him. What if Sapphire was going to reject him altogether? She might be getting ready to tell him to get the hell out of her bedroom.
“Mr. Terry, I’m going to cash in your promise later. You can bet on it.” Easing back from him, Sapphire lowered her body back on the bed and waited for him.
Brian sent up a silent prayer of thanks at Sapphire’s acceptance of him. Taking a step back from the tempting sight of his woman, Brian suddenly paused at the thought that Sapphire was really going to be his tonight. Letting her go after they made love wasn’t an option in his mind, she was going to become a permanent part of his life.
He would thrive on the challenge of the accomplishments it would take to conquer Sapphire so they could be together after this. Besides putting his own money towards his new business, winning Sapphire’s unconditional love would be his second biggest risk in a week. He liked living on the edge like this. It was bringing a new excitement to his life.
Tonight, Brian had to prove to Sapphire that no other man would be able to give her what he could in and out of bed. Unbuttoning his dress shirt, he let it drop down on the floor. He kicked off his shoes and then went to work on unzipping his pants. He pushed them down his legs along with his boxers.
Brian stood proud and naked in front of Sapphire allowing her to get a good look at him. He needed with everything in him to show her how much she affected his body.
Chapter Twenty-Six
Good God in Heaven!
Sapphire’s mouth went dry at her first glance at Brian’s naked form. If she thought he looked good fully clothed in his mailman uniform, his body was absolutely perfect with nothing on it. Sapphire tried her best not to ogle him, but how could she not with Brian standing in front of her in all of his glory?
He could have been a paid male model for an art class at some local college. There wasn’t an ounce of fat on his tall, well-developed frame. His six pack abs looked like they’d been painted on, but Sapphire knew abs like Brian’s only came from hours working out at the gym.
Now, when he found the time to go, she didn’t know, but she was thrilled Brian gave her the privilege of seeing them. No body hair covered him except for the V line of hair that ran from below his navel down to his long, thick length of his beautifully made cock.
Desire hit Sapphire full force and almost knocked her off the bed. It curled up in her stomach shooting straight down into her vagina. Running her tongue across her top lip, Sapphire could almost taste how good it would be when Brian finally stopped taunting her by just standing there.
Was he waiting for her to make the first move? Sapphire wasn’t shy about doing it. Something had to be done and soon because the two of them just staring at each other wasn’t working.
“Baby, are you ready?” Brian asked in the rich voice she was beginning to love the more she heard it. He kept coming towards her until he was standing directly at the side of the bed.
“Oh, I’m ready for you,” she confessed as Brian grabbed her by the ankle spreading her legs apart. He eased his big body between her legs.
&nb
sp; Lowering his head, Brian ran his thick tongue along the part where her shoulder and neck connected. Moaning softly Sapphire closed her eyes getting lost in the warmth of Brian’s chest brushing across her nipples.
Damn, it had been such a long time...she forgot how good a man’s body could feel being like this with hers. Work had taken over such a huge part of her time.
“Is this better than your daydreams?” Brian’s warm breath blew across the wetness on her skin left there by his tongue. She squirmed around on the mattress trying to get him to do what she needed.
Now wasn’t the time for words but action.
“Are you going to answer me?”
Hungry kisses trailed their way down her body until firm masculine lips ended up by her hard nipple. Brian’s tongue flickered out licking the tip before sucking it completely into his mouth.
“Oh my God!” Fisting the thick comforter in her hands, Sapphire arched her spine off the bed pushing her nipple into the hot, warm cavern of his mouth.
Sapphire’s eyes popped open when his large hands spread her legs even wider. His finger gently skimmed over her belly, past the damp curls of her mound until he stopped at her vagina.
Using his knuckles, he brushed them back and forth over her wetness until Sapphire was positive she would lose her mind from the bliss Brian’s touch was causing inside of her body. A spark shot from between her legs like a bolt of electricity.
Sapphire knew she was soaking Brian’s fingers. She honestly didn’t know how much more she could take of this teasing. His single touch had her craving more and more. She would beg Brian if it came down to it. She wasn’t ashamed to tell Brian to give it to her.
“Please, stop teasing me. Give me what I want,” she whimpered as she held on to what little control she had left. She was tired of the torturous game Brian decided on playing with her body. Didn’t he already know that she wasn’t about to deny him? The evidence of her need covered his hand.
