Blinding Mirror

by Shelley Halima

  Sofia merely smiled in response. He began his descent down her body and gingerly removed her panties. With one hand he parted her vaginal lips and with her clitoris exposed, began gently stroking it with the index finger of his other hand. He glanced at Sofia. Her head was turned slightly to the side and she was nibbling on her bottom lip. He was so aroused by her. He stopped touching her long enough to quickly take off his briefs. He moved up until his face was close to hers. He nibbled and tongued her earlobe as his hand went back to stroking her clitoris. His hardness rubbing against her thigh turned her on. She reached and took it in her hand. She was excited yet slightly frightened by the size of it. She’d never been with a man as large as he was. Her thumb slid across the wet tip of it.

  “Turn over,” he softly commanded.

  Sofia did as he asked. He stroked her generous bottom.

  “God, I love this ass,” he whispered. He moved down and planted soft kisses all over it. He then got on top of her and ground slowly on her backside. He bent down to her ear.

  “You ready, baby?”

  “Yes.”

  He reached over and retrieved a condom he placed on top of one of the pillows. As he rose up on his knees to put it on, Sofia turned over and maneuvered her legs until they were on either side of him. Javier made a mental note that he would indulge in more foreplay the next time. He hadn’t been with anyone in three months and was eager to make love. No more than a couple of minutes after he entered her, he let out a loud groan as he had an orgasm. Sofia was disheartened but tried her best not to show it.

  “I’m sorry, Sofia,” Javier panted. “It’s been a while and I got too excited.”

  “That’s okay.”

  Javier cursed himself. I knew I should’ve let her jack me off first. Damn it! I feel like a high school kid getting his first lay.

  Sofia grabbed handfuls of the sheets and was on the verge of tears. She felt such sexual rapture to the point she almost couldn’t stand it. Javier was more than making up for the first time out. He had her legs flung over his shoulders and he was balancing himself on his hands as he thrust passionately inside her. A short time later he pulled out and Sofia whimpered in protest. Javier rolled off of her and onto his back. He slid an arm under her waist.

  “Come here, baby.” He guided her to lie on top of him. “Straddle me.”

  Sofia did as he said.

  “Now turn and face away from me.”

  “Away from you?” Sofia asked, not sure she’d heard correctly.

  “Yes.”

  Again, she did as he requested. She rose up so that she could guide him inside her. It was her first time on top and she quickly began to enjoy it. And Javier enjoyed the view of her voluptuous bottom as it bounced up and down and gyrated. His hands roamed across it and he worked to maintain control. He spread her cheeks so that he could better see her sex. Soon he put his hands on Sofia’s hips to stop her movements as a signal that he needed to cool down. When he was ready he began moving again and so did Sofia. She threw her head back as she relished the feeling of Javier hitting a spot inside her that had never been hit before. She’d heard all about the so-called G-Spot and chalked it up as some erotic myth until now. She was certain that it is what caused her such pleasure. She reached down and fingered her clitoris. A few minutes later she cried out as she reached her peak. It took a minute for her to gather her senses. Then she realized how wet she was, so wet for a second she wondered if she’d had an accident but knew she hadn’t. Javier gently pulled her back toward him and they switched positions with him on top of her again. He got between her legs and she wrapped them around his waist. She grabbed him by the back of the head and they shared a steamy kiss. When he came again his moans filled her mouth. He collapsed on top of her and she stroked his perspiration soaked back. They held each other, both exhausted from their lovemaking.

  Chapter 57

  Sofia entered the spa a minute after Grace. Grace turned around and the look on Sofia’s face spoke volumes.

  “You bad girl!” Grace chastised her in jest. She went over to the smiling Sofia and they exchanged double high fives and squealed with laughter. “After two dates? This is a Sofia Valente record! Especially considering you made your last boyfriend wait almost eight months!”

  “Grace I can’t believe it. It’s as if I just finished watching a movie and someone was playing me. You would not have recognized the wild woman I was last night. I’m talking unleashed!”

  “Tell, tell.”

  “Being with Javier last night showed me what I have been missing. With James it was pleasant, you know? Not great but I enjoyed the actual closeness of the act more than the act itself. It was the same way with Ben. Neither of them brought me to orgasm.”

  “But Mr. Torres did, nuh?”

  “Did he ever. Even if things don’t work out with us for some reason, I never want to be with another man who can’t make me feel the way Javier did last night. That kind of passion—I don’t know what to say. I feel sorry for any woman who has never felt that. Grace, right now every nerve in my body is alive. Still.” She stopped and shook her head. “I have all these thoughts and things I want to say and can’t find the words.”

  “Boy, he really put it on you.”

  “And how. After I left his house on Saturday, I had it in my head how I wanted there to be this long romantic buildup before ‘it’ happened. Yet at the same time I knew that wasn’t going to be the case. The chemistry between us is too electric.”

  At that moment Joanne and Zahira entered the spa and they all exchanged greetings. Sofia and Grace went to their office to continue the conversation.

  “After work we’re all meeting up over at Javier’s place. You can follow me over there. His friend Lorenzo will be joining us.

  “Gee, thanks for the notice. I hope his friend is half as hot as Javier and hopefully this Lorenzo has torn some pages out of Javier’s lovemaking notebook.”

  “Gracie! Now look at who’s being bad.” Sofia leaned over and lightly pinched her friend’s arm.

  “Look woman, I have needs that haven’t been met in a while. And quite frankly, you’re stoking my competitive streak. I can’t have you going around having all this fabulous sex and I go home to ride the silver bullet.”

  Sofia covered her mouth to suppress her laughter.

  “I’m not playing. I’m even tempted to call up Tyler. Although I’m sure he doesn’t have the same number.”

  “Um-hmm. And here you were trying to pretend your head wasn’t the least bit turned by him stopping in the spa. It’s strange that you still even have his number.”

  Grace made a face at her and arranged some paperwork on her desk.

  “Graaace,” Sofia said in a singsong manner.

  “Yeees,” Grace responded in a like tone.

  “Guess what?”

  “What?”

  “I am considering doing that thing to Javier that I’ve never done to any other man.”

  Grace slowly looked up from her paperwork and over to Sofia, her mouth open.

  “You mean that thing you were going to save for marriage?”

  With a sly grin and a wiggle in her brow, Sofia nodded.

  Grace laughed and slammed the desk with her palms.

  “Kiss me neck! Who are you? And what have you done with my friend? Whatever that man has it needs to be bottled and sold out at the front counter! You vowed you’d never do that unless it was with your husband and he’s got you to change your mind over the course of a weekend.”

  “That was years ago since I last said that. Gosh. Can’t a girl change her mind?”

  Grace grabbed her bottle of water, opened it and took a long swig.

  “You are too much for me today.”

  “All right, enough about my exploits. Let’s concentrate on you. I really hope things click with you and Lorenzo tonight.”

  “Me too. I need some clicking other than the button on my silver bullet.”

  Sofia let out a hoot. “Sto
p! Am I going to have do an intervention for you and that thing?”

  “A man with what yours has is all the intervention I need, my dear. I’m very anxious to meet Lorenzo.”

  Chapter 58

  Sofia waited next to her car for Grace who was following not too far behind her. Grace pulled her car into the driveway and together they walked up to Javier’s door. Before Sofia rang the bell, Grace faced her.

  “Quick check. Makeup?”

  “Flawless. Oh, wait a minute.” Sofia reached in her purse and retrieved a tissue. She delicately wiped an eyeliner smudge on the outside corner of Grace’s right eye.

  Grace smiled wide to show her teeth.

  “Nope. No lipstick on the teeth,” Sofia informed her. “Now what about me?”

  “Makeup is fine. Smile. Okay, no lipstick on yours either. Hair?”

  “Good. Mine?”

  “Good. All right, we’re ready.”

  They gave each other the thumbs up sign and Sofia rang the bell. A moment later, Javier opened the door.

  “Hello ladies.” He stepped aside so they could enter. Grace went first and when Sofia walked in he grabbed and gave her quick kiss.

  As they walked into the living area Grace saw the back of a man who was ending a call on his cell phone. All she could tell was he had a full head of almost bluish black hair curly hair that fell just below his neck. He laid his phone on the table, stood and turned to them. Grace gave him a huge grin as she tried her best to hide her disappointment. He was definitely no Javier. His complexion was an olive tone like Javier’s but that’s where the comparisons ended. He had large eyes, nose that was on the thick side and slightly thin lips. He wasn’t exactly ugly but not very attractive either. He was very thin and when Grace went up to him to shake his hand she realized he was a good three inches shorter than she.

  “Hello, I’m Grace.”

  “It’s nice to meet you. I’m Lorenzo.”

  Grace saw that he had a great smile. He waved for her to sit down and he sat next to her. Javier and Sofia sat on the couch directly opposite of them.

  “Lorenzo this is Sofia, the woman I’ve been raving about.”

  “It’s nice to meet you, Sofia. This guy hasn’t stopped talking about you.”

  Sofia grinned at Javier. He gave her a light kiss on the lips.

  “It’s nice to meet you, too, Lorenzo. Javier has told me wonderful things about you.”

  “I want to thank you for bringing over your friend,” Lorenzo said as he looked over at Grace. “She’s a beautiful sight for some very sore eyes. Some sore and tired eyes at that.”

  “Oh, thank you,” replied Grace. “You do look kind of tired.”

  “I am. I just finished working on one particular project that was very complex and time consuming. I’m glad it’s over.”

  “Javier said you’re a graphic design artist.”

  “Yes. And not that I’m trying to scrounge up new business from you, but when Javier told me the name of your spa I looked it up online and saw you only have a one page website with a basic description. I think the more descriptive your site is, the more it will interest new customers. If you and Sofia would like, I can build it up for you. For instance, I could take some interior shots of the spa and add it to your website. I can even do a virtual tour if you’d like.”

  Grace looked over at Sofia.

  “Uh-oh. Did I say something wrong?” asked Lorenzo.

  “No, not at all. It’s just funny because a few ago I was telling Sofia that our website was kind of bland and it needed an overhaul. That would be great if you could jazz it up.”

  “Just let me know a good day to come by and take some photos and we’ll get started.”

  “Sounds good to me. Thank you.”

  Javier leaned in to Sofia and whispered, “Let’s give them some time alone.” Sofia nodded in agreement.

  “Hey, uh, me and Sofia are headed to kitchen to get things ready. We’ll be right back.”

  After Sofia and Javier left the room Lorenzo chuckled.

  “What’s so funny?” asked Grace.

  “They think they’re slick. What could they possibly be getting ready in the kitchen when Javier said we’re going to order in?”

  As Sofia was going toward the sink, Javier guided her past it, to the laundry room adjoining it. He closed the folding door behind them. He grabbed Sofia into a passionate embrace.

  “I’ve been thinking about you every since I dropped you off this morning. You really put it on me.”

  Sofia smiled as she thought about how that was the same thing Grace said he did to her.

  “That sentiment is without a doubt mutual.”

  She put her hand on the back of his head drew it to her and they kissed with wild abandon. Their hands roamed furiously over each other. Javier lifted her up on the washing machine and unbuttoned her blouse.

  “Javier, you want to—here?”

  “Yes, here.” He kissed the top portion of her breasts and rubbed his fingers over her nipples through the fabric of her bra.

  Sofia grabbed the bottom of her skirt, pulled it over her thighs and wiggled from side to side to maneuver it over her hips. Javier’s hands traveled up her thighs and she again moved her hips so that he could remove her panties. He retrieved a condom from the back pocket of his slacks before sliding them along with his underwear down. He ripped open the condom packet with his teeth, tossed the wrapper in a nearby receptacle and put the condom on. Sofia moved closer to the edge of the washing machine and guided him inside her.

  Grace bent over in a fit of laughter.

  “You’ve got to be kidding me!”

  “No, I’m not! It really happened!”

  “Let me get this straight. An eighty-year-old grandmother of twelve had you put together a website of her in various nude shots. And she named the site--”

  “Granny Gone Wild.”

  “Lorenzo, you are making this up!”

  “You can’t make that kind of stuff up. I did it though as well as a hundred Hail Mary’s right afterward. You know what’s crazy? Her site meter showed over twenty-five thousand hits within a couple of weeks. I don’t know if there are people actually into seeing elderly women in the nude or it’s due to some sick fascination people had with it. I put my money on sick fascination.”

  The last song playing on the stereo system ended. In the quiet a moan could be heard coming from around the kitchen area. There was the steady banging sound like a table being rocked back and forth on the floor. Then came another moan followed by a whimper. Grace and Lorenzo exchanged sheepish grins.

  Lorenzo cleared his throat. “And here I was thinking they left out of the room so we could be alone.”

  “Um-hmm. So, I hear you have a daughter.”

  “Sure do. Skye, she’s my pride and joy.” He paused as the banging noise increased. He looked down at the carpet, trying to conceal his mirth before continuing. “She will enter kindergarten this year and she’s so excited she had me buy some school clothes already. Hopefully she won’t have some growth spurt over the summer. She has her little calendar counting down until August fourteenth.”

  “Aw, how precious. Do you have a picture of her?”

  “Of course.” He reached into his back pocket pulling out his wallet and pulled out of photo and handed it to Grace.

  “What a cutie pie she is! Look at that head full of curls. She is adorable.”

  “Thanks. I know most parents think their kid is smartest but she truly is quick as a whip. She can already do little things on the computer.” He stopped talking and began to laugh at the noises. Grace joined him.

  “This would be a crack up situation on its own but if you knew Sofia the way I did, you’d really find it even more hilarious. This is so unlike her. I’m going to tease her about this until we’re little old ladies.”

  Lorenzo said nothing. He was taking in Grace’s beauty. She was exquisite. Her bone structure, skin tone, long and lean body, the full mouth...He knew he wa
nted to see her again but although she was certainly friendly he didn’t get the feeling she was very interested in him the way he was in her. At that moment he made up his mind that he would somehow win her over. He wouldn’t force the romantic angle but the friendship one.

  “I love your accent. Jamaican, right?” Lorenzo asked.

  “Yes. My family moved here to Georgia when I was just to begin high school. That was a heck of a transition. Entering high school was traumatic enough, it didn’t help that I was also moving to a place where I knew no one. And though you may like my accent it made me stand out even more. But soon after that Sofia and I met and she helped me out a lot by taking me under her wing. She was very popular and that helped a lot as far as other kids accepting me. What about you? Where are you from?”

  He tilted his head as if he were listening to something. “I guess they’re done.”

  Grace let out a giggle. “I noticed that, too.”

  “Anyway, I was born in the Dominican Republic in Santo Domingo. When I was around my daughter’s age my family moved to Puerto Rico. Soon after that we ended up in Florida. My parents are still down there in Clearwater. I moved here a few years ago to be with my daughter’s mother. But that didn’t work out and I ended up staying because it would be easier to share custody of Skye.”

  “I respect that so much.” She smiled at seeing him blush. She liked his personality a lot.

  At that moment, Sofia and Javier entered the room holding hands. They both were flushed and Sofia’s blouse was buttoned wrong. The looks on the faces of Grace and Lorenzo let them know they were well aware of what they’d been doing.

  “Is dinner ready?” teased Lorenzo. “Oh that’s right we’re ordering in. What was it again you two had to do in the kitchen?”

  They all broke into laughter.

  “Let me get the phonebook,” said Javier.

  “So what did you think about Lorenzo?” Sofia asked as she walked Grace to her car.

  “He seems nice.”
