Just hearing his voice made her nipples harden.
“Yes, I’m fine.” She hugged herself.
“Open the door and let me see for myself.”
She took a deep breath before opening the door.
“See, I’m fine.” She started to move out of the bathroom but he stopped her.
“Move out of the way, Tahj” she whispered.
He didn’t reply. He just pulled her closer. He reached up and caressed a lock of her curly brown hair.
“Why did you cut it?”
“I thought I needed a change.”
“You’re still beautiful.”
“Tahj-“
Her words were cut off as his mouth swooped down on hers in a fiery kiss of denied passion. She struggled against him until his tongue entered her mouth. She felt a burst of impetuous passion flow through her. Tahj put his hands in her curly tresses and deepened the hungry kiss. She kissed him back with the same amount of raw hunger. It was Tahj who broke away.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean…” He didn’t finish. He turned and walked out of the bathroom leaving Daesha dazed and confused.
Daesha let out a shaky sigh as she touched her lips. Luckily she had not worn any lipstick. She splashed cold water on her face. After drying her face, she went back downstairs.
Her mother looked up with worry in her eyes.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine, mom. It must be jet lag.” She looked at Tahj who was whispering in his wife’s ear.
“Why don’t you go on over to the house and rest up? You can take my car. I know all of you must be tired.”
“Before we go, I’d like to talk to you alone in your office please.” Daesha stated to her mother.
“Sure sweetheart.” Amaia excused herself and got up from the table to follow Daesha to the office.
“What’s wrong?” Amaia asked once the door was closed.
“Devontae and Emon will be leaving Sunday but I will be staying a week. I haven’t been home for a lengthy visit in five years. I think its long overdue.”
“I’m glad you’re going to stay. Do you think you can handle the situation with Tahj?”
“It’s time for me to grow up, mom. I’m going to have to face the situation sooner or later. It might as well be now.”
“If that’s how you feel, I’m glad you’re staying a week.”
“Good. I’ll let you tell Aahsod later.”
“I like your hair.” Amaia stated with a smile
“I was beginning to wonder if you noticed.”
“I noticed more than the haircut. I noticed the message behind it. You are trying to cut some of the ties of your past with Tahj. You feel that by cutting your hair shows him that you have grown up and started something new with Devontae.”
“You’ve always been able to understand me thoroughly.”
“We’d better go back before they begin to wonder if something is wrong,” Amaia said smiling.
Daesha smiled and hugged her mother before they departed.
When they arrived at the house, Daesha and her mother use to live in, Daesha showed them both to their rooms. She was in her room unpacking when Devontae entered and closed the door behind him. He went up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
“I love you.”
“The same goes for me.” She leaned back against his chest.
He pulled her hair back with his chin and nibbled on her neck. She let out a soft sigh. He turned her to face him and captured her mouth in a soft passionate kiss. She twined her arms around his neck and gave in to the kiss. She pulled away when he caressed her breasts.
“What’s wrong?”
“We aren’t alone. Emon is right down the hall. I don’t feel comfortable doing anything more than kissing with her in the house.”
“It was just a little petting but I understand. I’ll go on back to my room and see you in the morning.” He kissed the top of her head before leaving the room.
Daesha couldn’t sleep. She decided to go outside to the patio. She was lying beside the pool when she heard someone step out on the patio. She turned to see Tahj walking towards her.
“What are you doing here?” she asked wrapping her robe more securely around her.
“I needed to see you.”
“You shouldn’t be here,” she said when he stood over her.
He sat down on the nearby lounge chair. “I just couldn’t sleep without seeing you again tonight. Sorry for dropping in uninvited but I couldn’t stay away nor could I fight these deep feelings a if it isn’t over between us.”
“You should be at home with your wife and daughter.”
“I’ve missed you.” He ignored her statement.
“I won’t get into this type of conversation with you” She stood up to leave.
Tahj stood up as well and pulled her close to his body. She was only wearing bikini panties beneath her short robe. He reached up and touched her puckered nipples through the robe. His heated touch made her gasp. He removed her robe and pushed her back against the cold brick of the pool house.
“Damn, I want you so bad.” His voice was thick with passion.
She started to reply but his mouth covered hers to prevent an unwanted answer. His hungry, greedy kiss made her lose all sane and rational thoughts.
“Let me love you.” It was more of a command than an inquiry. He dropped down and suckled on a pert nipple, which sent a path of hot fiery passion ripping through her body.
“Yes.” It was a hoarse whisper.
She helped him undress. She started to lie down on the lounge chair but Tahj stopped her. He was shaking his head and giving her a sexy yet wicked smile. He led her inside the room off the patio that held the huge Jacuzzi and steam room. He turned on the steam. As the room filled with steam, he sat down on the padded bench. Daesha smiled wickedly as she looked at his aroused nine inches of thickness. Daesha straddle his powerful thighs. She felt the pressure of his thick aroused flesh against her sensitive bud of desire. He grabbed her hips and pulled her on him to enter her with one powerful thrust. Although she was slick with desire, she gasped and took him with some difficulty. She began to move on him as soon as her body got accustomed to his size. Her movements were bringing a deep groan from him. He moved with her going deeper inside of her until he filled her completely. Neither knew where the other began or ended. Daesha threw her head back from ecstasy. This movement caused her breasts to jut out. Tahj took the tight bud into his mouth. His suckling made her move on him faster. Finally, he convulsed and exploded inside of her. He caressed her back and smoothed the wet tresses from her face.
“I love you.” Tahj declared.
