“I’ll be seeing you, Andy. Take care.” He mumbled, before putting his hands down on the table. Jimmy rose from his seat. Seconds later, he was outside. He couldn’t wait to see Anna again, but they had not arranged a date. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and called her.
“Hey, handsome. I was wondering when you’d call me.”
“Hi. I need to see you.”
“Sounds urgent.”
“I just… missed you.”
“I’ve missed you, too.”
“Where do you want to go?”
“Have you ever been to the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden?”
“A garden? I’m not a florist, Anna.” Her loud laughter filled his ears.
“You don’t have to be.” She chuckled. “Just come pick me up at seven.”
“Ok. Later.”
“Bye.”
Chapter Ten
The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden that Anna was referring to was actually one of the most romantic places in the city of Dallas. Nestled along the shores of White Rock Lake, it featured endless seasonal flowers, ornamental shrubs, as well as exotic plants and was one of the most visited botanical gardens in the country.
They had to endure the traffic jam and even though Anna’s spirits were not dampened, Jimmy got really upset. Forty-five minutes after seven, the wait was over, as the sun set in the sky.
Anna was ecstatic, as she laid her eyes on the kaleidoscope of color. Crimson red Azaleas, purple orchids, lilies, numerous carnations, roses… The Garden was full of fragrances and beauty and it smelled wonderful, with all of the flower scents that were mixed. Anna kept smelling one flower after another, acting like a child with a new toy. And, she had been given hundreds of them that afternoon. In fact, she was so excited that she hardly spoke to Jimmy for more than fifteen minutes. On the other hand, he did not share her enthusiasm. Yes, they looked fantastic, but flowers are a girly thing.
“Anna, do you like Harleys?” He inquired, as she sniffed a pinkish Camellia.
“Yeah. Why are you asking?” She got curious.
“Imagine going to a motorcycle show. I would ask everything about the models. Price, top speed, horsepower, torque, range, handling, comfort. Those things are very important, but I’m sure they’d bore you to death.” Jimmy said.
“I’m boring you?” Anna sounded worried.
“Relax. You’re not. Just talk to me, ok? You’ve been here before, right?” Jimmy asked.
“Yeah, lots of times. I’m sorry, I just really love flowers.” She admitted.
“It’s cool.” He smiled. “I talked to Andy today. He said he’d try to quit gambling.”
“I’ve heard that before, Jimmy.” Anna grumbled. “What makes you think he’s going to change?”
“I don’t think he’s going to.” She frowned, upon hearing his conclusion. “But he loves you and I think he’ll try harder this time. I talked to him about us, too. I didn’t tell him about last night, but he got the picture.”
“Well, I wanted to be the one to talk to him about us, but thanks. I’m…” Anna faltered. “Relieved, sort of.”
“You were right.” Jimmy said with a nod, staring at the blooming Azaleas. “I didn’t have to be a florist to come here. It’s beautiful.”
“See?” She chirped. “I told you you’d like it.”
“Are you always so friendly with people you’ve just met?” Jimmy inquire, returning his gaze to her.
“No, Mr. Holden. I just feel like I’ve known you for a long time.” Her quick response surprised him, but also flattered him.
“Andy told you the truth about me. When I first saw you, I just wanted to walk up to you and ask you out.” Jimmy confessed. “And I don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. I’m pretty rough around the edges, if you know what I mean.”
“I’m happy to say that the Jimmy Holden I met is nothing like that.” Anna said with a grin. “He’s a little macho, but just the perfect amount.”
Jimmy drew in a deep breath, as the thought of coming clean with her haunted his mind. However, before he could do so, he had another confession to make.
“Those two have something in common.” His sadness sent his voice down an octave.
“What, great looks?” Anna’s smile grew wider.
“I’ve never been in love, Anna.” Jimmy muttered. “It’s pretty pathetic if you think about it, but it’s true.”
“What?!” She exclaimed, opening her eyes wide in disbelief. “Never?”
“Not once.” He shook his head sideways. “A few years ago, I asked a friend of mine how it felt. He said something like ‘it’s a wonderful feeling’, but he couldn’t describe it so well.”
“It’s more than just ‘wonderful’.” Anna spoke her mind. “You want to be with your partner all of the time. I could go on for hours about that feeling.”
“I take it you’ve been in love then.” Jimmy spoke with a faint voice.
“Twice. With my high school sweetheart and Ben. That’s before he started acting like a jerk.” Anna sighed. “We’re going to change that. I’m going to change that.” She claimed, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
“You sound pretty confident.” He commented.
“If I wasn’t confident, my brother would be in jail or dead by now.” She laughed. “I really like you, Jimmy Holden.”
“I like you too, Anna.” He whispered, pulling her near. They were surrounded by dozens of outsiders and even families with young children, but Jimmy felt the uncontrollable urge to kiss her and he would not let this opportunity pass him by. He closed his eyes, as she leaned towards him. Her warm lips on his mouth sent his pulse rising. Anna put her hand on the back of his neck, as they got lost in a soft, gentle kiss. Once again, her featherlike touch made him feel on top of the world. Jimmy didn’t know if Anna could do what she had just said, but something was changing inside him, fast.
“Now what, you crazy little thing?” He whispered.
“My place.” She replied, her voice soft. “I can’t stop thinking about the moment I saw you looking up in the sky, you know that?”
“Is that why you want to go there? You want to see me on that porch of yours again?” Jimmy smiled.
“That, too.” Anna laughed. “Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
Chapter Eleven
Jimmy was glad that the drive back to Highland Park was short. The traffic was thin at the time and it only took them fifteen minutes to go back to Anna’s house. He decided to act innocent and not lay a hand on her, even after they stepped inside, curious to see whether Anna had any more moves or not. To his disappointment though, she did not touch him either.
“I need to take a shower.” She said, looking up at him over her right shoulder. “Feel free to gaze at the stars while I’m gone.”
Jimmy smiled to himself, watching her walk away from him. Anna’s suggestion sounded interesting, even though he would be all alone.
“Yeah, I’m doing what you said, darling. But if it takes you more than fifteen minutes to get out of that shower, guess what: I’m going to join you in there. That bathtub looks very comfortable. It’s big enough to fit us both and I can’t wait to touch you. You’ve told me everything about your past. I appreciate that. But I don’t know if I should tell you about mine. It may destroy the only good thing that’s happened to me in years. Nah, who am I kidding? It will definitely ruin everything. You’ll run and you’ll be right to do so. Who wants to date a criminal like me? But you’ve been so good to me that I’m seriously thinking about coming clean with you. If someone deserves to know the truth, it’s you.”
Staring at the starry sky and lost in his thoughts, Jimmy didn’t hear the sound of Anna’s bathroom door. A few minutes later, something else drew his attention; music. Or, funny music, as he used to call it. He could still recall his reaction, the first time that someone had played him “Principles of Lust”, a very sensual song by the famous band “Enigma”. Jimmy had laughed very hard indeed.
He could hardly understand what was being said and mocked it. This time though, things were very different. Enigma’s music sounded more like the sound of a Siren, trying to seduce his senses. Intrigued, Jimmy soon left the porch. The music was coming from Anna’s bedroom, on the left of her living room. Jimmy stopped under the doorframe. Her room was quite dark. There was a single candle on her nightstand. She was in the right corner of her room, next to her small stereo, but it was her outfit that really blew his mind: Anna wore black garters and stockings, no panties and no bra, either.
“Sorry I kept you waiting.” She said, turning down the volume on her stereo. “These feel so good on my body. They’re really soft.” Anna continued, slowly walking towards him. But she didn’t go to Jimmy. As soon as she reached the foot of her bed, she stopped. With her hands on her waist, she did a 360-degree turn. Jimmy’s jaw had already dropped, long before her last move. He scanned her body from bottom to top, as the music he used to once laugh at filled his ears.
“Do you like them?” Anna asked, her voice husky, her eyes filled with lust, raising her right leg, putting her foot on the bed.
“Yes.” Jimmy said in his deep baritone, swallowing hard.
“Come closer.” She urged, sending his adrenaline into the ozone layer. For the first time in his life, Jimmy’s knees were shaking. He wanted to keep staring at her sexy figure, but he preferred to maintain eye contact with Anna. She smelled wonderful. In fact, her whole room smelled of lavender and rose oil. Two steps brought him less than a foot away from her. Jimmy reached out his left arm. His palm landed on her knee. Indeed, her stockings felt very soft. Jimmy’s heart was beating so loudly that he could hear it. He shut his eyes, enjoying the sensation. Anna grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him closer. She yanked off his shirt, ripping off every button in her impatience.
“Sexy.” He whispered. “But I got a better idea.” Jimmy removed his hand from her knee. He placed it on her chest. With a gentle push to the left, Anna’s body fell onto the bed. Jimmy unzipped his pants and got rid of them in a hurry. He hooked his thumbs into both sides of his boxer shorts and took them off as well.
“Come on then, Jimmy.” Anna whispered, curling her index finger. “Show me.” Of course, Jimmy needed no encouragement, but he loved the words that were coming out of her mouth. He climbed into bed and lay on top of her. Anna tried to kiss him, but he was quick to put his fingers on her mouth.
“Tonight, I’m going to touch you like no man has ever touched you before.” He whispered, putting a sexy smile on her face.
“Don’t keep me waiting.” She replied, entwining her arms around his neck. Their fiery kiss sent shivers down his spine. His tongue slid inside her mouth and glided against hers, as his hands began to explore her body. Stroking her arms, he felt his stiff cock on the smooth flesh of her stomach. Their kiss grew more passionate, as Anna caressed his upper back. Tingling at her featherlike touch, he used his hands to stroke and squeeze her thighs. Anna raised her legs in the air, before tying them around his waist. Jimmy could sense her nipples hardening underneath him, as his caresses and his kiss became more demanding.
“I love your body, baby.” He whispered in her mouth. Anna sighed with pleasure, tilting her head back, ending their kiss. With her hands on his shoulders, she pushed him down, encouraging him to worship her breasts. But Jimmy did not want to stop there this time. The mere thought of licking her pussy sent blood pumping through his veins. Still, he couldn’t resist the temptation of touching her big, supple breasts. Anna’s nipples were beckoning to be touched; a sensual worship would arouse her even more. Therefore, Jimmy cupped her breasts and pushed them upward at first and then downward, as his tongue rolled around her right nipple. Anna grazed her fingers along his back, feeling his muscles flex as he ground against her. Jimmy traced his own fingers over the outer edges of her breasts. Then, he ran his thumbs lightly under the space where they fell, using just his fingertips to caress her, breathing warm air over her nipples. Jimmy laid short, gentle kisses on her entire breast, ignoring her nipple. Anna’s long sighs were a clear sign that she was enjoying this. Jimmy sensed the moisture on the head of his big, throbbing cock. Precum was already dripping down the shaft. With his hands massaging her erogenous zone, Jimmy took her nipple in his mouth, feeling her body quiver at his touch.
“Do you like that?” He asked, his voice thick with lingering passion.
“Yeah.” Anna whispered, squeezing the firm flesh of his shoulder, before biting her lower lip. A sense of pride flowed through him. Flicking his dexterous tongue over her nipple, Jimmy kneaded her other breast. Anna’s body was writhing with desire. Once again, he sensed her hands on his shoulders, pushing him downward. It was the signal that he had been waiting for. His own hands did not go far, although he was desperate to fill his palms with the flesh of her long, shapely legs. He placed them on both sides of her midsection, before running his tongue down her stomach. Anna’s smooth, velvety skin made him want to worship her body for hours. Reaching her belly button, Jimmy looked up at her. Anna was using her right hand to fondle her breasts. The tip of her index finger was on her lips and her eyes were shut. Her brows rose up and her mouth parted, as she twisted.
“Come on, baby. Touch me…” She let out an even longer, deeper sigh. Jimmy smiled to himself, making his way down. His nostrils were filled with the scent of her sweet pussy juices, as he reached her supersensitive clit. Jimmy wrapped his arms around her thighs. The tip of his tongue landed on her entrance. He ran it up her pussy, sending waves of pleasure up and down her body. Jimmy kissed her hard, swollen clit. His warm, wet tongue was eager to touch it, but he would not focus on her clit only. He took his right hand off of her thigh. Jimmy used it to spread her pussy lips. Anna’s pussy juices glimmered, even in the pale candlelight. His tongue returned to her entrance. Jimmy collected her sweet juices and tasted them, before running his tongue up her labia once more. He pulled her clit into his mouth, while flicking his tongue across it.
“Right there… Mmm yeah, right there…” Anna moaned, grabbing a fistful of his hair. Jimmy could feel her clit hardening even more in his mouth. Running his index and middle finger up and down her pussy lips, he trapped it between his teeth, sensing the precum reaching the base of his shaft. His cock was begging for her touch, but Jimmy wanted to satisfy her first. With the right touch, he would turn good sex into great sex. Anna leaned back against her shoulders. Reaching out her left arm, she put her palm onto his hand, as he continued to tease her pussy lips. Just like the other night, she tried to show him exactly what she wanted. Wrapping her hand around his fingers, she pulled them towards her. Jimmy understood what she had in mind. With her clit in his mouth, he slid his index finger deep inside her pussy.
“More. Give me more.” Anna groaned, banging her hand against the mattress. Jimmy pushed his middle finger in her as well, indulging her. Anna tilted her head back, moaning even louder. Jimmy’s free hand caressed her belly, travelling up her body. He stuck his tongue out, partially opening his eyes, as his hand reached her breasts. Jimmy squeezed her right breast, before rolling her nipple with his thumb and index finger.
“I’m coming!” She moaned, squeezing her eyes shut. Jimmy’s pace got faster. Her pussy juices were already flowing down his fingers, all the way down to his knuckles. He took her clit back in his mouth, trying to intensify her orgasm. Cupping her breasts one at a time, pushing his fingers all the way in and licking her erogenous zone faster by the second, he felt her body quaking. Anna’s moans filled the room, audible over the juicy sounds of his penetration. She pressed her crotch against his face, before drenching his fingers with her pussy juices. Watching her orgasm, Jimmy thought of continuing his licking. He had done it; Anna’s climax was strong and loud indeed. But he hadn’t touched all of her erogenous zones yet. She was still gasping for breath, when he put his hands on her hips. With an abrupt move, he rolled her over.
“God, you don’t let up, do you?” Anna said, her voice shaking with lus
t. “I can’t wait to return the favor.”
“Not tonight, sweetheart.” Jimmy groaned. “Tonight, you’re going to do as I say.”
Anna’s naked body looked amazing. Right away, Jimmy fixed his gaze on her big, juicy ass. He was still wondering what to do first, when her sexy, feminine voice tore the silence.
“Do anything you want to me.” Anna spoke in the same tone, looking at him over her right shoulder. And Jimmy would do exactly that. After sitting back on his feet, he took her right foot in his palms and brought it close to his face. Jimmy stuck his tongue out once more. It landed on her arch. Jimmy began to lick her calf, kissing her flesh every few seconds, as he made his way up. With his hands on both sides of her thigh, he reached her knee. Jimmy dug his short fingernails in the tender flesh of her inner thigh, running his tongue up her leg. The delicate curve of her ass was less than an inch away from his face. However, Jimmy chose to ignore it for now. Yet another naughty idea flashed through his mind, one that was sure to give Anna’s body tingles of pleasure.
Grabbing her by the hips, he placed his tongue at the base of her spine. Jimmy felt her hand on his head, gripping his hair tightly, as he ran his tongue up her back. Only a second before he reached her hairline, he bit her tight flesh gently, squeezing her hips. His balls were on her butt crack and his large, rock hard cock was on her lower back. Anna’s body tightened; she turned her head to the right, exposing her neck and her ear.
“You’re even harder than the other night.” She whispered. “And so wet. God, you’re so wet…”
Jimmy did not speak. He took her earlobe in his mouth and flicked his tongue against it, caressing both sides of her midsection. He was trying hard to restrain himself; this could not go on for much longer. He needed release, but he was determined to touch her ass as well. Jimmy let go of Anna’s earlobe and leaned slightly back. Trailing a few kisses along her spine, he returned to the base of it and stopped, just above her butt crack.
