Her words ignited every nerve ending and gland in Levi’s body, causing his testicles to instantly flood with want all over again. “I’d’ve satisfied that preference again, again, and ova’ again,” he moaned, kissing her passionately as his ego swelled to a mountainous size. He then pulled back and looked at Maya like it was the first time he had ever seen a real woman. “My God, you’ve most certainly managed to pique my desire to know about the secrets of your mind tenfold.”
“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint, but the rest ‘a the secrets in my odd little mind might only pique your desire to drag me to an asylum,” Maya joked.
“No worries. Feel free to divulge your secrets. I have a spare strait-jacket lyin’ around here somewhere to help protect the masses from your madness,” Levi joked in return.
Maya laughed. “Hmm, well, which of my odd thoughts are you eaga’ to know?”
“All of ’em. Your hopes. Your dreams. The funny. The serious.” Levi touched her temple. “Any and everything locked away in here that you feared revealin’ to anyone.”
“Well, now I’m curious if you’re bein’ sincere? I’ve always figured a man would only wanna know what lies between a woman’s thighs … not between her ears.”
“I can’t speak for all otha’ men in regard to what he wants to know about a woman. And, to be honest, I’d be lyin’ if I said that I eva’ had a burnin’ desire to know the inner thoughts of any otha’ women before.” Levi propped himself up higher on his elbow and looked Maya in her eyes. “But I am indeed sincere when I say that I’ve been dyin’ to know the intimate parts ‘a this beautiful woman named Maya … the parts that no man can see or touch.”
Levi’s words instantly unlocked the gates to Maya’s vulnerability. She now lay gazing at Levi in awe, equally intrigued by what lies in his mind. “I’d ask you not to laugh at my private thoughts, but now I’m suddenly confident that you neva’ would.”
“Neva’,” Levi replied, caressing her cheek. “Not unless it was meant for genuine laughta’.”
“Well then, get the dusty old strait-jacket ready,” Maya joked.
“Will do,” Levi smiled.
Maya took a moment to think. “Hmm, well, there is indeed a thought that crosses my mind the very moment I open my eyes every mornin’.”
“What’s that?”
Maya exhaled and her eyes hovered away from Levi as a twinge of nervousness set in. “Instead ‘a headin’ out into the fields or barn to start work, I always wish I’s headed to class in some big fancy school.”
“Really?” Levi replied, astonishment evident in his tone.
Maya nodded. “I love animals, but I neva’ felt like I’s meant for farm work. I’ve always had an unrelentin’ desire to learn about all ‘a God’s mysterious wonda’s. I think about it every day. Feels like a burnin’ passion, or life callin’or somethin’. I can’t really explain it.”
“God’s mysterious wonda’s?” Levi replied with genuine curiosity.
“Mm-hmm, I’ve always been fascinated by nature’s phenomenons. Things like…”
“Rainbows?” Levi finished, stating the main thing that had sparked his curiosity about her mind.
Maya looked him in the eyes again and smiled. “How did you know?”
“Just a lucky guess,” Levi lied.
“Yes, definitely rainbows!” Maya replied, the thought of them broadening her smile.
Infected by her joy, Levi smiled as well. “What else?” he asked, still yearning for more.
“Clouds. I’ve always wondered why some clouds produce snow, rain, or sleet. Why do some create the sort ‘a thunda’ and lightnin’ that make it seem like the Gods are at war? Why do some clouds only float like wisps of art paintin’ the sky? Weatha’ is anotha’ thing I’ve always been curious about. I wanted to unda’stand why the seasons come and go like clockwork. I wish to know what forces are powerin’ the sun. Why do we sometimes only see a sliva’ of the moon at night, but then see it shine as full and bright as the sun some nights, or some nights not at all. But what I wish to learn most about is the stars. They’re by far the most fascinatin’ thing in the sky to me.”
“Why stars above all else?” Levi replied, hanging on her every word.
“They’re the ones I have the most questions about. How did they get there? Why do they twinkle so bright? Does the light shine foreva’? Why are there more stars in the sky than a human could eva’ possibly count? Are there otha’ animals or people like us livin’ somewhere near one of ‘em? I’m so fascinated by ’em, sometimes I wish I could make me a floatin’ capsule that could fly me up to the moon,” she laughed at herself. “I’ve always wanted to know what the surface feels like. I always imagined it feelin’ as soft as powda’. I’d love to nestle into it on my back, stare out at the night sky, and look at all those beautiful twinklin’ stars up-close. I bet the view from up there would be so magnificent … it’d probably bring me to tears,” she sighed. “Sounds silly I know, but it just all seems so magical and mystical to me, and I can’t seem to stop myself from cravin’ the answa’s to all the secrets that only the Lord seems to know.”
Levi gazed at Maya silently, his eyes revealing how captivated he was by the secrets of her mind.
Maya looked him in the eyes when he was quiet for too long. “Tryna rememba’ where you put that strait-jacket?” she joked.
“An asylum is the last place to trap a mind as captivatingly beautiful as yours.”
Not expecting such a reply, a smile emerged on Maya’s face that was as grand as her rainbows. “Thank you for that,” she replied sincerely.
“You’re welcome … but you certainly make my mind feel so mediocre,” Levi joked. “All I’ve eva’ wondered about is the mystery of life?”
“Your musical mind is definitely not mediocre!” Maya laughed. “But yes, I’m quite certain there’s not a human on this earth who hasn’t questioned how we all truly got here … or why we’re here. Was it really God? Does he have a plan for all of us? It’s certainly crossed my mind. Although, in my odd mind, I’ve mainly wondered why God created most of us with the ability to produce life … but not all,” she added, a hint of seriousness in her voice.
Knowing why such a thing was a curious question in her mind, Levi caressed her arm. “I can’t imagine how it must’ve felt to learn that about yourself.”
“I guess it was a blessin’ and a curse as they say. I’m convinced God knew just what he was doin’ when he designed me without the ability to make babies. Such a flaw certainly got me outta eva’ havin’ to go back to those breedin’ hellholes.”
“I’m so sorry my fatha’-in-law eva’ forced you to go there. Those places should be outlawed.”
“You owe no apology for his actions.”
“I know. But I can’t help but apologize for the fact that you eva’ had to experience somethin’ like that. I just can’t fathom what it must do to someone’s mind to have such a thing forced on you.”
“I can’t speak for everyone else, but it helped build a mental strength in me that I neva’ thought humanly possible. It’s odd the things your mind will do to protect you from goin’ insane.”
“So, it neva’ affected you?”
“A little at first. I cried about it when it was ova’ the first few times. But that’s when my mind seemed to go to war on my behalf. Afta’ a while, I started to just pretend like every man I’s with was a man that I loved … and that he loved me too. It wasn’t until then that I learned to enjoy it … for the little time that it lasted anyway,” Maya laughed.
“Your beautiful mind hard at work again,” Levi replied, gazing at her in awe.
Maya smiled. “Beautiful or insane … I s’ppose those descriptions are up for debate,” she joked. “But the one thing I know for a fact is how grateful I am that your fatha’-in-law felt I’s a waste ‘a his money afta’ the doctors told ’em I could neva’ have children.”
“You’re grateful for that?” Levi asked, sounding confused.
Her confession instantly drew Levi’s lips to hers. He let a tender kiss linger there for the longest time. “I’m glad he sent you here too,” he whispered, swallowing back an unexpected need to shed a tear over the fact that such an incredible woman ever had to pretend she was loved.
When Levi pulled back, he noticed the heaviness of sleep in Maya’s eyelids. “You tired?” he asked, caressing her cheek.
“Mm-hmm,” she said, her eyelids lowering a bit. “Felt like you drained all the life outta me. Ain’t neva’ had no man do that little thing you did with your mouth. Thought my legs were gonna give out.”
Levi laughed. “Neva’ before, huh?” he said, sounding surprised.
Maya shook her head. “The men I’s forced to be with only cared about makin’ babies … not makin’ me feel good. And they sho’ wasn’t doin’ that little trick you just did with these lips,” she laughed, tracing them with her fingertip. “Even if they knew how, I doubt they’d eva’ botha’.”
Maya seemed to look at such a thing with humor, but Levi was inwardly perturbed by it. “They should have,” he whispered, taking her fingertips and kissing them.
“You certainly ain’t gonna get an argument outta me about that! Somebody sure could stand to teach those men a thing or two about pleasurin’ women!” she joked.
Levi laughed again at Maya’s comical nature about such a serious ordeal. “Well, I’m happy to have been the first and even happier that you enjoyed it,” he replied pridefully.
“I most certainly did! But it’s gonna be two or three days before I get the strength back in my weak knees!” she exclaimed, fighting her sudden sleepiness.
Levi chuckled. “Come here,” he said, gently pulling her on top of his chest. He then gathered his arms tightly around her. “Relax,” he whispered as he began smoothing his hand up and down her back.
“Don’t you have to be up early for church?” Maya asked, grogginess heavy in her tone.
“You tryna get rid ‘a me?” Levi joked.
“Not at all.”
“Go on and close your eyes then,” he whispered in a very soothing tone, as he continued to glide his hands over her skin. “I’ll just stay until you fall asleep.” He kissed Maya’s forehead and she melted into his chest. Soothed by the comfort of his touch, it was not long before she was sound asleep.
Several hours later, Maya surfaced quickly from her dream state, startled by the strong arms that were still wrapped around her body. Her frantic movements immediately woke Levi up as well.
“You okay?” he asked, gathering her tighter in his arms.
“Well, it’s not every mornin’ that I wake up in the warm embrace of a man … or eva’ for that matta’,” Maya laughed.
“That’s truly a tragedy,” Levi replied, softly kissing her on the cheek.
The tender affection sent a surge of butterflies racing through Maya’s stomach, causing her to snuggle closer to him.
“You talk in your sleep, ya’ know?” Levi teased, his voice sounding deeper than usual just after waking.
“I do not,” Maya smiled, sounding just as groggy.
“I swear.”
“What was I sayin’?”
“You said, I shooould’ve eatin’ dinnaaa’ wiiith Leeevi,” he joked.
“I sounded like a ghost?” Maya giggled.
“Sho’ did! ’Bout near scared me outta here.”
Maya propped herself up on her elbow and looked at Levi, the morning sunlight making the dazzling colors in his eyes easier to see. “You talk in your sleep too, ya’ know,” she said as she wiped a bit of crust away from his eye.
Levi smiled. “Oh yeah.”
“Mm-hmm.”
“What did I say?”
“You said, I waaant Maaaya to maaake meee feeel good agaaain,” she teased, mimicking his ghostly tone.
Levi moaned lightly, her words immediately causing him to harden. “You must’ve heard me wrong,” he replied.
“Did I now?” she asked, playing along.
“Mm-hmm. Maybe I was mumblin’, so let me be more clear this time. I said…” He rolled Maya onto her back, maneuvered himself on top of her and whispered, “I wanna make Maya feel good.” However, there was nothing sarcastic or silly in his tone this time.
By the tender way Levi kissed her afterward, Maya could feel that he genuinely meant every word of what he had just said. The feeling resonated through her body like a subtle orgasm and she helplessly moaned as if that was certainly the case. Her response further motivated Levi’s desires to stay true to his words. For just a few minutes, that’s all he wanted to do was taste her and listen to the soft erotic sounds of her pleasure-induced sighs. He then began kissing his way down her body, ready to turn those soft purrs into intense roars of passion. He softly suckled on each of her nipples as he made his descent. He then trailed kisses straight down the center of her stomach. His nostrils flared and his mouth began to water as he closed in on his sweetly scented destination.
All too eager to feel Levi’s lips playing in her southern passageways again, Maya spread her legs wide and thrust her hips upward. Her wanton actions caused drool to overflow from Levi’s mouth as he suddenly devoured her hidden jewel. The powerful suction caused Maya’s breath to catch. She arched her back and tugged hard at Levi’s hair as the glorious sensation of his lips and tongue began to rob her of rationale. But Levi was in no way hurt by her forceful grip. Her actions only made him more eager to suspend his goddess in a state of euphoria. He suddenly eased the force of his suckling and slid his tongue inside her. Simultaneously the pair moaned; she at the glorious feeling and he at the glorious taste. Slowly, Levi then began French kissing her southern lips, wanting to draw out her pleasure. Maya took a hold of his head and gently grinded against his tongue as he ran it along her erogenous corridor. The slight quiver of her legs and the elevating sounds of her cries signaled to Levi what was shortly to come. With every ounce of strength his lips could muster, he suddenly sucked hard on her swollen seed. Maya’s back arched, she thrust her hips forward and spasmed again and again, flooding Levi’s mouth with the sweet taste of her nectar.
The feel, the sound, and the taste of Maya’s body had semen continuously dripping from Levi’s hardened flesh. It left a trail on Maya’s leg as he kissed his way up her abdomen. When he was lined up with her face, Maya’s lips eagerly met his. She immediately parted her mouth, thanking him with a deep passionate kiss. Feeling his pulsating member resting between her thighs, she spread her legs again, erotically begging for more of him. Levi moaned at her wanton actions. More than happy to give her the pleasure she craved, he slowly slid his erection deep inside her. The pair briefly broke their kiss as they simultaneously howled over the searing pleasure now heating their bodies. In unison, they opened their eyes. For a moment, Levi just gazed at Maya. He was simply captivated by everything about her. Wanting to bring her the ultimate pleasure, he descended on her lips again as he began stroking in an extraordinarily slow manner. The gentle way Levi caressed her lips made her feel that she mattered, that her pleasures were a priority above anything else. There were no tricks or movements out of the ordinary in his patient strokes within her. But despite the simplicity, Levi’s tender motions made Maya quickly realize that there was an extreme difference between a man who wished to impregnate her and one who wished to make love to her.
The passion Levi exuded made Maya eager to reciprocate. She wrapped her legs around him and gripped the strong muscles of his back, wanting his body to melt into hers. She further parted her mouth, happy to let him taste more of her. The experience of being wanted by a woman with such fervent desperation had Levi’s stones on the verge of permanent explosion, his mind and body equally on the cusp. He knew now how he wanted to die: inside of this angelic woman as
she catapulted him into heaven.
Levi continued the cycle of deliberate slow love making for the longest time. He was striving to bring Maya the utmost pleasure, but the intensity was superseding anything he had ever felt in his life. The indescribable sensations made him understand how losing a woman to another could drive a man to madness. Maya was not just providing him a means of satisfaction. She was giving him what he had desperately needed for years: knowing what it was like to truly feel wanted by a woman. Maya further proved her want for Levi when his name suddenly escaped her lips in a drawn-out sultry manner. It erupted helplessly from her, much like the single tear that cascaded down the side of her face. Just hours earlier, Levi had begged to hear her say his name. He was now hearing it in a beautiful manner, driven by the power of her climactic release. The joy of such a thing brought his ride to an end along with her. The rush of his seed escaping into her felt as intense as their lovemaking had been. The euphoric feeling radiated out to his skin and lingered in his muscles for the longest time, and pleasantly took its time fading from his body.
Maya opened her eyes when she suddenly felt Levi’s tears pelting her skin. She looked at him wondering if they were tears of guilt or something more beautiful. He conveyed the answer by the way he passionately kissed her lips. Only his need to breathe forced him to pull away. Even then he remained close, still not ready to part ways. Levi gazed at Maya for a moment as he caressed her cheek. He then tenderly kissed her forehead. “I can’t even tell ya’ how much I hate to leave you right now but…”
“I know. You gotta get to the church,” Maya smiled.
“I’m hatin’ myself right now for tellin’ ’em that I’d be there today. Wish I’d’ve let ’em think I’s still outta town. But if I don’t get there on time, they’ll send a search party out lookin’ for me,” he joked.
“It’s okay,” Maya smiled. “Go on ahead and get goin’.”
Reluctantly, Levi withdrew from her and stood up. Maya watched him the entire time he went about covering his lean strong body with his pajamas. She could not seem to pull her eyes away from him, especially a certain part. A true wonder it certainly turned out to be in Maya’s estimation. The length, the strength, and the pleasure it gave her was unlike anything she had ever imagined when she used to gaze at him shirtless across the fields. After the way it had just made her body soar, she felt herself moisten all over again.
