“Thank you. Come on, I’ll show you to the spare bedroom where you can change for dinner,” he said.
“Lead the way,” she said. He led her to a room that was decorated in all white. All white usually didn’t appeal to her, but the room was simple and eloquent. It also appeared as though it had never been used.
“Has anyone slept in here before?” she asked.
“If that’s a politically correct way of asking if I’ve had other women in here…the answer is no.” He laughed.
Josinia’s eyes widened. “Of course not. I only asked because it’s so elegant.”
“The answer is still no. Just so you know, I’ve never brought another woman here before. You’re the first,” he said, placing her bag on the floor next to the bed.
Josinia’s heart swelled. She knew she shouldn’t have felt so relieved, but she did. After this week she’d never see him again, but her heart still did a little pitter patter at the notion that no other woman had graced this beautiful place. “Thank you,” she murmured.
“You’re welcome, sweetness,” he said, turned back to her and running his finger over her full bottom lip. “I want so badly to kiss you, but I know if I do it wouldn’t end there. So I’ll wait. There’s a bathroom right over there if you want to take a shower.”
“I sure would. I would also like to take a little nap. I’ve been up a long time. That is, if you don’t mind me messing up your beautiful bed,” she said.
“Of course not. Everything you’ll need is in the bathroom. If you need me, my room is the first one down the hall. I’m going to take a very cold shower and watch television for a little while. Enjoy your nap, sweetness. Join me when you feel like it,” he said, squeezing her hand lightly, before turning to walk out, closing the door behind him.
Josinia grabbed her bag off the floor, took out some toiletries, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. After the shower she pulled the bed covers back and got into bed, where she instantly fell asleep.

On his way back to his room, Tek passed his brother’s room and realized for the first time that he’d gone out. He hadn’t realized when he’d walked in that Tac wasn’t there. Hadn’t given it a second thought. It was a good thing his brother wasn’t there. He didn’t feel like sharing Josinia with anyone yet. He wished they didn’t have to go out. He’d have preferred just staying in, sharing a nice quiet dinner, and making love with Josinia. A light bulb went off in his head. Maybe they didn’t have to leave after all. He was a pretty good cook himself. Not as good as his brother, but he knew how to grill a steak, bake a potato, and make a salad. There were always various containers of ice cream in the freezer since he and his brother loved it so much. “Great,” he said to himself. Tek began to take out the various ingredients he would need for dinner. Hopefully he would have everything ready by the time Josinia woke up.
He began to hum to himself on his way to the shower. His plan was genius. Tek just hoped Josinia thought so too. Drying himself off, he pulled on a pair of jeans, leaving the top button undone, and then went to prepare their meal. He’d just about finished when he heard her soft voice.
“Something sure does smell good,” she said.
“I figured I’d cook…” he started and was held momentarily speechless. Josinia was radiant, standing there in a simple peach-colored halter dress that stopped well above her knees, and clung to her every curve. The dress wasn’t meant to seduce…but damn, she wore it well. He could only watch in awe as she walked barefoot over to him to survey what he was doing. Her hair was pulled up in some kind of twisty thing atop her head, allowing him full view of her lovely neck.
“Tek, are you listening to me?” he heard her say.
He mentally shook himself. “Huh…what was that?” he stammered.
“I asked if you needed help, but you seemed to be miles away.”
“You get more beautiful each time I see you. You take my breath away,” he whispered. The little vein at her neck pulsated under his scrutiny, sending an electric shock straight to his cock. He smiled inwardly. Oh yeah…she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. To hell with it. He needed this woman like he needed his next breath.
“Why do you keep saying that?” she asked.
“Because it’s true,” he answered.
“There’s more to me than a pretty face, Tek,” she murmured.
Turning the burner off, Tek closed the distance between them and wrapped his arms around her waist. Leaning forward, he looked directly into her eyes. “I know that, Josinia. You emanate intelligence. However, it doesn’t negate the fact that you’re a very beautiful and desirable woman. A woman that I would like very much to make love to. Would you like for me to make love to you, Josinia?” he asked.
Tek watched her eyes turn a darker shade of gray and released a breath that he hadn’t realized he’d been holding.
“Tek, we don’t even know each other. I would love…”
“My birth name is Teksuen Alexander Montreal. I was born and raised in New York. I am the product of interracial parents; a Chinese mother and African-American father, and have a twin brother, Tackuan Aidian Montreal. Up until six months ago, I worked on Wall Street in Foreign Exchange. Now I’m part owner in a special business with three friends. I’m very close to my grandparents on my father’s side as well as my uncles, aunts, and cousins—at the same time I don’t have a relationship at all with anyone on my mother’s side; they didn’t approve of my parents’ relationship and disowned her. My parents have been married for thirty-five years and are still very much in love. So now will you let me make love to you?” he breathed and was rewarded with her rich laughter.
“Wow, that was a mouthful. So do you still live in New York?”
“I divide my time between New York and Atlanta. Stop stalling, Josinia. I’m about to burst here.”
“Yes, Teksuen,” she stressed. “We can make love.”
Tek didn’t hesitate. He lifted her up off her feet and headed straight to his bedroom, closing the door behind him, and laid Josinia on his bed.
“My goodness, this has to be one of the biggest beds I’ve ever seen. What size is it?”
“I have no idea. I had it custom made. I told them what I was looking for, and this is what I got. Glad you like it. I plan on exploring every inch of it with you,” he said, then stood, grabbed a condom out of his pocket, ripped open the pack, stepped out of his jeans, and rolled the condom onto his erection. He watched as her eyes nearly bulged out of her head. “Don’t worry, baby, you can handle me.”
“Uh…you’re rather large,” she whispered.
“We’ll be perfect together. You’ll see. Now, sweetness, as much as I love that dress on you, I know I’d love you even more naked. Get rid of the dress, Josinia.”
“Make me, Teksuen,” she sassed.
***
Tek’s dark eyes darkened even more. Oh man…she’d picked an inopportune time to sass him. His cock was so hard if felt as if the damn thing was going to explode. This woman…with one look she could turn him inside out, and that floored him. He was a love-them-and-leave-them kind of guy. He had a feeling it wouldn’t be so easy to leave Josinia. Besides, he suspected that though she was here with him now, casual sex was not something she was into. He didn’t even want to think about that at the moment. Tek needed to be inside of her. Like, yesterday. Without giving it a thought, he reached down, grabbed her dress by the hem, and snatched it up and over her head. He rocked back on his heels at the sight of her magnificent body.
“Damn, baby, I know I said this before, but you simply take my breath away.”
Her breasts were a little more than a handful, round and firm with small, berry-like nipples that hardened under his perusal. Bending at the waist, Tek brought his mouth to her breast, pulled one erect nipple into his mouth and suckled.
Josinia’s hand instantly grasped his head and held him to her breast. She began making little mewling sounds as he suckled. He switched back an
d forth from one breast to the other, paying each one equal attention. Releasing her breast, Tek gently pushed her back on the bed; opening her legs, he kneeled before her, placed her legs over his shoulders, and aligned his face with her wet sex. Perfect, he thought. Her almost bare pussy glistened with her juices. “Oh baby,” he murmured, before leaning forward to swipe his tongue across her slit. Her lower body lifted off the bed, giving him better access. He ate at her like she was his favorite meal, alternating between licking and sucking on her clit.
She began to writhe and moan uncontrollably under his ministrations—holding onto his head for dear life. She was close to completion; he could tell by the way her pussy flexed against his tongue. Good. Before the night was over, he wanted her to have come several times over.
“Please,” she begged. “I’m almost there.”
Tek responded by burying his tongue as deep inside of her as he could get it, wiggled it from side-to-side, before pulling out and then repeating the process.
“More,” she pleaded, lower body bowing and lifting off the bed. “I…need more…Tek. I need desperately to come.”
“Let it go, Josinia,” he demanded, sucking on her nub, while simultaneously fingering her.
“Umm, umm,” she writhed. “Umm, umm…oh God. I can’t.”
“Yes, you can,” he whispered against her clit, adding another finger. Thrusting in and out of her. “Come on, baby, let it go.” Then he twisted his fingers up inside of her, using his palm to bear down on her.
“Oh my damn,” she yelled, exploding all over his hand.
“That was beautiful, baby,” he groaned, sopping up her juices, before kissing his way up her body. Starting at her abdomen, he kissed her flat belly, moving up to bring one succulent nipple into his mouth, then the other, before moving farther to capture her lips in a scorching kiss.
* * *
Josinia felt as if she were floating on clouds after having one mind-blowing orgasm. She never thought she would feel this way again. He definitely knew what he was doing in the bedroom.
She was still pulsating between her thighs where his very hard cock was nestled between her pussy lips. His kisses were hot; they were erotic. Josinia could taste herself on his lips, and that really turned her on. His tongue demanded just as much from her mouth as it had from her pussy. Josinia had no doubt that this man didn’t do anything in halves. His mouth demanded that she open wider and give him as much as he was giving her, and she did just that. While he sucked on her tongue, he used his hand to play with her breasts, lightly tugging on her nipples. His cock twitched against her. She wrapped her arms tightly around his back and undulated against his cock. Josinia felt her power as a woman when he growled aloud in her mouth, and she tightened her hold on his back.
She was on the verge again. Her body felt like the waves of the ocean were rolling across it. “Tek,” she groaned.
“Ride it out, baby. Stop holding back. There’s nothing to be afraid of—believe me. Go with it, Josinia,” he whispered, rolling his hips against her.
“Oh…man…what are you doing to me?” she cried.
“Come on, sweetness, your body knows what it wants—give it to it,” he breathed, reaching between them to pinch her clit.
Josinia felt as if someone had released a time bomb within her. She shook from head to toe. She shattered beneath him. Before she could come down from her euphoric high, he had her legs spread wide, pushed partway into her and stopped.
“Josinia, look at me. I want you looking into my eyes as I fill you,” he ordered, sweat dripping from his body onto hers.
She opened her eyes and looked up into the most hypnotic dark eyes she’d ever seen.
“That’s it, baby,” he said, pushing a little deeper, pulling out completely, then surging back into her. He filled her to the hilt.
Josinia cried out. “Oh my God!”
“Did I hurt you?” he asked hoarsely.
“Oh no. You feel…so good,” she whimpered. “I can’t believe you fit.”
Tek chuckled. “I told you I would. Wrap your legs around me, baby, and hold on.”
Josinia had no problem complying. She didn’t think he could get any deeper within her—but she was wrong. It felt as if he was touching her womb. Josinia sobbed as he pulled out of her, but calmed as he pushed back into her. With a twist of his hips he surged in and out of her. She caught on to his tempo and met him thrust for thrust. Each time he pulled out and thrust back into her she felt his heat.
“Josinia, baby, I can’t hold…on much longer. Come for me once more, sweetness,” he groaned, thrusting up and into her, grinding his pelvis against hers. She needed no further coaxing. Josinia yelled so loudly as she came, she almost choked.
“Sweet Jesus!”
“Fuck yeah!” he shouted. “Fuck…that’s it, baby…give it all to me.”
His cock still twitching inside of her sent little aftershocks throughout her body. He was still straining against her.
“Damn, I can’t seem to get enough of you,” he panted, collapsing on top of her.
After her tremors finally died down, she dropped her legs from around him.
“I need to dispose of the condom,” he said, getting up and going into the bathroom. When he came back he had a warm washcloth and washed remnants of their lovemaking from between her thighs.
She stared up at him, surprise and embarrassment evident in her eyes.
“I’m a big man, Josinia. I could tell you haven’t been with anyone in a while. This will ease some of the soreness. In the morning you can soak in the tub. The jets from the Jacuzzi will help ease the soreness and stiffness.”
“In the morning?” she questioned.
“Josinia, after having another taste of you…there is no way in hell that I’m letting you out of this bed this weekend. So you need to call your girlfriends and tell them not to expect you back for the rest of the weekend.”
Josinia noted that he said “rest of the weekend.” He wasn’t committing to anything beyond the next few days. Could she handle that, knowing that this man just wanted her for sex? Maybe committed relationships weren’t for everyone. Hell, she’d seen firsthand one failed relationship after another, starting with her parents. Her mother loved her father to distraction, and all she’d gotten in return was death and a man who’d probably cheated on her from the time they’d said their vows. Josinia thought for a moment. She’d give him tonight but wouldn’t promise anything else. She’d had enough heartbreak in her life, and this man had the ability to break her heart to pieces. She refused to go through what her mother had with her father. Couldn’t even depend on him on her deathbed.
“Josinia,” she heard him call to her.
“Wh—what?”
“Where’d you go? You had such a sad look in her eyes. What’s wrong?” he asked, the concern evident in his voice.
“I’ll give you tonight. That’s all I can promise right now,” she whispered.
He looked as if he wanted to protest. She hoped he didn’t or she’d have to leave now.
“I’ll take tonight, Josinia, if that’s all you’re willing to give me. Something is better than nothing. Just promise me you won’t sneak off before I wake up,” he said.
Josinia gasped. Did he know it was her that night? Nine years ago she was much thinner—her hair much shorter—she’d chopped it all off in a rebellious rage. She’d grown it out over the years, and it now hung down her back.
“Josinia, look at me,” he murmured softly.
Oh yeah, he knew. She could tell from his voice.
“You know, don’t you?” she asked quietly, not meeting his eyes.
“Look at me, Josinia,” he repeated.
Looking up, she noticed him toying with the gold chain around his neck. Her heart nearly stopped. She recognized the chain. It was hers. How did he get it?
“How…”
“I found it the next day on the floor next to the bed. The chain was broken. I had it fixed and have been wear
ing it since then. I think even then you’d stolen a piece of my heart. I won’t lie and tell you it’s love, because I simply don’t know. All I know is that I want to be with you.”
Josinia couldn’t speak. The tears were cascading down her face. He’d kept her chain. The precious little chain that her mom had given her. She was full-out bawling now.
“What’s wrong?” he cried in alarm. “You don’t have to stay if you don’t want to.”
“It’s not that,” she hiccupped. “My mom gave me that chain just before she died. I thought it was lost forever. But you saved it. It was only a one-night stand, but you held on to something that was so precious to me.”
“You’re precious,” he said, taking the chain from around his neck and putting it on hers. “We have a lot to learn about each other. Don’t refer to our night together as a one-night stand. At the time neither of us knew it or understood it, but we made love then just as we did tonight. It may just be that we are meant to be together. There’s nothing else to explain why after so many years later, we ran into each and immediately picked up where we left off. There’s definitely a connection.”
“I don’t know if I believe in relationships or love. My father cheated on my mom; fathering two children outside of the marriage. My high school graduation present was his announcement that he was engaged to his mistress. This was less than five months after my mother’s death. Upon her death I inherited an instant family. My dad died three years ago of a massive heart attack all alone in a Nevada hotel room while my stepmother was home screwing his partner. On top of that, my twenty-year-old half-sister is determined to follow in her mother’s footsteps, no matter how hard I’ve tried to keep her on track. My seventeen-year-old brother is a godsend and will be graduating from high school next year.
“I promised my mom that I would finish my education. I’d always wanted to be a medical doctor like my dad, but after witnessing his selfishness, I changed fields. I am now a doctor of physical therapy. I really enjoy it. I opened a practice with my friend Gemini on Long Island. I too am a New York native. That night I hooked up with you…I was at a very low point in my life. One that I’d rather not go into now. But you were a lifesaver. In that one night, you gave me something I hadn’t had in a very long time. Compassion,” she choked out.
