“He loves you?”
“Yes, he told me he loves me.”
“When?”
“When I was giving him the blowjob in the bathroom.”
“Oh fuck, Tami. Guys say that kind of stuff all the time when they want sex. You can’t fall for it, unless he says it when you’re not fucking his brains out. Even then it’s most likely not true.”
“Well, he did say it later. And again this morning.”
“He did?” So much for lessons eight and nine. God, why is it she only takes half of what I say to heart?
“Yes, and I believe him.”
“What, did he pinky swear it or something?”
“That’s not fair. I can tell when a man is being honest.”
“Yes, you’ve had so much experience at it.”
“Damn it! Don’t be that way. Why can’t it be love?”
“I’m sorry Tami. Don’t listen to me. If he loves you and you love him, it’s all good.”
“You really think so?”
“I’m positive.” Just remember this conversation two weeks from now when he dumps your ass for someone new.
“Don’t you ever want to fall in love, Nicole?”
Robert! Fuck, not now, brain. “Sure. Someday when I meet the right man, I will fall in love and get married.” Robert, Robert, Robert. Oh, shut up! “I just don’t want to see you get hurt by rushing into something just because the guy says he loves you after great sex.”
“Maybe you’re right, my friend. But for now, I’m going to believe he is being honest and I know what I’m feeling for him is love.”
“So, did he ever come last night?”
The biggest grin hit Tami’s lips, lighting up her entire face and eyes. “Oh yes. Did he ever come!”
“Well, don’t make me guess, tell all.”
“After my orgasm, he pulled me off the bed and had me turn around and kneel on the edge. My breasts were hanging down and my nipples were still really hard. I bet if I had tried I could have suck them into my own mouth in that position.”
“Most likely you could and I suggest you give it a try at some future time. Now get back to last night.”
“Okay. He was standing behind me, and he felt between my legs for my pussy. He guided his cock inside and then he took my hips in his hands and starting pumping. Oh my God.”
Houston, we have lift off.
“The harder he thrust, the wetter I got. We were rocking so hard the bed was moving back and forth too. His cock was buried so deep inside me I think it ran out of space. I could feel every inch of him. His cock was throbbing. My muscles kept grabbing him and sucking tight. The juice was flowing so freely it ran down my legs. I could hear him yelling, ‘Yes, yes, oh god, yes,’ as he fucked me.”
Keep going. Nicole had her eyes closed again. Robert occupied her mind, his naked body driving into her from behind, thrusting his rod deep.
“I felt the muscles of my stomach pull up hard. It was like a contraction; my body started trembling, hot cum pumped from deep inside my body coating his cock, and I could hear him groaning. I knew he was close and I wanted to feel him come, but I couldn’t stop shaking from my muscles clutching each time he drove deep.”
Nicole tightened her pussy muscles as Tami’s words washed over her.
“Just as I felt another orgasm take hold, Jerry growled, and I felt something hot shoot into my pussy. He slammed his cock hard and held it deep. I could feel the cum pumping out of his penis. He was making this noise that sounded like a lion purring.”
Yes, Robert, make me come!
“Nicole, are you okay?”
“Hmm, what!”
“You look like you’re somewhere else, deep in thought.”
“No. I was just listening.”
“Oh my God, you were day dreaming about fucking someone as I was telling you about last night.”
“Well, don’t get all uppity about it, love; you’ve done it many a time when I’ve been reliving my sexual adventures.”
“Have not.”
“Oh, come off it. Of course you have. Maybe not quite as good as I just did, because you didn’t have any experience to call on. But we both know you’ve pictured yourself with some guy while I talked.”
“Did you come?”
“You mean just now?”
“No, I mean two hours ago. Fuck, of course I mean now. When I was telling you about Jerry.”
“What do you think?”
“I think you did. Now I want to know with who.”
“Just some guy.”
“Robert.”
“No, not Robert.” How the hell did she know he was back in town?
“Don’t lie to me Nicole. I know you’ve been seeing him again.”
“Darling, I don’t want to talk about Robert. This is your life we are discussing. Tell me what happened after he came.”
“You’re impossible.”
“True.”
“Okay, but we are going to discuss Robert later.”
“Sure, whatever you say.” Over my dead body. Right now I want to keep him all to myself. See if he’s changed any, grown any, and just what his plans for us might be.
“Actually, that was all that happened last night. After we cleaned up, we went to bed. I was so tired I fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow and so did Jerry.”
“Well, I have one final question.”
“What.”
“Can you count?”
“What do you mean?”
“You told me you had three orgasms and you’ve only had two so far in this recounting of last night.”
“Okay, so I can’t count. It seemed like a lot more.”
Nicole laughed so hard Tami threw a straw at her. “Oh, my side hurts now.”
“Laugh all you want. I’m going back to work.”
“So am I.” Nicole followed Tami out the door, still laughing. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Tami turned to give Nicole a hug before getting into the cab. “I love you, my friend.”
“I love you too, Tami. Enjoy.”
“I will.”
Nicole watched for several minutes until the cab disappeared around the corner onto Franklin. Once Tami was out of sight, she took her cell phone out of her purse and hit the speed dial.
“Hello.” His voice was deep and bold.
“Robert.”
“Nicole, sweetheart. What’s up?”
“I’m hoping you are. Can you meet me at my apartment in ten minutes?”
“Of course.”
“Good. Take your clothes off in the living room, will ya? I’ll be naked on the bed, waiting for you.”
“My kind of afternoon.”
“You’re still talking? Fuck, hang up the phone and get moving.” Nicole heard the line go dead as she climbed into a cab for the two-block ride home. If Robert wasn’t there in fifteen minutes, she’d use her big boy vibrator.
Chapter 9
The Reception
After six glasses of champagne, Nicole was feeling no pain. She’d almost lost it in the receiving line when she remembered that night with Robert. Damn, small evening bags, not enough room for a lipstick case, let alone a dong, and she came close to needing one before Tami pulled her back to the present by announcing it was time to take seven thousand pictures.
Over an hour after the flippin’ photographer started, he finally declared he had enough different poses to fill twenty wedding albums and they were free to join their guests at the reception. Thank God.
The deejay had music bouncing off the walls of the ballroom at the Fairmont. An open bar stood in one corner and a wooden dance floor covered a large area in the middle of the room. All the yellow roses and candles had been transported from the church to grace the many tables lining the perimeter of the room.
Nicole watched as Jerry spun his bride around the dance floor. Still dressed in her wedding dress, Tami was beautiful. She laughed, danced, kissed, and hugged every person in the room during the last two hours,
and still she looked like she was walking on cloud nine.
Actually, thinking about it now, Nicole realized Tami had been on cloud nine for six months now. Ever since that fateful Friday six months ago.
Chapter 10
Friday
Small white clouds hung high in the crystal blue sky, the air warm for a November afternoon. There had been no fog for days, and the usual ocean breezes from the bay were absent. The weatherman on Channel Five declared it would be unseasonably warm for the next several days, with calm seas. He advised boat owners take the opportunity to break out the sunscreen and enjoy.
Apparently, a lot of people watched Channel Five, because boats of all sizes dotted the water from Alcatraz to the Golden Gate and back again. Nicole paused at the top of the hill to study the tranquil picture for a minute before entering the diner.
Tami was sitting at their usual table, sipping coffee.
Nicole joined her. “You look happy.”
“I am,” Tami replied.
“Still glowing from the other night?”
“And last night, and this morning.”
“Wow, once you unlocked the secret to sex, you’ve become insatiable.”
“Yes, and I plan to stay that way.”
Nicole felt genuine happiness for Tami. “Anything new to report?”
“Let’s order lunch and I’ll tell you all about it.”
The waitress took their order and disappeared behind the kitchen doors. “I have to assume things are still on track.”
“You could say that.” Tami seemed to be waiting to tell her something important.
“Give over.”
“You really want to know?”
“Hell yes. Stop teasing and tell me what’s going on.” I’ll unpack Robert and get ready to play.
“Jerry asked me to marry him.”
Hell, damn, fuck … so much for playing. “What! He asked you to what?”
“He asked me to marry him.”
“Okay, so I heard you right the first time. Isn’t this a little fast?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Well, I do.”
“Why?”
“Because, darlin, you’ve only known him for two months and let’s get real here, you’ve only just now figured the sex thing out.”
“True. But there is no set timeframe for falling in love. We just reached it faster than some.”
“Okay, love is all good and I’m glad you’re in love, but really, marriage is a pretty big step at this point. Don’t you think?”
“No.”
“Did you say yes?”
“What do you think?”
“Forgive me. Of course you said yes.” Nicole didn’t want to rain on her parade, but for the love of all the saints in heaven, this was moving too fast and she didn’t want to see Tami hurt.
“Nicole, trust me. I know I’ve been sheltered, but this is true love and I want to marry Jerry.”
But you have never had sex with anyone else. “I know you think this is right, Tami. I just don’t want your heart broken.” Shit, this is foolish.
“It’s my heart and I’ve given it to Jerry. Please, Nicole, be happy for us.”
Nicole reached across the table and took Tami’s hand in hers. “I’m happy for you, sweetheart. Honest.” And, I’ll be here to pick up the pieces if he does break your heart, and then I’m going to hunt him down and cut off his balls.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” Keep saying it, Nicole. Say it until you believe it.
“Promise?”
Damn it to hell and back, if she asks me one more time, I’m going to kidnap her and lock her away until she comes to her senses. “I promise. So when is the wedding?”
“May twenty-second.”
“Six months from now. So we have time to plan a big party, have a bridal shower, and spend days looking at travel brochures to pick the perfect honeymoon spot!” Six months to talk you out of this.
“Yep.”
“So tell me how he proposed.”
Nicole watched as Tami’s eyes screwed up in thought. “I’m not sure I should tell you about our sex life anymore. After all, we’re engaged now.”
“So, who the fuck cares?”
“Jerry might.”
“Are you going to tell him we talk about your sex life?”
“Well, no.”
“Okay then. I sure the hell ain’t gonna call him on the phone and spill the beans. And, what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right?”
“Right.”
“Okay then. Tell me.”
“We had dinner at my place.”
“Dinner, yep, check.”
“After dinner we went in the bedroom.”
“Bedroom, yep, check.”
“Stop that.”
“Then hurry the fuck up and get to the good stuff.”
“What makes you think it was good?”
“You said yes, didn’t you?”
“Oh. Right. Okay. We made love. I mean it was so tender and soft. Slow, easy, make-me-come-baby, making love.”
“I think sex has screwed up your ability to talk correctly.”
“It was different, Nicole. I mean before, earlier in the week, the sex was animal instinct stuff. Last night was more.”
Okay, I’ve heard of this nonsense before. True love will make it better, more real, ya right. “It can be special when you find someone close to share it with.”
“Has it ever been like that for you?”
“Sure, lots of times.”
“Really, with who?”
Robert, Robert, oh my God, let-me-fuck-you, Robert. Damn it, shut the fuck up! “I can’t remember.”
“Come off it, Nicole, I know you have deep feelings for Robert.”
“Enough. I don’t want to talk about him. Tell me about the proposal.”
“Okay, but we are going to come back to the topic of Robert real soon, my friend. If he can’t get off his ass and commit to you, than you need to move on.”
Oh, he’s committed to me, baby. Committed to my clit, my nipples, my G-spot, my lips— “Huh, what did you say?”
“I said: After we made love…”
“Right, you made tender love and all that.”
“Where is your brain today?”
“It’s here.”
“Sure.”
“Stop picking on me and continue.”
“We were lying in the bed. He had his arms around my waist and he was nibbling on my shoulder. He asked me if I loved him and I told him yes. He moved my body so I was lying flat beside him and he started sucking my nipple.”
“After you’d already made love once?”
“Yep.”
“Okay, just getting the timeline right.”
“Sure. I think you’re trying to interrupt me enough so you don’t get all hot and bothered today. What-ze-matter, wasn’t Robert available yesterday?”
How the fuck did she know I called Robert? “None of your business. Now go on.”
“He was running his tongue over my breast, sucking one moment, then licking the next, when he stopped and looked up at me. He smiled and asked if I enjoyed his mouth on my skin. I told him yes. I watched him push my legs open and with two fingers, he pumped into my pussy. Do you like to come, he asked. I told him, oh yes!”
Nicole began to wonder if maybe Jerry had hidden talents she’d missed. Maybe he doesn’t need lessons after all.
“Jerry thrust his fingers in and out of my wet pussy, until I felt like I was going to explode. My fingers tingled, and my muscles clenched so tight, I don’t think I was breathing much. I was lightheaded and the room started spinning around me. The gush of cum that flowed between my legs was so warm I could feel it, and Jerry bent his head to drink it in, his tongue sending my clit jumping with each lick.”
Okay, Robert had better be available again or I’m in trouble.
“After the contractions in my pussy stopped, Jerry kissed me on the lips. I could smell my
sex on his breath, taste my cum on his lips. It was thrilling. He sucked my tongue into his mouth and held it gently in his teeth. His fingers started playing with my clit again, and I couldn’t move because he had my tongue. The only way I could response was by pumping my mons into his hand.”
Nicole felt her pussy gush, soaking her panties with cum. When did Tami get so good at talking about the intimate details of sex?
“As I felt the orgasm start, Jerry released my tongue and pushed up into my G-spot. Cum exploded out of me and that is the moment he chose to ask me.”
“Right in the middle of an orgasm?”
“Yes. I remember hearing the words as I floated out of my body. Every fiber of my being was on fire and there was no way I could answer him. It was like a dream and I didn’t want to let go of the feeling. As my orgasm peaked Jerry kept strumming my clit, and it was so swollen, it almost hurt, but I didn’t want him to stop. When the second climax hit, it was more powerful than the first one and I think I actually fainted.”
“Sounds heavenly.”
“It was. After a while I remember asking him if he was serious. He didn’t even ask me about what, just said ‘yes, I was serious.’”
“What did you do?”
“I pulled his lips back down to mine. Told him I’d marry him in a heartbeat, and then I kissed him for all he was worth.”
“Sounds very romantic.”
“It was.”
“Yeah, but you’ll never be able to tell your grandchildren the truth.”
Tami burst out laughing. “Well, at least not the version I just told you.”
“Nope. I think I’m the only one who will ever know the real story. But no worries, you have several years to come up with an alternate proposal story before your grandchildren ask about it.”
“Thank God.”
Nicole sat back in the booth. “So, now we plan a wedding.”
“Yes. Are you done doubting him?”
“Let’s just say I’ve got an open mind at the moment.”
“Good enough.”
Nicole enjoyed the next two hours as she and Tami talked about wedding plans. Her desire to call Robert was temporarily forgotten in the excitement of discussing colors, locations, and flowers. It was after six when she left the diner and waved Tami’s taxi down the street. Once again, she dialed Robert’s number.
“Hello.”
