Shauntie felt Nash’s ever-present erection brushing against the lower part of her back. How was it possible for him to always be ready to go? Didn’t he ever get tired?
“Sapphire and Emerald were nice enough to let me reschedule our lunch for a later time. They’re going to have questions when they get here. Come on, why don’t you get dressed? I love seeing your amazing body naked, but I’m not the type who’ll share its beauty with my girlfriends.”
“I guess I have to since it doesn’t seem like I’m going to talk you back into getting naked for a quickie.” Nash continued to hold her eyes with a hopeful look in his.
“Baby, stop looking at me like you’ll change my mind. I’m going to lunch and you’ll get dressed.” Spinning around, Shauntie planted a kiss at the corner of Nash’s mouth. “Be good now and I’ll be good to you later.” She tried to walk past Nash, but he grabbed her by the waist and placed her on the dresser behind them.
His hand quickly eased under her dress and slipped into her underwear.
“Nash, what are you doing?” Shauntie squeaked as two of his fingers slipped inside of her.
“I’m just making you as hot for me as I am for you,” he admitted, working his fingers in and out of her at a steady pace that had Shauntie almost near a quick orgasm. Just as she was at the edge, Nash removed his fingers from her body along with her white thong.
“What in the hell?” she snapped. “You can’t leave me like this! Finish what you started.”
“Hey, if I can’t get any, neither can you, Dr. Kane.” Nash waved her underwear in front of her face. “I think I’ll keep these. I need something to tie me over until we meet up later tonight.”
Shauntie’s mouth dropped open when Nash sauntered away from her and proceeded to get dressed. Once he finally worked the zipper of his jeans over his massive erection, he shoved her underwear into the front pocket and reached for his shirt on the bed.
“I can’t believe you,” Shauntie complained. “At least help me off the dresser so I can get another pair of underwear!”
Walking back over to her, Nash picked up her and placed her feet back down on the floor.
“I’ll pay you back later for that little stunt.” Going over to her underwear drawer, Shauntie opened it. As she was reaching for another white thong the doorbell rang. “Shit! I can’t answer the door with no underwear on.”
“Hey, I got it,” Nash said as he picked up his shirt off the bed. “I’ve been waiting to meet your girlfriends anyway.” Nash hurried out of the bedroom before she could stop him.
Chapter Eighteen
“Hello ladies.” Nash grinned at the two stunned women standing on Shauntie’s front porch. He was sure they almost got whiplash from how fast their heads swung back at each other, down at the t-shirt still in his hand and then up to his face. He guessed they weren’t used to having a shirtless man open Shauntie’s door.
“Where’s Shauntie?” the shorter woman demanded “Who in the hell are you?”
“Nash, how are you doing?” The taller woman asked him gaining his attention.
Nash stared at her a few minutes before it dawned on him where he knew her from. “Hello, Sapphire. You work with my sister right? I didn’t make the connection when Shauntie mentioned your name earlier. She’s in the bedroom getting dressed. She wanted to tell you to come on in.” Stepping back, he gave Shauntie’s friends enough room to come inside.
Nash shut the front door and then finished getting dressed while Sapphire and her friend watched him closely. “You’re partially right. Your sister is the one who works for me. She’s one of my dental assistants. I was the one who recommended you to work on Shauntie’s roof.”
“Looks like he’s working on more than Shauntie’s roof,” the shorter woman mumbled under her breath, but Nash heard her anyway.
“Emerald, shut up.” Sapphire looked down at her friend then back at him. “I guess you’re the reason Shauntie moved our lunch date,” she teased him. “She was busy doing other things so food wasn’t on her mind.”
Nash blushed. He wasn’t used to being on the hot seat. Sapphire was a very outspoken woman just like Shauntie. A part of him wondered how the two of them even became friends. .
“I’m guilty as charged,” he grinned. “I wanted to spend some extra time with Shauntie since I won’t be seeing her until later on tonight.”
“Shauntie never told us she was seeing you,” Emerald piped in as she took a seat on the couch. “How long have the two of you been going out? She usually tells us about everything going on in her life. You’re a total surprise that Sapphire and I weren’t expecting this afternoon.”
“Emerald, will you stop with all of the questions before you scare Nash away,” Shauntie complained as she walked into the living room and stood next to him.
Bending now, Nash gave Shauntie a quick kiss. “Hey, I didn’t mind the questions. I’m glad your friends are concerned about you,” he said against her soft lips.
The alluring scent of Shauntie’s perfume surrounded her delicious body making him think about carrying her back down the hallway into the bedroom, but he couldn’t.
Her girlfriends were already here and from the look Emerald was shooting him she wanted him to get the hell out of here, so she could drill Shauntie. They both probably wanted to know what was going on and he couldn’t blame them. Brian and Chance would treat Shauntie the same way.
“Baby, I’m going to leave. I need to take care of some stuff at home. I’ll probably call Brian and Chance over later to watch some football. You can stop by if you want to. I wouldn’t mind having you there at all.”
“I’ll think about it,” Shauntie said, smiling at him. “But you go and have some fun. Don’t get too caught up in the game.”
Nash gave Shauntie another kiss on the mouth and then stepped back. He hated to stop, but he couldn’t do any more with an attentive audience of two in the room watching his every move.
“Bye sweetheart,” he whispered, staring into her eyes. “I’ll see you later.” He was falling hard for Shauntie. Being with her last night only cemented their connection in his mind. There was no way Shauntie was going to get away from him now.
“Bye Nash,” her silky voice answered making his cock semi-hard. “Have fun with your friends.”
God...he had to get out of here and fast before he humiliated himself and Shauntie in the process.
“Ladies, it was nice to meet you. Have a good time at your lunch.” Nash waved at Sapphire and Emerald before he turned around and went out the door closing it behind him.
****
“Why didn’t you tell us you were dating him?” Emerald questioned the second the door closed behind Nash. “He’s hotter than hell. What happened to that speech you gave us about not wanting a working man in your life? I mean for someone who wasn’t interested in getting involved you picked the best man not to be involved with. You already have your man for Christmas.”
Shauntie wasn’t thinking about Emerald’s plan last night when she and Nash were making love. Her mind was totally into how good he was making her feel after such a long dry spell in her bed. Nash proved more than once he wasn’t faking his interest in her. She almost couldn’t keep up with him the last time.
Why had she even agreed to lunch today with Sapphire and Emerald when she could barely form a thought in her head? Lunch was going to be long and less enjoyable than she wanted because Emerald wasn’t going to let this thing with Nash go.
“How about we head out of here?” Shauntie suggested. “We can talk about this more when we get to the restaurant.”
“Shauntie, do you really think Emerald will stop with her questions? You’re in for a twenty question marathon. You know how she can get when our girl finds something interesting to get involved with. She’s a like a hungry dog with a bone.”
“Hey, I don’t like being compared to a dog. All I was doing was showing concern about the half-naked man who opened Shauntie’s door. We all know her love lif
e has been dry as the Sierra desert. I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Yes, Nash is a beautiful looking man, but I don’t want his face and killer body to sway Shauntie’s judgment.”
“Whoa, weren’t you the one who was screaming at me about being the fun police,” Shauntie chastised. “Now that I’m having fun with a guy you want me to stop. Won’t that go against your ‘find a guy before the holiday’ plan?”
Sapphire laughed and Emerald shot her a look. “Can’t I show some maturity sometimes?” she asked. “I was only looking out for you, that’s all. You’ve been out of the dating field for so long that I wasn’t sure if you knew how to handle Nash.”
Shauntie perked up at Emerald’s off-handed comment. “Emerald, I might have been working excessive hours lately, but I haven’t forgotten how to deal with a good-looking man. Nash and I are getting along just fine. I don’t need you to worry about us.”
“Is Nash your boyfriend now?” Sapphire teased. “Did he give you his class ring or football jacket?”
“Very funny, Sapphire,” Shauntie said, giving her friend a sharp look. “Will the two of you please stop teasing me?”
“Nope, we don’t think that we can.” Emerald got up off the couch and came to her. “You’re so easy to get all fired up. I’m glad you’re doing the mattress dance with Nash. It’s about time you got sweaty by doing something else besides planting those flowers you love so much.”
Shock flew through Shauntie. God...Emerald sure didn’t know how to hold her tongue. “Emerald, if we hadn’t been friends for so long I would take your comment as an insult.”
“You shouldn’t. You know how I am. I’ll give you my opinion even if you don’t think you need to hear it,” Emerald admitted. “I’d tell Sapphire the same thing. No one is safe from me. I should start an advice column like Dear Abby only more diverse.”
“How about we leave?” Sapphire cut in. “I can listen to the two of you complain while I drive us to the restaurant. I’m starving for Mr. Lee’s.”
“Why didn’t you tell us ten minutes ago that you wanted Mr. Lee’s?” Shauntie complained, snatching up her purse off the table. “I love the shrimp rolls there. Let’s hit the road.” She went towards the door with Sapphire and Emerald behind her.
Chapter Nineteen
Taking a bite of the shrimp roll, Shauntie allowed the sweet fried taste to evaporate onto her tongue. Hands down Mr. Lee had the best Japanese food in town; it was one of her favorite hot spots to hit when she needed to clear her head.
“God, I love this place. I could come here twice a week if I had enough free time to get away from work,” she said, placing her half-eaten shrimp roll back onto her plate.
“You’re right,” Emerald agreed before taking a bite of her BBQ pork with rice.
“Ladies, we didn’t come here to talk about food.” Sapphire wiped her mouth with her napkin placing it at the side of her plate. “I believe we were going to continue the conversation we were having about Shauntie and her man Nash. What’s going on with the two of you? Was that the first time you invited him for a sleep over?”
Emerald chuckled. “I wanted to know the same thing, but I wasn’t sure how to ask her. Thanks for doing it for me, Sapphire.”
Shauntie glared at both of her girlfriends hating they had caught Nash still at her house. She had wanted a moment or two to enjoy the afterglow of being with him. Last night hadn’t been planned which made the sex even better. Nash showed her that he knew how to work more than his hands and mouth last night. The entire day was fantastic and different, something she looked forward to anytime she went out on a date, but usually fell pretty short.
“I’m not going to tell either one of you everything that happened between Nash and myself after we came home from our date. Sapphire, you and Emerald already saw for yourselves this morning that Nash spent the night with me. What else do you need to know?” she questioned.
“You’re doing us so wrong,” Emerald complained, watching her. “You’re leaving out the best part. Come on, give us details! Something good must have happened on your date with Nash that you insist he spend the night with you. Unless you’re telling us he spent the night in one of your many guests room.”
Shooting draggers at her friend, Shauntie pushed her plate away from her. She was so ecstatic that she had driven her car to the restaurant instead of riding with these two. She could only imagine what would come out of their mouths if she had asked them to drop her off at Nash’s house instead of hers.
“No, Nash didn’t stay in the guest room. Stop acting silly.” She sighed. “Why would I send him out of my bed? I needed what Nash had to offer last night.”
“You bet you did. Now, you have this glow about you. I like this new look on you. Keep doing what you’re doing. It looks really great on you.” Sapphire grinned at her. “Does this mean when you find your man you’re going to tell us all about how it was to make love to him? “I believe you’re the one next in line to find Mr. Holiday for yourself. New Years Eve will be here before you know it. Time is running out for you.”
“I know time is running out and I’m not going to lose our little bet,” Sapphire promised. “I already have a plan in mind how to get his attention. Monday morning, I’m going to strike up a conversation with him. I’ll call you and let you know what happens.”
“Sounds like you’re a woman with her own plan.” Shauntie smiled. “You sound much more confident now than you did the last time we talked to each other. What changed your mind?”
Leaning back in her chair, Sapphire crossed her legs while the slight breeze blew her long, dark hair around her shoulders. “I took your advice. I was being too scared of the unknown. I was worrying about something that hadn’t even happened yet. How do I know what his answer will be until I ask him out on a date?”
Shauntie was impressed with the abrupt change in Sapphire. Emerald’s plan didn’t seem so stupid now since everything seemed to be moving so smoothly and working out pretty well.
The thought of having Nash around her for Christmas actually didn’t scare the hell out of her. She was looking forward to spending some extra time with Nash and getting to know more about what made him tick.
“So, Emerald, that just leaves you. Have you found anyone yet? Truthfully, you’ve been pretty quiet since all of this started.” Shauntie thought Emerald would be the first one out of the three of them to already have her man all lined up.
Emerald picked at the remaining food on her plate before she pushed it away from her. “Guys, I haven’t seen any possibilities at all. I’m getting very irritated that the two of you found men so fast when it was my idea. What am I supposed to do?”
“Valentine’s Day is a long way off,” Sapphire pointed out as Shauntie glanced at her watch. “Your man is probably right around the corner. Have a little more patience. Remember this little game of yours is supposed to be for fun and not competition.”
“I agree,” Shauntie cut in. Opening up her purse, she grabbed some money tossing it on the table. She wanted to go by Nash’s house before she went home and started getting her schedule ready for work on Monday. She still hadn’t taken any time to look over the patients’ files she’d bought back to her home the other day.
“Ladies, I hate to eat and run, but I promised Nash I would stop by his house after our lunch. I need to see him because the rest of the day I’ll be at home reading over patients’ files. There’s my third of the meal along with a tip for the waiter.” Getting up from the table, Shauntie pushed in her chair.
“I’m so happy to see you this excited about Nash.” Sapphire smiled at her. “Go ahead and leave. Emerald and I can take care of the rest. Besides, I can go ahead and get your Christmas gift with Emerald. We can take the rest of the day since neither one of us has to be at work.”
Emerald spoke up giving Shauntie some advice. “Just remember to be safe and not let him think he’s the one in control. I know one thing for sure, men love a little mystery when it comes to a woman,”
“Okay, Ms. Relationship 101.” Shauntie laughed, looked at Emerald who winked at her then grinned. “I’ll try to keep that in my mind while I’m at Nash’s house. I’ll talk to the two of you later.” She turned and walked away, heading for her car.
Chapter Twenty
Nash pulled Shauntie into his arms the second his front door opened, and planted a kiss on her mouth. “Do you know how much I’ve missed you today?” he asked, tugging her into his house and kicking the door closed. “I thought you’d never get here after you called asking for directions to my house.”
Pushing her against the wall, he kissed her deeply tugging her arms above her head. “All I’ve been thinking about all day is how you left me hard and horny for your sexy body. I wasn’t even able to enjoy the football game because of you. Brian and Chance left early to finish watching the last quarter of the game at a sports bar.”
“I missed you too,” Shauntie confessed. “I couldn’t get away from my lunch fast enough either. I couldn’t get the idea of you out of my head. Is it wrong for us to be this attracted to each other? We went from zero to a hundred in less than a week. Maybe we should put the brakes on things and take a step back.”
Nash felt the comment like a punch to his gut. Easing back a little from Shauntie, he stared down at her, confused. “Are you telling you’re regretting what we did last night and this morning?”
Grabbing him by the shirt, Shauntie tugged him back to her. “No, I just wanted to see the look on your face. I couldn’t let you think you’d seduced me that fast. A girl has to play a little hard to get sometimes.” She grinned at him. “Now, how about we get back to what we were doing?”
“Oh, I’m going to make you pay for that little stunt, Dr. Kane. I’ll have you screaming my name once I get you naked on my bed.”
“I’ve heard that promise before and I haven’t met a man yet who has lived up to it,” she tossed back.
