Ben waited until the last person finished their presentation before he excused himself from the table. On his way to the men’s room he made a detoured past the private dining room. Ben tried the door but it was locked and he didn’t like that at all. Not wanting to get caught he moved away from the door and headed for the restroom. The meeting should only take an hour more and then he would be free to confront Cerita and her white boy. He returned to the table just in time to see Cerita and her friend walk out of the private dining room and by the look on her face anyone could tell that a little more than just dinner had gone on behind those closed doors. It took Herculean effort not to show his emotions, but inside he was seething. The smug look on the white boy’s face was further proof that more had gone on than a mere private dinner for two. How dare she drop him with some lame excuse and then turn to a muscle bound white boy to take his place.
Dorian felt the man’s anger and immediately shielded Cerita from it. He didn’t want the bastard’s jealous anger to touch her in any way. He would have scanned the prick’s mind but if he had, Cerita would have known what he was doing by their mental link and he had a feeling that she wouldn’t be too happy. Being the devil that he was he slid his arm possessively around her waist as they walked out of the restaurant.
“Okay, do you want to tell me how we were able to get in ahead of all those people?” Cerita asked.
“Well when you are the owner you tend to have special privileges,” he responded helping her into the truck.
“You surprise me at every turn,” she confessed leaning over to give him a kiss. Her hand slid to his crouch and she cupped his cock stroking him through his pants drawing a deep moan from Dorian. When she pulled away he was dazed and his only thought was getting them to her place and with that thought in mind he broke every speeding law to reach their destination.
As soon as he had her behind the closed door of her apartment, he pulled her into his arms. His hands immediately went beneath the dress to her firm round ass. “I want this ass tonight baby.” He whispered in her ear his voice raspy with hunger. In a quick move he removed the dress. She stood before him wearing nothing but heels.
Cerita nodded her agreement unable to say a word because the thought of having his thick cock in her ass robbed her of the ability to speak.
Dorian leaned her over the kitchen counter placing her hands palms down as he positioned his body behind hers. His shirt dissolved and his pants dropped on their own accord. Dorian didn’t notice as he was focused on one goal…burying his cock into her nice tight ass.
Cerita arched her back lifting her ass higher giving him better access. She felt the thick head of his cock as he stroked it through the opening of her wet pussy lubing it with her cream. She held her breath as he worked his cock inside her anal hole and slowly slid inside her. “Come on Dorian, stop teasing me and fuck my ass!” She demanded arching and pushing back against him taking him all the way into her ass. “Yes Dorian, fuck my ass baby!”
Her words and actions snapped his control and his body took over as he began to move in and out of her tight ass.
“Damn baby, you were made for me. My cock fits every part of you so perfectly,” he said between nips at her ear. His fangs lengthened and he wanted…no needed to bite her, but…he couldn’t.
“Yes, you can, I need you to do it baby,” Cerita said with her body reacting in anticipation of his fangs sinking into her just like he’d done their first night together.
He hadn’t realized she was now a shadow in his mind as he was in hers. Just her permission to bite her caused his cock to become thicker inside her. Unable to hold back any longer he thrust deep just as he sank his fangs into her shoulder.
Red hot pleasure ripped through her as he fucked her and his fangs sank into her flesh. She thrust back in time with his forward thrusts and his feeding from her built a powerful climax ripped through her and she screamed his name.
Dorian tore his mouth away from her as his climax rushed through him and he pumped into her until he was spent. His tongue laved lazily over her shoulder closing the wound.
“I don’t know if I’ll be able to move again,” Cerita said between pants still feeling breathless.
“I’m not done with you yet baby I still need to take care of my pussy.” He promised picking her up and carrying her to her bedroom where he carried out his promise. As soon as they made it to the bed Dorian buried his thick cock into her hungry pussy drawing deep satisfied moans from both of them. He pumped in and out of her repeatedly driving her to another explosive climax that shook both of them to the core.
“I hope my neighbors aren’t too mad at us,” Cerita commented softly as she was drifting off to sleep.
Dorian smiled arrogantly at the exhausted sound of her voice. “Don’t worry I was able to shield our noise from them, so no ones the wiser.” Dorian wrapped his arms around her just before drifting off to sleep.
Cerita found a smile of her own, he was just as exhausted as she was and just as sated.
Ben tried the doorbell and frowned because he couldn’t hear the thing buzz. He knew from the couple of times he’d slept over the bell was damn loud and he’d even mentioned it to her to have the damn thing checked. Maybe she’d taken his advice since he could no longer hear it from outside her door. Ben then tried knocking on the door, hell it was after midnight and again she wasn’t answering her door or phone. He saw her car in her parking spot and wondered why she wasn’t answering. Maybe she hadn’t come home, but went home with the white boy? He thought, but decided to knock once again. When the door still wasn’t answered he left with his anger rising with each step away from her unanswered door.
Dorian looked up from the bacon he was frying to stare at his beautiful woman as she walked into the living room. She was a sight to behold wearing the pink silk slip dress and matching pumps. Her hair flowed down past her shoulders swaying just above her delectable ass.
“Stop gawking at me and finish breakfast. I need to get out of here on time so I won’t be late for church.”
Dorian gave her an innocent look, “I’m sorry but some things are out of my control. You have to give me some credit for not rushing over there and stripping you bare and making love to you where you stand.”
Cerita laughed before giving him a quick kiss.
Chapter Seven
“What is your schedule like this week?”
Cerita smiled, “You know you’ve already asked me that and I gave you a copy of my itinerary, which I left on the kitchen counter.”
Dorian chuckled, “I’m not sure what happened to it,” he said lying and she knew he was lying.
“Dorian, why are you trying to keep me on the phone?” she asked suspiciously.
“I just love hearing you talk. I can’t seem to get enough of everything about you.”
Her heart soared at his declaration. It wasn’t the words she wanted to hear, but it was enough for now. “I’m going to hang up now before you turn me into a blubbering idiot and I’ll have to explain it to my employees.”
Dorian replaced the receiver as he turned around his chair Anthony came into view. “What’s going on cuz?” Dorian asked.
Anthony walked into his cousin’s office and froze in his tracks at the sight that greeted him. Dorian was on the phone smiling like a Cheshire cat at whomever it was he was speaking to on the phone. “I should ask you since no one in the family has heard from you since the party Friday night. Auntie said she called you Saturday and didn’t get you nor have you returned her call. And today you come in to the office scaring the hell out of your secretary because you said good morning instead of your normal growl.” Anthony waited for an answer.
“I meant to give mom a call back, but I promised Cerita that I’d shut down before our dinner date so…”
Anthony leaned forward cutting him off. “She knows about your rejuvenating sleep?” he asked incredulous.
“Calm down Anthony, she isn’t a normal mortal. She has psychic abil
ities along with other powers of her own and some how she and I are connected. I don’t know how or why it is happening, but I’m drawn to her and what I feel for her is nothing like anything I’ve felt before,” Dorian confessed with a shrug.
Anthony stared at him not sure what to say or do about what his cousin had revealed to him. He had never known his cousin to be so taken with any female especially a mortal. “Have you fed from her?” He inquired. The look that came across Dorian’s face was answer enough. “Well I suppose it is time for her to be introduced to the entire family,” Anthony suggested.
“You haven’t introduced Larissa to the entire family besides, Cerita’s met the people in the family that count, my parents and yours.”
Anthony laughed, “This isn’t about me and you know for a fact that Larissa isn’t to me what Cerita appears to be to you.”
Dorian knew he was right, but he wasn’t sure Cerita was ready to learn the whole truth about their family just yet. “Roland and Thelma will be dropping the kids off on Sunday and I’ll have them for three weeks,” Dorian said changing the subject.
“Will Cerita be around to help?” Anthony asked although he knew the answer.
“Yes I had asked her to come in to make the meals for us, before anything happened between her and me. Now I’m going to ask her to stay with me at the mansion while the kids are there.” He wanted her there for longer, but wasn’t sure how receptive she would be to that suggestion.
Dorian decided it was time for him and his cousin to change the way they did business. He wasn’t sure if his meeting and falling for Cerita was the reason he’d wanted to make the change, but what he did know was he felt like an entirely different person.
Anthony stared at his cousin after he’d finished explaining how he’d wanted to change the way they were doing business. Instead of purchasing failing companies and selling them off, they would go in and help the owners turn the company around. Anthony was impressed and extremely happy with the new direction they were taking. He also knew his aunt and uncle along with his parents were going to be thrilled.
“I think we should start with the companies that are in the pipeline. Have the teams pull everything and tell us how in the red the companies are and come up with what is needed to turn the companies around.”
Anthony nodded as he jotted down notes to pass along to the teams. “How about we schedule a meeting three weeks from today as that should give the teams enough time to gather the information?” Anthony suggested.
Dorian agreed, “Once we have this information then you and I can visit the owner’s and offer our help in turning their business around.”
Anthony leaned back smiling at his cousin and best friend and he couldn’t wait to thank Cerita because he knew she was the reason for the change in Dorian.
Stephanie walked into Cerita’s office and frowned when she saw her dabbing at her eyes. “What’s wrong Cerita?” she demanded rushing to her side.
“Nothing that big lug head said the sweetest thing to me and I just don’t know how to handle it.”
Stephanie soothed her friend as she rambled on about how she didn’t want to but was falling in love with the big lug head.
“It sounds to me my friend that you’ve already fallen in love with him and it sounds like it might be mutual, but like you he is afraid to face it.”
Cerita nodded. “Well maybe we can figure things out over the next three weeks that I’ll be there with him and the kids.” Cerita dried her eyes. “Thanks for being here for me Steph.”
Stephanie smiled pulling her into a warm embrace. “Since you are going to stay at his place for the next three weeks, I think it is time for you to introduce Dorian to your brother. I can only put him off for a little while longer.”
Cerita smiled at the exasperation she heard in Stephanie’s voice, but she knew that it was forced. Stephanie loved Cedrick with her heart and soul.
Ben walked into J & J Catering, determined to get some answers out of Cerita before he left here today. Her assistant Angela met him at the front desk with a look of annoyance that only irritated him.
“What can I do for you?” she asked sarcastically.
“I need to talk to Cerita and I’m not leaving here until she sees me.”
Cerita walked out of her office stopping Angela from cutting into him. “Come on back Ben, but you’ll have to make it quick I have to leave early.”
Ben followed her into her office closing the door behind him.
“I suppose you need to leave early to meet that muscle bound white boy you were kissing at The Meadows?” Ben remarked snidely.
Cerita turned to look at him as he was a handsome black man with jet black wavy hair and a milk chocolate complexion. He had a nice lean body, but he wasn’t as muscled or broad as Dorian and he was much shorter than Dorian was too. “You and I ended over a month ago so whoever I decided to go out with is no concern of yours. Now if that is the reason you came by, I think we’ve discussed what needed to be discussed now I have to finish up before I leave for the day.”
Ben glared at her. “How can you say it is over between us? I was the best thing that ever happened to you, but you have the nerve to give me some lame excuse about it not working out because of your business taking most of your time. The business didn’t seem to be taking up the time you spent with that white boy. Hell you even let him kiss you in public, which was a despicable display in itself.” He stormed.
“Now that you’ve gotten it off of your chest I think it’s time for you to leave.” Cerita walked over to her office door and held it open for him.
Ben glared at her for a moment before he stormed out stopping before her. “This isn’t over.” He promised before leaving.
“Are you ok baby?” Dorian asked using their mental path having felt her anger rising.
“Yes, I’m fine. Ben came by and we had a few words,” she answered.
“Do you need for me to come there?”
Cerita smiled at his offer.
“No, I’ll be leaving here in a few so I’ll see you at home.”
Stephanie walked in after Ben walked out, “Is everything ok?” she asked.
“Yes, he’s just pissed because he saw Dorian and me Saturday night at The Meadows. I think he had the impression I would just take a few weeks to come to my senses and crawl back to him since he was the best thing that has ever happened to me.”
They both broke into fits of laughter at the man’s audacity. Both women were surprised to find Cedrick standing in the doorway staring at them as if they’d lost their minds.
“What are you doing here big brother?” Cerita asked walking over to give him a big kiss.
“I came to take Stephanie to her doctor’s appointment. Was that Ben I saw speeding out of here?” Cedrick asked.
“Yes, he came to tell me he was the best thing that had ever happened to me and I was nothing without him.”
Cedrick lifted an eyebrow when they started laughing again.
“Apparently he was giving Cerita time to come to her senses and when he saw her the other night with Dorian at The Meadows, it was the last straw,” Stephanie added. She accepted the big hug and kiss her husband gave her loving the way her body molded perfectly to his.
Cerita smiled, loving the way their love shone between them, and wondered if she would ever have that.
“I’d like to think that we could.”
She smiled at his words and felt the warmth he was sending her.
“I think you may be right. I’m willing to give it a chance if you are,” she responded back.
“Damn right I’m willing to give it my all to make it work. Why don’t you invite your brother and sister-in-law over for dinner tonight?” Dorian suggested.
Cerita looked up to find her brother and sister-in-law staring at her. “Sorry, Dorian wanted to know if you guys would like to come over for dinner tonight.”
“Are you communicating with him mentally?” Cedrick asked.
Cer
ita nodded and Cedrick thought that he was going to pass out. He needed to get his parents home as soon as possible. “Yeah, we’d love to have dinner with you guys tonight,” he answered while his mind reeled by the implications.
Stephanie kept a close eye on Cedrick because she knew the revelation that Cerita and Dorian were connected mentally was very disturbing to him. She knew it was because she was his baby sister and he wanted what was best for her. Stephanie was happy that he was going in to this dinner with an open mind and she also knew that once he saw the way Cerita and Dorian acted towards each other he would be better at ease.
“I doubt it,” Cedrick said.
Stephanie smiled as she knew that as always he was a shadow in her mind just as she was in his. Which is how she knew he would be happy for Cerita knowing that she’d found someone who would love and care for her and protect her from anyone that meant to do her harm.
Dorian watched Cerita flitter around the room checking and rechecking everything. He knew that it was all due to nervousness about him meeting her big brother but her worry didn’t bother him because he knew it was only natural. He walked up behind her and pulled her body up against his. “Honey, you’ve checked the pots and place settings twenty times at least. Now why don’t you give it a rest I can certainly give you something else to think about to take you mind off of your brother.”
She gave him a kiss that promised to rock his world. He growled deep in his chest just as she moaned when his hand reached down to stroke her thigh inching up towards his treasure. The doorbell chimed causing him to growl again and this time it wasn’t in pleasure.
