Independent Women - the Complete BWWM Romance Series Boxset (27 page)

She removed her dress and walked out in just her lingerie and heels. When he saw her his eyes lit up.

“That wig looks amazing on you,” he said.

She smiled, “What do you think about the rest?” she turned around to give him a full view.

“It looks great, you look great,” he said nervously.

“So are you ready for some role play?”

“Actually, just seeing you in that wig is more than enough for me.” He walked over to her and kissed her deeply. His level of aggression went up a few notches, he was super turned on.  She gasped as he pressed his mouth against hers. Heat radiated off of him, it was then that she realized that he removed his shirt. For some reason it didn’t catch her eye before, he looked exactly how she thought that he would look. He was toned but not muscular.

His mouth left her long enough for him to unclasp her bra, remove it and toss it to the side. Crystal reached for him again, if the way that he kissed was any indication of his bedroom skills then she needed to get to the good stuff because he knew what he was doing. His hand closed over her bare breast, massaging her flesh, his thumb bushed across her nipple. A shockwave of pleasure shot through her and she pressed herself to him, holding him tight.

“You’re so sexy, sunshine,” he said lovingly.

His gaze was intense and intimate. She was mildly confused; it was a level of intimacy that was usually reserved for people that you knew a lot better. He was a very passionate person, so she went with the flow.

He shoved her panties over her hips and onto the floor and then pulled her to him again, giving her the impression that he didn’t want to let her go for more than a few seconds. He couldn’t get enough of her, she was flattered.

Their lips met again, she did her best to meet his level of passion by pouring all of her wants and needs into that kiss. She unbuttoned his pants, unzipped them, and pushed them to the floor. His huge erection poked out from his boxers.

“Oh thank heaven,” she said.

He laughed, “I’m assuming it’s enough for you?”

“I can work with this,” she grinned.

He stepped back and rid  himself of his pants and boxers.

“Condom,” she gently reminded him.

“I’m prepared.” He reached over onto the bed and grabbed the condom that he’d placed there while she was in the bathroom. He opened the foil package  and sheathed himself in latex.

He pushed her onto the bed and spread her legs. He rubbed his cock slowly up and down her damp pussy. She impatiently shifted against him; she wanted him inside of her. She reached between them and guided it inside of her. She pushed her hips towards him to meet the thick glide of his dick, her eyes closing as he filled her. Arousal caused her pulse to race, it was what she needed. It was like a sweet drug that she’d been without for far too long.

“You feel so good baby,” he said as he looked at her intensely.

“You feel good too,” she moaned as he pulled back and dove into her again.

“Call me Georgie, call me Georgie,” he panted.

“Umm , Georgie,” Crystal said as she stifled a giggle. If he didn’t feel so good inside of her then she would have laughed at him in his face. Who calls a grown man Georgie?

He pulled out of her and motioned for her to get on all fours. She turned over and pressed her face against the pillow, her rear pointed up enticingly at him.

“Perfect,” he groaned before he pushed deep inside of her.

“Fuuuccckkk, you feel so damned good. I’ve missed this pussy,” he said.

“Huh?” She said as he pushed deep inside of her, hitting her g-spot. She moaned loudly and pressed back against him. He slapped her ass and impaled her repeatedly. Her orgasm was close; his dick hit all of her secret places. Her body shook and trembled as he fucked her with an intensity that she hadn’t experienced in a long time.

“I’m gonna cum, sunshine,” he panted.

“I’m cumming with you!” she said.

He took quick short strokes, the sounds of their flesh slapping reverberated throughout the room. It was more than enough to take her over the edge. He joined her in ecstasy with a loud growl, “OOOoooooooh
Brittany!” he said before he collapsed onto her.

Crystal froze when he called her another name. “What did you just call me?” she asked.

“Oh god. I’m so embarrassed,” he said before he quickly jumped up from the bed and went into the bathroom.

Crystal was confused, what in the hell just occurred? She got up and looked for her undergarments. It was then that she looked on his dresser at a photo. There was a picture of a beautiful African American woman with auburn hair. On the picture frame it said ‘Sunshine’. She was willing to bet that it was his wife. She looked on his nightstand and saw a photo of him and the same woman in an embrace.

He emerged from the bathroom and was going to try to explain, but she stopped him.

“You don’t have to say anything. I’m going to put on my clothes, call a cab, and wait in your front room until it arrives.”

He simply nodded.

#Chapter7

“See now I’m going to have to kick your ass.”

Kalena

“I’m so ready for a night out with my girls!” Crystal said excitedly as she stood in Tamika’s bathroom with Kalena and Tamika.

“I know, I have a lot to tell the both of you,” Kalena said.

“Oooh, I can’t wait to hear but don’t spill the dirt until we’re at the lounge,” Crystal said, “You all know that I have a story too.”

“Do I even want to know?” Tamika asked as she applied her ruby lipstick.

Crystal laughed, “I had to go through it, so I’m going to share my damned story, but I’ll need a few drinks first. This one was definitely much stranger than normal.”

“Here you go, I swear the fun with you never ends,” Kalena said.

“You already know how I am, I love men,” Crystal said innocently.

“You don’t have to love all of them though,” Tamika scolded, “How are you going to find anyone worth something if you’re out acting crazy.”

“Umm when did you become my mother?” Crystal asked.

Tamika rolled her eyes, but she backed off. She didn’t have the right to judge anyone considering everything that she’d been through. Her attitude had been a little more pronounced than normal because she wasn’t very happy with the way that her life was going. “You’re right, I’m gonna be quiet.”

“You don’t have to be quiet, I understand why you’re giving me attitude and I love you anyway.” Crystal placed a kiss on her friend’s face.

“Okay enough with the mushy stuff! Let’s get out of here,” Kalena said impatiently.

“You don’t have to rush us,” Tamika said, “You’re just being a lush. If you want some alcohol you can hit up the bar in the dining area.”

“No,” Kalena said, “I want my drink to me served to me by a fine ass man.”

They all laughed and exited the bathroom. Tamika went to look for her keys, but they weren’t in the normal place. She checked her coat pockets, turned her purse inside out, and searched her room.

“What have you done with your car keys?” Kalena asked.

Tamika replied, “I don’t know and I’m tired of looking for them. Reggie got a ride from one of his friends so we can just take his car. I’m gonna grab his spare out of the room.”

She went to their nightstand, grabbed his keys and joined her friends, “Okay ladies, let’s get the hell out of here.”

“It’s about time,” Kalena mumbled.

“What was that?” Tamika asked her.

“Nothing,” Kalena giggled, “You know I love you.”

“Mmmhmm,” she replied.

Ten minutes later they were at a gas station.

“Damn did Reggie have to leave the tank on empty, though?” Crystal asked. “I should have driven.”

“Oh hush, it’s only setting us back about 10 minutes.”

“I should have hit up your bar at the house,” Kalena said as she checked her reflection in the passenger visor. She was getting a pimple on her chin, she inhaled quickly when she saw it. “Oh my god! Look at my damned face. I don’t get zits, I’m too old for this shit.”

“Girl, adults lied to us. Pimples are forever but when you get them on your chin that usually means that you’re stressed. Are you alright?”

Tamika got out of the car and started to pump the gas.

“Yeah I guess, I’m okay. Having my mom at home is driving me a little cray cray but it’s nothing that I can’t handle.” Kalena pulled out her lipstick and began to reapply it.

“Maybe Tommy isn’t hitting it right,” Crystal said with a giggle from the back of the car.

Her comment made Kalena drop her lipstick onto the floor, “See, now I’m going to have to kick your ass.”

“I struck a nerve huh?” Crystal said, “You just need Tommy to come over and stroke it right, that will clear up your pimple.”

“Sex isn’t the cure for everything.”

“It’s the cure for zits, give it a try,” she laughed.

“Whatever girl.” Kalena leaned over and searched for her lipstick. She couldn’t find it, it most likely rolled beneath the seat. “If I can’t find my lipstick, you’re going to get me another one.”

“Just keep looking, it didn’t disappear,” Crystal said.

Kalena groaned, “I can’t see shit, it is too dark in here.” She opened the door and stepped out so that the light would come on and she would have better access.

She leaned over and found her lipstick it was leaning against something. She looked closely and saw that it was a gun, “Oh shit!” she said. She grabbed her lipstick and looked over the hood of the car in alarm at Tamika.

“What’s wrong with you?” Tamika asked.

Kalena whispered loudly, “Did you know that there was a gun in the car?”

“What?” she asked in alarm.

“There is a gun in the car Tamika,” Kalena said quickly.

“No way,” Tamika said when she walked over to Reggie’s side.

She reached below the seat and her hands touched the cold back steel. She pulled it out and stared at it.

“What the hell!” Crystal said in alarm, “Put it down!”

Tamika’s hands began to shake. She didn’t know what to do. Where did the gun come from? Why did Reggie have a gun in his car?

Crystal said it again slowly, “Put the gun back beneath the seat.”

Tamika did as she suggested and got back into the driver’s side. She was no longer in the mood to party, “I’m sorry ladies, I need to go home and call my husband. I can take the both of you home if you like.”

“You can drop me off at Crystal’s I’m going to spend the night,” Kalena said.

“When was I going to find this information out?” Crystal asked.

“You just did,” Kalena smiled.

“Whatever, you know you’re always welcomed.”

“Are you going to be okay?” Kalena asked Tamika.

“I don’t know. I just don’t understand why he owns a gun. To my knowledge he doesn’t have a license for a gun, so it would have to be one that he got illegally. We’re in the car with an illegal fucking gun. I’m going to kill him.”

“Just don’t do it with the gun,” Crystal said, “I’ll bail you out but I really don’t want to, I’m trying to save for my retirement.”

Tamika tried to laugh, but it didn’t work very well, “I’m just so pissed right now. He knows how I feel about this kind of shit. What if I dropped it and it went off? Anything could have happened! I don’t like guns at all and he knows that.”

“There has to be a good explanation for it.” Kalena tried to soothe her friend.

“There is no excuse. I don’t know what the hell has been going on with him lately, but I’m tired of all of the bullshit and the drama. I didn’t sign up for this. All I want is some peace. He’s been lying to me and now there is a gun in his car? What kind of shit is he into?”

Everyone was quiet, her rhetorical question hung in the air. Neither of her friends knew how to answer.

***

Reggie walked into his house; he was in a good mood. He hung out with some guys from his new firm and things were going great. He felt at home already. They even sent a limo to come pick him up, he could get used to that kind of lifestyle. He drank brandy and smoked cigars while talking sex and politics all night.

He couldn’t wait to see his wife, “Babe? Are you here?” He said.

“I’m in the living room,” she said.

He walked into the living area, he smiled brightly when he saw her but it was quickly erased when he looked at her demeanor. She looked absolutely pissed.

“What’s wrong babe?” he asked.

Her gaze went to the coffee table. In the center of it lay his gun. His entire world tilted off of its axis. This was yet another stupid thing that he’d done.

“I can explain,” he said.

“So it’s yours?”

“Yes it’s mine.”

“You had the intention on using it?”

“Only for protection,” he said.

“Protection? What kind of protection? Do I even want to know?”

“After everything that happened with Paul, I felt like I needed to carry something with me.”

“What happened to Paul was random, so why would you need to carry a gun?”

A look of guilt crossed Reggie’s face.

“It was random, right?” Tamika said.

Reggie’s silence told her all that she needed to know.

“I’m so sorry. There is a lot that I need to talk to you about.”

She shook her head, “No. The time to talk to me has passed. Get your gun, get your shit, and get out.”

“Baby…”

“No! I’m done. You’re putting me and your family in danger. Your brother was attacked! Am I next? Should I be looking over my shoulder?”

“Baby, I just want to make sure that you’re safe.”

“Oh my god. What have you done? Does it have something to do with how you’ve been getting
money?”

“Baby…”

“Leave now. Go to a hotel, go to one of your friend’s houses, go to the ghetto where maybe you have a girlfriend, just go. I don't want to see you.”

Reggie’s heart broke. He’d never seen Tamika look at him the way that she was at that moment. She’d lost all hope in him. As soon as one thing started to get in place, another part of his life fucked up. He was defeated.

“Look I can see you are mad and need some space. I’ll go to a hotel tonight, and I’ll be back in the morning so that we can talk. I promise you I can explain everything.”

Tamika stood up and headed towards the room, “Bye, Reggie.”
