In Between Lies (15 page)

             
Her stomach ached at
thoughts of him laying with
Savannah
, making love to her when she knew that she satisfied him completely…or so she thought. No, he had not changed his ways one bit.  After sitting outside that house for hours waiting for him to come out, she’d grown impatient and more bothered with the thought that she wasn’t enough for him
,
and never was.

             
She pulled the business card
that Richard had given her,
out of her purse. Her cell phone rang once again and she ignored it, tossing it into the passenger seat. “Ms. Savannah Summers, VP of Productions….I need to pay Exclusive Creative Solutions a visit anyway,” she s
aid out loud, speaking to a non-
existent presence. Since she lost sight of them after stopping at the light, she decided to head home. Though she had no idea where they were headed at the moment, she was pretty confident that she’d gotten
all the info she needed.  Home and
work phone numbers, and now a family members address. That was all she needed.

             
Sitting there in the middle of the bed of the dimly lit bedroom, she was in deep thought. Blinds closed, no r
adio or 
television, unplugged phone and her cell phone turned on vibrate
.
S
he contemplated what her next move would be. She felt her blood pressure slowly boil as the evening dragged on with no sign of Kevin. Knowing that he and
Savannah
were
somewhere
thoroughly enjoying each others company
,
irritated her to no end. She had no other friends that she could call to talk to that would understand her or how she felt about this situation. Her cracked out mother was now dead and her father was obsolete from the beginning. A comforting man is what she thought she needed right now.

             
Finally getting up, she made her way to the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the refrigerator. She peeped through the curtained kitchen window at her neighbors who were just getting home.  She gulped down the beer and decided she needed a steaming hot shower to relax.

             
As her warm body emerged from the shower, she reached for a towel and made the decision then to finally return Richard’s many calls. She needed a man to hold her right now and she knew he would be all too happy to oblige. 

             
“What’s up, baby,” she whispered in the phone. “Feel like giving me some company?” she asked.

             
“Why? Did you finally decide that you were tired of blowing me off?” Richard asked.

             
“I wasn’t blowing you off. I just told you how I felt at the time.”

             
“Oh yeah? So how are you feeling now?” Richard finished gulping down a large piece of pizza.

             
“I’m feeling like I really want to see you. Like right now.” Naomi emphasized. She was standing in front of her door length mirror staring back at her reflection. She dropped the towel from her and smiled at what she saw. Her taut nipples stood at attention and she was getting warm all over just thinking of the things she could do to him.

             
“And how long are you gonna be feeling like this?” he questioned. “I want to talk to you more about this anyway. I thought we had a good thing going  outside of the photography and you just changed up on me.”

             
“Talk later, just come over here and give me the business...” Naomi hesitated, then said, “please.” She hung the phone up and smiled.

             
While she waited for her maintenance man to get there, she flipped on the television to
keep her mind occupied
and off of Kevin and
Savannah
as much as possible for now.

“Where are we going?”
Savannah
asked.

             
“Just sit back baby, relax. I guarantee you will enjoy yourself.” He glanced at his watch. “Just in time,” he whispered as he pulled into a driveway entrance to a home she didn’t recognize.

             
“Who lives here? Just in time for what?”

             
He didn’t answer. He just got out and ran around to her side of the car, opened the door and invited her out.

             
“Kevin? Whose house is this?” she asked again.

             
“Can you just oblige me and not ask any
more questions. Just wait until we get inside.”

             
“Okay. I guess I can handle a surprise.” She grabbed his hand and followed behind him.

             
Kevin pulled out a set of keys and inserted one into the door and slowly opened it.
Savannah
’s interest was piqued. He had a key to this house? She felt her heart racing as she entered. A faint smell of jasmine hinted at the warm air and the atmosphere was very cozy.

             
“This house was left to me by my great grandmother.” He flipped a light switch at the hallway entrance.  

             
“It’s beautiful!”

             
“Yes, I have had some work done to it off and on to make it what it is now.”

             
“Well, I am impressed. You have done a great job.”  She dropped her hand from his grip and walked about the great room. It was warmly decorated in neutral and beige tones throughout that invited comfort and warmth. “So who stays in here? It looks so lived in.”

             
“No one, I do come her
e
on occasion when I want t
o
get away from things and people. I use this place to relax….and with that in mind…” He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms about her waist. “Come with me.” He motioned for her to follow.

             
Down at the end of the long corridor was a huge opening to a grand room that housed an exquisite, fully stocked bar, a large flat panel wall TV, and a silent bubbling Jacuzzi. Candles were already lit and a soft jazz number was playing from the hidden wall speakers.

             
“Wow, Kevin, this is just too much. When did you have all of this set up?”

             
“Don’t worry about it…let me take your jacket.”

             
She obliged and took her jacket off and headed towards the bar. “I think I will take that drink that you were offering earlier now.”

             
“No problem…”

             
He filled her glass with a smooth white wine. It warmed her body as she felt it flow through her.  She was already giddy from the excitement of being there with her newly committed boyfriend, and the alcohol put just the right finishing touches behind it.

             
Kevin slowly undressed himself, starting with his top. Unbuttoning his shirt slowly, he’d captivated her attention with his chocolate chest that expanded with every breath. He tossed the shirt on the back of a chair and came to join her for a drink. “Here let me help you,” he whispered to her as he took the wine glass. Taking her by the hand, he led her to the Jacuzzi. Beside it was a folded, large beige towel, a
n
animal print skimpy string bikini, and a single red rose. “Put that on.” He pointed to a door entrance off the side the room. “You can change in there if you want…or you can stand in here and change while I watch.”

             
Savannah
blushed. She picked up the string and opted to change in the room. “I will go in there.” Cursing the day she stopped jogging, she headed for the room mumbling and praying that it would be as flattering to her body as they both were hoping it would be. 

             
Glancing at her figure in the mirror, she was pleased that he had judged her body correctly and got the right size. Though it was a string bikini in the true sense of the word, it left absolutely nothing to the imagination. Wishing Jazzy was there to give her a ego boost, she gave herself one. It wasn’t like he’d not seen her naked before but those were times of lust and appea
rance wasn’t all that important
. This time, he would be studying her body…every nook, cranny, and crevice.

             
When she reappeared in the Jacuzzi room, Kevin was already in it. “Aw, come on… that’s not fair. I want to see all of you just as you want to see me.”

             
“Not a problem.” He rose from the tub slowly and walked towards her. The water glistened and rolled off of him like silk. His muscles were perfectly formed. He had a bad ass, rock hard body and knew it!

             
“Your turn,” he said. “Turn around baby.”

             
At that point, anything Kevin said he would have wanted, she would have given without hesitation. She slowly turned around so that he could get a good look at what he was about to get.

             
“Girl, you are blessed,” he said when she purposely rubbed her round ass against him. His voice was rough and raspy now. He pulled her closer to him, not bothering to turn her to face him and rubbed his hard body against her. She felt his hardness against her and smiled.

             
“Are we gonna make it to the tub?”

             
“Oh….we are gonna make it to the tub, but right now I just want to enjoy this moment.”

             
“Yeah, she was right. You are definitely smooth.”

             
“And you love every moment of it too.”

             
Another song came on. It was an old school jam. One of her favorites, Keith Sweat’s
Nobody
. The bass was emphasized and they both swayed to the beat of the baby making hit. Heading to the tub, they got in. Kevin sat down first and
Savannah
sat on top of him as the bubbles danced underneath, between and around them, heightening their already buzzed up bodies.

             
His warm mouth ran trails on her cheek and down her neck while his strong and demanding hands roamed about the rest of her body. One of his hands finally found the perfect resting spot right between her thighs just
below her throbbing entrance. With the
combination of his rubbing hands, his mouth on her neck and chest, and the bubbles,
Savannah
thought she would lose her mind if he didn’t hurry up and take her. She ached for him and wasn’t sure how much longer she could stand his slow deliberate touches dancing around the burning area.

             
In control of himself, Kevin delighted in giving her pleasure and watched her wiggle beneath his touch. He’d perfected his deliberate dance many times and had it down to a science. He wanted this moment to last for her, making sure that she was truly fulfilled before he went for his. A moan escaped from him as he watched her throw her head back in sweet agony.

             
“Tell me,
Savannah
…tell me what you want,” he gruffly said as he took one breast to his mouth and teased the nipple into a rock hard tip.

             
“Oh…Kev-“ Her voice caught in her throat and she was unable to answer.  All she could do was shudder and pull him even closer to her. Her grasp on him was like a vice grip, and dared him to let go. Even though she had been less and less reserved, she still was unable to verbally open up and talk and express what she wanted. What she couldn’t express in words she made up for in action.

             
Kevin grabbed the remote to the CD player and repeated the song. It was on point at that very moment and set the mood perfectly.  Kevin sang in her ear “
I want you to holler when you want me to stop…and who can love you like me nobody…who can sex you like me, nobody.
” He rubbed her down softly and continued to hum to the song.

             
Savannah
reached her point and was about scream. Her body shook in anticipation. She kissed him hard while her hands rubbed and stroked the stone hard length of him. He continued to murmur in her ear and moved his hips slowly to the beat of the music. She grabbed his bald head with her other hand and clasped his neck. The only coherent thought that played continuously through her mind was that he was going to drive her insane any minute. He was playing her body like a perfectly orchestrated instrument, and she blindly followed the beat.

             
Moving the only thin piece of fabric that was between them, he finally slid into her. She greedily welcomed him and released her breath when he began to move in her. The warm water played tricks on her body as well as he did. The warmth of the wetness only heightened and added to the pleasure. Deep and slow, like the beat of the Keith’s mesmerizing chorus, he thrust into her. Her lips quivered as she felt every bit of him in her. He began to sing low in her ear again, bringing
her
to the edge of
in
sanity. She couldn’t hold it off any longer.
