My Kind of Girl (17 page)

“
I need to tell you
something,” he said on the side of her neck as he nibbled and
tugged on her skin.

“
What?”

“
I need to tell you why I
stopped us from going any further the other night.”

“
Well, it sure as hell
wasn’t because you didn’t have any condoms.”

He jerked his head up and gazed at her
with a sly smile. “And how do you know that?”

Shoot. I wasn’t supposed
to say that.

“
Um … I kinda opened a
drawer and saw them, but in my defense Caitlyn had me convinced you
had some kind of sex slave room considering I saw that whip and
handcuffs.”

“
Uh huh. Cute. No, dimples,
I don’t have a sex slave room, and the toys didn’t belong to me.
I’m not the black Christian Grey.”

“
Sooooo … you aren’t mad at
me?”

“
No. I’m glad you told me.
I sort of figured you must’ve seen them considering when I went
into the drawer a moment ago, I noticed one of the boxes was turned
a different way. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m sort of a neat
freak and everything has its place. That’s my OCD.”

“
I’ve noticed. So what do
you want to tell me?”

“
The reason why I stopped
us from going any further is because I needed to make sure I didn’t
have any STD’s.”

She wasn’t expecting that answer at
all. “Oh. Do you?” Her heart beat sped up as she awaited his
answer.

“
No. I had my test on
Monday and it came back yesterday. I’m good, but I just wanted to
make sure before we went any further. I would hate to lose you over
something like that.”

“
Have you ever … I mean …
you’ve …”

“
Yes, when I was in
college. It was curable, thank goodness. I was stupid, didn’t use a
condom, and … well, let’s just say after my father gave me a
penicillin shot, we had a man to man conversation. I’ve used
condoms ever since, but I still get paranoid and so every six
months or so I get tested for everything.”

“
Well, I just had my yearly
pap a few months ago so I’m good. Of course, I haven’t had sex in
who knows when, but I still have the STD panel done during my exam
since Raven always insists.”

He placed his hands on either side of
her face. “Now do you understand why I wanted to wait?”

“
I do, and I thank you for
that. A lot of men don’t care or even think about such
things.”

“
So now tell me your
reasons for not wanting to see me again.”

Her brow creased. “I’ve already told
you.”

“
No, you never gave a clear
reason.”

She sighed for she knew she hadn’t. “I
just think its best that we don’t see each other anymore because
you love your single life, and I want more than just a
fling.”

“
So do I, and have from the
moment I laid eyes on you.”

“
You may change your mind
one day.”

“
Are your dimples going
away?”

“
No.” She tried to muffle a
smile but couldn’t. He always had a smooth way to make her do
exactly what he wanted.

“
Then neither am I.” He
kissed each dimple as she giggled.

“
Okay, we’ll try it your
way. Keep in mind, if you hurt me my brother is in the Army, and
even though I’m the oldest, he doesn’t play when it comes to his
baby sister.”

“
I have three sisters …
trust, I understand.”

Lifting himself off of the couch while
she was still clinging to him, he carried her to the outdoor bed.
He laid her down on it and proceeded to close the
sheers.

“
We’re outside,” she
reminded.

“
And?” he asked, pulling
her legs around his waist and staring down at her.

Goodness he was riveting and yes, she
wanted him, but … “You have neighbors.”

His brow raised and a cocky grin
inched up his left cheek. “You’ve noticed the ten foot tall, brick
privacy fence surrounding my backyard, right?”

“
I may get a little loud,”
she whispered.

“
There’s no
may
about it. You
will
get loud, but my
neighbors behind me are in New York for the rest of the month. The
house on the right is for sale and vacant. The house on the left is
an half an acre away and the teenagers usually play their music or
video games so loud I totally doubt they can hear anything outside
of their house.”

“
Well, in that case—” she
started, but couldn’t finish as he lowered his lips to
hers.

Chapter
Eleven

Sean placed hard yet tender kisses
down Traci’s neck until he reached the first button of her shirt.
He teased his tongue along the top her cleavage and slid it back
around her collarbone as sensational moans sighed out of her mouth.
Her hands roaming over him were knocking him out of the sensual
state he was trying desperately stay in. He wanted to take it slow
in order to savor every inch of her delectable body. He lifted his
head and stared down at her fire-filled eyes. Heck, he’d already
experienced her body and had discovered some of her turn on spots
when he’d given her the body massage.

On that note, Sean ripped open her
shirt as the buttons popped and scattered onto the pergola floor.
Her sexy giggle informed him he’d made the best decision. Shoving
her bra out of the way, he sank his lips on her hard nipple
relishing in its tautness.

“
I’ll buy you a new
blouse,” he said in-between kissing and sucking her breasts that
he’d missed. “And anything else you want.” Reaching his hand around
her back, he unsnapped her bra in one flick followed by pulling off
her shirt.

“
I just want you,” she
breathed out. “Only you.”

Sliding his hand down to her khaki
shorts, he unbuttoned them as her hand rested on his. At first he
thought she was going to stop him, but instead she unzipped the
shorts. Lifting her bottom off of the bed a tad, she pulled them
down along with her panties. He sat up on his knees and finished
yanking them off along with her shoes and socks.

“
Your body is exquisite. I
can’t wait to give you another massage but not now. I need to be
one with you.”

Sitting up, she reached out to his
belt. “Well, hurry up then.”

Sean snickered at her demand. It was
cute, but she’d soon learn who was in control.

Standing on the side of the bed, he
pulled a few condoms from his back pocket and tossed them on the
coverlet. He noted the raise of her eyebrow and he bent down to
kiss her while he finished unbuttoning his shirt. Her tongue
swirling with his was making it hard to concentrate as he fumbled
with the buttons. Swatting his hands away, she ripped opened his
shirt and whispered ‘now we’re even.’ She wrestled it over his arms
and tossed it with his other clothes. Placing kisses along his
chest, Traci tugged him by the shoulders until he was on top of
her. Wrapping her legs around his waist, Sean grabbed one of the
condom packets and opened it. Once he was secured, he kissed her
lightly on the lips as he slowly entered her. She gasped out and
wiggled her hips until he was all the way in. She clutched his
shoulders as he began to slide in and out of her at a steady pace.
He was basking in her essence as he became immersed inside of her
body and soul. Her muscles clenched around him, contracting and
nestling around him tighter. Her head was buried in his chest, but
he could still hear her pleasure-filled moans.

Lifting her legs up higher to his
shoulders, he held her hands to the bed and delved in deeper as her
trusting eyes never left his face. She began to raise her hips and
meet his thrusts that increased the more she called out of his
name. His name synced along with the seductive moans she screeched
out increased his addictiveness to her even more. He was pleased
with the way her body responded to his. They were in complete
accord with each other. Their tongues, fingers, legs, and hearts
were intertwined together as the intensity of their lovemaking
amplified as each second passed.

Sean sensed his climax was near
especially when she twisted under him and panted his name as her
eyes rolled back. Her chest heaved up and down while her body shook
the entire daybed as if an earthquake had just hit Memphis.
However, it was her releasing an orgasm around him. Her muscles
clenching his erection were too much to keep himself under control,
and he reached his climax a few moments later.

He bent down and kissed her damp
forehead while she calmed down her breathing.

She looked up at him questionably and
whispered in his ear. “Do you think the neighbor’s heard
me?”

“
Sweetheart, as much as I’d
like to think they didn’t, it’s possible. You were quite loud, but
I enjoyed every minute of it.”

“
You weren’t exactly quiet
either,” she teased, scooting from under him and lying on her
side.

He turned to face her and gathered her
in his embrace. “How could I with a sexy, little vixen driving me
insane?”

“
Well, you weren’t the only
one being driven crazy. I’m still on cloud nine.” She paused and
glanced around, running her hand along the white sheers at the
headboard. “Or it could be that we’re surrounded by all this
white.”

“
You’re the one that
suggested the daybed be draped with mosquito net sheers and topped
with a zillion pillows. Not sure how we’re fitting in here engulfed
with pillows and this fluffy comforter but I find it quite sexy and
romantic.”

She giggled and rubbed her nose on
his.

“
You’re adorable, but you
know that, don’t you?” he asked, rubbing his nose back on hers. He
couldn’t believe he’d rubbed noses. That wasn’t him. None of this
was him. Making love on an outdoor daybed enclosed with sheers,
tons of fluffy pillows and a down comforter with the only
light---which was minimal---was the fire pit for the sun had gone
down. The same fire pit that he said he would never have a romantic
evening with a female. Heck, he even roasted marshmallows. Since
meeting Traci he was romantic, more thoughtful, and ready to have
only one woman in his life.
Her.

Sean traced a finger down her cheek,
around to her luscious lips that were red and plump from all of
their kissing, down her chin, and ended at the pulse on her neck
that was beating erratically. Meeting his lips with hers, he kissed
her lovingly and slowly for he wanted to relish every single soft
sigh and experience every part of her mouth.

Stopping for a moment, Sean sat all
the way and hauled her on top of his lap. He continued their kiss,
still unhurried. There was no rush now. Last time he needed to be
one with her so bad it hurt. This time he wanted to make love to
her slowly to learn every single sensual thing about her. He needed
to know all of her erogenous spots, her different sighs and her
satisfied facial expressions. He wanted to make sure that whatever
her past boyfriends bestowed upon her was erased. She was all his
now. In his heart he knew she would be the last woman he’d ever
make love to. He couldn’t imagine another woman in his arms. He
couldn’t imagine another woman whispering or panting his name but
Traci.

*****

Traci lay with her head on Sean’s
chest, running her fingers along its smoothness as she listened to
his soft snoring. Their lovemaking had been passionate and
exquisite. Sensual and sexy. At times he’d made her laugh and at
times he’d made her plead for more with tears streaming down her
cheeks. She knew it would be over-the-top amazing with him, but she
didn’t realize just how much until it was happening. Until she was
screaming and panting his name. It was beyond measure. Beyond all
the wild daydreams she’d had about them being one.

She glanced at the clock on his
nightstand. It was just before midnight. They’d fallen asleep a few
hours ago after their second session that had started outside but
ended in his bed. She was completely spent and famished. Deciding
to see what was in the refrigerator, she eased away from Sean who
pulled her back to him and set her on top of him.

“
Where are you going?” he
asked groggily.

“
To the kitchen. I’m
starving thanks to you.” She kissed his nose and nestled her head
in his neck.

“
Me too. We never did eat
dinner and Sadie cooked so much. Let’s go grab something to eat.
You need your strength,” he said, popping her bare bottom. “I may
have a little ammo left.” He tossed her his pajama shirt that he’d
brought in earlier for her to wear, but she was too worn out to put
it on.

Twenty minutes later, they sat at the
kitchen table. Sean was eating the dinner Sadie had made, but Traci
opted for a salad and apple slices with peanut butter. She didn’t
want to eat so much late at night.

“
So how’s your mother?”
Sean asked, taking a gulp of his water.

“
Well, it’s funny you asked
that. I wanted to call you, but we weren’t speaking.”

“
Um … no, you weren’t
speaking but continue.”

“
Anyway, turns out she went
to Vegas this weekend to audition for a reality show. Have you
heard of
Women Poker
Players
