I closed my eyes and took several calming breaths. I wanted that nigga’s head on a stick, but I wanted to make sure Mali was good too.

“I’m gon’ chill for now. One more instance with that nigga and all bets are off.”

She giggled. “Okay. That’s fair.”

I leaned forward and pressed my lips against hers. I missed the feel of her lips against mine. “Never let us go this long without kissing again, you hear me?”

“Yes.” She smiled and pecked my lips several times.

“I got us some tacos, but I dropped them on the front porch. Are you hungry? Do you want me to go get you something to eat?” I asked as I rubbed my hands along the curves of her body.

“Can you do me a favor instead?”

“Whatever you need, I got you.”

“Can you take the pain away? Can you make the feeling of betrayal and heartbreak leave my body? Can you make me forget how insane I felt for ignoring what my woman intuition told me all along?” The passion in her tone took me aback. The request felt beyond my scope of skills at the moment.

“How do you want me to take the pain away, baby?”

“Make love to me.”

Shit.

I searched her eyes for any sign of joking. There was nothing but seriousness and determination in her gaze. I sat up and pressed my back against the headboard. I pulled her onto my lap and gazed into her pretty brown eyes.

“Are you sure this is what you want? I don’t want to feast upon your body, and you regret it afterwards.”

She wrapped her arms around my neck. “I’ve never wanted something more in my life. I pinky promise I won’t regret it after.”

“There’s no going back. I won’t be able to stop until I’ve memorized every part of your body, inside and out.”

Her hips rocked slightly in my lap. The friction and warmth radiating off her pussy had my dick hardening in my pants. She needed me, and I needed her.

“Just be gentle with me.”

“Always.”

My hands snaked around her waist and slid down the curve of her ass. Even in the boy shorts she wore, I got a great feel of her soft body. I started off with light kisses against her neck while my hands familiarized themselves with every inch of her.

“Mmm.” Mali tilted her head back and moaned.

“Stand up and take those clothes off.” The demand came with several kisses.

“Oop. Yes, sir. I have to turn on some music, though. Don’t need my parents hearing anything we’re about to do.”

I chuckled as she stood up and sauntered over to the door. She twisted the lock and turned on her Bluetooth speaker. She turned on the music, and the melodic sounds filled the silence. She tugged off her T-shirt and shorts. Her naked body was beautiful. The stretch marks on her stomach, thighs, and ass were mesmerizing. She closed the distance between us as I stood up to remove my clothes.

As my pants pooled around my ankles, she gasped.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as I stepped out of the pile of clothes and pulled my shirt over my head.

“I knew it was big, but I didn’t know it was that big. I don’t know if I could handle all of that.”

I smirked. “I know how to maximize your pleasure without hurting you, baby. I’ll stretch and prep you well before I put this dick in you.”

“Okay. Where do you want me?” She looked at me as she fiddled with her fingernails.

“Face down on the bed. Toot that ass up so I can eat it from the back.”
