Life After Dark: Book Two of the Dark Series

Chapter 55

Apples...crisp, crunchy and hard.

AJ gazed on Keesha's sleeping form with loving eyes. Her dark brown waves of hair framed her beautiful face as she smiled in her sleep. Always a wild sleeper, the sheet had long been pushed to the floor. AJ considered picking it up and covering her decided against making that move. Instead, he allowed his gaze to flow over her. The ivory silk negligee that clung to every curve of her voluptuous body had risen, giving AJ a lovely vision of her well-toned bronze thighs.

Keesha moaned in her sleep, causing AJ's errant eyes to fly to her face. He was relieved to see the smile still on her lips, but the smile wasn't ordinary. It was a smile of divine sensual pleasure. What are you thinking about, my love, AJ wondered. His fingertips, unable to resist any longer, brushed the stray strands of hair from her face. The simple gesture wasn't enough to satisfy his craving to touch her again. His fingers followed a path from her forehead down to her chin that caused her smile to broaden and her eyes to flutter open.

"Good morning, sunshine," AJ spoke, his voice a little above a hoarse whisper. The love which shone brightly in her eyes made his heart swell and his throat constrict. He never knew love could be so powerful.

"You talk too much," Keesha smiled. She cupped his face and lowered it to hers. AJ's parted lips covered hers. His tongue traced an outline of her full lips before sliding inside. Their tongues moved and glided over the other.. teasing.. tasting.. and searching.

AJ's hands lost themselves in the velvety softness of her hair. Rolling himself onto his back, he pulled her on top of him. The kiss never ended as they changed positions. Their embrace only deepened in passionate intensity.

He kept one hand in her hair as the other began to cause a sensation as it slowly trailed down her body. He pulled the hem of her nightgown up to rest on her hips. As she moved to settle herself fully on top of him, his other hand moved to join the hand, which had slipped inside her panties. Squeezing her backside, he pressed her closer against him, closer to his full erection. When she opened her legs and began to move slowly against him, he thought he would explode with wanting her.

The sound of their ragged breaths echoed in the room as they ended their impassioned kiss. AJ could hear the rapid pounding of his heart and he wondered if Keesha heard it, too. His eyes held hers as he silently asked. A gentle brush of her lips on his was his answer.

AJ sighed as Keesha's lips moved to his cheeks, his jawline, and then to his neck. Her tongue licked and moved against his neck as she began to take tiny nips and tucks at his sensitive flesh. He thought he'd died and gone to heaven when her hand moved between them and began to caress his throbbing manhood. With a throaty voice, she asked, "Is all this for me?"

Enthralled with the seductress who touched him body and soul, he pulled her into another deep and searing kiss. His tongue raked over her much more insistently than before. This time he was hungry, and he intended to be fed.

Quickly discarding his black silk boxers and her negligee and panties, AJ rolled her onto her back. Not wanting to rush the moment, he slowed down their pace as he looked at her quivering offering. His hands started at her thighs and slowly began to move up. He moved so that his lips could follow the path of his hands.

He felt her tremble and whimper his name as he placed kisses against her warm, brown skin. His hands moved to her flat abdomen and so did his lips. Her erogenous zone was located in various places all over body and one place was definitely her navel. His tongue dipped inside, and he smiled for a brief moment as he heard her sharp intake of breath. The hands which rested in his silky black hair pressed him closer to her and caused him to deepen the kiss.
