Surprises

Part Two

If five years ago, anyone had told Keesha she would engage in a clandestine affair with her first love's new persona, she wouldn't have believed them. In fact, she would have slapped the person silly and stormed off in a huff. But that was then and this was now. A person could change a lot in five years.

Thinking back on it now, she wasn't sure how it happened. After a day spent in the courtroom explaining arrests, Keesha needed a break. She went home, changed into jeans and hit the streets. For some strange reason, her footsteps took her to Jake's. Guzzling beer wasn't her style, but she loved a game of pool. She played game after game and then Jason walked in.

Their eyes met. Excitement rippled through her. Primal sexual attraction struck like lightning. He came to her. They played a game that was charged with electric heat. Everything he did seemed to arouse her further. The way his hand curved around the ball as he positioned it on the green felt. How his fingers slowly stroked the cue stick before it hit the ball.

After a while, the tension seemed to get to him, too. He arched a brow and jutted his chin to the back. She responded with a slight nod. They slipped out into the alley. As was Jason's custom, he didn't say too much. He only gave her directions to a motel on the outskirts of town. The Starlight Inn. He hopped on his motorcycle and Keesha slid behind the driver's seat of her car. The next three hours blew her mind and left her craving for more.

So now, she waited for him in their usual Room 23. Gravel sputtered outside and the beam of a single headlight swam into the room. She heard the engine cut off and then there was a single tap on the door. Keesha didn't bother to use the peephole. She knew it was Jason on the other side.

A small trace of a smile curved his firm, sensual lips. He closed the door with his foot while reaching for her. His mouth covered hers hungrily. His tongue pushed between her lips and sent shivers of desire racing through her. A sudden ache to be joined with him coursed through her. As if sensing that, Jason lifted her, and her thighs closed around his hips. Continuing to possess her with his mouth and tongue, Jason carried her to the bed with the covers already pulled back and lowered her onto the crisp, cool sheets.

He tore off their clothes without preamble. Then, he slid over her. Usually, their joining was quick, hot, and wild. On this night, Jason slowed the pace. He rained kisses over her face, down her throat and up again to her earlobe. His teeth nibbled and his mouth suckled.

Keesha groaned deep in her throat. She wanted more. Her hand closed around his growing arousal. Her caresses made him shudder. His teeth sunk into her quivering flesh. Stroking and squeezing, she brought him to a rock-hard erection. Now, that he was ready, she positioned him into place.

"Not yet."

Jason grabbed her wrists and raised them over her head. Keesha writhed in protest, but her urgent need went unheeded. His hand outlined the circle of her full breast. Her senses reeled as his tongue swirled around her hardened nipple. When his mouth finally took possession, she cried out.

"Easy," he murmured, his breath hot against her already heated flesh.

His free hand left her breast. It took its time, sliding down her belly and onto her thigh. His palm, rough and callused, massaged her with exquisite tenderness. Her legs parted. Jason responded to her silent invitation.

Lowering his mouth against her ear, he whispered what he was doing to her. His fingers threaded her moist curls before venturing further south. His whisper and the first touch of his fingertip on her swollen bud of pleasure nearly sent her over the edge. Her pelvis bucked against him, and Jason whispered, "One or two?"

"Two!"

His fingers eased into her silken folds. His thumb continued to caress her swollen bud. The stroking of his fingers left her mindless. He created a rhythm and she moved to its beat.
