EXCERPT THREE:
As a boy in Chicago, David always imagined there was
something sinister about midnight. Now, he associated midnight with sensuality,
and felt nothing but joy. He'd found the friend he wanted to see the world
with. He held the lover whom he would never let go. She was a living passion, a
comfort for his weary soul.
"I've missed you so much," David whispered as he
rested his head on her chest.
She wrapped her arms around his damp head. "I've missed you too. Do you have to be
anywhere tomorrow morning?"
"Nope. The whole day is mine. Ours."
"Good," Shaunna breathed.
She pulled his face to hers and kissed him in a desperate,
craving way that got him revved up all over again. When he pressed his body to
hers, she opened her legs immediately. With an adjustment of his hips, David
slowly entered her and closed his eyes with pleasure. Shaunna's eyes were wide open. She stared up at his strong chest as he
became a part of her for the first time in weeks.
They moved slowly at first, savoring the contact, but it had
been a very long day. Soon they evolved into voracious lovers bucking against
one another. They slid up and down each
other's bodies, kissing and licking anything that was exposed. They flitted
from position to position, each one causing Shaunna to climax faster than the
one before.
David was strong but getting tired, so she pushed him down
on his back and straddled him with a determined expression.
"Are you ready?" she purred. "I want you to
come for me."
"Yes," David confirmed breathlessly.
Shaunna moved with purpose. David, jealous of the moon's
fingers caressing his lover’s skin, reached up and cupped her slick
breasts. She leaned into his hands and
wiggled hard with him inside her. She
climaxed twice more before she heard his soft blissful whimper and felt his
hands squeeze her thighs.
"Rest," she told him as she settled back onto the
mattress and pulled him into her arms. Her intentions were to look after him,
to stroke his hair, but soon she fell into a doze. He was relaxed but also
excited for the time when he would finally be able to publicly declare their
love. He fell asleep with a peace in his heart that all the money in the world
could never have given him.
They didn't wake to make love again until the room was
completely dark. Outside, the sky showed thin strips of purple on the
undersides of low clouds passing each other like great puffy whales.
Their dawn lovemaking was silent and slow, and they didn't
stir again until the house's air conditioning kicked in and the smell of
Michelle's coffee snuck up the stairs to tempt them into the day.
