7. Taelyn
“Yes, I understand,” I answered with a pant.
This man was a lot, and I was excited to experience him. I may have been a virgin, but I’d seen my way around a dick or two with my mouth. Normally, I wouldn’t put my mouth on a man on the first date, but this was different. We determined near the lake that we were in a monogamous relationship. I wouldn’t be sucking just any dick. I’d be sucking my man’s dick.
“Good girl. I’m going to jump in the shower. Get comfortable in the bed. If you want anything, the kitchen is fully stocked.” He kissed my ear, smacked my ass, then walked off to the bathroom.
I looked at his back in the mirror as he walked away. Wait. Did he say he was celibate? Now that my Lilly Milly had calmed down, the other words that he said finally sank in. My body turned to face the closed bathroom door. I heard the water from the shower run. Oh, that shower was amazing, and I needed to get my showerhead changed to the one he had.
That man said he had been celibate for almost seven years. As fine as he was, that was hard as hell to believe. I wanted to talk about that a little more when he got out of the shower.
After I oiled my body, I put his tee shirt on. I roamed his apartment that was a very nice size to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator. He told a big fact that his kitchen was fully stocked with snacks. I noticed there weren’t many perishable items, but that was to be expected if he didn’t stay here permanently. If this lake house looked this amazing, I was excited to see his house.
I knew that his parents lived with him and they were older. I thought that was so considerate of him to build a home that accommodated them. I’d seen him walk around his house when we were on video calls, and just from that, I could tell his house was massive.
After I got comfortable in his bed, I turned on the television. It was after midnight, but I was far from tired. My finger paused from pressing the remote button to flip through the channels when the bathroom door opened. He stood there with water beads trickling down his fully tatted back and stomachTo see the print under the towel that was wrapped around his waist was almost too much for Lilly Milly. Have some decorum, Lilly!
“Draco, you haven’t had no sex in almost seven years. Not even head? I don’t know how the females did it.”
His back faced me as he stood at the dresser. When he dropped the towel and his toned ass was exposed, my eyes almost drooled. Fuck my mouth. From the reflection in the mirror on the dresser, I saw his dick, and it was a beauty.
“Now, you’re not playing fair. I didn’t drop my towel in front of you.”
After he moisturized his body and put his boxers on, he faced me. Through his laugh, he spoke. “My bad, baby. I didn’t mean to go tit for tat.”
He winked at me before he walked to the other side of the bed and climbed in.
“To answer your question, no. I haven’t gotten head or masturbated.”
“Wow, that is self-discipline.”
I masturbated more often than I would like to admit. I got so tired of my rose dying that I bought two backups as well as two anal vibrators. I wasn’t sure if I would like anal sex, but I loved the way the vibrating plug felt when it was in.
“Can I look at your tattoos?”
After he gave me permission, he turned so that I could see his back first. It was littered with tats. The warrior tat across his back that read perseverance was sexy. There were tats on the back of his arms, up his neck, and just about everywhere. When it was time for me to observe the front of his body, he pulled me on his lap. I loved it there.
His front was littered just like his back. My hands moved across his toned chest and stomach.
“I’m surprised that you don’t have your wife’s name tatted on you somewhere.”
His smile was soft. “Her name is tatted on my heart.”
He extended his arm and pointed to a tattoo on his forearm. It was a heart wrapped in angel wings with a halo above it. The inscription on the heart said Always in my Heart with a date under it. “This is for her.”
I ran my hand against it. “It’s beautiful. Can you tell me about her? I understand if you don’t want to.”
He grabbed my wrist, pulled me forward, then kissed my lips.
“Lyn, I would love to tell you about her. This will be the last time that I go down memory lane about Samantha Nicole.”
I was about to cut him off, but he held his finger up.
“Listen, I love my late wife. I will never not love her. However, she was during another time of my life. In this time, I want to focus on you and this relationship.
“I will always honor my late wife’s life. However, I will never dishonor you within this relationship by continuously bringing her up, comparing her to you, or allowing her memory to overshadow our relationship. This tattoo is how I show my honor to her and what we were. I do visit her grave once a year on her birthday to place flowers, and the rest of the year, a floral shop ensures that flowers are always fresh. Those are the ways that I honor my wife.”
Without him having to ask, I told him that I understood. For the next hour or so, he told me about his late wife, and I asked questions. He even showed me a picture of her. She was beautiful. Eventually, we both dozed off and fell into a comfortable sleep wrapped in each other’s arms.
It was 4:30 a.m., and my ass couldn’t sleep. I was too revved up and wanted to put my mouth on Draco’s beautiful dick. Something about his effort to not overshadow our relationship with his past had me in my feelings in a good way. It wasn’t that I ever thought that it would, but it was good to know it wouldn’t. I loved how Draco communicated. He made sure he was always clear and upfront. He always made sure that I understood what he said.
He had taught me so much already about how to properly navigate within a relationship. I had so much respect for him, and that was the polar opposite of how I felt about Kevin. I glanced over at my man. My man, my man, my man! He was on his back with an arm over his head and one on his stomach. Maybe I could bless him with a little head. Just a little.
I shifted my body to face him. I put my hand on his stomach. When he moved his hand up toward his chest, I smirked. My hand went lower and lower until it was inside of his boxers and wrapped around his dick. It hardened immediately. How am I going to do this? If I moved too slow, he might stop me. I mean, he could stop me either way.
While I thought about it, I pulled his beautiful dick out of his boxers. I pulled myself up on my knees, leaned over his lower body, then took all if him down my throat.
“Ssss! Shit, Lyn! Fuck!”
The feeling of his hand on the back of my head made my chest fill with pride. I felt myself about to gag, so I lifted one of my bent legs off the bed. A little trick that Khiajah taught me was when you felt like you were going to gag, either hold your thumb in the middle of your fist tightly or discretely raise a leg. The concentration from the leg being held up and sucking the dick properly stopped your mind from telling you that you had to gag. Once I had the gagging situation under control, I went crazy. Drool came from the corners of my mouth.
When my eyes traveled up Draco’s body to his eyes, he was locked on me. He bit his lower lip.
“This how you going to play it, Lyn? You still not getting this dick, but I got something for you.”
When I felt his hips start to thrust upward, I knew I had him. I popped his dick out of my mouth, lifted it, then gave his balls some attention. It was a combination of licks and sucks. After a minute or so, I went back to his dick. It was time for me to have him bring his kids to throat care.
“Lyn, what the fuck!”
Seconds later those kids were checking in to go have recess in my tummy. With a pop, I released his dick from my mouth. We gazed at each other for a minute before I tried to get off the bed. Draco foiled that plan when he grabbed my waist. He got on his knees, and pulled me up so that I was on mine with my back against his front. He pushed my back forward, causing me to put my forearms on the bed to hold me up.
“I thought you said that I couldn’t get the dick?”
There was a smirk on his face when I looked over my shoulder.
“That is what I told you, and that is what I meant. I got something else for you, though.”
He lifted the hem of my shirt, lowered the top of his body, then used his tongue to lick in the folds of Lilly Milly. Yeah, I went to bed with no panties, but that was not out of the norm for me. Lilly Milly liked to breathe.
“Dra-Draco! His hands spread my ass cheeks. When I felt his tongue lick from Lilly Milly to my asshole, I almost lost my whole mind.
Yeah, Kevin ate my pussy before, but this was not eating. This man was elegantly devouring me as if I was a delicacy that he only got on special occasions and holidays. My stomach contracted before my body started to shake. My orgasm hit like a freight train.
Draco smacked my ass. “That’s right! Give me that nut. You taste good, love. If you nutting like this from my tongue that I haven’t used in twelve years, then I know you about to nut the fuck up over this dick.”
He might have had a point. I just nutted from his words alone. His power tongue had me ready to be sitting outside of his office every day daring a patient bitch to try it. He went back to feasting, and I just decided to stop counting the nuts. By the time he was done, I had to take another shower. My inner thighs were sticky and wet. There was no way I could not take a shower.
A SHORT TIME LATER…
“How have things been going?” Dr. Prentiss asked.
This was our fourth session, and I really liked her. From our sessions, I learned that she was in the field for Christianson Enterprises for a little over three years before she left that side of the business and stayed on the above the table side. I was impressed to know that she’d worked on some missions with Fiona and Khiajah. I was always under the impression that Fiona and Khiajah only worked with their husbands. Every once in a while, from what she told me, there were missions that were led by just the females. It was like the mission the ladies led when they came to rescue me.
With a smile, I answered. “Things have been great. I haven’t had a nightmare in a couple weeks. When I had the last nightmare, I did the relaxing techniques that you taught me.”
“Did it work?” She smiled when I confirmed that it did. “I’m so happy that we are making strides. Now, let’s address the happy girl in the room. Someone in this room is in a new relationship, and it’s not me.”
I burst into laughter. “Um, yes. I’m in something new that I really like. It’s so different and new, like nothing that I’d ever experienced before.”
“How is it different from any previous relationship that you’ve experienced?”
I thought about her question before I answered. “It’s kind of hard to explain. I’m not sure if it’s because of his age, but he’s more mature than anyone I ever dated, talked to, or flirted with. He listens, like really listens. I just account that to his profession. He’s so attentive.”
I couldn’t help but swoon. She jotted something down in her notebook. Dr. Prentiss also had her own practice, but she only had one employee who was her assistant. Her practice was located in Downtown Charleston, which was much closer to my home.
“Well, first, I want to say that his age may contribute to his maturity. However, sometimes maturity has nothing to do with age. I’ve met eighteen years olds that are more mature than forty year olds. As far as his communication skills are concerned, I will partially agree that some of it does come from his profession and teachings. The rest comes from him as a person.
“I’ve met plenty of therapists whose lives are messed up because, as a person, they don’t want to implement the tools to be better communicators. That is a real thing. Luckily, you met a man that wants to be the best man he can be for his partner, which is you.” She looked at me with soft eyes. “I just want to say that I’ve known Carlton for a very long time, and to see the light that’s in his eyes is refreshing.”
I couldn’t help but blush. “He makes me feel like I can do anything. He makes me want to be the best me, but not for him. I want to be the best for me. Just being around him makes me want to be better. Does that make sense?”
“It makes complete sense. When you’re with the right person, they bring out the best in you,” she said with a smile. “Now, what I’m going to say next is very important. I’m very happy for you, but your work is not done. Do not equate your happiness with Carlton as inner happiness. That is not something that he can provide you with. Only you can provide that for yourself.”
I giggled. “That’s the same thing that Draco said.”
“Well, listen to your man.”
Little did she know, I always planned to until he gave me a reason not to. For the rest of our session, we talked about various things, and she gave me a homework assignment. Just as I got to my car, my phone rang. I answered on the third ring.
“Hey, baby.”
“Hey, love. How did your session go?”
After I told him that it went great, he continued.
“I’m taking you to dinner tonight. I need you to pack a bag, too, because you’re spending the night with me.”
I loved it when he told me what was going to happen. Yes, he asked me for input about certain things. When it came to spending time with me, he was on my ass.
“Okay, I will. I’m about to go to Mauri’s house for about an hour, then head home.”
Like he asked in the beginning, I made sure I let him know my schedule. Last week, he had us sync calendars. I knew when he had sessions or meetings.
He came to my job the other day for lunch, and the universe saw fit that it was the day my daddy was in the office. My annoying daddy came into my office and told me to make sure that I kept my office door open while he was there. All I could do was laugh because what! He acted like I would fuck him on my desk. I wouldn’t do that now! Maybe in a couple months, but not now.
“Okay, baby. I’ll text you when I’m on my way.”
We said a few more words before we disconnected from the line. The drive to Mauri’s house didn’t take long. Mauri met me at the door with a goofy ass smile.
“What is wrong with you?”
“Bitch, I wanted to see how you was walking to see if Draco done draco-ed that pussy. You’re still walking normally, so I’ll assume that, that virginity is still intact.”
She walked off from the front door with me following her with laughter.
“How you know we haven’t, and it just wasn’t something worth talking about?” I jested.
Mauri’s head snapped in my direction. She walked into my personal space.
With a low voice, she said, “Bitch, don’t play with me. Draco looks like he’ll fuck the dog shit out of you, have a session to check your mental from the sex, then fuck the hell out of you again.”
Out of nowhere, Yetti came into the hallway.
“I heard that shit, Mauri.” He smacked her ass. “Tighten the fuck up. I’m about to go to War’s house.”
After he kissed her lips, he was out of the hallway then the house.
“I swear he has bat hearing. That man can hear me piss from the back yard.”
“Y’all are crazy.” I didn’t want to delay what I came here to talk about. “Mauri, I think we’re going to have sex tonight. He told me that he wants to take me to dinner and for me to pack a bag. This will be the first night that we’ve spent together since the first time.”
After that first night, his ass told me he would be too tempted to fuck me before he was ready if we spent the night together again. I was in my feelings, but I didn’t say anything. I probably should have since he asked if I was. I didn’t want to come across like a spoiled brat, so I digressed.
“Are you ready for that, Taelyn? It’s alright not to be.”
My head bucked back. “Bitch, I been ready since I sat on that man’s couch the first day. I’ve never wanted to give a person Lilly Milly more than I have with him.” My head dropped back. “His dick is so fucking beautiful.”
“Mauri, don’t you be talking about no other nigga dick in my house!”
We both jumped at the sound of Yetti’s voice coming over the intercom. This nigga was insane. I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped my gut.
Mauri jumped up from her seat. “Yetti, what the fuck! Mind your nosy ass business!”
“You are my business, Mauri Davis. Tighten up!”
Mauri waved him off before she told me to follow her into her office. That was the only place that he didn’t have access to the camera because of her job with the organization.
“He gets on my damn nerves.”
“That’s the man you chose to marry and have children with, Cuz. Like he said, you better tighten up.”
When her jaw clinched, I guffawed.
She kissed her teeth. “You can laugh all you want to. Don’t think your man’s not just as crazy if not more. That man could put a person in psychological warfare if he wanted to. Play with that man if you want to.”
“Whatever, girl.”
“Okay, whatever me if you want. You wanna see how crazy he is? Miss his calls a couple times in a row to see how he reacts. Be at home and tell him you were sleeping.”
The book bae toxicity in me wanted to push Draco just a little to tap into his craziness.
“Yeah, I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Draco is a grown, grown man. He’s not going to appreciate me playing games with him.”
“Girl, I didn’t tell your ass to go out to the club in some scantily clad outfit. I told you to stay at home and not answer the phone. When he taps in, tell him you were sleep.” She chuckled. “It’s better to test that shit at the beginning so you really know how far to go.”
I shook my head with a titter. “Mauri, you’re toxic as hell. You and Yetti are a great match.”
“Whatever. As far as the virginity thing, if you are ready, then let him lead. You should know the shit is going to hurt and probably not feel good the first couple times, but just hold on.”
Mauri and I talked about some tech things for a little while longer before I left to go home. By the time I got home, Draco texted me to let me know he was on the way to pick me up. I had enough time for a shower and to start packing my bag.
My doorbell sounded when I was almost finished. I rushed to the door because I didn’t want my father to come out of his house before I got Draco in the house. This was the first time he’d be in my house.
“Hey, baby.” I greeted him as soon as the door opened.
His bottom lip went between his teeth. He pulled me into his arms, grabbed my ass, then passionately kissed my lips.
“You look beautiful.”
I pulled him into the house and closed my door.
“I’m almost packed. Come on.”
He took in my house. “This is nice, Lyn. Did you decorate this yourself, or is it one of your mom’s creations?
The mention of my mama made me smile.
“This is actually one of hers. My mama randomly sketches themes and stuff. I used them, and a design team at her firm put it together.”
Before I could make it all the way up the stairs, my doorbell rang again. Fuck! It could be one of three people. I wanted it to be none. When Draco told me that he had the door, I almost tripped trying to get down the stairs so fast.
“What’s up, Jacob? How you doing, man? Mr. Smith and Mont, it’s nice to see you again.”
Muthafucka! Why is Jacob here?
Draco moved to the side to let them in. My daddy stepped inside first.
“So, you’re answering doors in my lil girl’s house like you pay a fuckin’ bill in this bitch.” He turned around to Mont and Jacob. “Y’all see this nigga? He outcha like he live in dis bitch, opening doors and shit.”
Draco chuckled then turned to me. “Baby, I assume your house is paid for. How much are the rest of your bills? How much is your lights, gas, cable, streaming services, and anything else monthly?”
I gawked at him with confusion. My eyes danced between him and everyone else standing in my foyer. When I realized that he really wanted an answer, I did a quick calculation in my head. I told him that my monthly average on household bills was seven to eight hundred dollars. My house was paid off the minute the foundation was laid.
Draco reached into his slacks pocket and pulled out a wad of money. He flaked off some bills then extended it to me. Not knowing what to do, I took it out of his hand.
“That’s five thousand dollars for the bills for a few months.” He turned back to my father. “Now I do, so what’s up?”
My mouth dropped open. Daddy, please don’t hit him. Please don’t hit him! This man of mine was fearless. Never in all my years of living had I seen anyone test my father like Draco. My father stared at him with his eyelids so tight you would think they were closed.
Mont laughed. “Damn, Draco. That’s how you coming behind my baby sister? You think that little five thousand is supposed to impress her?”
“I am fully aware that five G’s is not impressive to my baby, nor should it ever be. The point of me giving her the money was to establish that I pay all the bills here now. With that being said, when I am here, I am the man of this house. Is that understood?” He slid his hands into his slacks pockets and stood with his legs shoulder width apart. “I recognize that my baby needs no financial assistance, but I don’t care. As long as she’s my woman, it is my responsibility to take care of her.
“Mr. Smith, it is not my desire to disrespect you in any way. What I need you to understand is that, while I do not wish to disrespect you, I need you to not disrespect me and my woman’s relationship. We are all grown men here. Let’s try to act like it.”
Yep, the conversation was above me at that point. I refused to stand here while they had an ego contest.
“Baby, I’m going upstairs to finish packing. I’ll be back.”
I left their asses down there so I could pack. While I did that, I called Mauri.
“What’s up, girlie?”
“Mauri, Draco is crazy!”
I told her what happened when she asked. I could barely get it out because I laughed more than I talked.
Mauri laughed right along with me.
“Oh, I always liked Draco! I knew there was something special about his ass. If he can stand up like that to not only your daddy but Mont and Jacob, too, then they will eventually have to respect him. Mont and Jacob employ his ass!”
“Look, I love it for me. All Kevin ever did was try to kiss my daddy’s ass. My daddy used to say the most disrespectful shit to him, and he wouldn’t say shit back. He would just smile like an idiot. He would even laugh sometimes like it was a damn joke. Let me go make sure they didn’t kill each other down there. I’ll talk to you later.”
I finished my packing, said a quick prayer, then went back downstairs. I was surprised to see them sitting at the kitchen island with beers in front of them. I kept beers in my house because you never knew when an impromptu cookout or dinner happened.
“What’s going on in here?”
It was like there was a complete atmosphere change.
“Come sit down here, baby girl. I wanna talk to you.”
I put my bag on the couch before I sat in the open seat at my island that was next to Draco and across from my daddy. Draco leaned over and softly grabbed my chin to turn my face toward him. Once it was, he kissed my lips. Yes, boo! Risk it all for me!
My father’s and brother’s groan to Draco’s action was comical.
“Look, Taelyn, I still don’t like this shit right here. You’re my baby girl, and it’s my job to protect you. After that last shit that happened, I can admit that I’m overprotective.” His head dropped, and he took a deep breath. When his head rose, his eyes softened.
“I don’t like this, but I’m going to trust your judgment. It’s not fair to continue to hold something that wasn’t your fault over your head.” His attention moved to Draco. “As far as you, I’m going to be watching your ass like you spending money that you owe me. I promise… one infraction and you’re dead. Do you understand me, Draco?”
Draco glanced at me then smiled. “I completely understand you, Mr. Smith. Frankly, I want you to watch me, watch me closely. I want you to see how I’ll love, nurture, protect, provide, and care for your daughter. Watch me so that when I come to you and ask you for her hand in marriage, there will be no discussion or delay. By that time, you will see that it is me that was created just for this. I was created to be your daughter’s forever.”
There was no movement or sound outside of the swooshing of the ceiling fan.
“Damn!” Jacob broke the silence. “Unc, I can’t even lie. That shit was deep. Either this man is the smoothest motherfucka I know, or his ass is right where he’s supposed to be.”
Another moment of silence passed before the entire room erupted in laughter. I could tell my father didn’t want to give in to the humor of this situation, but it was too overwhelming.
“Nigga out here spitting forevers and shit,” Mont said with a chuckle then he stopped. “I still half ass like your ass.”
Draco shrugged. “That’s cool. You don’t have to. As long as my baby does, that’s all that matters.” He climbed off the bar stool. “Fellas, we need to go before we’re late for dinner. It was a good chat.”
I felt like I was in an alternate reality right now. The men spoke for another minute, and we all left my house together.
“Baby, what was the conversation that y’all had that resulted in a truce?”
We were on our way to dinner. I had no idea where we were going, but it didn’t matter. I loved being Draco’s passenger princess. He always rested his hand on my thigh, and every once in a while, he gave it a squeeze, then looked at me with his beautiful smile.
“It was man talk, baby. Nothing for you to be concerned with.”
I loathed when he did that. This man was serious about the whole too much information is the wrong information thing. I would leave it alone. When I asked him where we were going, he told me to just ride. After a forty-minute ride, we pulled up to a beautiful house.
“Is this where we’re having dinner?”
“Yes, it is. This is my house. My mom cooked us dinner.”
Wait. What!
