Chapter 12
As my heart pounded out of my chest, I had to make sure I heard him correctly.
“Me?” I asked, pointing at myself.
He laughed. “Who else is in here? Yes, you. I want you right here, right now.”
My sweet spot ached from his bluntness. I was more turned on than before.
A man had never spoken to me the way Jabari did.
It was foreign but thrilling. If this had been any other man, I would’ve cracked under the pressure and run out of the house full speed.
However, with Jabari, it was different. I was ready to give him all of me.
I was intrigued from the moment I laid eyes on him, and my body agreed.
I stretched my hand out to him. The many talks with Danita and the many lonely nights came rushing back.
It was now or never. I extended my hand.
“Lead the way,” I instructed.
Jabari looked at my hand up and down and stepped closer toward me. Before I could blink, he had lifted me off my feet, and like a magnet, my legs wrapped around his waist. He pecked my lips and whispered against them.
“I can’t wait to taste you. I’ve been thinking about tasting you since I laid eyes on you.”
I shuddered.
“Can I taste you, Amina?” he asked, then kissed me on my neck.
I nodded.
“Use your words, beautiful.”
“Yes, you can taste me.”
Jabari walked to the back of the house, stopping at a door. He kicked it open with his foot, and the familiar scent of his cologne hit my nose, confirming that I was in his space. He tossed me down on the bed and bit his lip.
“Get naked for me, baby.”
I didn’t even think seconds passed before I was out of my shirt and biker shorts.
“Damn, Amina. I wasn’t expecting all this,” he admitted, licking his lips.
I didn’t know if it was the wine from earlier or the way Jabari made me feel, but not once did I try to cover myself as he idolized my body. I wanted to lie here all day and night under his stare.
Jabari removed his shirt and then his pants.
His dick print was the thickest I’d ever seen.
My mouth watered, while my honey pot shivered with fear.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to take all of him, especially since it had been over a year since I’d had sex.
Jabari must’ve noticed my fear because he picked up my feet and placed a kiss on them.
“I’ll go slow, baby. I promise.”
He reached for the nightstand and pulled out a gold wrapper, placing it beside me.
“Can I take my time with you?”
I nodded.
“Good. I plan to enjoy this.”
Before I knew it, Jabari climbed on top of me, placing kisses along my body.
Each kiss sent a chill down my body. I couldn’t believe I was doing this, but the thrill of it all was exhilarating.
Jabari sucked on both nipples one at a time, giving each of them the same treatment.
I knew from the way he sucked on my body that there would be bruises all over me after this was over.
He placed a kiss on my lips, then paused.
“You’re ready?”
I nodded.
“I’ll go slow.”
He lined himself up at my entrance and slowly inserted himself in. My back arched as he broke my barrier. I felt my tears build in my eyes from the painful sensation, so I bit my lip to help mask the pain. Jabari kissed my cheek.
“Breathe. I got you, baby. Breathe through it.”
I did as I was told, taking deep breaths each time Jabari inched inside of me.
“Feel better?” he asked.
I nodded, scared to speak just yet.
“I’m going to go slow so you can fully adjust. If it gets too much for you, you let me know.”
“O-okay.”
Jabari rotated his hips slowly, just like he said. With each twist of his hip, my body adjusted to his manhood. The next thing I knew, Jabari had picked up speed, and I moaned to the ceiling.
“Talk that shit, baby,” he grunted in my ear.
My nails clawed at his back as he continued to dive deeper inside me. Thankfully, my pain had turned to pleasure, and my eyes rolled in the back of my head as I felt myself already reaching my peak.
“I-I’m about to cum, Jabari.”
“Good,” he grunted in my ear, then kissed my lips. “Cum for me, baby.”
On his command, I came all over his dick. I let out the loudest moan, but Jabari covered my mouth with his, taking the rest of it.
“Fuck,” I hissed. I wiped at my forehead.
“What?” he asked. “You good?”
“Yeah, just embarrassed. I came so quickly.”
He smirked. “Shit, ain’t no need of being embarrassed. That shit made me feel good. That meant I knew what I was doing and your sweet body loved it.”
“It did. It’s been a while.”
“That’s okay, baby. Just know it ain’t going to be any more drawn-out episodes of you not getting the pleasure your body deserves,” he assured, placing a kiss on my shoulder.
I grinned. “And why do you say that?”
“Because this...” He rubbed his hand up my thigh until he got back to my center. He softly rubbed my clit, and my back arched. “...This belongs to me.”
“Oh, does it?” I teased.
“I guess I’ve got to show you better than I can tell you.”
My eyes fluttered as my phone vibrated under me, waking me from my sleep.
Jabari’s heavy arm draped across my body.
My phone stopped vibrating, then started up again.
That alone let me know who was calling. I slowly lifted Jabari’s arm from around me.
He was sound asleep, snoring his life away.
I smiled at his handsome face, rubbing my hand down the side of his cheek, before grabbing my phone.
I wrapped myself in the sheet on the bedroom floor and headed to the bathroom.
I glanced at the phone, and the time was showing 2:00 a.m. I groaned but redialed the number. The phone rang twice before my brother, Gio’s, voice came barreling through the phone.
“Peanut, where you at? I called twice,” he complained.
I yawned. “Hi, Gio. Do you not remember that we are on two different ends of the earth? You’re on your lunch break, and I’m sleeping.”
“Early bird gets the worm. You should be up anyway. Have you been looking for better positions?”
I rolled my eyes. No matter how many times I told Gio, he didn’t listen.
I had no intention of leaving my job. He was pissed when he found out I didn’t get the charge nurse position.
He even threatened to call up to the job and file a complaint.
Danita and I had to talk him down. We were accustomed to Gio being the man in charge of our lives, but sometimes, he overstepped.
Gio and Danita bumped heads a lot because he felt Danita was too concerned about her love life and not moving up in her career.
He wanted her to be a principal, but what he didn’t realize was that Danita was content with being a teacher.
She would rather be face to face with children than sit in meetings all day.
“Gio, please, let’s not do this. I’m okay with my position. I’m still helping people each day.”
“That’s cool and all, but you need to elevate. Grow and be bigger and better than the day before.”
I looked at the door, and my thoughts flashed to Jabari. A stupid grin spread across my face, thinking about how things were going. He was a breath of fresh air. For the first time in a while, I felt light. I didn’t feel as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders.
“Peanut, you hear me?” Gio asked, pulling me back from my daydream.
“Oh, the phone must have gone out. What did you say?” I lied.
“I said where are you? I looked at the Ring camera, but I didn’t see your car.”
I froze. I couldn’t and wouldn’t tell Gio about Jabari.
I’d never hear the end of it because Gio felt like a relationship was a distraction to success.
He never agreed with either of us dating.
There was no way Gio would know I was laid up at a man’s house and just got turned every way but loose by him.
“Oh, I’m getting some work done on it. I swapped out the screen for something more hi-tech.”
“Bet. Make sure them motherfuckers ain’t hit you over the head. Matter of fact, send me the place so I can look into ’em.”
“Sure. I’ll do that after I wake up.”
“Alright, peanut, but I just wanted to holla at you. Gone ’head and get back to sleep. I love you. Please make sure to check your email. I sent you a few jobs I saw posted for you.”
“Love you too. I’ll look at what you sent. Talk to you later.”
I rolled my eyes as soon as the phone call ended and let out a deep sigh.
There was so much I looked forward to in life.
I knew eventually that job for me would fall into my lap, but what I didn’t expect was for Jabari to make his mark in my life so fast. A part of me feared losing track of my goal, but I also couldn’t help but wonder how my life would be if I focused on other things like Jabari Moore.
