Chapter 19
“I saw the sun, the moon, the mountains, and the river. I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you.”
Az Yet’s “Last Night” blasted through my car speakers as I made my routine drive. It was crazy how I had always loved that song. I was 100 percent sure that I had only made love for the first time a few days ago.
Was it a shame that I had made love for the very first time at thirty-five years old? I didn’t know if I was embarrassed by the number of women who I had fucked just to get my rocks off over the years, but it was what it was. It had been three whole days since I’d seen Divine, and four since I entered her heavenly gates.
Usually, I went by her store on at least one of my days off, but I’d wanted to give her time to process things. I probably needed the time more than she did. I knew once that line had been crossed, I was going to have trouble going back to the other side. I was having more than trouble. I was straight up refusing to return to the way we were.
Divine belonged to me. I would make sure she knew that in more ways than one. I was done taking things slow and weighing out my options. It was time to act. Picking up my phone, I opened the messaging app and shot her a text to see if she needed anything before I came.
Divine:
I was just about to text you.
I’ve had a long ass day. Can we please, please, please do what we did the other day again? I promise I won’t cry this time. It was just a lot. I got overwhelmed.
Me:
Cookie, I’m not worried about that. What happened today?
Divine:
I don’t really want to talk about it right now. I just really need a stress reliever. If not, I’ll just grab a bottle of tequila on the way home. I just thought I’d ask.
Me:
Be ready when I get there.
I’d planned on holding off on having sex for a while to give us a chance to work out our feelings. I’d offered to have sex with Divine as a way to relieve some of the stress and sexual frustration she was dealing with.
In reality, I wanted to open the conversation of the nature of our relationship evolving. I was ready to say fuck it and go to my boss and whoever needed to know that we were together. I was ready to risk it all. Even before I burrowed my way between her thighs, I knew I was ready. I just needed her to be on the same page.
Since Royelle was able to convince Syre to back off on the security, Divine didn’t have a full detail anymore. She had surveillance during the day and escorts back and forth from work. The night crew was still in full effect, so my hours were still the same. That meant there was no one at her house until I came.
It was a good thing because I was so ready to sink back into her oasis that as soon as I stepped into the house I yanked my shirt over my head. She sat on her couch with her face buried in her phone but looked up when she realized I was there.
“Well, damn. That was quick. How far away were you?” Divine quizzed.
“Don’t matter. You know how I’m coming for you every time. One call and that’s all.”
She giggled, and her laughter was just as sweet to my ears as it had ever been.
“I see that.” She smiled, but I kept my facial expression stoic.
“What did I tell you to do, Divine?” I asked, continuing to take long strides in her direction.
“When?”
“Don’t answer a question with a question. What was the last thing I texted you?”
“You told me to be ready,” she said, quickly lifting her shoulders.
“Yet, you still have on all those clothes.”
“Well, that’s because I didn’t know we were getting straight to it.”
“What part of be ready don’t you understand?”
“I am ready.”
For a moment, I stood in front of her just looking down at her. I had to give my heart rate a little time to slow down. True to Divine fashion, she sneered up at me as if she were irritated with my looming presence.
“What?” she snapped, rolling her eyes at me.
I loved that defiance, but it wouldn’t last long. I reached out and cupped her chin between my index finger and thumb. The way her breathing hitched had my dick testing the elasticity of my briefs.
“Do you want me to fuck you, Divine?”
“Yes.” Her voice came out light and airy. It was just above a whisper, but it was almost audible enough for me to accept as consent. Almost.
“Yes what?”
“Yes, I want you to fuck me,” she clarified.
“Yes, sir .”
Her eyes fluttered, and she swallowed before reiterating her statement. “Yes, sir, I want you to fuck me.”
“You don’t run shit, Divine,” I said before letting go of her chin. “Get up and take off your fucking clothes. Next time I tell you to be ready for me, get naked. If you don’t know what to do, learn to ask,” I chastised.
Surprisingly, there was no backlash as she stood from her seated position and pushed the workout pants she wore down over her hips. Stepping back up to her, I grabbed her throat and covered her lips with mine. She eagerly reciprocated, opening her mouth and accepting my tongue. Her mouth felt so good. I felt lightheaded as our tongues mingled. When I pulled away, I stepped back and let our eyes connect.
“So, you not going to do what I asked you to do?”
“I couldn’t. You stopped me.”
“I don’t need the back talk, Cookie. I need you to do what I asked you to do. Go to your room and finish getting naked. Get in your bed and wait for me on your knees with that ass in the air.”
Her breathing came out ragged, and I bit my bottom lip in anticipation of what was to come. Still, there was no protest from her as she took a deep breath and sauntered off to her room. While she was getting ready for me, I turned on her wireless speaker and connected it to my phone. I put “Power” by Kevin Gates on repeat then put my phone on the coffee table.
I let the music help me set the mood while I went to the kitchen and made two turkey, Swiss, and spinach wraps with this hummus spread Divine liked to use. I made sure there were some smoothies and juice in the refrigerator and rolled a blunt. I needed everything to be ready when I was done helping my baby blow off steam. I took a bottle of water out of the refrigerator and chugged half of it before placing it on the counter and proceeding to her bedroom.
The door was cracked so I nudged it open and found Divine lying on her back staring at the ceiling. The curves of her body were on full display. She was so sexy. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her. I don’t think I would ever get tired of seeing her naked. She cracked a smile when she noticed me. I was in my mode now though.
“Get on your fucking knees. Don’t make me repeat myself again.”
The smile on her face only grew. See why I loved this woman?
“OK, dang.”
Following my instructions to the letter, Divine rolled over on her knees and lowered her chest to the bed. The arch in her back was sinful, causing my dick to brick up instantly. The sight of her pretty pink pussy in the air made my mouth water. This woman would be the death of me, and I couldn’t wait.
I snatched at the button on my jeans, allowing them to fall as I moved closer to the bed. By the time I was standing behind Divine, I was naked, and my dick was throbbing to get back to the confines of her tight walls. I fisted the head of my dick, letting my thumb smear the bead of pre-cum at the tip as I leaned in and ran my tongue from her dripping wet pussy up to her ass.
“Put your hands behind your back.”
“How am I going to do that?” she asked, laughing softly.
“Figure it out,” I demanded, slapping her on the ass.
The way it rebounded against the palm of my hand made me hiss. I wanted her so fucking bad right now, but this wasn’t for or about me. Pressing her chest further into the bed, Divine managed to balance herself enough until both of her hands rested on her lower back.
“Hurry up, Lee. I need to feel you.”
Hearing her say that shit almost made me cum on myself. I had to take a few deep breaths to stay in control. I was on a mission. Me cumming too fast would ruin that mission. I clasped her wrists together in one hand while using the other to guide my dick as I rammed it as far into her as I could. She screamed as I pulled out and impaled her again.
“You don’t run shit. You hear me?”
“Yes,” she whimpered weakly.
“Why the fuck you letting somebody stress you out, Divine?” I quizzed.
“I’m not!” she shouted.
“So you lying to me now?” I asked, continuing to plow into her.
“No, no, I’m not lying,” she panted.
“Why are you letting somebody stress you out, baby? Talk to me.”
“Because I want everything to be right.”
My baby. Half the reason I tried to do so much for her was because I knew she was running herself into the ground trying to prove how independent she could be. Nobody could do it all, but Divine wanted to try. I fucked her hard and fast. My dick drilled into her soaking wet tunnel, and her walls clenched and contracted every time I pulled back, only urging me to move faster. How the hell did she make her pussy suck my dick? I felt dizzy and lightheaded. I knew I wasn’t going to last much longer. I needed to complete my mission of relieving her stress sooner than later.
“I keep telling you that you don’t run shit, Divine. Don’t let no-fucking-body who’s not me stress you out. You hear me?”
“Yes.”
“What?” I barked.
“Yes, sir!”
“We’re not having this conversation again. Stress kills. I can’t let you worry yourself. If you have an issue, worry me with it. I don’t want that on you.”
“OK.”
“Don’t play with me, Divine!”
“Yes, sir. I’m sorry. I’ll try not to worry.”
“Don’t try.”
“I won’t worry.”
I didn’t know about her, but as that pussy clamped down on my shit like a vice grip, I forgot all of my problems. Hopefully, I could take her mind off her burdens for at least a little while.
“Oh God! Oh God! Oh my God!”
“Fuck you calling him for? I’m the one putting in all the work.”
I breathed through my nose, trying to drown out the sounds of Divine screaming to the top of her lungs. I loved to hear it, but that shit made me weak as water. My knees buckled, and I knew that my end was near.
My phone ringing interrupted the music and distracted me enough to get my head back in the game. I tightened my hold on her wrists and slapped her ass, closing my eyes as her skin reddened from the sting of my hand.
“This dick not pleasing my baby?”
“Yes! Fuck yes, it is!”
“Well, I need you to stop all that screaming and cum for me, baby.”
“Yes, sir!” she belted out.
Oh damn.
I didn’t even have a chance to think before I sprayed her walls and painted her insides with my seeds. Breathing through my nose, I fought to suck in as much oxygen as I could as I tried to maintain my composure.
I refused to stop before she was completely spent, so I released my hold on her hands and pushed her down until she was flat on the bed. Gripping the sides of her waist, I made slow circles grinding into her, thanking God that my dick was still stiff.
Leaning forward until my chest was against her back, I wrapped my forearm around her throat. I kissed the side of her face then peppered kisses along her jaw until I pecked her lips.
“You not gon’ nut for me, baby?”
“I did already,” she whined.
“You cheating, Cookie?” I grinned, grateful that I had completed my mission, but now I was greedy.
“No.”
“Yes, you are. You didn’t tell me. Now, just for that, give me another one.”
I shoved my hand under her, searching until my fingers found her clit. My tongue swiped across her sweat dampened skin, tasting the saltiness before biting down on her shoulder. With my dick back to its full hardness, I pounded into her until her mouth hung open, and her erratic moans were accompanied by a flash flood wetting both me and the bed. No woman had ever made me nut so fast.
“That’s it, my baby. Let it go,” I said, kissing her back as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
I continued kissing my way down her back until my lips pressed into the soft skin of her plump ass. Us cumming at the same time felt spiritual. There was no way that I was going to let Divine go. She had to let me talk to her brothers. I knew we were meant to be together. I just needed her to see things my way.
With a final kiss on her ass, I stood to go to the bathroom. I was so eager to hold Divine that I didn’t bother running her a bath. I cleaned myself up and washed my hands then went to do the same for Divine. I shook my head as I picked up my briefs and put them back on.
Her little ass was knocked out, which was a key indicator that I had done what I set out to do. Still, after cleaning my baby up, I went to the kitchen to grab her after-care snacks. I grabbed a couple of bottles of water from the fridge before going back to her bedroom with everything in tow.
I put everything on the nightstand and slid into the bed next to Divine. There was coconut oil on her nightstand that I would use for her massage. I pulled her head into my lap and picked up the oil from her nightstand. Instead of putting the oil on her back and risking it being too cold, I put it on my hands first and rubbed them together to warm it up. I took my time rubbing her back and shoulders and just enjoying the sheer beauty of the woman I loved. As peaceful and perfect as it felt just letting her sleep in my lap, I missed her. I continued to massage her back as I leaned in and kissed her temple.
“That feels really good. Thank you, Liam.”
“You’re welcome, love. I need you to eat something.”
Her eyes fluttered open. “You must have known I was hungry.”
“I knew you needed to refuel.”
“Tell me about it.” She chuckled under her breath as she picked up one of the wraps.
“How you feeling, Cookie?”
“Better.”
“Did I help you decompress and de-stress?”
“Oh for sure.” She nodded. “You even used my favorite sandwich spread. See why I say you’re not normal?”
“What am I then, Divine?”
Taking a bite of her wrap, she seemed to consider her answer before speaking. “You’re just… you’re Liam. You’re supposed to be perfect.”
“Perfect?” I chuckled.
“You know what I mean, Lee.” She rolled her eyes.
“I’m sorry. I really don’t.”
“You’ve seen me at my worst. You know I’m a train wreck with an unstable family. You’ve seen all of that, and it hasn’t sent you running for the hills. I need someone to see that and still be able to fall in love with me.”
“Hmph. You think I haven’t?” I laughed.
There was no way she didn’t know.
