18. Salem
I wasn’t naturally a patient man, but I had strong faith.
When I prayed about Koi, I heard God clearly tell me to be patient and wait for my woman.
I knew that she was mine, and there was no doubt in my heart about that.
I just needed her to know that she belonged to me and find her peace in that.
Once she came to me, I promised never to let her go again.
It had been four weeks since we last saw one another. I thought that I saw her at my graduation, but there were thousands of people there. So, I couldn’t be sure. I had done a lot in that time, including visiting the school again and speaking with the dean.
I pulled the door open to see Koi standing on the other side with her finger extended to ring the bell. I was about to head out to handle some last-minute business. My heart was full at the sight of her, yet fear crept into my belly as I prayed that she wasn’t here to say goodbye.
“Hey.”
“Hey, yourself, stranger.”
She smiled slowly. “I missed those,” she confessed as she reached a hand up to poke her finger into one of my dimples.
“What’s that?” I asked, pointing at the large package underneath her arm.
“Can I come in?”
“Yeah.” I pulled the door open wider and followed her into my apartment after closing the door.
“You look like you were about to go somewhere.”
“I was. Heading out to handle some business.”
She looked down and then up at me again. “Should I come back?”
“No, you’re good. Whatcha got?”
She lifted the package onto the island in my kitchen.
“Open it. It’s yours.”
“Mine?” I asked, grinning. “I hope this isn’t a goodbye gift.”
“It’s my apology to you.”
“Baby, I don’t need an apology. The only thing that I care about is making sure that you’re whole. As long as you’re coming back to me, that’s what matters. No apologies necessary. I get that you’ve got a lot going on and needed some time alone.”
“I needed to make sure that I took time to be whole for you, Salem. I needed to make sure that the decisions I was making were the best ones.”
“That’s fine, but remember, in the future, I will always be here to help you make whatever decisions you need to make. You never have to do this alone, baby.”
She nodded. “Open it,” she demanded giddily.
“Okay, okay.” I untied the string that was tied around the brown paper wrapping. My eyes widened as I slowly removed the paper and peeled it away.
The large canvas was in a gold, ornate frame, with etched leaves in the frame. But it wasn’t the pricey frame that drew my attention, but the picture that was held inside.
It was a life-sized portrait of me. It wasn’t the picture of me at the art studio in the nude. I had seen that picture already at her place. This picture was something new that I hadn’t even known she was painting.
“What’s this? When did you do it?” I asked in fascination.
She tugged at the cross around her chain. “Do you like it?” she asked nervously.
“Baby, I love it! When did you do this?”
“I’ve been working on it for weeks.”
“I don’t recall you taking this picture, Koi.”
“I took it in my mind’s eye. It was the day that you were engaged in that political debate with Tyler Somers in class right after spring break.
You were so passionate about your topic, emotional dynamics of relationships, and I remember being so proud of you because you were finally passionate about something.
But not just passionate, but well informed, in control, and knowledgeable about your topic. ”
I chuckled, recalling that day very well. I had left my opponent lost for words and stammering as he tried to refute my points.
“Yeah, I remember. That wasn’t long after we discussed passion.”
“I’m so glad that you listened.”
“I’m glad that you taught me all about passion, baby. But it wasn’t in the classroom where I learned my most valuable lessons. They were right here,” I explained and pulled her into my arms. “Right in this apartment is where you taught me everything that I needed to know about passion.”
Koi threw her arms around my neck and pulled me down. “I missed you so badly,” she confessed against my lips before she pressed into a kiss.
My arms wrapped around her as I untied the halter top that was tied behind her neck. Slowly, the material bunched between our chests as we continued to kiss, exploring everything that we had missed in the last month.
Her mouth was warm and sweet, and she reminded me of everything that my soul craved in that kiss. She brought back to mind everything that she had taught me in the weeks we shared.
Her taste was engraved in my soul, and I loved how we made love to each other’s mouths. My hands dropped to her waist, and I maneuvered them to the front of her waistband. I slid the button of her jeans through the hole before I unzipped them.
Koi shook her body as I worked her jeans over her hips. When she stood before me in nothing but her thong, my dick ached to be buried inside of her. I refused to rush this reunion between us. I wanted to taste and touch every part of her soul and being.
She stared into my eyes as she hooked her thumb into the waistband of her thong and tugged it down.
“I wish that I could sculpt you, beautiful. But no matter what could be created by man’s hands, nothing would ever compare to the masterpiece that you are. God outdid Himself when he created you.”
She smiled sweetly at me and stepped closer.
“You’re the perfect one,” she whispered. “A vision of ecstasy.”
“We’re beautiful together,” I replied.
I pulled my graphic T-shirt over my head and unfastened my denim cargo shorts. Toeing my gym shoes off, I allowed Koi to tug my underwear down. I watched her kneel as she tugged them down to my feet. When I stepped out of them, she remained on her knees.
“I missed him so much,” she confessed as she took my weeping arousal into her hands. Her tongue made an appearance and licked away the precum that beaded at the tip of my dick.
My eyes closed as she took me into her mouth. My fingers cupped the back of her head, and I gently pulled her closer. I loved that my baby had no gag reflex at all. She slowly worked her way further back until she had me at the back of her throat.
This woman had the power to make me feel like a little boy sometimes. I damn sure needed to step up my game if I didn’t want to nut prematurely. Yet she was so tempting and so good at what she did that I couldn’t pull out either.
I pulled back just a little and then thrust into her mouth again. I thrust deeper and deeper each time, holding her head firmly between my hands. Just before I came, I pulled out.
“You taste so good, Salem. Give me more,” she begged.
On her knees like that, begging to suck my dick, she was about to get fucked up in here. Instead, I bent and lifted her into my arms and carried her into my bedroom.
When she lay on my bed looking like an angel sent from heaven above, I spread her legs wide. My thumb slid between her wetness, and I smirked when her clitoris hardened, seeking attention.
I rolled her button between my index finger and thumb. She arched her back and moaned. “Please don’t tease me, Salem.”
“Not teasing you, baby. Just giving you the attention you want.”
“I want more.”
“Tell me what you want.”
“I want you to eat my pussy.”
“You sure that’s all you want?”
“I want . . . Mmm, I want you to eat my pussy and then choke me while you fuck me.”
I snickered. “Look at the professor. You’re being a bad girl. Think I like this version of the professor,” I confessed.
“Please,” she begged.
I dropped between her thighs, lifted them over my shoulders, and munched like she was the first meal I had eaten all day. My fingers found their way into her asshole, and she pumped up and down.
I ate her until she orgasmed on my tongue, wetting my lips, nose, and mustache. I immediately climbed onto the bed with her when she finished. I didn’t want any time wasted between tasting her and being inside of her.
Koi lifted her legs and wrapped them around my back. I slid easily into her, drenched by her wetness, and pulled tighter into her snug fit as she tightened her pussy around me.
My hands reached up to cup her face, and she grabbed her breasts and fondled them lovingly. I leaned in and sucked them until tears poured from the corners of her eyes.
“I’m so sensitive down there.” She cried as I rubbed her clitoris and gyrated in circles inside of her pussy.
I wasn’t letting up. I enjoyed being connected with her once again, and I needed to show her everything that she had missed in the last month.
When I finally pulled away from her breasts, I covered her mouth with mine in a deep kiss. My hand gently rested at her neck until I began to squeeze. Her eyes lit with excitement the tighter my grip grew, until I was choking her.
My strokes grew longer, more intense and more focused as I choked her and released intermittently. “You’re never leaving me again. I let you get that off once, but you need to know that was the first and last time. You feel me?”
“Yes.”
“Yes, what?”
“Yes, I understand. I’m never leaving again.”
“Good.”
I rocked into her hard, pumping until she was screaming, and I showed her little ass no mercy. My fingers gripped her hips and dug into the flesh there. I pummeled her with an intensity I had never fucked her with before. My balls slammed into her, and my left hand gripped her neck.
With my right hand, I pushed her left leg back and dug deeper into her.
“You punished this dick and your pussy for a whole month. I know she missed him.”
“God, yes, she did!”
“Never again, Koi.” I grunted and kept slamming into her harder and faster.
“Never!” she shouted.
I knew that she would be sore in the morning. I didn’t care. She needed to know not to fuck around with my heart again.
