Chapter 2 #4
Shit. I’d barely talked to him since I’d been at the conference. After seeing all of his missed calls from last night, I still hadn’t reached out. I was too caught up in everything happening with Case, but I couldn’t avoid him forever.
I slipped out of the room into the surprisingly quiet hallway and answered the phone. “Hey.”
“Hey, what’s up. Been tryna reach you. How’s the conference going?”
“It’s really good. I just finished my keynote and the panel.”
“Oh, yeah? That’s what’s up. That’s what’s up.”
“Yeah, it went well. The keynote was powerful, and the panel was really engaging. People seemed to love it.”
“I may not say it often, but you really the shit, Roe.”
“Thanks. I appreciate that.” I leaned against the doorframe and there was a moment of silence between us where I could hear a woman’s voice in the background. “Who’s that?”
“Oh, that’s just my cousin,” he quickly replied and I heard some giggling from the woman. “She stopped by to bring me a plate from my aunt. When, uh… when you coming back to Arbor Hills?”
I felt my stomach tighten as I pulled the phone away from my ear for a second. Something about his tone was off to me, but I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly it was. Placing the phone back up to my ear, I replied, “Today’s the last day, so I’ll be home in the morning.”
“Cool, cool. I’ll make sure everything’s nice and straighten up when you get back.”
There was no “I miss you” or “I can’t wait to see you”. Nothing. He was just enjoying having my condo to himself, doing God knows what, and I knew right then and there what decision I had to make when I got home. For now, I’d let Regis have his fun since I was having mine.
And then I felt hands on my waist and lips on my neck. I gasped and turned around to see Case standing behind me with that same smirk on his face. I didn’t want anyone to possibly see us in the hall, so I quickly used my keycard and ushered us into my suite.
“Hey. You good over there?” Regis asked.
Case’s hands slid around my waist, pulling me back against him. His lips were on my neck, kissing, sucking, and I could feel his dick pressing against my ass. “Yeah, I, uh… just remembered I’m supposed to be getting ready for an early dinner with Shamari.”
“Oh, that’s cool,” Regis stated. “Where are y’all going to eat?”
Case’s hand slid down between my thighs, and I grabbed his wrist, trying to stop him. He just kept touching me, his fingers rubbing against my pussy. I cleared my throat. “To this, um… seafood place downtown probably.”
Case’s mouth was at my ear now, his voice low and rough. “Is that your nigga on the phone?” I nodded, trying to keep my breathing steady. “Tell him you gotta go,” he whispered. “You busy right now.”
I shook my head, but Case’s fingers were already sliding my panties to the side, finding my clit. I exhaled deeply, gripping the phone. “Regis, I’ll text you when I… when I get back in.”
“Yeah, sure. Have a good time.”
Case’s fingers slid inside me, and I bit my lip to keep from moaning. He was fingering me slowly, deeply, and I could feel myself getting wet. His fingers curled inside me, hitting that spot, and I had to close my eyes to keep from crying out.
“Okay. Later.” I ended the call and dropped the phone into the desk by the door. Case pulled his fingers out of me and turned me around to face him. “You’re crazy as hell for that,” I said, but I was smiling.
“Shut up. You loved it.” He brought his fingers to my mouth, waiting with his teeth tugging on his bottom lip. Closing my eyes, I sucked on his fingers, twirling my tongue and tasting my pussy juices. “Mmm. I’m tryna taste that pussy too.”
Laughing, I pushed him away and pointed to the bathroom. “My cousin is in there. You can’t just show up to my room, you know.”
“Why not? You tryna hide a nigga? Use me for orgasms only?” Case grinned, walking toward me.
I held out my hand. “No, of course not, but…”
“But what, baby? You got me feenin’ for that pussy.”
I chuckled. “You need to leave,” I said. “Shamari’s in the shower and…” Case grasped my neck and kissed me hard, his free hand gripping my ass, pulling me against him. I could feel his dick hard and thick against my stomach, and I wanted him. God, I wanted him so bad. I pulled away. “Not here.”
He looked at me for a long moment before the corner of his mouth lifted. “Aight, bet.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Bet what?”
“Meet me in my room in thirty minutes.”
My stomach immediately tightened. “Case…”
“I’m serious.” His voice dropped lower. “Thirty minutes, Roemy.”
I shook my head even though neither of us believed it. “You always think you’re getting your way.”
“‘Cause I usually do.” I rolled my eyes, fighting a smile as he took a step back and pointed at me. “Thirty minutes, Roe.”
“We’ll see.”
His grin widened. “Yeah, I better see your ass in thirty minutes.”
I laughed despite myself. He leaned in and pressed one last kiss to my lips before heading for the door.
I stood there staring at the closed door, trying to catch my breath and process everything that had just happened.
This man made me feel like I was discovering parts of myself I’d forgotten existed.
All I knew was that my eyes kept drifting toward the clock, counting down twenty minutes.
