The feel of the bed dipping beside me had me rolling over. Almost instantly, I was met with the smell of something sweet. Without having to open my eyes, I knew who the culprit was. Reaching out, I grabbed her hand and pulled her on top of me.
“What took you so long to show up?”
“I didn’t know you wanted me to,” she mumbled.
Reaching down, I grabbed the hem of her shirt and pulled it up. Talitha straddled me and helped me remove the shirt from her body. Next came her bra. I wanted to feel her bare body on top of mine.
Fumbling with her joggers, I pulled them down and used my feet to remove them, leaving her in her panties. Leaning down, she laid her head on my chest and wrapped her arms around my back.
“You hurt my feelings.”
“Go to Hell, Harvey.” She laughed. “Your feelings don’t get hurt.”
“They do, especially when you question my intentions.”
“That’s not what I was doing.”
“You sure?” Peeling my eyes open, I stared at her. “It sure as hell felt like it.”
“If you’ve had a change of heart Harvey, why not just say so?” she queried.
“Have you reached the point where you feel like you’re capable of having someone love you?”
“I uh...” she stuttered. “Um... I.” Sucking in a deep breath, she shook her head against my chest.
“Then that’s why.”
I wouldn’t tell her that my feelings had changed. She just admitted that she wasn’t in a position to receive it. So, in translation this conversation was pointless.
“You left me today,” she whined.
“You gave me no choice.”
“You promised you wouldn’t leave.”
“I left your house. I didn’t leave you.”
“Then, why does it feel like you did?”
“You’ve gotta ask yourself that, love.” Dragging my arms above my head, I stretched and let out a yawn. I hadn’t too long got into bed.
After I left Talitha’s, I came home and had a few drinks before I let my neo soul playlist lull me into a peaceful slumber. I had a feeling before the night was over with, she would show up.
Talitha had admitted on several occasions that she didn’t get a good night’s rest unless we were in bed together and I expected tonight to be no different.
“Would it make it better if I apologized?”
“Don’t apologize for how you feel, love. Do better with trusting what I show you and not what I’ve told you.”
The feel of her face turning up let me know that she was smiling, “I can do that.”
“Good.” Kissing the top of her head, I reached down and cupped her ass. “Goodnight Talitha.”
“Night Harvey,” she mumbled against my chest.

“Law….” Talitha moaned.
“Say it again, baby,” I pleaded. Tossing her legs in the crease of my arms, I held them tight while rotating my hips.
When I woke up this morning, my mans was on go at the sight of Talitha’s chocolate pebbled nipples.
At some point in the night, she’d rolled off me and was lying next to me with her head tucked under my arm. I decided to slip under the cover and wake her up in the most proper way.
“Ssss...” she hissed. “That feels so good.”
“I know it does. Just like that.” I praised when she twirled her hips against me. Lifting her back off the bed, she reached up and wrapped her arms around my neck.
“Fuck me baby!” she begged.
Obliging her request, I dropped her legs, wrapped them around my waist, and cuffed her ass in my hands.
Bringing her up and down on my shaft, every time I brought her down, Talitha flexed her pussy around my dick.
The feel of her suctioning around me caused my body to flush with heat. “Damn baby!” I groaned.
She felt different. Wetter than normal. Maybe it was the fact that tonight we’d reached a pivotal point in our relationship.
Maybe the river flowing between her thighs was her way of telling me that she was ready to receive the kind of love I knew I could give her. Was this her acceptance?
Tossing her head back, she yelped, “Law! I’m about to cum!”
“Let it out love. Cum for me.”
Holding her tightly against my chest, I stroked her faster from the bottom. When her hands latched onto my back, her fingers dug into my skin letting me know she was on the verge of releasing.
Leaning down, I bit the veiny part of her neck before sucking it into my mouth. “Cum Talitha,” I growled and traced her vein with my tongue.
“Uhn uhn uhn,” she chanted after every thrust before yelling out my name.
Instead of letting up, I impaled her up and down faster, stroking her through her orgasms. Talitha placed her head in the crease of my neck. Between the feel of her breathing roughly against my neck and her pussy cuffing my dick tightly, my balls started tingling.
“Shit!” I huffed, feeling myself nearing the end.
Biting down roughly on my neck, she ordered, “Cum Harvey.”
On command, my nut shot out of my dick and coated her walls.
“Best fucking way to wake up,” she moaned a sigh of contentment after coming down from the high we were on.
“Hell yeah!” I agreed.
Unwrapping her hands from my neck, she leaned up enough for me to plop out of her before tossing her back against the bed.
“What you trying to do today?”
“It.” She laughed.
“We just did it, love.”
“I know. And I wanna do it again.” Pointing toward my bathroom she added, “In there.”
“I’ve gotta feed you baby.”
“I’m not hungry,” she pouted.
“You gotta eat, Howard.”
“Fine,” she groaned. “I need to check in on Gema anyway.”
“You handle that while I shower and figure out what we’re going to eat.”
“Orrrrr, I can shower with you,” she offered.
“Or, I can shower alone; you can call Gema and after we eat, I’ll give you what you’re asking for. Doesn’t that sound like a better alternative?”
“No but I’ll settle for it.” She giggled. “I should probably go and push this out, huh?”
“Unless you trying to be somebody mama, you probably should.”
I’d nutted in her again without a care in the fucking world. Her pussy was too good for me to put it anywhere else. We’d long crossed the line of stressing about protection, and I didn’t see us ever going back.

“When’s the last time you talked to your Mama?”
“My dick is still buried inside of you, and this is the conversation you want to have.”
“Cuddling and conversation. Remember, that was one of your conditions.”
“I know what the fuck I said Talitha,” I groaned.
“So, this is the conversation,” she snapped.
“Yesterday. We talked after I got off the phone with you.”
“How is she doing?”
“Good. Got an appointment with orthopedics next week. I’m going to shoot up there so I can find out what they got to say.”
“Good. Have you decided if you’re going to do family therapy with them?”
“I am,” I breathed. “I’ll go up as much as my schedule permits. The other sessions will be done via Zoom.”
Rubbing her hands down my back she said, “I’m happy for you Harvey.”
“As long as it does some good, I’ll stick with it. If shit starts going sideways, I’ll bow out gracefully.”
“You think she’s going to be truthful?”
“Shit. I hope so,” I yawned. “It would be wise of her to do so.”
“I think she will. Gema even said she seemed like she was ready to genuinely mend y’all relationship.”
“If Gema felt that way, then it must be truth.”
“Right.” She laughed. “Gema be knowing.”
“You ready for her to come home?”
“It’s only been twenty-four hours Harvey,” she huffed.
“Has that ever mattered before?” I countered.
“No. But this time I’m at peace. I didn’t feel like she was going to be put in any dangerous situations. And I needed this break. We needed it.”
Lifting my head from her chest, I gazed into her eyes. “You do know that I have no issues with us having to move around Gema’s schedule? It doesn’t bother me that we can’t spend every waken moment together.”
“No, I know,” she rushed out. “But we’re a couple, Harvey. We deserve to have couple time. I’m learning to be okay with sharing her with them. Prior to you coming along, fuck no. Now I understand the importance of having that time reserved just for you and I.”
“I understand. I don’t want you to feel like you’ve gotta choose though. I’ll come second to Gema the rest of my life and be content as long as I get the opportunity to be in your presence, even if only for a moment.”
“I know you do. Besides, Mrs. Jessie be needing a break too. All three of us are basically consumed with Gema twenty-four-seven. All I’m saying is, this break was needed.”
“Okay. As long as we’re on the same page. Gema isn’t a burden.”
“No, she’s not.”
Pecking that space between her breast, I laid my head back down. “We’ve gotta figure out who all we’re inviting to Vail.”
“I know. I thought about that the other day. Your mama and brother of course. Promise said her and Drix could come. I would say Baker, but I don’t think his wife likes me that much.”
“I told you it’s not that she doesn’t like you, it’s that she’s close with Dah. If you don’t feel comfortable with her coming, I won’t extend the invite.”
“I like Baker, so I don’t really want to exclude him.”
“The house is huge. How about I put the two of them on the opposite side?”
“You’d do that for me?”
Leaning my head up again, I squinted my eyes. “Did you really just ask me that?”
“It was a joke, Harvey. Relax.”
“Better fucking be!” I yawned again.
“That’s like the third or fourth time. Please go to sleep. You’re making me feel like I’m boring you.”
“All we’ve done today is fuck and eat. Of course, I’m tired. Exhausted perhaps.” I chuckled. “I’m damn near killing myself trying to keep up with you.”
“Old man, you’ve got to be kidding me. The second and third round, I’ll take credit for. The first and the rest of them are all on you.”
“It’s not every day that I get to play hooky from work. What better way to do it than digging in your shit.?” I laughed and humped her leg.
“See what I mean. Good night, Harvey.”
“Night Harvey,” I said just to fuck with her. Instead of taking the bait, Talitha laughed and wrapped her arms around me.

The blaring of my cellphone jarred me from my sleep. My eyes roamed around the dark room before landing on the nightstand where the phone was sitting.
