6. Keondra Daily #2
Swallowing my pride, I apologized. “I’m sorry, Colony. I wasn’t trying to upset you or accuse you of anything. If you can’t tell, I’m not too trusting when it comes to people. You’re the first person I’ve let get this close in a long time, and it’s scary.”
“It’s fine, Keondra. I understand, but I also don’t like being painted as someone I’m not. The more you get to know me, the more you’ll see my heart is in the right place.”
I nodded. “I hear you. Once again, I’m sorry.”
“Like I said, it’s fine.”
“You intrigue me too,” I admitted while we were in the heat of the conversation, and I still had some confidence. “That’s one reason I’m scared too.”
I walked up behind her, pressing my body against her back.
Colony froze, but I could feel her lean into me.
“You’re pretty as hell, Colony, and I can tell it comes from the inside out.
The way you treat my daughter makes you far more attractive than any woman I’ve ever dealt with.
I want to get to know you, but I’ll keep it real and let you know I’m guarded.
Any wrong move, and I’m liable to cut anyone off. It’s something I’m working on.”
“I’m guarded too, Keondra. I’ve been through some shit that’s scarred me as well, but I’m open.
” She paused and sighed. “If we’re going to have this conversation, I’m going to need you to remove yourself from me.
I haven’t been touched like this in a long time, Keondra, and there are thoughts going through my mind that’s distracting me. ”
“What kind of thoughts?”
“Thoughts like how it would feel for you to have me bent over this sink.”
Colony’s straightforwardness caught me off guard. Most women were shy when it came to sexual talk, so for her to say what was truly on her mind had me bricking up. I had to step back before she felt my member against her ass, and I ended up making her thoughts a reality.
Clearing my throat, I pushed my glasses up and said, “My bad. I wasn’t trying to distract you, but damn . . . Now you have me distracted.”
“Do I need to leave?”
“No, you’re good. I can control myself.”
Colony was quiet for a moment before saying, “But what if I can’t control myself?”
Once again, she had me stunned. There I was, trying to be respectful, and she was telling me what she desired. I’d be a fool to turn the other cheek. Colony and I didn’t know one another well, but we were grown as hell. Just like it’d been a long time for her, it’d been one for me too.
Stepping up behind her again, I snaked my arms around her waist and rested one hand on her lower stomach.
Colony leaned her head back onto my chest. I loved how she was on the taller side for a woman, standing at about five feet eight, but she was still short compared to my six-foot-two frame.
The way she felt in my arms was indescribable.
It was as if she’d been crafted to fit perfectly into my embrace.
Things with Colony felt different, and I had to coach myself to embrace it.
Colony placed her hand on top of mine and slipped it through the waistband of her leggings. Not only was she straightforward, but she was also bold. I stood back and followed her lead, allowing her to direct me to exactly where she wanted me to go.
My middle finger eased down her slick slit, finding her swollen bud that was damn near throbbing from anticipation. Sliding my other hand up to her neck, I gently squeezed and asked, “Are you sure about this, Colony?”
Gradually, I started circling my finger against her bud as I waited for her to answer.
“Yes,” she assured me in a breathy tone.
I moved my thumb and kissed an exposed part of her neck.
“The gentleman you see before you becomes a whole different man in the bedroom.”
“Show him to me.”
With my hand still massaging her clit, I turned Colony around and hungrily kissed her.
When our lips met, precum oozed from my tip.
I’d been waiting to feel and taste them since I first laid eyes on her, and they were everything I imagined.
The sweetness from her lip gloss mixed with the intertwining of our flesh was exhilarating.
I deepened the kiss, slipping my finger inside her mound.
She breathed the sexiest moan against my mouth, and just as we were getting deeper into it, Kehlani’s weak voice called out to me.
“Daddy? Where are you?”
Seconds later, I could hear her little slippers shuffling across the floor.
Colony and I swiftly removed ourselves from one another.
I went to the sink to wash my hands while Colony started back washing dishes.
Kehlani came around the corner with her bottom lip quivering and tears pooling in her eyes.
“What’s wrong, KeKe?”
Puke spewing from her mouth was her answer. I rushed over to her and allowed her to get it all out before picking her up and carrying her to the bathroom. The virus had her down bad, and it was obvious I wouldn’t be able to do a thing until she felt better.
It took me about forty-five minutes to get Kehlani situated.
She refused to let me out her sight for too long, so I went to the kitchen to find that Colony had cleaned up Kehlani’s mess and finished cleaning everything else up for me.
The only thing missing was her. I checked the house, but she wasn’t anywhere to be found.
I pulled my phone out to call her to see she’d sent me a text.
Colony:
I’m sorry I left without saying anything. I’m slightly embarrassed for how I acted. It was out of character for me, so I apologize and hope you don’t see me differently. Give Kehlani my love. If the two of you need anything, let me know.
After rereading her text a few times, I decided to call her. Surprisingly, she answered on the second ring.
“Hello?”
“You didn’t have to leave, Colony. I was enjoying your company,” I admitted as I trailed my fingers through my beard.
“As I was you, but I didn’t need to distract you when Kehlani needs all your attention.”
“You were the distraction I needed, though. A welcomed distraction.”
My fingertips tingled thinking about pleasing Colony again. The way her walls suctioned my fingers in, refusing to spit them out, let me know she hadn’t been spread thin in a while. I would love nothing more than to be the one to change that for her.
A low moan came through the phone. I closed my eyes and exhaled. “Don’t do that, Colony.”
“Let’s . . . take things slowly.”
“How slow?”
“Like, let’s get to know one another before we decide to cross that line. As tempting as it is, I don’t want physical intimacy to cloud our judgment on anything. Does that make sense?”
“It does, and I agree with you. Whenever Kehlani feels better, let me take you out on a date. I’ll plan everything. How does that sound?”
I could hear the smile in Colony’s voice when she agreed. “Yes, that sounds amazing.”
We ended the call, and I had to get my mind right before going to check on my baby girl. Colony had me all out of whack, but secretly, I loved it. I’d forgotten how nice it could feel getting to know the right person, and Colony seemed like someone I could truly vibe with.
