Aftermath
Protect them with your love and be there for Alfonzo , let him know you’re always going to stand with him a s his post. But, live…live for yourself, too !
    Love’s a soulful dance , and stop walk ing in doubt.  
    ‘ Just live, love hard and do you girl . Be happy so when death comes, you can shrug and say, so what, come bitch I ’ve had my fun !
    She inhaled and screwed the top on the tube of cream then made herself comfortable . She smoothed down the edge of her satin lingerie and stretched her legs , hoping to be irresistible when Alfonzo arrived . She tried reading as a distraction but h er body yearned for him and a romance novel made it worse.
    Unable to concentrate , the book was discarded next to her iPod and cream which became its nightstand companions.
    God, she wish he ’d hurry before sleep snatched her away. He could hang out to dawn with Domingo and the guys drinking and talking mess. Then again, he might be downstairs talking business . Whatever, the reason for his nonappearance she only hoped he brought his butt to bed .
    The children were asleep. Maria, of course insist ed on sleeping with the babies l ik e an overprotective Nana . Selange allowed the woman to have her way this once because she understood they were still s omewhat shaken-up over their harrowing ordeal . Heck, she was!
    She turned on her side , reached over and raised the volume on her iPod at the instrumental portion of a mood setting song . Her playlist tonight was filled with romantic ballads . There were classics and different genres that could fire the libido all night long.
    Her body relaxed. The dim light, the soft music and the cozy bed were lulling her to sleep.
    ‘ These lips can’t wait to taste your skin,
    Baby….no….
    And these eyes can’ t wait to see your grin…
    The door opened . When she heard it, she smiled . The one she craved entered th e bedroom. He was a vision of chic in the dark tailored suit, which served to highlight his bright eyes.
    An eyebrow ascended when he saw her in the sexy baby doll outfit and the warm reception in the lusty curve of her lips . The music set the tone and he was ready for some chocolate dessert. “Waiting long, chica?”
    “Um…you’re worth the wait, guapo.”
    He locked the door and quic kly loosen ed his tie, “ Is the sexy lady complimenting me? There’s a time you weren’t as generous with the flattery . ” He threw the tie on the chair beside the door and his Armani jacket followed . The sea color of his irises were torrential pools of lust washing over her body.
    She chuckled and he worked the diamond cuff-links loose without breaking eye contact, “What’s so funny?”
    “Oh I may not have verbalized to you how hot you were , but at night… ,” she answered then licked the heart-shaped mouth , “ … Ooooh amor… when I imagined y ou touching my body, it held you in high esteem.”
    Hot da mn, she never told him that. H e was completely turned-on!
    Baby these fist, uh, will always protect ya... Lady ,
    God, babe, it’s true, I’ll always protect you, Alfonzo’s mind screamed in chorus to the song.
    A nd th is mind will never neglect you…
    I’ll never neglect you r mind or body again; I swear the bass in his brain echoed.
    And if they try to break us down ,
    Don't let that affect us …
    That’s right; don’t let the outside mess affect us . We’re from the rough parts of New York. It prepared us for anything, so just hold on to me and let’s ride this love whip until the goddamn wheels and doors fall off , he thought !
    He was hyped and his hands moved faster . That music was speaking his sentiments . He was going crazy because h e wanted to make love to her so bad h is fingers weren’t moving fast enough.
    Alfonzo play ed it cool , but there were pinballs bouncing around every corner of his chest. “ Do I get a preview of what I inspired ?”
    Let my love adorn you, baby ,
    Don't you ever ,
    Don't you let no one tell you different, baby
    Always
