she felt. She kissed him again, passionately, and moved his hand to her breast.
“Does it look like I’m playing?” she breathed in his ear. She stood up and took Carlos’s hand. He stood, also, and then lifted her effortlessly and carried her to the bedroom. She was glad now that she had decided to take a chance earlier and light candles and spread scented rose petals on the bed.
Carlos laid Nikki on the bed as he planted soft kisses on her face. Nikki knew when she looked into his eyes that she could not stop. He easily slipped off her silky top and as he unhooked the black lace bra, he stopped to marvel at her perfect breasts. He gently kissed and suckled each one as if he were a baby. He gently trailed kisses from her breasts to her navel. Before he removed her black panties, he looked up at her as if to say, “Are you sure you’re ready for this?” She touched his cheek as he continued. She moaned in delight as he slid the panties down and gently kissed the center of her womanhood. He moved slowly down her legs, moving his tongue lightly against her thighs, kissing softly until he reached her feet where he took each toe in his mouth and sucked it gently. Nikki thought that she would die from the sheer passion that she felt.
Carlos stood to take off his own clothes, never taking his eyes off of Nikki. She could see in the candlelight the desire in his eyes. When he removed his pants, she gasped, knowing that she would soon be the recipient of what she saw. Nikki thought he would enter her right away, but instead he opened her legs and continued to taste her liquid as if she were a fine wine. As Nikki tried to reciprocate, he held her hands to stop her. He told her that this night was all about her and he wanted only to please her. Nikki felt as though she might pass out from the intensity of what Carlos was doing to her. Then, finally, he entered her, moving slowly at first, finding a common rhythm between them. Then, when he could no longer contain his passion for her, his strokes became intense and deliberate. She moaned with ecstasy. Never had she experienced such complete joy making love.
Carlos found places on her body she didn’t know existed. He explored, he touched, he tasted and he wanted to make love to her again and again. As soon as Nikki had reached her peak and thought their lovemaking was over, Carlos would pull her body close to him and they would start again.
Before they knew it, daylight was attempting to break through the dark curtains in her room and Nikki knew that this would be the start of a wonderful new day for her.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Carlos left at the break of dawn, but the sweet, musky smell of lovemaking mixed with his cologne lingered on her sheets and in her bedroom. She clung to her pillow for as long as she could, trying not to lose the magic of what had taken place.
When she finally got out of bed to get ready for work, she actually sang with the radio as she dressed.
As she was about to walk out the door, the phone rang. It was Carlos.
“Good morning, pretty lady.”
“Good morning, yourself,” she said, smiling and caressing the phone.
“I would ask you how your night was, but I think I know.”
“Yeah, I spent it with a certain handsome, younger man.”
“ Oh, did you? I trust everything was to your liking?”
“Way beyond anything I could have imagined,” Nikki said, closing her eyes, remembering.
“I just wanted you to know that last night was special for me, too. One night of many, I hope. Have a good day at work and I will talk to you later.”
“You, too, Carlos. Bye for now.”
All morning at work, Tia kept trying to get Nikki to tell her how her evening with Carlos had gone, but Nikki had two legal briefs to type up and didn’t have time to talk. She
