Chapter 7 – Bradley
“You’re joking,” she said to me.
I touched the side of her face with a lone finger, sliding it from her cheek down to her chin. “No, I’m not joking.”
“How can that be possible, Brad? You’ve never gave me a clue that you liked me like that. I mean, all the times we hung out, been around each other when both of us were in relationships. We even doubled dated a few times.”
I sighed.
“I know we did, and I figured that’s what you wanted.”
“What?!” She sat up slightly, causing me to do the same. “Are you on something?”
“No, I don’t think so,” I laughed.
“God, Brad, all that time wasted and you didn’t say a thing to me.”
“Yeah, neither did you, I might add. If you felt something for me, why did it take you so long to tell me?”
She looked at me, but didn’t reply right away. I took this opportunity to rest my back against the wall, move the covers from her and position her between my legs. When her head and back rested on my chest, she confessed, “I wanted to, but it seemed every time I got up the nerve to tell you, I couldn’t. I always thought you just looked at me as your buddy. It just seemed like you never noticed me.”
“Don’t you remember me telling that you I’ve seen you since we were thirteen when we were in Miami?”
“Yeah, but you didn’t say that you were in love with me… Do you remember my prom day?”
“Uh-huh.”
How could I forget, I wanted to add.
“When you said you wanted to come by I thought, finally. Maybe, just maybe you will see me as someone more than just your friend. But that didn’t happen.” She chuckled lightly. “I mean, you and Terrence acting all big brother-like was cute, but I was really hoping for more. I was hoping you’d be jealous, but no, you just stood there as I drove away with another guy.”
I frowned and pushed her up a little. I turned her until our eyes met. “Are you kidding me? Ayana, I was going out of my mind. First, you looked beautiful that night. I mean, to me you were always beautiful, but that night...” I shook my head. “Ayana, I wanted to tell you right then how I felt about you. That was actually my plan when I said I was coming over. Number one, I felt like shit because you were going to the prom without me. Number two, I just couldn’t stomach you being with that son of a bitch. I wanted to beat the shit out of him.”
She chuckled and touched my face. I took a deep breath and admitted. “Seeing you with him drove me crazy. It took everything in me to let you go. I was so pissed at myself for not telling you how I felt, but I didn’t think it would matter.”
“You have no idea how much it would have,” she said softly. I leaned into her and kissed her lightly on the lips.
“Would you have told that piece of shit to get lost?” I asked her in between kissing her.
She turned her body more to face me allowing me better access to her lips. “Most definitely.”
I moved the covers from us as she turned completely, climbing on top of me. I slid down, lying on my back and letting her take over, but the moment I saw her tense up, I stopped kissing her. “Baby, you know we don’t have to do anything tonight. I’m not going anywhere.”
“I know, but I want to. I want you, Bradley,” she said softly, and I became hard as a rock.
I turned her over, laying her on her back gently. “Then let me take care of you, baby.” I went right for her sweet spot on her neck.
“Please, baby, I need you.” Her voice was soft and sexy as shit. Damn, she’s going to undo me. I have to stay in control. I was going to fuck her in half if I didn’t. I knew I wouldn’t be able to go slow with her. I wanted her that damn bad.
I took my time and moved down her beautiful chocolate covered body, going right to her taunt nipples. “Don’t worry, baby. I’ll definitely take care of you.”
I quickly took one of her nipples in my mouth and began to suck gently at first, rolling my tongue around and around while squeezing and rubbing her other one in between my fingers.
Her hand went into my hair as she moaned with pleasure. “Yes… Bradley, that feels so good.”
I moved from one to the next, making sure to bring as much pleasure I could before I traveled south. I loved this woman’s body. She was so responsive, so beautiful. I loved making her body scream for me, cream for me.
I moved past her torso, spread her legs to make room for my shoulders and attacked one of the glorious playgrounds of her body.
The instant my tongued touched her, she tried to close her legs. “Brad… Oh shit, baby”
