Uh… Wow!
He leaned in and captured my mouth softly.
When he pulled away, he asked, “Is that okay?”
I was completely speechless, so all I did was nod.
“Great, let’s get going then.” He playfully smacked my ass again and grinned broadly.
He took my hand in his, and we grabbed our things and left his apartment.
Moving my things into his apartment took next to no time at all. I didn’t really take anything with me but my clothes, and hell, Josh barely let me walk out of the apartment with those. He helped me clean, and we emptied the cabinets and refrigerator of food. We packed up some old clothes and pots and pans, silverware, cups, and plates to give to the Salvation Army. I packed up sheets and comforters for pickup too.
We had to take a few trips back and forth to his apartment, but by Wednesday I had everything I owned packed up in the office of Josh’s apartment.
Thursday the Salvation Army was scheduled to pick up everything, so Josh and I headed to my apartment to say goodbye to my old second life and hello to the start of my third.
Third time’s a charm, right?
When we returned to the apartment, Josh and I started packing for our trip the next day. As I packed, my mind kept going back to something that I felt was missing. I actually felt like I was forgetting something this whole week, but I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. When I told Josh I had forgot something in the apartment, he reminded me that we went through every room in that place and it was empty when we left.
“Sweets, there’s no need for you to go anywhere near that building again, so don’t even think about it.”
“Was my apartment that bad?” I asked him, hearing something in his tone other than caution.
“No, it’s not that. I just don’t want you going back there without anyone, okay?”
I put my hand on my hips. “Don’t you think you’re overreacting? I mean, what are you worried about? If you think someone in my past will come here, no one knows where I am, and I doubt if they knew I was in Pittsburgh that they would find me in that apartment.”
Josh went in the bathroom and came back out with our toiletries.
“Sweets, my gut has gotten me out of a lot of shit, and right now I feel like you need to stay away from your apartment; even when I leave. You can go to work but don’t leave without Ivan walking you to the car and keep that Taser out and ready when you walk from the car to the elevator in the garage.”
Yes, Josh bought me a taser and showed me how to use it. He wanted to get me a gun, but I refused to carry one around the city. Besides, the time it would take for him to get a permit for the gun and show me how to use it, would take more time than he had. So the taser it was.
Josh also felt the need to make sure I knew how to get away from an attacker if I was not able to use the Taser for some reason. I knew some things from Joy, but he figured he’d show me quicker ways to incapacitate someone. I thought at first this could be fun. You know, grappling around with him on the floor has its advantages, but I was dead wrong. It seemed Josh was very serious when it came to training, and the drill sergeant Cooper made an appearance, and I have to tell you, I was not that fond of him.
Josh tossed and slammed me so many times, I was so sore for three days. But I will say he gave me some tactics to at least get out of a chokehold.
“Sweets, I’m serious, okay? If for some reason you need anything from that apartment, have someone go with you.”
I saluted, rolled my eyes, then squealed when I was grabbed from behind and tossed on the bed.
Now this is what I was talking about. I struggled a little until he was right where I wanted him to be, on top of me and my arms pinned above my head.
We smiled at each other until I noticed another look cross Josh’s face.
“God, I’m going to miss you, Sweets.”
I moved my legs from under him and wrapped them around his waist.
“I’m going to miss you, too.”
Josh moved to place his lips on my neck, and he proceeded to drive me insane. We lost our clothes very quickly in between our kisses and fondling, and before I could catch a breath he was inside me, filling me, making me wish I could keep him right where he was forever.
“I love you, Kenya” he told me, showing me how he felt as he slowly moved inside of me, stroking me deep as only he can.
My reply was on the tip of my tongue, but again, I couldn’t seem to let the words go. It had been like that for a while now, and I couldn’t seem to say the words to him. I tried to show him every day, but it was so frustrating that I hadn’t said them to him. So instead of saying the words, I closed my eyes and held him to me, not wanting to let go, ever…
We were kissing and grinding in a slow tantalized motion that had both our breaths catching and our hearts beating.
I want on top.
I bucked up slightly and attempted to roll him. He let me, and the moment I was where I wanted to be, I get on my feet, bending my legs, and I moved slowly up to the tip of him then slid down slowly while watching him lose control under me.
I moved like that, slowly, keeping my eyes on him, letting him feel how much I loved him.
Of course, he couldn’t take it this pace. Hell, neither could I, and we started picking it up, his hands on my hips moving me faster and faster. I went for my nipples and squeezed them as he brought me over the sexual edge.
We moaned and talked shit, and our lovemaking turned grimy and gritty as he flipped us over, pulled out and told me, “Face down, ass up, baby.”
“Yessssss!” I exclaimed excitedly, and he laughed, but that died the instant he slammed home.
“Fuck me hard, baby,” I told him as he gripped my hips and began to do just that.
“Yes, baby, more…. Yes…”
“Oh fuck, baby, keep talking shit… I fucking love it!” Josh growled, and I swore he moved faster and faster and I knew he was coming.
I tilted my hips up further, allowing him to sink deeper in me, knowing that he loved the feeling.
“Ohhhh… Baby, yess, just like that I’m…”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
I looked back at the entrance of the bedroom then back at him.
“I’m not stopping, baby,” Josh told me, but as the banging kept going, I knew he was getting pissed.
“Fuck,” he pulled out of me reluctantly, then moved to grab a pair of shorts.
Breathing deeply and flushed, he looked over my body. Damn, this man is so freaking sexy… I licked my lips, which made him growl again. He started toward me, but the banging on the door started again.
“I swear, baby, I’m fucking killing whoever’s at the door.”
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, too.
I heard Josh curse, then I heard him unlocking the door. “What the fuck do you want?”
I couldn’t hear a reply, but I heard a female’s voice then laughter. I sat up and tried to listen, but couldn’t hear a thing. I decided to get up and try and make myself useful. I went into the bathroom to clean myself up and ran my hands through my semi–damp hair.
I walked out and grabbed my clothes from the floor and just threw my dress back on.
Five minutes later, Josh came barreling into the room with a scowl on his forehead.
He looked at me and said, “I’m sorry, Sweets, I need to make a run real quick.”
“Who was at the door?” I asked him.
I had resumed packing, having to refold clothes that we tossed everywhere in our frenzy to get naked.
Josh sighed. “Misty and Jacks. They need me to take a ride with them to wrap up the case I was working on. Apparently they can’t handle this on their own.” The last part he yelled, probably for Misty and Jacks’ benefit.
“It’s okay, Josh. I’ll just finish packing, so we don’t have to worry about it when you get home.”
He walked up to me pulled me in his arms and kissed me.
“You are a life saver.”
Flustered from the kiss, I just waved at him.
“I’m going to jump in the shower for a few minutes.”
I was finished getting our clothes packed just as he was finished with, I swear, a three minute shower.
I sat on the bed and watched him dress in jeans and a long sleeve button up shirt… I asked, “How long will you be?”
As he put his watch on and grabbed his wallet off the dresser, he told me, “I’m not sure. We have to drive out toward Robinson, so no telling. I’m not going to make this an all–night thing though.” Josh went back in the closet, I assumed to get his service pistol. As he came back out, he said to me, “Come on walk me out.”
I stood and took his hand he had stretched out to me; I guess I couldn’t hide in the bedroom all night.
The moment Misty’s eyes fell on me, she gave me a huge smile and walked toward me.
She put her arms around me and squeezed me tight. “Hey, girl!”
When she pulled back, I smiled. “Hey.”
Misty was a very beautiful woman with her smooth chocolate skin. I couldn’t see how her and Josh had never been anything but partners. If I was a guy I’d probably want her…
“Hey, sorry for the late visit.”
I waved her off. “Oh it’s not a problem at all.”
Misty smiled bigger, then looked to my right. “See, I told you she was sweet. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I heard a grunt, and my smile dropped as quick and as genuine as its appearance. I turned to see Jacks sitting on my favorite couch. I almost forgot Josh said he was here.
