Her eyes tangled with mine and for a long moment, she just gazed at me. “Yeah. I’m clear,” she said finally.
I followed her up the path and watched her unlock the door. The second we stepped in, everything changed. I had Topaz backed against the door before it finished closing, my lips pressed against hers.
“Saadiq!”
“What?”
She laughed against my mouth. “You could at least let me lock the damn door.”
“Lock it.”
“Yo’ big ass in the way.”
I reached behind her without taking my eyes off her and turned the deadbolt. “There. You happy?”
I kissed her again, then surprised both of us by backing off. I didn’t want to speed through this, didn’t want a repeat of the office. Instead, I placed a hand on each side of her head and just stared into her pretty face. Topaz leaned back against the door.
“What now?” she asked.
My eyes traveled over her. I moved further away from her, still watching, still appreciating. “Come here,” I finally requested.
“No.”
The answer caught me off-guard. My eyebrows lifted. She smirked.
“I came to you last time, remember?” she teased.
I smiled at her, stepped closer. Topaz didn’t move.
“Oh, yeah. I remember everything.”
Another step. Still, she stayed right where she was.
“I remember you grabbing my shirt.”
Her breathing changed, picked up a little as I approached.
“I remember you putting them big pretty ass lips on mine.”
She made a soft sound, the sweetest little sigh.
“I remember you clearing some paperwork off my desk.”
Her mouth parted slightly, and the tip of her tongue darted out to swipe across her lips. I stopped directly in front of her.
“I remember you looking me dead in my eyes and telling me it was about me.”
I cupped her face as her eyes fluttered shut, brushed my lips against her cheekbone.
“And I remember how my dick felt, how it looked, pushing inside you. You took me so good, shorty.”
“Saadiq,” she moaned.
“Yeah, Apple?”
Her hands came up and rested against my chest. For a second, neither of us moved. Then she slid her palms beneath the open edges of my shirt.
“Tonight is about you, too. I promise,” she whispered as she caressed my skin.
