A Designed Affair (8 page)

“Loren, are you okay? he asked after he gained the ability to speak again.

“I’m fine. In fact I am wonderful and you were incredible,” she said as she turned around so that they were facing each other.

He looked so handsome and she couldn’t resist stealing another powerful kiss from him. Through the kiss they held on to each other as if neither ever wanted to let go. He felt so right in her arms.

Mike saw no signs of regret on Loren’s face and he looked. He didn’t want an incredible moment to turn bad because the aftermath had settled in. Still, he needed to know.

“Are we okay?” he finally asked.

Loren knew he wanted to be sure she wasn’t going to have any regrets about what they just did.

“Mike, we’re fine. I’m a big girl. I wanted this as much as you did and I have no regrets.”

She saw relief on his handsome face.

“I’m glad. I don’t want tonight marred by any second thoughts, after the fact. Are you hungry?”

“I’m starving,” she replied.

“I’m going to hit the bathroom then I’ll go round us up something to eat from the kitchen.”

“Okay. You definitely worked up my appetite,” she said, laughing.

Mike smiled.

“I aim to please baby.”

He leaned over to give her one last smooch before going to dispose of the condom and feeding another hunger they both had; for food.

~~~

He came back from the kitchen with fresh fruit, cheese and salami. Loren’s stomach growled the minute she saw it. He placed the tray across her lap, turned on some quiet, slow music and joined her on the bed. He watched as she attacked the food like a starving woman.

He laughed at her.

“Hungry a little maybe?”

Loren almost choked trying to eat and laugh.

“Come on now. The one thing you know about me is I love to eat.”

She grabbed a strawberry and reached to feed it to him. He grabbed the strawberry along with her fingers with his teeth. That act hit Loren with thoughts of fruit and sex and all they could do. Her body’s reaction to that gesture showed the affect he had on her.

“Mmm, you taste good mixed in with some strawberries. I’ll have to remember that for the future,” he whispered.

Loren didn’t miss that his comment meant that he intended to have more than the one night that they had decided on earlier.

“There’s going to be a future beyond tonight between us where you’ll need strawberries?” she inquired.

When Mike didn’t immediately respond Loren began to wonder if he didn’t mean to say it at all.

He looked at her wondering why he’d blurted that out. He didn’t want to scare her away, but he also wanted more than just one night with her. He reached over, removed the tray from her lap and decided to table that discussion for another time. He had other ideas on his mind of how to occupy the time they had left and he didn’t want to waste it talking.

He removed the blanket that was covering her and slid her down so that her body laid flush under his.

“Spend the entire night with me,” he asked, hoping she wanted it as much as he did.

Loren reached up, pulled Mike down on top of her, close enough so that their lips were almost touching. She snaked her tongue out to lick his lips seductively.

“Why Mike, what will we do with all of the hours left if I spend the entire night?”

Mike smiled at her humor. He reached over to his night stand, withdrew another condom and replied, “I have the most interesting concepts for the rest of the night that I’d like to share with you. I would tell you all about them, but I’d rather show you.”

Loren was thrilled when he proceeded to do just that.

Loren woke startled to discover she was in a bed that didn’t feel like her own and she wasn’t alone. It only took her a few seconds to remember where she was and who she was with. She shifted slightly and felt a wonderful ache between her legs and everything became crystal clear. She was at Mike’s condo, currently in his bed. They had spent the last couple of hours indulging in the best sex of her life. She thought back over how she had come to be in his bed when she felt a very light kiss on her shoulder. She looked back over her shoulder into his dark and her heart melted.

“Hi,” was all Loren could get out.

Instead of saying hello back, Mike leaned down and placed the softest kiss on her lips. She responded as if it were the most natural thing in the world to be here with him like this. When he’d drank his fill from the kiss, he leaned back on his elbow and said hello back.

“Hi yourself. How are you feeling?”

“I’m feeling wonderful,” she declared.

“I can tell it’s still dark outside so it’s not morning yet. What time is it?” she asked while leaning into a much needed stretch.

“It’s about four in the morning.”

“Oh wow. You missed your evening with your friends. I’m sorry for interrupting your plans.”

Mike loved how caring and sensitive Loren was. Those were traits he had come to enjoy about her over the years.

“You didn’t interrupt anything. I wouldn’t want to be any other place other than here with you. I hope you feel the same way.”

She turned all the way around so that they were now face to face, snuggling. She felt comfortable being in bed with Mike.

“I am exactly where I want to be right now.”

“Only right now Loren?”

“Right now is what we have Mike. You know as well as I do that this can only be right now.”

He didn’t respond, but decided to take advantage of the fact that he had a gorgeous, sexy and most definitely gloriously naked woman in his bed. He leaned over to get another deep, searing kiss. Before too long the kiss turned scorching hot and he moved to completely cover her body with his as he took the kiss deeper and deeper. As Loren responded to the onslaught of his kiss, Mike felt his body harden. He couldn’t seem to get enough of her.

Loren felt the change in Mike the moment he took her mouth in a kiss that had her responding to him as if it were the last kiss they would share. She got the feeling he initiated the kiss to avoid having the discussion they both knew needed to happen. She would eventually be getting up and leaving and what they had shared over the past few hours would be all that they could share. Too much was at stake to continue. For now she would let him forget about the inevitable and enjoy the moment.

Loren leaned up into the kiss as Mike pressed down harder on her with his entire body. His body hardened with anticipation above her of what was to come once again. She reached out and grabbed the long, hard and extremely aroused length of his penis. She held on and stroked his length first up then down.

“Loren, baby your hand feels so good. Don’t stop,” he crooned into her mouth, between kisses.

“Now, why would I stop? This feels just as good to me as it does to you” she sighed into his mouth.

“Yes, yes, yes,” was all Mike could say. He just wanted to feel. He could stay like this forever with her. As she continued to stroke him, she pushed forward, tilting until he was flat on his back, allowing her to crawl over him, again not breaking the kiss or the intimate grip she had on his penis. She felt like a she-devil with all the power. She wanted to pleasure him as much as he had been pleasuring her. She felt so free and comfortable with Mike that she knew that whatever they shared intimately, he would be open for. She had not always felt this free when it came to intimacy, but he made her feel like this. She moved so that her legs straddled his body and continued to stroke him and focus on his face that expressed pure delight at what she was doing. She watched as he closed his eyes and she knew that he was completely focused on the sensations she was drawing from him. She watched as he reached out blindly for her.

“No, no,” Loren said, teasingly. “It’s my turn to make you half-crazy with lust.”

“You mean your turn to tease me don’t you,” he said still not opening his eyes.

“Just lay back and enjoy big boy,” she said to him and to his penis.

She leaned down and placed kisses across his chest, taking first one nipple then the other between her teeth. When she tugged, she felt his body leap up off of the bed.

“You are torturing me,” he said through clenched teeth.

“You haven’t experienced torture yet,” she said, with a hint of something sinister in her voice.

Loren felt empowered, she felt sexy and she felt adventurous. She was about to do something she had never done before. She wanted to pleasure him with her mouth just as he had done for her. The desire to taste him had become too overwhelming to ignore. She slid further down his body until her face was even with that part of him that she wanted and needed.

“I can feel your wetness on my leg Loren. Come up here and let me take care of that for you,” he said very breathy, proving how stimulated he was.

He reached blindly for her again.

“Not this time baby. I want to see how wet I can make you for me,” she said slyly.

Loren kept her eyes planted directly on his because she wanted to see his reaction the moment she took him in her mouth.

Before she did, she wanted to drive him crazy. She first licked her tongue out to caress the head of his penis. She licked all around it as he continued to moan and grind through the pleasure. She had never done this before, but had seen it done by watching some pretty raunchy movies over the years. How else was a girl to learn, she thought.

When Mike began to grind up into her mouth, she continued with her very slow ministrations. After licking around the head, she stroked up and down his entire length with her tongue, tasting the salty, yet sweetness of him.

Mike thought that any minute he was going to have a stroke. Never had he felt such pleasure before and she was drawing his out very slowly. He was a big fan of oral sex, but he never thought he would feel like he was floating. Being with Loren was everything he thought it would be and right now she was giving him pleasure beyond anything he had ever experienced before and he knew he’d experienced plenty. This was different because it was Loren and he needed more.

“More baby, I need more,” he moaned.

Loren didn’t reply, she just gave him more. After her final lick up, she opened her mouth wider to receive him. She knew there was no way she would be able to take him all in, but she was willing to take as much as she could, giving him as much as she could. As she began pleasuring him her own level of arousal was escalating. She had no idea pleasuring a man this way could bring her just as much satisfaction. Loren looked up at Mike just as he opened his eyes, glazed over with pure lust. Her pulse quickened as she watched him try to contain the orgasm she knew was right in his reach. She didn’t want him to fight it. She increased her motions and just when she thought he was on the brink, he reached down and pulled her body up with his. He took her mouth in a kiss that had her teetering on the edge. She was a little disappointed that he didn’t let her finish.

“Why did you stop me?” she asked.

“I needed to. As good as you were making me feel, and believe me it was feeling really good, I want to be inside you. I want and need to feel you.”

He kissed her tenderly hoping she’d understand that he didn’t stop her because he didn’t like it. He stopped her because he loved it, but he also loved the way her body gripped his like a glove and he needed to feel that right now.

While he explored her mouth, Loren reached over and grabbed another condom from the night stand. She broke the kiss long enough to roll the condom on him and rose to slide down on his girth. This was also new for her. She was not the most experienced lover, but she loved trying new things and throughout the night, she and Mike had done just that. He allowed her to do whatever she wanted and anything she wanted him to do to her, he quickly obliged. They gasped in unison as she slid down onto him. The feeling was extreme and her body was already sensitized that it didn’t take long for her to climax. She used her inner muscles to grip Mike tight as she rode him that it didn’t take him long either.

Mike knew it was over the moment he felt the vice like grip Loren’s body had on his. He held on to her hips, guiding her as she rode him while he entered her over and over. They rode out their explosive orgasms together.

The roar that escaped his lips hit him like a tsunami. It washed over him quicker than he expected and it seemed to go on forever.

Loren never stopped riding out her pleasure. He wanted to give her much more. While in the current throws of passion, he reached down to stroke her intimately, even though he knew she had just climaxed. He wanted her to do it again, just for him.

“Again, for me baby,” he whispered. “Again.”

Loren never opened her eyes. She continued astride him.

“I don’t think I can,” she uttered, still not stopping.

“Yes you can. Do it for me baby. Come on, I feel the need in your body,” he encouraged.

He stroked her until he could feel her building up again. He could feel her reaching for that precipice once more exactly like he wanted her to. If this was all they were going to have, he wanted everything from her. He set out to give her a night she would never forget and he planned to do just that. He never wanted her to forget what it was like to make love with him.

When she was finally done, she collapsed on his body like dead weight. She couldn’t move and Mike didn’t make a move to move her from on top of him. They stayed in that position until they were both able to finally speak.

“I have never ever done that before. Tonight with you has been filled with a night of firsts for me, the greatest is being able to be with you.”

“You are incredible,” he replied.

He wanted to say more, but his mind was racing with how to convince her that this can’t be it for them. Once Loren slid from his body to the bed, he pulled her closer to him so that she was snug up against him. He pulled the blanket over them and no further words were said as they both slipped into a deep slumber.

Neither Mike nor Loren were asleep as daylight broke out across the sky. They lay together spooning with Mike close behind her. Loren could lay like this forever, but she knew it wasn’t possible. Sadness settled over her at the thought that she needed to get up and leave after waiting so many years to be in his arms.

She turned so that she could face him.

“Mike. I’m going to get ready to go. Thank you for an incredible night. I enjoyed being with you. This was better than any dream I ever had about you.”

“I enjoyed being with you also.”

Neither moved to get up. They continued gazing at and caressing each other. Mike knew they were thinking the same thing, that being together felt right. It was as if they were meant to be together and not just for one night. He figured Loren was waiting for him to say something else, but the words would not come. He knew that she should leave, but he just couldn’t let her. Not yet. Not until he said his peace.

Loren moved to extricate herself from the way her body was entwined with his. When she stood, she felt the loss of the close connection to Mike. Could she really just walk away like they didn’t spend the most incredible night in each other arms? She grabbed her clothes that were still lying all over the floor and made her way to the connecting bathroom to get dressed. She rushed, not wanting Mike to see the despair on her face at having to leave as if nothing had happened.

After Loren entered the bathroom, Mike sat up on the side of the bed, distraught himself about the current circumstance. He had finally made love to Loren for what was to be the first and last time and it wasn’t sitting well with him. He got up to grab a pair of jeans to put on while he thought. He could not just let Loren leave as if nothing happened between them. How could he, from this point forward, look at her and not want to be with her? While she got dressed, he went to the kitchen for coffee to clear his head. There was no way this would be the one and only time he could be with her this way. The evening before, he thought that once they were able to get each other out of their systems by spending the night together, that it would be enough. That was exactly the Mike she expected him to be because that was the Mike she knew him to be. He agreed that it was the Mike that he normally was, but this was different. He didn’t just want to bed Loren as he’d done with other women, he wanted to spend more time getting to know her on a deeper level and figuring out why, even after the numerous number of times he had made love to her through the night, he still wanted her just as much as he did before he ever touched her.

Loren was thinking too hard while taking a shower. She had no idea being with Mike would have this much of an impact on her.

After her shower and once she was dressed, she entered the kitchen to find Mike at the counter, pouring coffee for him and her.

“Sugar and cream in your coffee?” he asked.

“Just a little cream, thanks.”

He passed her the cup and marveled at how incredibly sexy she looked early in the morning. No one said a word as they both drank their coffee. They knew the inevitable had to happen. It was a matter of who spoke it first. They weren’t even looking at each other.

“Look at me Loren,” he said softly, tapping into the solemn mood that had settled over the room.

She look up at him slowly.

“I’m going to say what I think we both are thinking here because I can’t let you leave without having this discussion. The elephant in the room warrants it.”

Loren nodded in agreement because she was feeling the same way. She knew exactly what he was talking about.

“I felt more than just a sexual connection with you last night. I don’t know about you, but I’m not sure I can just walk away from you and continue on as if nothing has happened, all for the sake of family and friends. I can’t begin to tell you how long I have wanted you. I don’t know how to move forward without those closest to us finding out. I, for one, am willing to deal with the consequences, but I don’t want to cause any drama in your family and certainly not with your brother. I know that my desire for you did not lessen now that we have slept together. I didn’t get you out of my system. If nothing, you are wedged even further in it. It’s taken my want for you, my desire for you, a lot higher and much deeper. Can you honestly just walk away from me now?”
