ROMANCE: Lust by Appointment (3 page)

“To be honest I don’t think you know either of them well enough to make an educated decision. I’ll break it down for you in simpler terms. David equals relationship that you are used to, he won’t push you to share your emotions, so you will stay in the same emotional rut you are already in. On the other hand you and David may be able to help each other out of the emotional rut simply because the two of you are both damaged. Noah equals a healthy relationship, one that you should be in. But if Noah tries to push you to share too much too fast he could end up setting you back instead of moving you forward.” Hannah nodded once she was through explaining.

Neela sat quietly for a moment. Her friend was right. But once again, either of these guys could be good or bad for her.

“So I should get to know each of them a little bit better and take things slow. That way I will be able to decide whether they are pushing me in the wrong direction or not.” Neela looked back up at Hannah.

“Yeah I think that would be your best bet. Just don’t jump into anything too quickly and if Noah starts pushing too hard then you need to tell him that you have issues and you aren’t ready to share them with a complete stranger.” Hannah smiled. “You’ll be fine.” She encouraged Neela and sprayed her hair with hairspray.

Neela waited patiently outside her apartment building for Noah to show up. She was feeling a little nervous about the date and thought some fresh air would help clear her head.

She was only outside for ten minutes or so when Noah pulled up in a black sports car. He climbed out of his car with huge smile on his face. He opened up the passenger side door.

“Are you ready?” Noah asked as he held his hand out to her. She smiled and took his hand as she lowered herself into the car.

“So where are we going?” Neela asked once Noah was back in the car.

“Are you hungry?” He smiled at her and took her hand. Neela fought the urge to pull her hand away and nodded.

After about half hour of driving through the city and talking about their favorite kinds of music, they arrived at a small private seafood restaurant.

“You’re ok with seafood right?” Noah turned to her suddenly, like he just realized that not everyone likes seafood. Neela laughed

“Most of it yes.” She weaved her arm through his and followed him into the restaurant. Once inside the hostess approached and offered to show us our table. Instead of just following the hostess Noah demanded to be sat next to a window.

Neela was surprised at the tone he had used with the hostess. He was very confident and demanding. Not as soft as she had initially thought. She shrugged off her sweater before taking her seat across from Noah.

“I would like to order for you. If it’s alright?” He asked as he opened the menu, but he didn’t look at Neela as he said it.

“I guess that’s alright. Do you know you’re way around seafood fairly well then?” She picked up the cocktail menu instead.

“You could say that.” He chuckled.

The rest of the dinner went like Neela had thought it would. He tried asking her about her family and where she grew up and she did her best to avoid sharing too much about it. She didn’t want to just snap on him and tell him that it was none of his business so she just smile politely and answered what she was comfortable with.

After dinner Noah wanted to go for a walk along the shore near the restaurant. This whole thing was getting far too intimate and deep for her liking. She needed to do something fast otherwise she was going to say something she didn’t mean.

She quickened her step just enough that she could spin herself around in front of him and throw her arms around his neck. The art of seduction was the best way she knew to deal out a distraction.

“How do you feel about having sand in places sand doesn’t belong?” She said in a low husky voice as she pressed her lips against his smiling lips. Noah wrapped his arms tightly around Neela’s waist as he kissed down her jaw line.

She gripped his shoulders tightly as his hungry lips made their way down between her breasts. He tried to unbutton her shirt but his lustful excitement was causing his hands to shake. He growled with frustration and tore her blouse open. He hungrily devoured each of her breasts.

Neela yanked at the bottom of Noah’s shirt to pull it over his head. She tossed it aside and passionately pushed her lips against his, exploring his mouth with her tongue. She moaned and hurriedly kissed down his muscular chest and down his washboard abs. She yanked the button loose on his jeans and bit her bottom lip as she dragged his jeans and briefs down releasing his huge throbbing cock.

She took him greedily into her mouth. She swirled and weaved her tongue around his engorged head while she soaked his shaft in her saliva, spreading it down the full length of it with the pumping motion of her hand.

Noah groaned and gripped her thick black hair with both hands as he thrust himself deeper into her throat following her rapid rhythm. When he could hardly take anymore he yanked her upwards and kissed her. Noah tugged aggressively at Neela’s jeans and discarded them and her panties somewhere on the beach.

He pulled her into his arms and forcefully pushed himself into her juicy sweet spot. He slowly knelt to the ground and continued his rough rhythm in and out of her body. Neela grinded against him. Needing more, needing him to be deeper inside of her. Needing him to thrust himself harder into her. She wrapped her legs tightly around his hard lean body trying to force him deeper.

Noah gently laid her on to the cool sand and grabbed each of her ankles, spreading them into a wide V. He thrust harder and harder watching as Neela’s body responded to him forcing himself deeper and deeper inside of her.

Neela screamed loudly as she plunged off the edge into her orgasm. This lit Noah on fire from the inside out, he could feel that he was about to explode but he didn’t want to stop, he needed more. He slowed his pace and grinded deeper into Neela, heightening her orgasm. He pulled out of her just in time and blew is hot load all over her stomach.

His white creamy cum almost glowed on her flawless black skin. Her chest heaved as she came down from her orgasm. The two of them headed into the cold water to quickly wash off before replacing their clothes and heading up to Noah’s truck.

Once she was back in the quiet of her apartment she sprawled out on her bed. She told Hannah she was going to take it slow and take the time to get to know the guys better. But now she feared that she might have made everything worse.

A Decision

Neela was so glad that it was the weekend and she wouldn’t have to face either David or Noah at all for a few days. She needed some time to think. She wandered down the shopping strip. She never had the money to buy anything but it somehow made her feel better to just imagine being able to afford all the things she ogled in the windows of her favorite stores.

After a long morning of window shopping, Neela settled into her favorite corner café and ordered her usual mocha latte and clubhouse sandwich. She sat and zoned out on the writing on the front window while taking the occasional sip of her latte.

I really should have listened to Hannah. I have really made a huge mess of things and now I need to figure out what the hell I’m going to do. Am I even ready for a relationship at all? Even if I do decide that I am ready for a relationship, I just met these two men a week ago. How can I be sure that either of them even want a relationship with me?

The waitress came buy and dropped off Neela’s clubhouse sandwich. Neela nodded her thank you and took a bite of the sandwich continuing to let her thoughts wander once again.

Well at least I have been out on a few dates with Noah. At least he is showing an interest in wanting some hint of a relationship. He was definitely the more logical choice over David. He is showing interest, he wants to get to know me. So why exactly am I so tied up on David? David has shown no interest in me at all aside from the sex in his office.

Neela decided that she was going to just stick with Noah. He was obviously the healthy choice that Hannah was talking about and she was at least half sure that Noah wanted to start a relationship with her of some sort.

Neela dug into her clubhouse and was quite confident in her decision. She looked toward the front door of the café and nearly choked on her sandwich. It was David.
What the hell is he doing here?
She shook her head.
It doesn’t matter I made my decision. I want to be with Noah.

Just as the thought crossed her mind David looked over at her and smiled. She smiled back casually and waved.
I’m just going to friendly, casual.
David walked over to where she was sitting and stood behind the chair opposite of where she was sitting.

“Fancy meeting you here.” Neela smiled and leaned back in her chair.

“Yeah I was in the neighbourhood. Mind if I join you?” He asked politely.

“Yeah I’m nearly finished but I can keep you company for a minute or two.” Neela couldn’t help but feel a little bit overwhelmed and nervous around this man.

“So how was your date with Noah?” He sat back and smiled mischievously.

It took everything in her power to keep the panic from showing on her face. She gave a small smile and sipped at her latte.
How the hell did he know about that?

”It was great.” She said smugly.

“That’s good I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. When do I get my turn?” He leaned an elbow on the table.

“What do you mean ‘your turn’?” Neela was starting to get a little bit worried. She knew that she was a strong willed woman but this man had an effect on her and she wasn’t sure how long she would be able to hold herself together.

“I mean when do I get my turn to try and beat out Noah for you?” He had such a serious look on his face. She couldn’t tell if he was joking around.

“I didn’t know there was a competition going on. I’ve kind of already made my decision.” Neela was going to stay strong no matter what.

“Well that’s not very fair. Don’t I deserve a chance?”

“How do I know that this isn’t just some sort of jealousy thing you have going on? How do I know that it is actually because you want me?” Neela knew that it was a dangerous question no matter what his answer was.

“Go on a date with me and find out. No sex. We did that already. Just a date. Tonight.” He leaned back again and smiled a crooked smile.

“No. I’m with Noah and that’s how it is going to stay.” Neela started gathering her things and digging out money for her bill. David reached out and grabbed her arm.

“I will get what I want. I always get what I want.” He smiled again and released her arm so she could leave. But Neela stood there staring at him.

“What exactly is it that you want?” She was starting to get angry.

“You. It’s that simple. I want you and I may not be the best guy for you but I can damn well try.” The smile had disappeared from his face.

Without saying anything Neela walked out of the little corner café, waving at the waitress on her way out the door. She walked down the street almost in tears. She picked up her phone and dialed Hannah. There was no answer so she left a message telling her to meet her at her apartment. It was an emergency.

She reached in her purse for a Kleenex and felt someone grab her arm and spin her in the opposite direction. It was David, he had caught up with her.

But this time he didn’t say anything. He had a worried look on his face as he looked into her tear filled eyes. He slowly lowered his hand and nodded as if agreeing with someone. Maybe himself.

Neela stood there in front of him. No one had ever seen her cry, in fact she couldn’t remember the last time she had cried at all. Yet here she was in the middle of the crowded street crying over a decision she thought was so simple.
Why on earth am I crying over this man?

David swallowed and wiped her tears from her face and handed her a tissue out of his jacket and without saying a word he turned and walked away.

Neela wiped away the remaining tears and blew her nose. She thought that she had made the obvious decision. The right decision. But right now as she watched David walk away she couldn’t help but think that she may have been totally wrong.

This is Your Chance

Hannah was at Neela’s apartment when she got back and they sat down and had a long talk. After Hannah left Neela jumped in the shower.

She was exhausted. Physically and emotionally. She let the water pour over her body, imagining that it was washing away all the stress of her day. Hannah was right. She wasn’t ready for a relationship of any kind with Noah or David. She needed to try and heal herself, she couldn’t use a guy to help her get over her issues.

Neela turned off the shower and dried off. She wasn’t going to be with either of them. Even if she did like them both, it just wasn’t the right time. On her way to her room to slip on her pajamas, she heard a knock at the door. She quickly ran to her room and ditched her towel and wrapped her house coat around her naked body before answering the door.

“What are you doing here?” Neela blurted out in a panic when she saw both Noah and David standing outside her door.

“We came to see you.” Noah smiled as he kissed her cheek as he walked passed her into the apartment. David cautiously followed Noah inside. He looked broken down and shy. Not at all like himself.

“Look I am not ready for any kind of relationship, Ok? I did a lot of thinking and I originally wanted a relationship with one of you but I realized that I have too much shit in my life that I need to figure out and I am not ready for a relationship.” Neela rushed through her practiced speech quickly before either of them could interrupt her.

Noah smiled and pinned her lightly against the wall. He tucked a wet strand of hair behind her ear and lowered her hand to the draw string that tied her house coat tightly around her waist.
