The Fight Within (61 page)

…That time on the train when Kyle said a black woman that sat next to them smelled good, like fried chicken…

…Another time when Kyle was angry that a black guy cut him off in Manhattan bumper to bumper traffic. He said the guy was probably running late for an important drug deal…

…Another time when they were at the DMV, and he said if weren’t for Affirmative Action, the lazy lady in the window wouldn’t even have that job as she gave him a hard time about his car insurance…

…Another time when he said this, and another time when he said that…

It was never anything way over the top. No ‘N’ words were ever dropped, nothing of that nature, and Kyle had a shit load of friends from all different backgrounds. But…it didn’t seem to matter, because it was apparent the man still felt superior.

And he feels superior to me, too…

Sean fell back onto the couch, feeling nauseous, sick to his damn stomach. All of these years, he savored the friendship with Kyle, partially because it gave him validation, a ticket into an exclusive world he’d been previously shut out of. He’d not had any inkling or suspicion that Kyle was using him as well, to boost himself up to a level of denial, and feed his need to feel better than others.

As soon as I get myself together, everything else falls apart. I’ve lost my best fucking friend. And I hate him for this…

And it fucking sucked. Because it fucking hurt so unbelievably fucking bad…

‡

…The next day

“Y
ou’re missing the
movie.”

The woman said nothing. She stood before him, her blue jeans unzipped, exposing white panties with black trim. Sean set his can of ginger ale down and tried to look around her gorgeous silhouette in the dimly lit room.

“You’re in front of the television,” he teased, pretending to be annoyed by her antics.

Treasure leisurely picked up the remote control from the arm of his couch, looked casually over her shoulder, and shut the damn thing off. The room grew darker, though he could still make her out clear as day. He lifted himself off the couch and looped his thumbs in his pants’ belt buckles, then ushered them down his legs. Kicking them off to the side, he kept his damn eye on her, falling into the place she led him to with her hypnotic stare. He ran his hand over his dick, back and forth, slowly but surely as the woman swayed back and forth, conducting a strip tease for his eyes only.

“You move like heaven.”

Her lips parted in a sexy smile. She tossed her bra at him and it landed across his knee, while she continued to gyrate to a silent beat. “Stay right there…let me give you something to vibe to.” Getting up, he turned on his stereo and selected, SZA’s, ‘Babylon”.

“I’m gonna put this shit on repeat…” he mumbled.

He loved the entire album for it reminded him so much of Treasure. He loved the cool sensuality of the music and head vocalist, moving together like water across diamonds. Rich, natural, luxuriously earth-bound…

Returning to the couch, he sat back and relaxed, a smug smile on his face. He succumbed to a lustful trance when the woman rubbed her tits and gyrated those luscious hips he loved to spoon every chance he got. Making her way in his direction, she fell to her knees before him, sinking deep in the carpet. Their gazes locked…

“You know I love you…” The words she spoke he never tired of hearing. “And I won’t stop loving you…and I hope you won’t stop loving me, either.”

He stared at her for a moment. Deciding to do one better, he reached for her face, caressed her flesh that felt softer than satin.

“I went to the Hudson river last night, stood on the bridge. I looked down into the water late at night. I was thinkin’ all sorts of things. My mind was busy.” She watched his mouth moving, no doubt trying to understand where he was going with this. She scooted closer to him, her chin directly above his crotch, and wrapped soft hands around his throbbing dick, making the damn thing so excited, it wept a trail of anticipatory delight.

“And I was so fucking mad, baby, that I shed a couple of tears. Someone I cared about died. He’s alive, but he’s dead to me.” He pointed at his chest. “One of my tears fell in the river as I leaned over looking at the waves moving back and forth. So in response to what you just said, when you find that tear that I cried in that river, baby,
that’s
when I’ll stop lovin’ you…Uhhhhh…” He threw his head back and enjoyed the intense warmth heating his shaft. She showed her approval of his declarations with her tongue that slowly went up and down his cock, round and round. Occasionally they met eyes as she enveloped him, over and over, taking him there…

“Mmmmm….baby….” he groaned, letting his hands roam sluggishly through her strands. “Uhhhh…” He winced in sheer, unadulterated pleasure as she lavished him with oral attention fit for a king. “Uhhh, Treasure…uh!” Not wanting to cum too soon, he coaxed her away, gently pushing on her shoulder. The woman squealed when he plucked her from the ground and placed her on her back, laying her against his couch cushions. Then, he caressed along her inner thighs…soft and welcoming.

“Mmmm.” A guttural moan escaped his lips as he ran his fingers slowly up and down her soft, fleshy pussy lips. Worming his way between her legs, he placed his head directly there. Her warmth muffled the music, all the sounds around him. “Mmmm…”

Flick.

He tenderly traced her folds, her clit extended farther, excited to cum out and play…

Flick…

“You taste amazing.”

Flick…

“When we’re together, I’m
whole
…”

Suck…

“When we’re apart, I’m only
half
as good as I can be…”

“Ahhhh!”

He gripped her waist, buried himself nose deep into her sweet zone.

“Mmmm! Ohhhhh baby….” He went on and on, tasting her honey shower on his tongue.

He broke away from her for a spell to stare into her eyes… She haunted his soul, and he hoped the ghost was real…

“Mmmmm!” his lips coated in her libations as she rose and fell, her orgasms ripping through her core. He made love to her deep, slow, and all consuming. “As long as you want and need me, I’ll always have a job in your heart.”

“Ahhhh! Sean! Oh my God…” He paused once more, a trail of her nectar traveling from his lips as he cradled her ass close. She panted, coming slowly down from her high. Picking her up in his arms, he wrapped her legs around his waist and held her so close and careful, like a rare crystal vase. So tender…so loving…

She’s so mine…

His lips met hers, pushing, warming, feeling something that hovered beyond their own minds and souls. Grinding against her nature, he stood in the middle of the room, pushing her up and down along the head of his dick.

“…Mmmm, don’t tease me!” her tone and eyes pleaded. “Don’t tease me, baby…” Her voice trembled. He walked a few steps and placed her on her feet and leaned her over the couch, placed her on her back. Sliding his hand between her thighs, he worked her up, driving her crazy. She threw her head back and arched her back, inviting him deep inside. As if on cue, a new album began to play—Empire of the Sun’s, ‘Walking on a dream.’

Sean gripped her breast and eased his way inside.

“Ahhhhh…uh…” Reaching down, she gripped his knee as he took his sweet time sliding inside of her, moving back and forth.

Oh yes, tonight she had to be cherished. He needed to feel everything, see everything, memorize it, then start all over again.

“Each time we make love, you take a bit more of me… It never felt so good being robbed!” He gripped her tighter, his thrusts growing faster and faster with each pass. “Uhhh!”

“Oh! Oh!” He felt her essence streaming, and kept on. The woman came over and over, back to back, her body loving him a bit more than just a second prior, and the second before that. “I’m cumming again! Oh my God!”

She sounded shocked at the revelation, and Sean, being the sexual opportunist that he toted himself to be, took his chance to run his hand along her clit, causing her body to stiffen. So, he continued to thrust upward within her and strum her zone with expert precision.

“Ahhhh! Oh God!” She hooked her hand around his neck, her mouth hanging open in wonder.

“Mmmm! Mmmm!” He continued to thrust, now harder with his balls slamming into her ass.

And they stared at one another, awed and in love.

Helpless.

“Ahhhh!” She coated his cock with another layer of her essence, making their bodies sticky and sweet. He swooped her up, turned her over onto her stomach and continued to deliver his promise.

“Uhh! Uh! I’m gonna cum, Treasure! I’m gonna cum!”

“Yes! Cum in me!” He didn’t want to blink or look away, just keep staring into the eyes of the woman that stole his heart.

“Uhhhhhhhhh!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!! Shiiiit!” His teeth gritted as he delivered blow after powerful blow. He remained still for a moment or two as he flowed within her, filling her to the max. “Ahhhhh….” After a moment or two, he loosened his grip on her waist, relaxed against her, and delivered sweet kisses to her upper back. Soon after, he found himself back on his couch, with her straddling him, moving up and down the softness of his nature, working her feminine hips like a temptress, stoking the fire within him, until he was fully erect once more. Then, lifting herself up, she took him all inside her cocoon, inch by delicious inch.

He groaned, then offered her a crooked smile. “You are insatiable tonight… I love it.”

She winked in response.

But then, all power of speech was stripped from him when she started to move in a slow rhythm at first, escalating her pace until she was riding him hard and steady, pressing her palms into his chest. She took him all inside, each time she rose and fell, left none of him out in the cold world outside her body.

“Your dick is like a dangerous ride…and I never want it to end.”

“Must be a water ride as wet as you are…” He winked back.

“Ahhhh…” She kept on, bouncing up and down, falling into a place where only she’d been invited. Closing her eyes, she let the rhythm take over and rode him like her life depended upon it. Her hips rotated and grinded against his dick until they were stomach to stomach.

“Uhhh…” Gently, he took hold of her hips and matched her tempo. “Making love to my new best friend!” he blurted as he held her a bit tighter… “Love you so much, Treasure!” He was exposed and didn’t care. She’d taken over his entire world, and he still couldn’t get enough of her. All she’d ever done was love him, and love him with all of herself.

“Ahhhh…you’re saying all of these beautiful things!” She smiled sincerely, her eyes glossing over. “All of these lovely things that you know are going to make me melt.” She laughed lightly.

“But they’re the truth. And from my heart.” They worked together, pushing their bodies to the sexual brink. “Uhhh!”

At last, the woman tensed and fell upon him, pressed her lips harshly into his. Her ass slammed into his groin over and over until she shuddered, gasped and soon, was rendered silent. He followed right behind her.
