Keepin It Tight - A Sample - Page 9/52

The latter words resonated louder than she anticipated.

While her mind weighed the fact that Tyrese had not paid one bill this month, her body begged her to enjoy the sensational ride he was guaranteed to take her on -- if she could get past the pesky internal reminder that bills needed to be paid. Her mind, heart and body were in a constant struggle where Tyrese was concerned.

Just then, Tyrese waltzed proudly into the bathroom and placed one hand under Lela's chin, raising her face so that their eyes met. He kissed her passionately on her lush lips, allowing his colossal hand to seductively unbutton her shirt. "It's for you, babe. Just because."

I guess he overheard my mumbling. Well, there's no turning back now, Lela thought. It would have to be now or never to let him know that she'd rather have bill money than treats. "Because what, Ty? I need for you to…to help out…" Lela protested, though losing her effectiveness, "…more with the bills."

Instead of offering an answer, Tyrese kissed the softness between her breasts, taking a moment to suck on her jasmine-scented skin. Unsnapping her bra, he gently kissed her breasts giving them equal care and attention.

Once he worked Lela into a passionate frenzy, he leaned against the wall and licked his lips.

Tyrese standing there, licking his lips in all of his chocolate glory, brought Lela's protesting to a screeching halt. She had spent many days and hours massaging and adoring every tight muscle on his handsome body, and tonight would be no different.

"Oh, you are good, Ty. You are too good," she whispered as her hands wandered down to his zipper.

"Mmmm," he moaned in his best rendition of Barry White.

Then, he took her pleasuring hand into his. "Not so fast. Tonight, we're taking things nice and slow."

He sat down on the toilet and began to explain the reason behind his romancing. "I've been hustling CD's and DVD's all day at Lamar's shop because I wanted to do something nice for you because you have been working so hard and holding me down. I just want you to know that you are appreciated.

"So soak your body, relax, and allow me to pamper you.

Consider this night a token of my love for you. You can expect much more of this in the years to come, baby. Today is a new day." He gently guided her into the bubbles, and claimed her lips once again before slipping out of the bathroom.
