Delusional Love (2nd Edition) (8 page)

“Let’s
just say that I have on innate ability to attract losers of the lowest kind.”

“Care
to elaborate? You don’t have to if it’s too personal or painful.”

“I’m
sure you don’t want to hear about my pathetic personal life.”

“Actually
I do because I know that you are far from pathetic. So, I would like to know
what makes you think your personal life is such.”

“Where
do I start? Well, let’s just say I’ve always been an assertive person, but for
some reason I developed a submissive personality when dealing with men in the
past. So while I was in college I decided to be more direct in my approach, but
some of my male companions said I was too abrasive. I guess that came from
years of being stepped on.
  
When I am pushed to my limit, I severed those relationships. I was
definitely not a “let’s just be friends” type of person. Anyway after college I
tried to find that happy median, with the help of my best friends I think I was
able to. I thought I found it in my first real adult relationship with a guy
named Mark. He was one of those men that every girl on campus wanted to go out
with. He was a real ladies’ man. Although I knew about him in college, we did
not get together until we had both graduated and I had gone back for our
homecoming. We started talking and eventually became a
couple,
I was determined to make that relationship work.

I
really thought I found my soul
mate,
I had this notion
when I was young that I would save myself for my husband. I pictured myself
falling in love and my husband would be the only man who would have my heart,
body, and soul. But life has a way of smacking you in the face and out of those
fairytale views of life.
 
Because I
was a virgin when Mark and I started dating I told him I needed time before
taking the next step with him. I guess this is TMI {Too much information}.” She
looked over at Ivan and he was staring at her intently, truly taking in
everything she was saying.

“No.
Please continue.”

“Okay,
well my friends thought I was crazy for saving myself. My friend Tara always
believed that you should take a test drive the car before it.” She smiled when
she thought of how many test drives Tara had taken since she’d known her.
“Anyway, I decided that it was probably silly to stick to a rule that I had as
a young girl. I decided to take that next step with Mark.
 
I planned the entire evening. I planned
to come home a day early from a Conference I had to attend for work. I knew
Mark would be at his home because I spoke with him the day before and he said
he would be hanging at the house all evening. So I ordered food to be delivered
from one of our favorite restaurants. I bought this ridiculously expensive lace
bra and panty set with garter, thigh-high stockings, and stiletto heels.”
 
She looked at Ivan and he had a lustful
look in his eyes and she thought to herself maybe I shouldn’t be sharing this
story with my boss, so she decided to end the story. “Well I guess you can tell
it
didn’t ….”
Sensing her uneasiness Ivan encouraged
her to continue.

“Please
Stephanie I would like to hear the end of the story.”

She
looked him in the eyes and could see that he was genuine. “Okay.” She stood and
looked out at the city skyline and continued the story without looking at Ivan.

“I
went straight home from the airport; I changed into the undergarments I
purchased, put on a thin coat and headed over to Mark’s place. Early on in our
relationship we exchanged keys to each other homes, so I let myself in. I heard
soft jazz music playing which was a clear indication that he was home and was
probably working in his office on the second floor. I was so nervous; I had
butterflies in my stomach. I was actually going to give myself to him and while
this was not a big deal for some women, it was for me. I steadied my nerves and
walked up the stairs thinking how surprised Mark is going to be that I actually
decided to make the first move. As I mounted the stairs I thought I heard
something, I dismissed it as probably being the television. I heard noise from
his bedroom.” She paused a few seconds and Ivan could see that the hurt was
still fresh. Stephanie turned from the window and sat back on the sofa putting
her feet under her, this time not paying attention to her skirt, which was
raised up to her upper thigh. Ivan immediately noticed, but turned away trying
to concentrate on Stephanie’s story. Stephanie saw something in the way Ivan
looked at her. She felt like she could trust him with this private, intimate
moment in her life so she continued.

“I
was about to open the door when I heard a familiar female voice. It still was
not registering in my brain what I was actually hearing. I turned the doorknob
and there they were, my boyfriend pounding my ex-friend from work. I stood
there in total shock with my coat opened revealing most of me as if I was
invited to join them in on a threesome. I immediately felt sick to my stomach
and all I could do was yell, “Mark, what are you doing?” They both turned to
see me drop to my knees; he looked over at me and asked me what I was doing
there. Really what I am doing here? Not 'I’m sorry you caught me fucking your
friend from work' or 'I’m sorry for being unfaithful', but what are you doing
here. I wanted to scream at both of them, I wanted to fight but all I could do
is run to the bathroom and empty the contents of my stomach.
 
Mark ran into the bathroom behind me
asking me if I’m okay and I thought what a stupid ass question, of course I’m
not okay. I rose to my feet with my coat open and he looked at the outfit and I
guess it dawned on him why I was there. He immediately began to apologize
telling me that this was the only time and it would never happen again; the
only thing I could do was smack him across his face before running down the
steps and out of the house. He ran after me, naked, trying to get me to calm me
down. I was so angry that if I had stopped, I would have turned around and went
back to beat both their asses. As I ran through the door with my coat open, the
delivery guy with the food from the restaurant was there. It wasn’t until I saw
his eyes glued to me that I realized he could see almost every intimate part of
me. I looked at the delivery guy, totally unashamed of my appearance. With my
hands on my hips, I told the delivery guy to give the food and the bill to the
lying cheating son of a bitch standing behind me.”

She
stood again and walked over to the window to see the Philly night skyline. She
was trying to hold back her tears. “That was the last time I opened my heart to
someone fully. It’s just not worth the hurt and pain.” Ivan’s heart broke for
her and he hated seeing her in pain. He also felt the anger building for the
man who would hurt her that way.

“I
later found out that Mark had several women he was sleeping with, but what I
didn’t understand was why he gave me a key to his place. Who does that? I mean
if you are screwing anything in a skirt why give me a key and risk me finding
out?”

Ivan
sat silent while she talked he realized that she was not really asking
questions for answers but merely venting.

“So
that’s the whole sordid story. I am currently not with anyone because I have
not have found anyone I trust with both my heart and body. A little pathetic,
huh?” She said as she turned toward him. He walked over to her standing so
close she could feel his body heat. Ivan used his bent index finger to lift her
head.

“Not
at all. I am sorry that happened to you, you are an extremely intelligent beautiful
woman and obviously too good for that ass you dated. I think that eventually
you will find the right person.” She looked into his green eyes.

“Thank
you for saying that.” She took a step back and turned towards the sofa, she did
not trust herself to be so close to Ivan.
 
She definitely wanted to kiss him. “What about you? Any broken hearts to
speak of?” She said trying to calm her nerves.

“Not
really, I am not big on the whole relationship thing.”

“What
does that mean, relationship thing?” Before he could speak, the door opened and
in walked a tall beautiful woman. Stephanie recognized her from the photos in
the magazines with Ivan. She had long blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Ashley
gave Stephanie a once over and turned her nose up before returning her
attention to Ivan. Ivan tried to contain his anger. “Why are you here, Ashley?”

Stephanie
saw that as her cue to leave. “Well, if we are done here Mr. Quinn.” He
interrupted. “Ivan.” Stephanie smiled slightly and continued, “Ivan, if you
don’t need me anymore I’m going to head home.”

 
“No, he won’t need you anymore this
evening.” Ashley glanced down at her watch.

“It’s
probably past your bedtime.” She said snidely. Stephanie rolled her eyes
wanting to tell her exactly what she could do with her ‘bedtime’ but decided
against it.

“Stephanie,
give me a minute. I will take you home.”

“That
won’t be necessary. I can take a cab.”

“Yes,
Ivan, let her take a cab.” Ashley hissed.

“Stephanie
give me a few minutes and I will take you home,” he said with such authority
that Stephanie nodded in agreement.

“Okay,
I will run to the ladies room and meet you back here in a few minutes.”

He
looked over at Stephanie with a soft expression and said. “Thank you.”

Stephanie
walked out of the office closing the door behind her. She grabbed her phone to
call Bri. The phone rang one time and went to voice mail. ‘Her meeting must
have run late,’ Stephanie thought as she glanced at the time. ‘I’ll call her
later.’

CHAPTER SEVEN

“Ms.
Robinson you will have to leave now if you want to make it in time for your
four thirty appointment at O’Hara restaurant.”

“Huh,
how is it you let me schedule a meeting so late in afternoon?”

“Sorry,
but it was the only time that fit into your schedule.”

“Okay,
give me ten minutes and call the client to confirm the appointment
;;
I don’t want to go all the way over there only to
find out that they canceled.”

A
few minutes later the appointment was confirmed and she was heading out the
door.

----------

He
was so close, Brianna could feel the heat from his body and his warm breath
tickled her neck, he inhaled deeply.

“Damn
Bri, you smell so good,” he said before his mouth connected with hers. The kiss
was so intense that Brianna could feel the wetness pooling in her panties, she
moaned. His tongue moved around in her mouth, she could taste the alcohol. He
captured her tongue and sucked on it until her mouth watered.
 
He was so turned on he had a hard time
getting
the
 
door
open to his condo. Once the door was opened he pulled Brianna inside before
closing the door with his foot. Brianna cupped his face with her hands and
pulled his lips back to hers then wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs
around his waist as he backed her into the nearest wall causing pictures on the
end table to fall over. He grabbed her ass as he pulled her into his throbbing
erection.

“Oh
my god, this is so not professional, I don’t do this, EVER,” she said as she
started breathing heavily.
 
He
pulled her blouse over her head and unsnapped her bra allowing her beautiful
full breasts to fall. He captured her nipple with his teeth and lightly bit
down on it right before running his tongue along to soothe the

sting
. She was becoming undone as he continued to grind his
erection into her moist center.

“Oh
my god I’m coming
I’m…..”
Before she could utter
another word, tremors shook her entire body.
‘Shit’
she was not out of her panties and she already had

an
orgasm.

“I
want you so bad, Bri, it hurts. Tell me to stop, tell me to stop now before we
get to the bedroom.”
 
He said while
carrying her to the bedroom.

“I
want you, I want you inside me now.” Brianna said, barely able to catch her
breath. He dropped her on the bed. “You are so beautiful,” he said as his eyes
grazed over her entire body. He knelt in front of the bed and pulled her body
towards him; he hooked his finger on the waistband of her white lace panties
and slid them down her legs. He inserted a finger in her pussy; she moaned and
closed her eyes grinding herself into his finger. He withdrew his finger and
licked her juices off of it.

“You
are so wet,” he said as he lowered his head, kissing her other set of lips.
With his nose touching her clit he inhaled taking in her womanly scent, he loved
her smell.
 
He ran his tongue along
the length of her pussy, he felt her shiver. He smiled as he began to suck,
lick, and kiss her beautiful pussy. “I could get addicted to this,” he
whispered. He continued to suck her juices as she fisted his hair trying to
pull him even closer as she grinded on his face. He inserted his tongue in her
heat as he used his first two fingers to rub her swollen clit in a circular
motion. He continued to thoroughly tongue fuck her until she screamed his name
out from another orgasm slamming into her. He held her in place as her body
stopped trembling; he quickly shed his clothes, sheathed himself with a condom
and mounted her, entering her with one swift thrust. She screamed with
pleasure
as he stayed motionless so that her body could
adjust to his size. “You are so wet and so tight.” He was losing every shred of
control he had. She wrapped her legs around his waist.
