In a Cold Sweat (11 page)

“Oh! You scared me,” she said when I pulled back the shower curtain and stepped in with her.

“Who you think it was?” I asked and picked up the soap. She looked so good standing there, naked and wet with beads of water rolling down her beautiful dark skin.

“I didn’t think it was you. Usually I find you
laid
out on the bed, rock hard, waitin’ for me to wrap my lips around it,” Mystique said and pressed her body against mine.

“You want me to go?”

“No!” she said loud and fast. “This just means you’re gettin’ more comfortable with me and that makes me happy.” Mystique began planting kisses on my chest and then she looked into my eyes. “I know you only started seeing me because I look like your wife. And I’m cool with that. But I always hoped you’d see me.”

“I do see you. And I like it.” I ran my hands across her breasts and teased them with my tongue. I glided my tongue around her beautiful dark circles and sucked her nipples. Mystique took a step away from me and pressed her back against the shower wall. She raised one leg and spread her lips.

I like the fact that she’s so tall ’cause it makes it easy for me to enter her while she’s standing up. Once I was inside her, Mystique let her leg drop and pushed her legs together as tight as she could. She wrapped her arms around my neck and forced her tongue in my mouth.

There was real passion in her kiss. More than I had felt coming from her during any of our previous encounters. My surprise appearance in the shower and her interpretation of those events may have something to do with that, but I liked it. I like kissing, and it seemed like her mouth was designed to accept mine. I bent my knees a little deeper, pushed myself deeper inside her and tried to swallow her tongue.

I felt her thighs begin to quiver and Mystique pushed me off of her. “We gotta get outta here.”

Mystique left me standing there in the shower and grabbed a towel on her way out of the bathroom. I laughed a little and turned off the shower. By the time I came out of the bathroom, she had dried herself off and was laying on the bed waiting for me.

Mystique rolled over on her back, lifted her legs and grabbed her ankles. "Come get this pussy.”

I dropped my towel, walked over to the bed and then dropped to my knees. “Yeah,” Mystique said, smiled and then nodded her head. “You know what this pussy needs.”

Mystique spread her legs wider and I fingered her clit and felt it gettin’ harder. She gently moved her body so I could taste her. I ran my tongue along her lips and licked her clit. Mystique moaned when I tasted her. I slid my tongue inside her and sucked her moist lips gently. I licked her with the tip of my tongue and her clit got even harder. Mystique’s body began to quiver. “Ooooh shit!”

When she couldn’t take it anymore, Mystique pushed my head away. She quickly rolled to the other side of the bed and tried to catch her breath. I
laid
down on the bed next to her and ran my hand down her back and along that fat ass. I love touching her skin; it’s so fuckin’ soft.

Mystique rolled me gently on my back and got on top of me. I grabbed my dick and she eased herself down on it. She rested her head against my chest and started making circles around my nipples. Then Mystique quickly flicked her tongue at one. I liked that, so my body shook a little. She sat up and rode me slowly at first while I sucked on her nipples. When I started feeling her legs trembling on my thighs, I arched my back and pushed harder.

“That’s it, baby. Fuck me,” Mystique managed before she bit her lip and grinded her hips down on me. I pumped harder.

Then, all of a sudden, Mystique let out this gut-wrenching scream. “
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
!” she rolled off me and tried to crawl away. But I wasn’t havin’ that. I quickly rolled off the bed, grabbed Mystique by her hips and entered her slowly. Mystique began to moan and shake while I eased in every inch. She began winding her hips as I slid in and out of her effortlessly. Mystique was very wet, but she had excellent control of her muscles. I let go of her hips and she banged her ass against me. Mystique began to buck harder and harder as I squeezed her cheeks and did my damn level best to knock her back out. I leaned forward and grabbed Mystique by her shoulders.
 
I began to pound that ass until her body started to tremble. “Ooooooooh shit, I like it like that!”

Yeah I know.

I slowed my pace, pulling almost completely out of her, slowly easing myself back inside of her. I reached between her legs and fingered her clit with one hand and squeezed her breast with the other.

Then I thought I heard something in the other room. At first I thought it was the television, but when I heard it again I stopped moving. Mystique looked back at me like I had lost my mind. “Why you stop?”

I put one finger over my lips to quiet her. “Shhh.” I eased myself out of Mystique and whispered, “Keep moaning.”

I looked around the room for my guns. They were in the other room with my clothes. “Shit,” I said softly and looked at Mystique. She covered herself but kept moaning like I asked her to. On the way to the door, I picked up the towel and wrapped it around me.

When I got to the door I put my ear to it, but I couldn’t hear anything. Maybe I was just being paranoid, or had I really heard somebody out there? I looked at Mystique and she shrugged her shoulders. Just to be sure, I opened the door slowly and looked before taking a step. That’s when I saw him.

I could see his reflection in the television moving into position to catch me coming out of the room. My guns were still sitting on the coffee table, but I’d be dead before I got to them. As soon as he got close enough to the door, I kicked the gun out of his hand and rushed him.

I caught him off guard and he fell to the floor. I punched him over and over again in the face. I grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him to his feet. I reached back and hit him again, only when I did, the towel fell off. So there I am, fightin’ this mutha fucka naked.

I reached to pick it up, and he caught me with a good shot to the face. When he swung again, I stepped to the side and wrapped the towel around his neck. He struggled to get that towel off his neck, but that wasn’t happenin’. I pulled the end of the towel as hard as I could and rammed him face first into the wall. That took some of the fight out of him. I jammed my knee in his back and pulled the ends of the towel until he slowly stopped moving. I kept the pressure on until his body went limp and fell to the floor.

I checked for a pulse to be sure he was dead and then went back in the room with Mystique. She was sitting on the bed with a gun in her hand. “Why didn’t you tell me you had a gun?”

“You didn’t ask,” Mystique said and smiled at me.

After briefly considering getting back in bed with her like James Bond would have, I asked to borrow her phone. I called Freeze. “Who is this?” he asked.

“It’s Black. I need a cleaner.”

“Where you at?”

“I’m with Mystique,” I said and pressed end. Mystique gave me a bewildered look. “Freeze always knows where I am.”

“Okay, I can understand that, but what’s a cleaner?”

“Somebody to get rid of the body and clean up the place so there’s no trace that he was here.”

“The room’s in your name, so I guess we can’t just leave him here,” Mystique said and got out of bed.

“Not an option,” I said to her and watched her as she began to get dressed and considered picking up where I left off one more time. Yeah, Mystique was gettin’ hard to resist.

“I don’t see or hear from you for days at a time. I have to practically beg you to come over here. When I do see you, it’s only for a couple of hours and then you’re gone again. We never go anywhere, we never do anything. You just come over here and fuck me once, maybe twice if I’m lucky, and then you’re gone and I never know when I’ll see you again,” Tanya told Freeze.

For his part, Freeze just sat there, listening to Tanya but not speaking. He had heard this all before, not only from Tanya, but from Paulleen. It wasn’t that she was saying anything that wasn’t
true,
he just didn’t want to hear it.

Lately Tanya had been bringing the subject up more frequently, just as Paulleen had before her. Paulleen’s solution to the issue was to fuck everybody. He wondered if Tanya would come to the same resolution. Freeze looked at her and knew the answer was yes, she would. He knew the easiest way to make your woman grudge fuck was to ignore her. But as long as Tanya showed him some respect and kept it out of his face, he really didn’t care.

Maybe the whole havin’ a woman thing ain’t for you, kid,
Freeze thought and stood up. “And we do go somewhere.”

“Where?”

“The mall.”

Tanya smiled. “Yeah, well, okay there is that.” The last time Freeze took Tanya shopping, he dropped damn near ten grand. Freeze may not have been around as much as she may have liked, but one thing he did know how to do was take care of his woman.

Tanya hadn’t had to come out of her pocket for anything since her and Freeze got together. No mortgage, no bills, nothing. She had long ago traded her old Taurus sedan for a new Lexus LS 460. The note was taken care of monthly by the finance company that Black owned.

Over the past year, her real estate business had picked up and Tanya was able to bank all of that money. And cash on hand was never a problem because Freeze always left whatever cash he had in his pocket on her vanity. “I can always get more cash,” he would tell her.

Freeze started heading for the door. “Where are you goin’?” Tanya asked.

“I got someplace I need to be.”
Anyplace but here,
Freeze thought.

“So that’s your solution to the problem?” Tanya got out of bed and followed Freeze out of her bedroom. “That’s your solution? You're gonna just leave?”

Freeze stopped and turned to face Tanya. She stopped suddenly when she saw the fury in his eyes.

“Yeah. This is my solution,” Freeze said, walking toward her. Tanya started backing up. “I’m out. And when I’m gone, ain’t no tellin’ when you gonna see me again. Ain’t that what you said?” By now, Tanya had backed her way back into the bedroom. “Ain’t that what you said?” Freeze shouted.

“Yes,” Tanya said softly.

“You think I wanna come out here to hear that shit? You know who the fuck I am. You know what the fuck I do. Now, all of a fuckin’ sudden you got a fuckin’ problem with it?”

“No, baby.”

“I didn’t think so.”

“It’s just that I love you, baby,” Tanya said and meant it. She really was in love with Freeze; Tanya just wanted to feel some love coming from him. “I just wanna see more of you,
that’s
all. Is that so wrong for me to wanna see and spend time with the man I love?”

“Whatever,” Freeze said and started to leave again.

And once again, Tanya followed him out of her bedroom. She locked her arm around his as he continued to walk. Then Tanya got in front of him to block the door. “You not gonna give me some before you go, baby?” she whined with a sad face.

Freeze took out his gun and Tanya smiled. He took a deep breath and turned around. Freeze went back in the bedroom and Tanya gladly followed behind him. He put the gun under the pillow and took off his shirt.

Tanya allowed her gown to drop to the floor and stretched out on the bed. Once Freeze was undressed, he joined her. He lay on his back. “Go on, get you
some
,” he said, imitating the way she said it and locked his fingers behind his head.

Tanya quickly took Freeze into her mouth and teased his head with her tongue. When he was rock hard, Tanya straddled Freeze and lowered herself into him. She slowly began to move her hips from side to side and slid up and down on him.

Tanya sat up and placed her hands on his legs, and then her feet on the bed and Freeze arched his back and thrust
himself
deep inside her. Tanya grabbed the back of his head and forced a nipple into his mouth. Freeze licked and sucked her nipple and Tanya’s head drifted back. Her mouth opened wide and she screamed, “Shit!”
