Only One for Me (19 page)

“
Mmmm … yes, that’s what I
want … for now.”

“
Goodness … I … know,” he
stammered out as she slid her tongue down his neck.

“
I missed you, Cannon. I
want you so bad.” She gyrated her hips against the hardness that
was protruding through his jeans. Her body trembled as she
remembered just how endowed he was.

“
And you’re going to have
me,” he said with his lips on hers. “I just want to enjoy you a
little more before I take you into the bedroom.”

He entered another finger, and a moan
she didn’t recognize as her own voice echoed throughout the room.
Her back arched, and she held onto his neck, unable to restrain the
surges shooting through her as he sped up his fingers in an attempt
to give her the first of many orgasms that he was going to bestow
upon her.

“
We can make love right
here,” she breathlessly said. “I don’t care where. I just need to
feel you inside of me again.” She sounded like a drug addict
looking for the next hit, but she didn’t care. She had to have him,
especially if he kept pumping his fingers—which were becoming
slicker with every second—faster.

He kissed the top of her forehead and
inched down to her neck.

“
I need you in my bed.” A
guttural groan escaped his throat. “Dreamed about making love to
you in my bed. Trust me, I want you so freaking bad.”

The bulge in his jeans pressed even
more against her, confirming the truth in his words.

More unfamiliar sounds came out of her
as she moved her hips against his fingers, feeling every single
sensation ravage through her.

“
Oh, Cannon … please …
Yes! Keep …”

She felt herself falling off of the
couch as she tried to hold onto his neck, but she slipped off as he
continued to wreak pure blissful havoc on her. He managed to still
be on the couch, her legs wrapped around him as he sat on the edge
staring down at her with a hungry lust in his eyes.

“
Is it good,
baby?”

“
Yes … so damn good.” Her
right leg began to tremble, and he smiled knowingly.

“
Are you about to come for
me, baby?” His voice was low and hard, and she loved the sound. She
loved when he was in the danger zone because that meant he was
going to give it to her so good she wouldn’t be able to walk
straight afterwards. She couldn’t believe she’d been deprived from
this type of ecstasy for so long. No wonder she was begging this
man.

“
Goodness … yes!” She
turned her head from side to side, pumping her hips up to him, as
both of her legs began to shake with sensations soaring from her
womanhood. He moved her legs from around him, and leaving them on
the couch, he slid down to the floor. Placing his forehead on hers,
his fingers still worked their magic.

“
I want to hear
you.”

She could only nod her head because
the explosive vibrations were building up, ready to
burst.

“
Awwww ... yes … baby …”
She managed to stumble out with some other words she didn’t
comprehend, but who cared? She needed to get out the electric shock
waves that tore through every cell in her body. She held onto his
neck for dear life for she was floating. The floor was no longer
underneath her—just complete air surrounded her.

“
I … whhhhat … I mean …
wherrrre?” She tried to talk, but for some reason the English
vocabulary had left her and was replaced by gibberish.

He chuckled. “Are you tongue
tied?”

She simply nodded. Burying her head in
his chest, she closed her eyes. As her breathing returned to almost
normal, she felt herself once again floating on air. She opened
eyes and realized Cannon was carrying her upstairs.

“
Where are we
going?”

“
Heaven.”

*****

Cannon laid Yasmine down on the bed,
kissing her softly, but she pulled him deeper into her mouth with
erotic passionate kisses and dragged his body on top of hers. She
hastily fumbled with the button and zipper on his jeans. He wasn’t
surprised with her actions. He knew after the episode downstairs,
she wouldn’t be able to contain herself and would want him right
then and there.

He stood and pulled down his pants
along with his boxers, his erection pointing toward her, hard as a
flag pole. She sat up on her knees and kissed the middle of his
chest, as he caressed her hair. She made little circles with her
warm tongue around his nipples and ran a hand down to his other
cannon as she always called it.

His original mission was to take it
slow, but her tongue was changing his mind. He pushed her back onto
the bed and pinned her hands to the mattress with one of his hands
as the other one fumbled under the pillow. He pulled out a condom
pack and tossed it on the other side of her before taking
possession of her lips in an aggressive manner. She wrapped her
legs around his waist and thrust her hips up to him.

“
Is that a hint?” he asked
with his lips on hers.

She managed to wiggle out one of her
hands away from his and reached out to grab the condom.

“
Yes,” she answered in a
breathless whisper as she opened the packet and handed it to him.
He sat up and secured the protection. He raised her legs around his
waist as her body shook with anticipation.

He kissed her lips, gliding his tongue
across the bottom one before sinking it into her mouth once more,
drawing impatient moans from her. His hands raked down the side of
her body and rested on her hips. In one swift move, he was halfway
nestled inside of her and an exhaling moan escaped her lips. She
wiggled her hips as he slid the rest of the way in. A single tear
fell down her cheek, and he kissed her softly as an amazing smile
spread across her face.

“
I’ve hated being without
you,” she said.

“
I know, baby. Me
too.”

He began to move at a slow tempo so
she could accommodate his size again. Her muscles were tightening
around him with every stroke, and the deeper he indulged, the
tighter her walls became. She met his rhythm, reaching her hips up
to meet and sink him down into her. He watched her face evolve into
beautiful expressions of ecstasy, and her moans escalated
throughout the room, all of which caused him to speed up his
pace.

“
I was wrong earlier,” he
said in her ear. “I’m not going to show you all night how much I’ve
missed you. I’m going to show you for the rest of my life because
that’s how long it will take.”

“
Promise?”

“
Goodness, yes!” His body
began to buckle and become undone with every stroke and moan from
her. He wanted their first time after so long to be longer, but
neither could contain their need for each other as they both
climaxed at the same time, their cries of love for each other
filling the room.

Hours later they lay intertwined on
the top of the sheets after a few more rounds of lovemaking. He
looked down and smiled as Yasmine rested peacefully on his chest.
He ran his hand through her short hair, which thanks to all of
their sweating, was half straight and half curly. She let out a
soft moan, causing his semi-awake erection to awaken a little more.
He pulled her closer into his embrace and smiled as he remembered
she was sleeping in his shirt, which he had always found quite
sexy. The top two buttons were undone, and the shirt had risen up
around her stomach exposing her plump, bare bottom. She scooted
closer to him, and he realized she may be cold since the covers
were around her knees. He reluctantly pulled the cover up to her
forearms, and she softly moaned and stirred in his arms.

“
You’re awake?” she
asked.

“
Hey, sleepy
head.”

“
Mmmm…what time is
it?”

“
It’s a little after
midnight.”

“
You know we aren’t done
right?”

“
You can go again?” He sat
up with his newfound energy.

She chuckled. “Perhaps, but I was
referring to the wedding favors. There’s about five pounds of bird
seed waiting to be wrapped in tulle.”

He smacked his lips together and
popped her butt. “We’ll get to that later. But tell me something.
I’m a little curious to know the last time you … um … had
sex.”

She sat up and thumped his forehead
and wrinkled her nose in a cute smile. “Why are you being so nosey,
Dr. Nosey?”

“
Okay, I don’t really want
to know, but well you were quite tight the first time and the more
I went in, the tighter. It was like unexplored territory, which is
a good thing …” he said, grinning.

She straddled him, shaking her head
and laughing. “Get that goofy, smug grin off of your face. Let’s
just say not only are you the best I’ve ever had, you’re also the
…” her voice trailed off as she planted a kiss on his
mouth.

He slapped her butt cheeks and gave
her a cocky smile. “Figures.”

She reached under the pillow and
pulled out three more condom packs. “And why were all these condoms
under your pillow?” She plopped them down on his chest and sat up
with her arms crossed, raising a teasing eyebrow.

“
Because, woman,” he said,
flipping her over on her back, bringing out a laughing gasp from
her, “I placed them there after my shower. You came in my house
fine as Argentine wine in those sexy white skinny jeans. Besides,
it was written all over your face when I opened the
door.”

She pinched him playfully on the arm.
“You tricked me. Opening the door practically naked. I’ve been hot
and bothered all night.” She ran her hand down to his fully aroused
erection and gave it a strong stroke. “Looks like someone is ready
to go again.”

“
Of course. I’m the best
you’ve ever had.”

Chapter
Nine

“
Wow. This is your
parents’ new home?” Yasmine asked as they pulled up into the long,
winding driveway of a two story colonial-styled brick home with
tall white columns on the front porch. The Arrington’s were having
a family cookout since it was a beautiful spring day, and their
parents had just returned from a two-week European vacation and
wanted to see their children.

“
It’s gorgeous,” Yasmine
continued as she stared in complete awe. “The landscaping is
beautiful.”

“
Mother did a lot of the
planting of the flowers and shrubs along with a horticulturist at
the botanical gardens,” Cannon said. “You know my mom doesn’t mind
getting dirty.”

“
I remember. Can’t wait to
see her.”

“
She can’t wait to see
you, either.”

Moments later they walked into the
house and could see straight through the two-story foyer to the
veranda. Justin was at the grill in the outdoor kitchen, along with
Shelbi. They were cooking all of the meats. Everyone else was asked
to bring a side dish.

“
Let’s see where Shelbi
wants the pasta salad.”

“
Okay,” Yasmine answered.
She was a little nervous. She hadn’t seen the Arrington family in
years except for Shelbi. She’d always gotten along with them, but
she didn’t want anyone to jump to the conclusion that her and
Cannon were officially back together. They were still taking things
one day at a time.

“
Is that my girl?” a
woman’s voice asked.

Yasmine felt a pinch on her arm and
turned around to see Dr. Darla Arrington, Cannon’s mother. She
didn’t seem to have aged one bit, except her reddish-brown natural
curls that Raven had inherited were almost all gray. She still had
the glowing, smooth cocoa skin that Bria and Sean also had and the
charming, witty smile that Shelbi and Cannon possessed.

Yasmine had been very close to his
mother and had kept in contact for a few years after the breakup,
but after a while it became hard because Dr. Darla would always
mention his name, and Yasmine didn’t want to hear about anything he
was doing.

“
Hello, Dr. Darla.” The
ladies hugged. “It’s so good to see you.”

“
Missed you, but I’m so
glad you and Cannon are back together.” Dr. Darla squeezed her
tight and kissed her cheek. “My son was a wreck over you for years.
Now maybe he’ll give me some grandbabies.”

Cannon glanced at Yasmine. “We’re
taking things one day at a time; however, I’m never letting her get
away from me again.”

Dr. Darla took Yasmine’s hand and led
her outside. “When it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” She smiled
and squeezed Yasmine’s fingers.

Moments later, Yasmine found herself
at a table by the pool with Shelbi and Dr. Darla. Cannon was the
designated bartender and was in the outdoor bar area making
strawberry rum daiquiris for the ladies.

“
So glad you decided to
have a cookout, Mother,” Shelbi said. “It’s finally a warm day in
Memphis.”

“
It’s almost May, so
expect plenty more.” Dr. Darla looked toward the veranda. “And as
long as my children cook and I supply the house, you can come every
weekend. Oh, there’s Bria and Rasheed, but what’s that dish she’s
holding?”
