Kacy walked to her bedroom ignorant of the fact that Ernst was once again
following her.
―Where are you going?‖ he questioned as she entered her closet and
pulled out a pair of jeans and a tee shirt.
―About thirty miles from here. I don‘t know him. New client.‖ Her
fingers were on the buttons of her shirt as she began to undress.
Ernst continued watching her and Kacy tried to stay calm. The fact he
kept his distance spoke volumes. ―Let me come along,‖ he said as gently as
he could.
For a moment, Kacy worried the inside of her lower lip, unsure if she
should keep undressing. When he made no further movement, she decided to
proceed, especially since she did feel comfortable with him. Safe even.
Shrugging out of the silk blouse, she pulled on the tee shirt and began to
change pants.
―Is there a particular reason you want to come along on my call?‖
―Not really, other than the fact he is a man you don‘t know, and it is
ten-thirty at night,‖ he growled, watching her slide on the other pair of jeans.
―Sure, but you can‘t get in the way.‖ Her words were quick. He
didn‘t miss the smile she had.
Ernst climbed in her van; and Kacy felt him watching as she clipped
her cell phone on her side, got into her van, and backed out of the garage,
driving off into the night.

Rubbing the back of her neck, Kacy restocked her van. It was one in
the morning and she was exhausted. At least tomorrow was Sunday and she
could sleep in a bit. Having Ernst with her had been a godsend. Mr. Sing had
wanted more than just her expertise in electricity, making a pass at her the
second she had handed him the bill.
She smiled as she remembered Ernst stepping between them and
asking him to please not hit on his woman. Mr. Sing had apologized and paid
her. The van ride back had been silent as she‘d mentally run over what she
needed to do.
So now, she wanted nothing more than to climb into bed. Of course,
there was one other thing she wouldn‘t mind doing and his name was Ernst.
Shaking her head to get her focus back, Kacy finished restocking the van and
shut the door.
Going inside the house, she saw Ernst leaning against the wall lead-
ing to the kitchen. His pale eyes were on her from the moment she walked in
the door. Kacy sent him a nervous smile. This man took her breath away.
―Thanks for going with me,‖ she offered as she closed the door to the
garage behind her.
―You get hit on a lot?‖ he asked, unfolding his body and walking to-
wards her.
―It happens,‖ Kacy said and shrugged that fact off. Kicking off her
shoes, she put her keys by the door.
―Well, I should get going,‖ Ernst said as he ran his hand down her
face.
―Thanks for dinner,‖ she said.
Looking into her eyes, Ernst leaned down to kiss her. The heat im-
mediately sparked to life. As if against his will, he drew away from her
tempting mouth. ―Dream of me Kacy, 'cause you know I will be dreaming of
you.‖ One more fast kiss and he was gone, slipping away into the night.
Slumping against the wall, Kacy closed her eyes and relived the feel
of his lips on hers. ―I am one stupid broad to let that man walk out of my

door.‖ Disgusted with herself, she turned off the lights, walked down the hall
to her room, and put on her sleep clothes.
A pounding on the door startled her. Her next door neighbor, Mrs.
Wilder, was an elderly woman who would sometimes come over late at night
when she got spooked or needed to go to the emergency room. Heading up
the hall at a jog, she jerked the door open to find not her neighbor, but Ernst
standing at the other side of the door. Kacy‘s eyes grew wide as she backed
up almost to the wall of the entryway as he followed her inside. Not a word
passed his mouth as he grabbed her ass and hauled her up against him. His
lips ground on hers as he claimed her mind, soul, and body. She was his and
she knew it.
Clambering to get closer, she wrapped her legs around his waist as
his strong hands dug into the flesh of her ass. With one swift kick, he shut the
door behind him and carried her down the hall to her bedroom, shouldering
his way into the room.
Lips still mashed together, he laid her down on the bed and then fol-
lowed, covering her softer body with his firm one. Her hands began tugging
up his shirt as her skin searched for his, desperately needing to feel it upon
her own.
Ernst tore his mouth off hers and stared into her eyes as he tried to
regain control of his breathing. Sitting up, he whipped off his shirt. Naked
desire blazed in her gaze.
―Touch me,‖ he rasped.
Kacy sat up as well so they were knee to knee on her bed. Eyes rov-
ing over his exposed torso, she licked her lips in anticipation of touching such
a work of art. Reaching for the moderately haired chest, she laid her spread
hands across his pectorals. The heat of his skin burned her palms; the
coarseness of his chest hair contrasted with the smoothness of the rest.
Her hands moved down over his ribs and across his six pack, then
back up again and down his shoulders and arms. ―You are amazing,‖ she
whispered as she continued to touch his body. ―So strong.‖ Kacy looked at
how dark her skin was against his. Inhaling, she smelled the mixture of his
cologne, his natural scent, and the desire that flowed in the room.
With a direction and mind of their own, her hands moved back down
across his taut stomach and to his waistband. A deep, pulling need was alive
inside her. She wanted this man more than she wanted her next breath.
But the disappointment. And what came after. Her body stiffened
and her eyes grew wide with fear.
Ernst noticed the change in her body immediately and grabbed her
hands, pulling her body into his. Wrapping his steel-bound arms around her,
his willpower just about crumbed as her face burrowed into his neck. She
smelled so sweet.
―I‘m sorry,‖ she mumbled against his neck.

Praying for strength, Ernst set her away from him. ―Why did you
stop touching me? Do you not like my body? Do I repulse you?‖
―No.‖ Immediately she reached for his arm. ―I don‘t want to disap-
point you.‖
Ernst tucked her hair behind her ear. ―You will not disappoint me.
Can I touch you now?‖ he asked softly.
―Yes,‖ she said quietly.
A grin spread across his face. ―I have been looking forward to this
since I met you.‖ He reached for the hem of her gray tank top and lifted the
garment from her body.
They always said blue flames were among the hottest, and the fires
that burned in Ernst‘s eyes did that saying justice. His gaze took its sweet
time moving over her bare chest.
―You are gorgeous,‖ he managed to say as he swallowed repeatedly,
trying to get moisture back in his mouth.
Her breasts were full and he knew they were made to suckle him and
one day their child. Her stomach was flat but not rigid like his. She was firm,
but definitely feminine.
Reaching forward, he brushed her hair back over both shoulders. Not
wanting anything to block his view. Then he took two fingers and trailed
them down her sternum to her belly button.
―Your skin is like silk,‖ he said as he watched her nipples harden un-
der his gaze. ―I can‘t wait to suck on your breasts.‖ Moving off the bed he
stood before her in nothing but jeans and socks. He‘d kicked off his shoes as
he‘d explored her.
―Come here,‖ he said.
Her gaze on his, Kacy moved to stand in front of him. The one lamp
lit in the room, casting a glow about them. His large hands settled on her hips
only to move upward and cup her breasts. He felt her tremble beneath his
touch. His thumbs brushed over the tight nipples, sending more shockwaves
through her.
Lowering his head, Ernst took one nipple in his mouth. His tongue
laved it while he suckled. Kacy whimpered and gripped his arms for support.
Dragging his tongue along her skin, he moved to the second one and sho-
wered it with the same attention.
Kacy screamed as her first orgasm in years overtook her body. Eyes a
bit fuzzy, she met the gaze of the man totally supporting her weight.
―What are you doing to me?‖ she muttered.
Ernst swept her up and laid her back on the bed. ―Showing you what
real pleasure is.‖ He ripped off the bottoms she wore, leaving her totally
naked beneath him.
―Ernst,‖ she uttered, embarrassment plain in her low voice, ―I just
came.‖

His hand swept over the apex of her thighs and he gritted his teeth as
if to control himself. ―I know,
schätzchen
. Let‘s see if we can‘t set some
records.‖
Kacy shivered at those words. His warm body move away and she
whimpered. Then his breath was by her ear. ―Don‘t worry; I‘m not going
anywhere.‖
She felt him beside her. Naked this time. Kacy could feel his erection
pressing into her side. He would cut her in two. But he didn‘t shove into her.
Instead, his mouth began licking and nibbling around her neck.
―You taste so good, Kacy,‖ he said between caresses.
Kacy felt that burn within her core begin again. Her hips arched in si-
lent invitation as she mewled in pleasure.
―Not yet. You‘re not ready yet.‖ Ernst began to kiss his way down
her body.
Not ready yet?
Her body could light the whole city it had so much vol-
tage coursing through it! Her cries were of pleasure and disappointment.
He kissed her breasts and moved down to her belly, his tongue dip-
ping into her navel. He licked across her waist until her body shook from all
the tremors coursing through it.
Ernst passed the part of her that called to him with its spicy scent, the
damp curls he wanted to touch and taste. He passed her core, just allowing
his breath to touch her there. He licked down the inside of one leg to her foot
and back up the other.
Kacy squirmed on the bed. ―Ernst,‖ she begged.
―What?‖ His voice was rough with passion. He kissed her as his
body settled beside her.
―I want—‖
He ran his finger down the bridge of her nose, then caressed her lips.
Over her chin and through the valley between her full breasts. Past her belly
button and through the patch of wet, sable hair that was at the juncture of her
thighs.
His finger moved across the thick nether lips and slipped inside. Ka-
cy came off the bed in another explosive orgasm, screaming his name to the
room.
Ernst slid another finger inside her tight body as he felt her juices
covering his hand.
Dear God, she is so tight around me.
He just about came right
there.
His thumb began to rub her clit, knowing the callused skin brought
her even more pleasure. ―That‘s it, baby,‖ he whispered. ―Just let it go.‖
It didn‘t take long before her body was once again on the brink of an
orgasm. Her legs clamped around his wrist to keep him in place.
Ernst latched his mouth onto one taut nipple. Her lower body lifted
up as he sucked it at the speed matching the thrust of his fingers. Then he

maneuvered his body between her legs, withdrawing his two slick fingers.
His thumb stayed on her swollen clit.
Slowly, he guided the head of his unyielding erection to the heat of
her body. A small push later, and the tip was in.
Kacy stiffened at the intrusion. Ernst moved his head up to hers so
their mouths could meet. ―Trust me,
schatzi
.‖ Unhurriedly, he pushed his
hips forward, driving himself home into her moist heat.
―Ernst,‖ she panted. She began to arch against him, but he shook his
head against her neck.
―Wait. Just hold still.‖ Eyes closed, Ernst prayed for strength. He
wanted to pound the hell out of the woman beneath him. Stake his claim on
her. Make her understand that no other man would even begin to compare to
him.
Drops of sweat fell from his head to her skin. Kacy realized he was
holding back his own pleasure to allow her hers. Closing her eyes, she felt his
love flow over her.
―Please, Ernst,‖ Kacy said as her hands captured his face, bringing it
back up to hers for a kiss. ―Make love to me.‖
―Forever,‖ he promised as his hips began to move back and forth.
Each stroke made her shiver. As another orgasm poured over her,
Ernst seemed to lose the thin thread of control he had.
His thrusts grew deeper and faster. Kacy met each one with a cry of
pleasure.
Ernst pressed his mouth to hers, his thick tongue matched the piston-
ing of his hips.
Kacy‘s legs locked around his waist as he plowed deeper into her.
Her eyes had long since rolled back into her head. Nails dug into the tender
flesh of his shoulders as he thrust one last time and exploded deep within
her.
As his seed covered her womb, their souls intertwined. At that mo-
ment, they were one—not a white man and a black woman—but one soul,
