Second Chance at Love (Love Conquers All) (14 page)

Kissing his way down her body, Dom stopped long enough to dip his tongue in her belly button. Stroking her tummy he felt the barely there stretch marks. He was tempted to forgo using a condom for the sole purpose of impregnating her with his seed. He had never imagined that let alone had a desire for a woman to carry his baby until now.

The trembling in Karen’s legs was uncontrollable. Dom was kissing her in places she’d never been kissed. “What are you doing?” she wondered aloud, anxiety lacing her voice when his lips brushed her inner right thigh.

“Shh…relax. I’m not going to hurt you.”

Oh…My…Gawd!”
Karen wanted to scream as she felt his mouth and tongue explore her in a way that was foreign to her. She had heard about it, read about it, but had never experienced it firsthand until now. The quivering in her lower belly slowly descended into her womanly core, building a tension so sweet and intense Karen wanted to cry. When the tension had nowhere else to go, Karen shattered into a million pieces. The scream she released ricocheted around the room, hitting all four walls.

Dom reached in the nightstand to retrieve a condom. Ripping the foiled package, he had himself sheathed in no time. Climbing back on the bed, he commanded, “Turn over.”

Obediently, Karen did as she was told. “What are you doing?” She nervously asked, her heartbeat kicking up another notch as he settled behind her, pulling her up to rest on all fours.

Dom chuckled. “Baby, calm down. I told you I’m not going to hurt.”

Just as Karen was about to say “Okay,” Dom entered her with a hard thrust. Dom gritted out a cuss under his breath when she yelped out in pain.

“Am I hurting you?”

“I’m alright,” Karen lied. Taking a few deep breaths she told herself if she relaxed her body she could adjust to his size.

He couldn’t help himself. He closed his eyes, easing farther into her tight core. His arms trembled as he supported his full weight, giving her time to adjust. Slowly he began moving in and out.

Relaxing, Karen began to match Dom’s movements. She followed right along as he picked up the pace. Karen didn’t recognize the sounds coming from her as she alternated between purring, moaning, and hissing.

Drilling into her, he grabbed a fistful of hair, gently yanking Karen’s head back, turning it far enough to angle his mouth over hers. Both of the lovers moaned as they hungrily devoured the other’s mouth. Releasing her mouth Dom smacked Karen on the butt at the same time his hips thrust harder and deeper. He knew the instant he repeatedly hit her spot when she let out a piercing scream.

Delirium swept over Karen as she and Dom’s frantic lovemaking reached a crescendo. With one final thrust of his hips Karen tipped over the side of the cliff, sending her body into a convulsion of orgasmic spasms. Dom immediately followed.

Karen awoke in the middle of the night startled. Something solid was pressed against her back. A heavy weight had her waist and one of her legs pinned down as she lay on her side. Disoriented, going into a panic, her heart began to pound wildly in her chest. Her surroundings didn’t feel right.
Where am I?
Squirming to get free, Karen felt the weight at her waist and leg tightening.

“Am I too heavy, Babe?”

Dom.
Karen’s pounding heart slowly resumed its normal relaxed beat at the soothing sound of the deep voice heavy with sleep. Remembering she had just had the best loving in her life, Karen purred with satisfaction.

“No.” Feeling slightly embarrassed, she admitted, “I forgot where I was. I thought I was in my own bed.”

Karen shivered when Dom kissed the back of her neck. “If you want I can take you home.”

Turning over to face him, she teased, “You trying to get rid of me?”

Lazily stroking her arm, Dom drawled, “Never.”

She kissed the center of his chest. “You sure?”

Reaching over to the nightstand, Dom grabbed a condom, quickly putting it in place. Lying face to face, he angled her leg so it rested high on his hip. This time when he entered her, it was agonizingly slow.

“Why do you like messing with me, woman?” Dom murmured, burying his face into the crook of her neck.

Karen bit her bottom lip to keep from screaming. Between him sucking her neck, palming her firm round bottom and sliding in and out of her, hitting every sweet spot she had, Karen surely believed she would die a death of sweet ecstasy. A deep, throaty moan escaped her lips when he slid out and thrust in again, burying himself to the hilt.

“Answer me,” he demanded, giving another thrust of his hips.

“I’m…not… I’m not…” she panted, digging her nails into the thick, corded muscles of his shoulders.

Thrust. “Don’t lie to me.” Thrust.

Karen could hardly catch her breath. Each time she went to open her mouth to answer him he rewarded her with another thrust, only to slow down and thrust again. Rolling her onto her back he lifted both her legs high on his shoulders. This time when he thrust into her she did scream out from the deep penetration that sparked both pain and the most exquisite pleasure.

“Pleeeeease!” Karen screamed out in desperation.

Slowing his pace he took her mouth in a hungry kiss. Karen matched his hunger, crushing her lips to his, suckling his tongue like it was the best confectionary treat she’d ever tasted.

Releasing the kiss, he murmured against her lips, “Please what?”

“Don’t stop,” she panted lifting her hips, grinding her pelvis into his.

Coming to a complete stop, he stared into her eyes. The grin he gave her was full of mischief. “You never answered me.”

When Karen thrust her hips and he didn’t respond, Dom could see her lips form into the cutest pout from the moonlight seeping through the closed blinds. Blushing in the dark, she mumbled her answer. “You make me feel sexy the way you look at me when I tease you.”

She wanted to tell him that not even her husband had looked at her that way. Truth be told Gregory never found her playful teasing appealing. He always appeared annoyed, so Karen had stop trying to do little things like teasing to spice up their love life.

A crooked smile curved his lips. “Yeah?” If teasing him made her feel sexy he’d be okay with her teasing for the rest of their lives.

Karen nodded, squeezing her inner muscles, clamping tight around his engorged manhood. She felt a sense of overwhelming femininity when he responded to her body’s call.

Taking her mouth in another passionate kiss, his hips continued the sensual torturing, driving her insane. This time they both reached their climatic high as one.

“You know I could have made you breakfast when you took me home to shower again and change clothes.” Karen smiled behind the large, colorful mug before taking a sip of her mint tea. Dom was devouring the plate of pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausage the waitress just put before him. Setting down the mug, Karen sliced into the French toast on her plate.

“Nah, babe, you do enough cooking,” he told her around the food in his mouth. Picking up a large glass of orange juice, he took a huge gulp. “Besides, we needed to get out if you know what I mean.”

Karen blushed when Dom winked at her. It was true. They indeed needed to leave the confines of Starr’s home, which Dom was now renting since moving back to Philly. If they hadn’t, they’d still be in bed, sheets twisted and limbs intertwined. Karen had thought the first two encounters of their passionate coming together were going to be it for the night. Oh, how wrong she was. She had been awakened just before dawn by roaming hands and tantalizing kisses. She could feel the heat creeping up her neck as their predawn activities played out in her mind. Needing to cool her heated insides she swapped the hot tea for a sip of cold ice water.

Gazing at Dom through lowered lashes, she agreed. “I definitely know what you mean.” Heaven help her, but in one night she had undergone a metamorphosis from a deprived housewife to a wanton sex kitten. Each time he touched her, she wanted more.

Getting the conversation back on safe ground, Karen asked, “So what are you doing the rest of the day?”

Dom stopped cutting into his sausage to give her a leveled stare. “Now look at who’s trying to get rid of someone.”

Playfully sucking her teeth, Karen rolled her eyes. He was good. She knew the jab was to get back at her for accusing him of the same thing the night before. “Touché, Mr. Peretti.”

“Ah, Mr. Peretti, huh?” Reaching under the table, Dom slid his hand between her jean clad thighs. Moving in closer over the table, he dropped his voice to a deep, seductive murmur so those nearby in the tiny diner couldn’t hear him. “What’s up with all the formality? After last night and this morning I’d think you’d know the difference between me and my father.”

Karen threw her head back and laughed. Easing her hand under the table, she rested it dangerously close to his groin. She too leaned in over the table, dropping her voice to a seductive murmur. “Honey, trust me, I know the difference.”

The husky sound of her laughter and warm touch of her hand was all he needed for his desire for her to flare to life again. Yeah, it was good they were in a public area. The light, gentle stroking of her fingertips against his thighs was doing a number on him. A strangled groan rumbled from his throat as visions of their coupled sweat-drenched bodies blinded him.

Dom used his free hand to halt her assault. “I see you still need a few more lessons in what happens when you tease me.”

Awareness of the most tantalizing variety swept through Karen, causing her nipples to tighten into small buds. “How soon can I get one of these lessons?”

So caught up in their sensual bantering, neither were aware the waitress had approached their table. When she interrupted by asking if they needed anything Karen jerked back disengaging their hands.
Girl get a grip. You’re in a public place!
After asking the waitress to bring the check, Dom told Karen of his plans for the day.

“I was hoping you didn’t have any plans. I’d like to spend more time with you. That is if you don’t have any plans of your own.”

Rewarding him with a smile, she said, “I’m all yours for the day.”

Tilting his head to the side, he gave her a lazy grin. “And what about tonight?”

Karen shook her head. Coyly, she told him, “We’ll see.”

The following morning, Karen had awakened in her own bed with Dom beside her. The previous night was spent with more mind blowing lovemaking. She had pouted when he told her he had to go into the office to work on an upcoming project. “Not fair.” She wanted to spend every moment with him alone. Before long the holiday break would be over, the kids would be back home, and she would resume her nights of being alone in bed. What in the world was she going to do? The last two nights were like nothing she’d ever experienced. A part of her felt cheated. She had never shared such intimacy with Gregory. It just wasn’t the sex either. Sure the sex was fantastic. But it was the way he held her after they made love, telling her how beautiful and special she was. It was lying in the dark talking about nothing and everything until falling asleep. It was about him sharing his dreams for the future with her. When life got back to normal she was going to have to suck it up and wait for their next opportunity to be alone.
Whenever that’ll be,
she mused.

The only thing that made her day bearable was Dom’s promise of picking her up later in the evening to show her the project he was working on.

Filling the tea kettle with water, Karen sat it on the burner and turned it on. Some folks preferred coffee in the morning for their caffeine kick; Karen was partial to tea or decaf hazelnut coffee with lots of flavored creamer. She picked up the portable phone and dialed Starr’s number. When she answered the phone Karen had to smile. She could hear her nieces and nephew in the background squealing and laughing. “Stop it, Kyeel!” she heard one of the toddlers squeak. “Helllp meee Aleeshaaa!” another playfully wailed.

“Hey girl, what in the world is going on over there?”

Starr laughed. “Kyle is chasing them around walking like Frankenstein. I need to have them over here more often. Ashley and Kyle are so good with them. They play with them all day. By seven they are good and sleepy. After Kevin and I bathe them they are fast asleep until the next morning.”
