_____You help Carla bring the teas and condiments to the table. Returning to the sofa, you can only smile when she settles into the loveseat. "Let's talk about you. Aren't you a southern girl? When did you move up here?"
_____"About 18 months ago, with my sister. Two days later her boyfriend showed up and proposed. So she moved out and I got stuck with the rent and an extra bedroom."
_____"This is a two bedroom?"
_____"Yeah. I haven't had time to get rid of the second bed. I use it as storage space now. I was going to give it up for a smaller space, but I fell in love with the harbor. Let me show you."
_____You take an extra sip of tea before following her onto the balcony. It is a beautiful sight. Lights dance on the water's edge and beyond that stretched miles of dark waves. "I know some people who would kill for a view like this."
_____"I really lucked out." Carla shivers and you move closer to shield her from the breeze. You definitely do not resist when she pulls your arms around her. "Tell me something. What made you think I was new to the life?"
_____"You said so. Remember the time I joined you and Jackie for lunch? When I got to your table, you were telling her that you were new on the scene."
_____She laughs. "I said I was new to bar life. Now that I'm out of school, the only option for meeting women seems to be the bar. I was just complaining out that."
_____"Well, that and WNBA games. So all this time I was afraid to be your first . . ."
_____"And you would have been the 3rd. Let's go inside before we catch colds."
_____This time Carla sits on the sofa next to you. She brings a chocolate covered cherry to her lips and licks it playfully. Your clit tingles with every stroke. When she sucks it, the chocolate shell breaks and the sweet liquor dribbles down her chin. "Damn!" She begins laughing. "This is what I get for trying to be sexy."
_____You notice a smudge of brown under her lower lip. "Let me get that for you." Gently drawing her face closer, you begin licking the errant chocolate. Licks turn into sucks and nibbles as your lips move down her neck. Carla moans and rakes her fingers through your hair. Her hands have found their way inside your vest; your erect nipples are at the mercy of her fingertips.
_____In the next moment, you've returned to her mouth for that first, sweet kiss. It's an experienced, wicked tongue you find behind those soft cool lips. Falling back onto the sofa, you pull Carla on top of you. Alternating between rubbing and squeezing her ass, you grind your hips against her.
_____She pulls off her tee-shirt and her breast dangle teasingly over your face like ripe fruit. You flick your tongue over her nipples and then take the right one into your mouth completely. Slipping your hand down the front of her jeans, you realize she's not wearing any underwear. You dip your fingers in her wetness.
_____Carla pulls back, putting an abrupt end to the make out session. "Are you sure you want to do this? Cause once we do, I'll at least expect you to make eye contact at work."
_____She's right. After tonight you can't pretend nothing has happened. "At work, I'll treat you like everyone else. Outside of work, I'll treat you like a queen."
_____Carla looks deep into your eyes; her bullshit monitor at full blast. Satisfied that you are sincere, she takes your hand and leads you into the hallway. Turns out that the door you thought was a linen closet is the other bedroom.
_____A waft of incense greets you as you enter. The room is decorated in rich browns and beiges, right down to the tiger-stripped satin sheets. "Does this mean you are a wild cat in bed?"
_____Carla opens the curtains and is suddenly awash in a river moonlight. "I can be, but I don't bite . . . often." She begins unzipping your vest. "I want to feel you next to me."
_____Taking off the vest and draping it over a chair, you pull her into your arms. Skin on skin is wonderful. Your tongues curve, twist and glide over each other. On impulse your lips slowly travel down her body. You want to taste every inch of her.
_____Gently cradling your head in her hands, Carla plants hot, sultry kisses on your eyes, cheeks, and forehead. The few butterflies left in your stomach disappear when she begins sucking on an earlobe. Your thumbs massage her hardened nipples as you kiss and nibble at her breasts.
_____After unbuttoning her jeans, you use your teeth to pull the zipper down. Carla tries to help you, but you brush her hands away. Burying your face in her dark curly hairs, you deeply inhale her essence. Sliding the jeans down her healthy curves, your fingertips caress her inner thighs and calves. A kiss on the back of the knee is too intense and Carla breaks away from your embrace. She falls on the bed laughing. "You know how to sweep a girl off of her feet."
_____"That's just the tip of the iceberg." Standing up, you help her completely out of her pants.
_____"I know a trick or two myself," Carla responds. Taking a chocolate cherry by it's stem, she traces it along her thighs and lets it hover above her clit. "So, you've been day dreaming about taking my cherry? It's yours if you can catch it." The dangling fruit disappears into her pussy.
_____Shedding your clothes, you kneel before Carla. Pushing the stem to the side, you part her lips in search of the treasure. The sweetness of the cherry mingled with Carla's tangy, hot juices is intoxicating. Her hips begin moving and a moan escapes her lips. You alternate between sucking her clit and tongue-fucking her.
_____ Carla gently grabs your head and pulls you upward until you are fully on top of her. She kisses you, enjoying her taste on your lips. Legs intertwined, hips rocking, throbbing clits sliding against each other. Carla tilts her hips upwards and your clit slips past her slick lips and is at her threshold. You almost cum when her muscles begin to close around you; it feels like a hot moist mouth is stroking our clit and drawing you in. The two of you rock together in rhythm.
_____ More beautiful and fantastic than the sensations from below are Carla's eyes. Through moans, rapid breaths, and tears she doesn't take her eyes from yours. Her excitement turns you on more than her caress. Hip to hip, breast to breast, energy flowing back and forth--you've never felt so completely connected to another person. When Carla cries out in orgasmic joy, you feel something deep inside of you opening up. Something deeper than cumming.
_____On the verge of releasing yourself into her, you realize this is what you've wanted all along--not a fling with the past or a dalliance with a stranger, but a woman who could open up your heart.
