“Bullshit. You knew it and used it to your advantage. I wasn’t born yesterday darling.” Tanesha snorted. “I tried to fight it but…your touch was killing me.” She shuddered, remembering how good it had felt having Ty’s hands on her whilst she remained helpless. It had been an exhilarating experience.
“If it’s any consolation, that’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life…letting you go. I wanted to fuck you so bad I was shaking.” Ty groaned, leaning down to lick at a corner of Tanesha’s mouth.
Tanesha couldn’t hold in her lustful moan. “Thank you for not going through with it,” Tanesha murmured against his lip. “I would have been devastated afterward. Not to mention humiliated.” She twisted her head to look out with a slight frown on her face. “I’d love to get into that pool but…” Ty’s fence wall looked very high but still…one couldn’t be too careful.
“Let’s.” Ty stepped back and began to take off his boots, clothes, and watch, leaving on his boxer briefs. And looking at his body, Tanesha totally forgot about the fact that they could be seen from outside. Ty then proceeded to take off her accessories and dress. Her eyes however widened when Ty unhooked her bra. “Relax. No one is watching.” Her half-hearted protests died on her lips when he bent down to suck tenderly on each nipple till both hardened into peaks.
“Ty…” Her head was thrown back in such utter bliss she didn’t even protest when he went down on his knees in front of her and pulled off her panties.
Ty leaned forward and dropped a kiss on Tanesha’s shaved mound before getting to his feet. “You have one hell of a sexy body, woman.” He murmured huskily.
“You’re a fine one to talk Sir.” She murmured, going up on her toes to kiss Ty lightly on the mouth. “But why do you get to keep your boxers?” She asked as her hands slipped inside Ty’s boxer briefs to caress his butt.
“Hey cut that out.” He groaned, taking Tanesha’s hand and drawing her towards the pool. “I promised your parents okay?”
“That?”
“That we were going to talk tonight and nothing more.”
“Seriously? It’s not like they’ll even believe you.” Tanesha looked incredulous. “I mean it will be a cold day in hell before my mother would believe I’d sleepover and not have sex with you.”
“Well, they not believing doesn’t mean I shouldn’t keep my word,” Ty said as they slipped into the pool.
“Hmmm…lovely.” Tanesha moaned, loving the feel of the water on her body. “So you actually plan on keeping that silly promise?” She purred, playfully batting her lashes at Ty.
“I sure do.” Though Ty looked amused, the heat and hunger in his eyes couldn’t be masked.
“We’ll see about that,” Tanesha said just as she disappeared into the water, leaving Ty to groan in frustration.
They swam for about thirty minutes before relaxing on the steps, with Tanesha’s back against Ty’s front. They sat in a comfortable silence, with Ty playing with Tanesha’s hair. He’d missed doing that. After a while, he began telling her about his meeting with her father. By the time he was done, she was laughing so hard.
“Your mother is something else.” Ty chuckled, remembering Dora’s silly appeal for him to go easy on Tanesha.
“You haven’t seen the half of it.” Tanesha laughed. “I remember going on a trip with her some years back to…I don’t exactly remember where we were traveling to. But at the airport, she was asked to strip. My dear mother gave a sweet smile, and went like… ‘Want me to strip? Gotta give me some music.'” Tanesha had to pause as Ty was howling with laughter. “Wait, wait, it gets better. When she saw the shocked faces of the officials, she quickly got serious and added… ‘You might as well throw in a pole whilst you’re at it. You see, when I drop it hot like that, I’m gonna need me a pole to get back up.'”
At that point, Ty was laughing so hard his sides hurt. “Oh my God, are you serious?”
“I was right there.” Tanesha laughed. “You should have seen the faces of the two ladies to whom she’d said that. After the initial shock, they both burst into raucous laughter. In fact, they laughed so hard their supervisor heard and came to check what the problem was. They told him they were done searching my mother. She’s three gallons of crazy in a two-gallon bucket.”
“Fuck, that’s a good one.” Ty panted. “Oh my God, I don’t remember the last time I had such a good laugh. Come on, let’s go up.” Ty said getting up.
He picked up Tanesha’s stuff and turned towards the stairs which looked like it had been made from glass too. Tanesha turned to look at Ty questionably, drawing a chuckle from him.
“It’s tiles.” And at the comically incredulous look in her eyes, he burst into laughter. “You have the most expressive eyes darling. “You sure you can lie in court?”
“Lawyers don’t lie.” Tanesha laughed.
“Yeah. And pigs actually fly.” Ty retorted, earning himself a slap on the arm.
In his room, they took a quick shower and then got into bed, with a boxer-clad Ty spooning behind a very naked Tanesha. “You sure you don’t have blinds or something?” Tanesha whimpered.
Without a word, Ty opened his bedside drawer and took out a device, drawing Tanesha’s eyes to the framed photo of herself on the bedside table on Ty’s side. And even as a choked sound tore out of her throat, Ty proceeded to activate his automatic blinds.
“Better?”
But Tanesha didn’t answer him. She stared openmouthed at the picture. She recognized Ty’s bed on the Island. She was fast asleep in the bed but the picture was so beautiful it looked as though she was actually posing.
“You Asshole,” Tanesha whispered. “You even had a picture of me whilst I had nothing…whilst I thought the worst. Do you have any idea…”
