Sinful Read online

  “Girls, don’t worry, I’m not planning on falling in love with him or anything; but I can’t lie. He’s a lot more fun to date than I gave him credit for. We might have gotten started out on the wrong foot, but he apologized and we are trying to see where things can go with us.”

  “I knew it,” Tatum jumped in. “You’re trying to become something more with him. I’m going to give you the same piece of advice my mother gave me when I was young. When a guy shows you who he truly is, believe him. I don’t want you to get hurt. You usually don’t move this fast with a guy.”

  She loved that her friends cared so much about her, but she wasn’t getting blindsided by Jensen. She knew actually what she was doing. He was just a hot distraction for the moment, so she wouldn’t spend hours and hours at work without anything else to look forward to outside Sinful.

  “Guys, I swear to you that I see what is right in front of my face. Jensen isn’t pulling anything over on me. We are only having fun with each other. Are you telling me that you don’t want me to have an outside interest anymore?

  “You two were the ones who told me to jump his bones the first time you laid eyes on him.” She looked at Tatum and then over at Jazmaine who avoided giving her eye contact. She might not have been out on a date in a while, but she still knew the politics of the dance.

  “You’re right. We did, but you never listen to any of our advice half the time. Why did you do it now?” Jazmaine questioned. “Does it have to do with Jensen being so damn attractive?”

  Maymi wasn’t about to lose her mind over a handsome face and a killer body. Yet, something about the way Jensen treated her on their date was different. Almost like he could sense she was trying to be overly cautious, but he didn’t allow her to do it. He actually looked at her while listening to the words coming out of her mouth; it was a nice change from the way her life had been going.

  So, concern about Jensen hurting her early in their ‘relationship’ was nonsense and a waste of her time, not to mention theirs. For her life used to be about being adventurous and living in the moment. She wasn’t going to let one bad first encounter keep her from having a good time with Jensen for as long as the winding ride lasted.

  She shrugged. “I guess I was tired of pretending that I wasn’t lonely, because I was. There were only so many pies and cookies I could bake before I needed something more fulfilling.”

  “Oh, I bet Jensen can give you something very satisfying,” Tatum whispered. She glanced away from her over to Jensen who was staring at them from across the room.

  “Stop it,” Maymi hissed, hitting her best friend on the arm. “You are making him uncomfortable. I don’t want either one of you scaring him away. I’m actually having more fun with Jensen than I thought I would.”

  Spinning around, Tatum looked at her with concern. “Maymi, you know I love you. I just don’t want you to get hurt,” she said.

  “I won’t. I’m going into this with my eyes wide open, but I love the both of you for being so concerned about me. Now, how about make our visitors feel more welcome?”

  Tatum touched her on the arm. “Maymi, we didn’t mean to upset you talking about Jensen. We were only looking out for your well being. We love you and don’t want to regret anything by jumping into a new relationship.”

  “I promise you that I’m not ever going to give Jensen enough power to do anything to me,” Maymi insisted.

  “Alright, we believe you,” Jazmaine said, interrupting the conversation. “How about Tatum and I plate up the last of the food I saw in the kitchen. You go over there and talk to Jensen. I have to admit, he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you all night.”

  “Jazmaine is right. He’s been looking at you for a while,” Tatum agreed. “I have to admit good looks must run in that family because Casper is gorgeous.”

  “You do like Casper?” Maymi asked, surprised. “Jensen’s brother wasn’t the type of guy you ever noticed before. I mean I told Jensen to bring him hoping he might catch your eye, but I’m shocked he did.”

  Tatum shrugged. “I don’t know if I like him, but I can recognize that he’s extremely hot.”

  “God, let me get out of here before I hear anything else from the two of you,” Maymi said then spun around walking away from her friends. She had invited Jensen to the party and she hadn’t spent more than ten minutes talking to him which was going to change.

  Chapter Twenty-Eight

  “I’m glad your friends finally came around with me being here tonight,” Jensen said as Maymi closed the door behind Tatum and Jazmaine. “I thought for a minute I might have to leave because of the looks they were giving me.”

  Turning around, Maymi pressed her back against the front door. “Did they scare you?” she teased. “I mean apart, they can be tough, but together, they are a force like no other.”

  “No, I wasn’t scared of them,” he said, taking a step towards her. “Yet, I have to confess. I was worried what they might be filling your head with earlier about me. I mean did they make you think I was the Big Bad Wolf working his evil ways on you.”

  “Jensen, you should know something about me. I make my own decisions. I might ask for their advice, but in the end the choice is always mine. I’ve chosen to see where things are going between us but I’m doing it with my eyes wide open.”

  Moving a few more inches, Jensen placed his hand above her head on the door. He pressed his body against her as he stared into her eyes. “I’m glad you’re a woman who knows how to make her own decisions. So does that mean I passed your test?”

  “What test?”

  “You know what I’m talking about. You invited me for one specific reason. It was to see how well I could handle being around your girlfriends. I think I passed with flying colors.”

  “You did better than I thought you would,” Maymi admitted, placing her hand on his chest and giving him a shove away from her. “Casper even got to add another admirer to his little black book.”

  “I know,” Jensen answered, pulling her back to him.

  “What?”

  “Casper was looking at Tatum. He even mentioned that he thought she was pretty good-looking. I hope he knows what he’s doing with her. I doubt she’ll put up with his constant flirting with other women.”

  “How about we keep the focus on us and not them?” she suggested, moving around his body.

  “I like anytime I get to focus on you. I think it’s way past time that we discuss what is brewing between us. I don’t know how much longer I can fight it. Every time I get around you this invisible pull gets stronger and stronger.”

  “I’m not sure if I’m exactly following you.”

  “Maymi, you get what I’m telling you. Both of us have been fighting this since I stormed into Sinful,” Jensen said, taking a step towards her.

  “I don’t know what in the world you are talking about,” she lied. Maymi stepped away putting some useless distance between them. “I haven’t felt any kind of pull; it’s all in your head.”

  Jensen wondered how long Maymi was going to keep putting up this façade. “I never thought of you as a liar. We both know that you wanted to rip my clothes off the first time you saw me, and it has only gotten worse since our date.”

  He saw the hidden desire flare up in Maymi’s soft brown eyes. She was slowly changing him for the better. He didn’t stress about work as he used to before meeting her. He spent most of his time with her on his mind.

  Was she thinking about him as much as he thought about her? He never worried about her when they weren’t together, but Maymi brought out that side of him...

  “So what if we have this burning attraction to each other,” Maymi asked. “People have it all of the time with each other but never act on it.”

  Jensen paused in front of Maymi noticing how her breath caught in her throat the closer he got to her body. He wasn’t sure if it was out of nervousness or fear, but either way he was going to put her at ease. He brushed the back of his finger against her cheek l
oving the smoothness of her skin.

  “Honey, I’m not going to hurt you, but I want...need to make love to you. If you aren’t ready, I can wait until you are ready to trust me more. I don’t want to rush you into anything you might regret later.”

  “You aren’t rushing me,” she said, holding his eyes with hers. “I want to make love to you, too.”

  His cock grew hard against the front of his jeans at the idea of being inside of Maymi’s wet, tight pussy. It had been months since a woman shared his bed and he was beyond ready to be with her.

  He ran the pad of his index finger along her bottom lips. “I can’t believe I didn’t notice how stunning you were the first time I laid eyes on you; however, I promise to cherish every inch of your body before the night is over. I’ll be gentle so it will be a night for both of us to remember. Baby, where is your bedroom?” Jensen asked her.

  “It’s down the hallway and the first door on the left.”

  Sweeping Maymi up into his arms, Jensen spun on his heel carrying her down the hallway to his bedroom. He walked her over the threshold and over to the bed gently laying her down in the middle. He stood back up taking in how good Maymi looked. The dark caramel of her beautiful skin looked breathtaking against the white sheets.

  It was a sight he wouldn’t mind seeing again and again if he had anything to do about it. Tonight was turning into something special for him, not just a one night stand. He was beginning to feel the stirring of something for Maymi and he wasn’t ready to let her go until he worked through whatever it was.

  “This is your last chance to tell me to get the hell away from you. I don’t know how much self-control I will have once I see you totally naked. A man can only take so much temptation before he loses it.”

  “Has anyone ever told you that you talk too much, Mr. Lowe?” Maymi asked, leaning back on her elbows making her thick, black hair swing behind her.

  “Sorry, baby.” Jensen apologized. “Let me see if I can make it up to you.”

  Reaching for Maymi’s leg, he pulled her body towards the end of the bed; then he slowly unzipped her boot, removed it and then tossed it over to the side followed by the second one minutes later. He stopped to stare at her firecracker red nail polish. He loved when a woman painted her toenails. In his opinion, it was one of the sexiest things she could do to her body.

  “Undo your pants, so I can pull them off of you,” Jensen demanded in a low voice. He watched as Maymi quickly unbuttoned her jeans, then slid them over her womanly hips.

  Grabbing the hem of her blue jeans, he gradually pulled them down her toned legs and off her curvy body. For a few seconds he stopped doing anything else and stared at her sexy black skimpy underwear with a black and white bow at the top.

  They were made to drive any red-bloodied man out of his mind. It was definitely working on him. If he had known this was under her clothing all evening, he would have found a way to get rid of everyone else sooner. He didn’t care if they were at Maymi’s house.

  Over the years, he believed the thinner the woman—the more he wanted her. Yet, seeing all of Maymi’s womanly assets tonight made him realize what a fool he had been by missing out on something so beautiful and real.

  “Take off your top. I want to see your breasts.”

  Night after night, he had lain awake alone in this bed dreaming about how she would look lying here next to him. Now it was time to see if his dreams lived up to his hot fantasies.

  Moving around on the mattress until she was kneeling in front of him, Maymi looked at him and then glanced away as her fingers reached for the first button on her shirt.

  “Don’t you dare look away from me,” he reminded her. “I want to watch your eyes as you get undressed for me, so I can see every single emotion you’re feeling.”

  Nodding her head, she slowly undid one button, and then another one until her matching black bra was revealed. He stared at her luscious breasts as they almost spilled out of the lacy garment with every breath she took. It was barely enough fabric to cover her plump breasts.

  Moving closer to the bed, Jensen reached out and tugged at the front clasp of the bra with his fingers. He growled in the back of his throat as her breasts fell free. He cupped the beautiful brown treats in his hands brushing his thumbs over her swollen nipples.

  “Oh,” she moaned. “That feels so good. It’s been such a long time since I’ve gotten touched like this.”

  Jensen watched as Maymi tossed her head back causing her hair to spill over her shoulders. Leaning over her, he brushed a kiss along her neck listening with masculine pride as a soft moan of ecstasy escaped from her full, firm lips.

  He couldn’t help but smile against her skin; it had been a long time since a woman made him feel this good before actually making love to her. He pulled the remaining clothes off her body until Maymi was only left in her enticing underwear.

  “Baby, why has it been such a long time for you?” he asked against her ear.

  “Work. I’ve been trying to build my business more,” she answered, running her fingers through his hair as his hands skimmed down her back and cupped her perfect, full ass.

  “Well, tonight is going to involve something more pleasurable than any kind of sweets you can think of.”

  Lowering her back down to the bed, Jensen kissed his way down her perfect neck, over her creamy shoulders until his mouth paused at her swollen nipples. He blew on the right one until Maymi’s sweet body bucked underneath his.

  He ran his tongue over the tip before drawing the delectable treat into his mouth. Jensen decided right at that moment, she tasted better than any sweets at her bakery. He continued sucking, and nibbling until she began brushing her underwear covered pussy against the hard bulge in his jeans.

  “Jensen, stop. I can’t take it. I need you.”

  After a few more teasing nibbles, he let go of Maymi’s nipple and planted a kiss between her breasts. Sliding his hand between their bodies, he grabbed her underwear and tore them from her body.

  Without giving her time to react, Jensen slipped two fingers inside of her wet pussy, pumping in and out. The only sounds filling his bedroom was the noise of Maymi’s moans along with the wet sounds of his fingers as they made love to her. He lowered his head back down to the other breast and sucked it back into his mouth, rolling the nipple with his tongue before biting down gently.

  Maymi thrashed against him as her hands pulled at the sheets underneath her body. He continued sucking her breasts as his fingers pumped in and out of her welcoming heat. If she felt this good around his fingers, he might lose his mind once she was wrapped around his dick.

  “Jensen, I’m so close,” she panted, staring at him. The feverish look in her dark, brown eyes made him kick it up another notch.

  Using his free hand, he spread her legs even further apart so he could give it to her better than he already was. Jensen wanted Maymi coming apart in his arms and in her bed. Nothing else mattered but showing Maymi how much he wanted her tonight and every other night after this.

  “Let go, sweetheart. Show me how good I’m making you feel,” Jensen encouraged.

  He continued pumping his fingers in a little deeper so they brushed over her clit and minutes later, Maymi broke as her orgasm ripped through her body. He had to taste her...it was eating at him to have her on his tongue.

  Jensen removed his fingers and slid down her body covering her pussy with his mouth licking at her cream as it poured from her pussy. He’d never sampled anything so... Shit, he didn’t even have the words to describe it, but all he knew was he was going to take all she had to offer him and then some more when the right time came.

  He heard Maymi scream again as a second orgasm started taking over. He licked all of the juices from her pussy until her body slowly calmed down. He gave her one final, long lick then kissed his way up her body until his mouth was pressed against her ear.

  “Are you ready for me now?” Jensen whispered in a low voice. “Because I have plans to ke
ep you in this bed for the rest of the night and way into the morning since I’m not ready to let you go yet.”

  Chapter Twenty-Nine

  Maymi had a very clear understanding of exactly what Jensen meant and she wasn’t about to tell him no...not tonight when her body needed him so badly. She hadn’t made love in a while, so she was more than ready to be with Jensen on a more intimate level..

  “Yes, I’m ready for anything you want to give me,” she answered, staring up at Jensen who was still completely clothed. “I know it will be better than anything I’ve ever experience before.”

  Excitement rushed through Maymi’s body until she finally focused and took in Jensen’s appearance. Why wasn’t he as naked as she was? He was so gorgeous which meant he shouldn’t have any clothes on. She still couldn’t believe she was here with him like this. She’d never expected this to happen when she invited him over here tonight for Jazmaine’s party.

  Just looking at him made her mouth water and her pussy ache because he was the most perfect man she had ever laid eyes one. She wanted to see more of Jensen and the sad thing was he knew it too but he was making her wait. She wasn’t embarrassed by her need to see him naked. She wouldn’t even consider it as begging, but getting what she wanted. He probably wanted her to beg to see his body.

  “How much longer are you going to keep those clothes on?” she asked, sitting up on the bed. Maymi eased closer to the edge and reached for the first button on his shirt, but he brushed her hand away.

  “What,” she asked.

  “Baby, if you touch me. I won’t make it. I’m already wired too tightly as it is. I can’t have you taking my clothes off or I’ll lose control. I’ll let you do it at another time,” he told her. “I promise you.”

  Stepping away from her, Jensen’s long fingers worked on the buttons on his white shirt then slid the fabric off his shoulders tossing it to the side. Next, he pulled off his cowboys boots and pitched them away from the bed.
