Chapter 41
“You all right?”
After an hour or so of almost flawless driving, Johnnie asked Lucas if he wanted see her house. Johnnie only stalled once on the way to Ashland Estates, but she was getting better as they drove, clutching and shifting all the way, feeling for the first time in a while like the teenager she was. She turned onto Imagination Drive then into her driveway. She stopped the car and kept the engine running while Lucas opened the garage door.
He twisted the handle and heard the metal on the inside slide over and lock into place. Then he raised the door and got out of the way. Lucas closed the garage door after Johnnie drove the car in, and they went into the house.
“Would you like something to drink?” Johnnie asked as they walked into the kitchen.
“Yeah, what do you have?”
She opened the refrigerator and looked inside. “I’ve got Coke, water, and orange juice. You know what? I think I should invest in one of the Florida orange companies. I think I will.”
“I’ll have a Coke,” he said ruefully.
Sensing something was bothering him, Johnnie said, “What’s wrong, Lucas? Didn’t you have fun today?”
“Yeah, Johnnie,” he said, still somber. “But it bothers me that you paid for everything. You’ve got this big house in this rich neighborhood. You got all these stocks and money. I ain’t even got two nickels to rub together.”
Seeing the disappoinment in his eyes and wanting to reassure him, she took his hand into hers and kissed it. “Lucas, when you put your trust in me that day at the school park, I told you then I would be your girl, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did, but it don’t make me feel like a man when you got money and I don’t.”
“You wanna buy me things like the rose you gave me today. I understand. But if it bothers you that much, maybe you should get a job after school. You graduate in June anyway. You gotta get a job sometime.”
Lucas bowed his head when she mentioned the stolen rose. He thought since they were on the subject, he might as well ’fess up. “Listen, Johnnie. You know that rose I gave you?”
“Yes.”
“I stole it.”
“What?” she said, a little shocked. “Lucas, you didn’t have to do that.”
“That’s just it, Johnnie. I feel like I do. Here you are livin’ high on the hog in this big beautiful house. You got money, a house, and a car—everything. What do I have to offer you? Nothin’, that’s what. I’m thinkin’ if I don’t do something, you ain’t gon’ wanna be with me.”
“Lucas, don’t you realize you’re the only person in my life that cares for me—the real me? I need you, Lucas. Please don’t be ashamed. I’ve decided that you’re who I want and no one else. As far as I’m concerned, I’m yours as long as you want me.”
“For real?”
“For real,” Johnnie assured him and stretched her neck up to kiss him.
They embraced each other as their desire increased. Little by little, the kiss became deeper until finally, their sexual urges took over. Out of control, they pulled and tugged at each other’s clothes. Lucas opened her blouse and unhooked her black bra. He lifted the cups and took her silver dollar-sized nipples into his hungry mouth. A sigh found its way out of her open mouth as her neck relaxed and fell backward. The taste of her nipple made him bite down ever so gently, yet with ravenous yearning.
Johnnie’s sighs were coming at regular intervals. She had never felt anything like what she was feeling now, not even in her lust-filled fantasies about him. Johnnie took his face into her soft hands and licked his lips. She could feel his powerful erection against her pelvis. He pulled her even closer with a crushing, passionate embrace that made her feel safe. Suddenly, she pulled away.
“What’s wrong?” Lucas said desperately.
“Let’s go upstairs.”
Lucas wanted her right there, but he agreed and they left the kitchen. Before they could get upstairs, he turned her around and kissed her deeply again.
Johnnie knew he would take her soon, but she wanted to get in the bed. She pulled away and ran upstairs, knowing he’d come after her. She laughed when she heard him run behind her.
They rushed up the stairs, their lust ever growing. Johnnie ducked into the bedroom and let him catch her. She pulled off Lucas’ T-shirt then finished removing her blouse and bra. When he saw her breasts, the blood flow to his member increased.
Lucas was powerfully built with thick, muscled biceps, a deep chest and a rippling abdomen. When he took off his pants, his hard rod bulged outward. They watched each other pull off their underwear, admiring each other’s bodies.
Johnnie’s eyes dropped to his throbbing rod. It was long and thick. Just looking at it made her want him inside her even more. She was extremely wet now. “I have something for you,” Johnnie said, breaking the silence.
“What?”
“A prophylactic.”
“A what?”
“You know. A condom. A rubber.”
“Oh, okay.”
She went over to the nightstand and pulled one out. After handing it to him, she slid into bed and waited for him.
Lucas opened the condom, slid it down as far as he could, and got in bed, climbing on top of her. He looked at the headboard and saw the winged angels blowing their trumpets. He moved his thick member around until he found her opening and pushed himself in. She was still tight to him, even being as wet as she was. He pushed forward. Her moan was soft but sounded a little pained.
“You all right?” he asked, concerned about her comfort.
“Yes,” she said.
He gently pushed forward a little more, not wanting to cause any more pain.
Johnnie clenched her teeth as he went further and deeper inside. Right away, she began to compare the only two men she had ever known. Lucas was much bigger, she thought.
Finally, he was in as far as he could go, and with each stroke, the pain subsided more and more until she felt pleasure. She began to moan, softly at first, then louder and much more uncontrolled. The exquisite pleasure overwhelmed her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and met each of his thrusts with her own. Her hips were so strong that when she pumped, she was almost lifting them both off the bed.
Johnnie felt herself reaching an orgasm and kept the same furious pace until she exploded violently. She could feel Lucas’ heart pounding through his chest. His thrusts continued at a feverish pace. Johnnie kept pace with him until finally, he too exploded violently. As his breathing returned to normal, she urged him to get up and take the rubber off.
Lucas went into the adjacent bathroom and flushed the condom down the toilet. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled triumphantly. He had made love with Johnnie and it was great. But his sexual thirst hadn’t been quenched, so he went back into the bedroom and grabbed another condom.
