Chapter 48
“No, but hurry up.”
“Lucas, I know you’re mad, but please don’t be,” Johnnie said, leaning against the counter, watching for any reaction that would tell her where they stood and what approach to take next.
Lucas sat quietly, thinking about the situation he was in. He loved her—that much he knew. He also knew he couldn’t put up with her and Earl’s relationship.
Johnnie could see the resignation in his eyes. She could tell he wanted out, but he was reluctant to say the words.
“Johnnie, I can’t deal with this,” Lucas said in a voice saturated with remorse. “After the funeral, we gon’ part company.”
“Don’t leave me, Lucas,” Johnnie said desperately.
“I have to. I can’t take this.”
When Johnnie burst into tears and covered her face with her hands, Lucas felt like someone had ripped his heart out. He wanted to be hard and walk out, but love made him go to her and put his arms around her. He kissed her forehead.
“Its gon’ be all right,” he said softly.
“Lucas, I don’t know what I’d do without you. Please don’t leave me.”
“What self-respectin’ man would put up with this?”
“One that loved a woman with everything within him,” Johnnie said, crying into his sweat-stained shirt. “One that loved a woman enough to sacrifice his pride. A real man, Lucas. I thought you were a real man, my real man. I love you, Lucas. Do you love me?”
“Yes,” he said, looking into her brown eyes, seeing the sincere love in them.
Johnnie immediately turned to the one thing she was good at; the one thing that men always wanted from her; the one aspect of her life that gave her power over men—sex. “I want you inside me,” Johnnie said.
“Right now?” he asked, surprised that she wanted to do it suddenly. He knew what she was doing, but he wasn’t about to turn down great sex just because he was upset with her.
“Yes,” she panted.
Johnnie felt his hard penis pressing against her when she kissed him. Unzipping his pants, she reached inside and massaged him through his underwear. Lucas quickly unbuttoned her blouse, unsnapped her bra and took her nipple into his mouth. The warm sensation caused her to moan. Johnnie, who was still leaning against the counter, relaxed her neck and let her head fall backward until it rested against a cabinet door.
Lucas continued sucking and nibbling on her sensitive, erect nipples. His hand found its way up her dress and into her panties. He heard an erotic sigh escaped her open mouth. While his finger massaged her, he grabbed the back of her head and kissed her, pressing hard with both lips.
“You wanna go upstairs?” he asked.
“No, let’s go into the living room.”
Lucas practically dragged Johnnie into the living room, consumed by an unbridled fire that needed to be extinguished immediately. He quickly kicked off his pants and finished removing his underwear, which was almost off. He climbed over her, positioning his long, thick, throbbing rod to enter the inferno that could only be doused with orgasmic release. Finding the entrance, he began the long slide upward until she had all of him.
Lucas pulled out of her and whispered, “Turn around.”
“What?” Johnnie asked, looking into his face.
“Turn around; I want to go in backward.”
“You mean you want me to sit on you?”
“Yeah, let’s try that.”
Obediently, she stood up, turned around, and eased down gingerly. The penetration felt even deeper and it hurt. She tried to take the pain for his sake, but she felt like he was going to blast through her uterus.
“Lucas, I can’t take it like this. We gotta stop.”
“Okay,” he said. “How about if we stand and do it like this? It might be easier.”
“Okay,” she said, standing up again. “Now how do you want me?”
“On your knees.”
“On my knees?”
Believing it would please him, she did as he asked.
He entered her like that. “It don’t hurt, do it?” Lucas asked.
“No, but hurry up. I gotta pick up my brother and sister-in-law.”
As he moved in and out of her, Johnnie wondered where he learned this position and if there would be more positions like this in the future. Soon, she felt herself on the verge of an orgasm again.
