Later that evening Connie was watching a show about a serial killer when her phone rang. She wondered who could be calling her at this time of night. "Hello."
"Did you like the flowers?"
Connie pushed the stop button on the remote and curled her feet under her secretly glad Thomas called. "The flowers were beautiful. I just don't understand your motivation for sending them."
Thomas fell back on the bed in his hotel room and loosened his tie. "Well I would have brought them to you in person, but I'll be out of town for two weeks."
Connie was disappointed, two weeks without Thomas popping up unexpectedly. "Wow that's a long time to be away on business."
Thomas grinned; he could hear the disappointment in her voice. Good. This was a part of his plan to make her realize that she wanted him in her life. "Believe me Constantina I'm working hard so I can get home and resume my courting campaign."
Connie could not contain her laughter. "You just don't give up do you? I thought I told you on Saturday not to waste your time."
"I'm going to call your bluff. If you can make love with me and walk away I dare you to try."
"I believe I said, if we had sex, that's all it will be. What makes you so remarkable?"
"Constantina, when I'm with a woman I give her my full attention. I'm not satisfied unless my lover is satisfied too. You need a man like me in your life. Take me on for size and I'll show you what you've been missing."
Connie's imagination was rearing its ugly head. She could hear Thomas whispering the words of seduction in her ear as he stroked every inch of her body. Then she remembered why that wasn't a good idea and came to her senses. "Better men than you have tried and failed."
Thomas laughed; he didn't expect Constantina to go down without a fight. Which was good for him, he liked a challenge. "Yeah I got a secret weapon that the other men in your life don't have."
"Really! What do you have that I can't get from any other man in Omaha?"
"I have the upper hand because you want me. There's no way you could kiss another man the way you kissed me on last Saturday. If I had been a little quicker, I would have taken you in the back seat of my SUV. I'll bide my time because I believe our first time together will be exceptional. When we make love, I want to feel your hot little body responding to me in a bed. I'm going to touch every inch of your body, and you'll scream my name for more."
Connie began fanning herself. "You must feed that ego of yours several pounds of meat a day."
"I'm a meat eater as you'll find out. Good night Constantina. Dream about me because I'm sure as hell going to dream of you."
Before Connie could respond, Thomas had already hung up. She was in big trouble. Thomas wasn't going to go away. Too bad, she couldn't just let him catch her. Connie couldn't imagine explaining her intimacy issues to any man, especially a sensual man like Thomas.

Connie was amazed by all the foot traffic in her office today. Those who expected a nominal amount on their income tax returns filed as soon as possible. Those who owed waited until the last possible moment. She left her office later than usual accommodating a couple who arrived at her door ten minutes to five. At least they had all their paperwork; she was able to fill out and file their return today.
Now here she was running late with less than an hour to make it on time to the foundation's Valentine's Day dance. To her disappointment, Thomas was still out of town. His two week business trip ended up being closer to a month. She spoke with him often enough, but she missed him; she would give a lot to be his valentine. She took a quick shower and washed her hair. Her dress and matching lingerie set were already draped across the bed.
Connie hopped out of the shower put a little hair mousse on her hair and blow-dried her hair, while brushing it back into style. One thing about a great haircut, it always falls back into place. She slathered Carol's Daughter's body butter all over, from her neck down to her toes.
The dress Sam picked out for her was a strapless tiered dress the color of champagne with a matching shawl. She even included a lacy cream colored bra and thong set with a pair of silk thighhighs. Candy red Whistle Pump shoes completed her attire.
She quickly donned her bra, thong, and silk thighhighs before rushing back into the bathroom to complete her makeup. She applied bronze and copper eye shadow to make her blues eyes pop, with a touch of eyeliner in the corner to achieve the smoky look. A little dab of mascara and a swab of strawberry gloss for her lips. She finished off her grand appearance with her momma's ruby and diamond earrings and a gold cocktail ring.
She grabbed her studded clutch and pulled her black hooded cloak out of the closet. She was ready for an evening full of excitement and dancing. She was determined to raise a pot full of money for the Cabbage Patch Foundation tonight. Connie and Laura double dated with Laura's lovers at last year's dance. Donald and Lawrence Hughes turned out to be fascinating dates. Connie tried not to judge Laura's lifestyle because of her background, but it was obvious to everyone including Laura that the brothers were besotted with her.
The Hughes brothers wouldn't attend tonight. They were still mourning Laura, but they honored her memory by sending a $250,000 check for the cause. She heard rumors that they put up a million dollar reward for any information regarding Laura's murder. She didn't know if anyone ever collected, all she knew is that she missed her friend.

The Valentine's Day dance was a huge success. Hundreds of people milled around the ballroom networking and socializing with acquaintances before dinner was served. Connie wasn't surprised at the turnout; the Valentine's Day dance was the most popular fundraiser even at $1000 per person. She figured it was a cheap way for rich people to celebrate the holiday.
This year she and her organizers decided on a new venue with a better menu. Prime rib instead of rubbery chicken, they even planned a vegan meal for the vegetarians in the audience. Connie got up and gave her speech; thanking everyone in attendance for their support. She also used this opportunity to share the progress of the foundation. People liked knowing that the money they donate to a worthy cause is actually paying off.
Connie knew the precise moment Thomas walked into the ballroom. A chill ran over her body causing the fine hairs on her neck to rise. She had trouble swallowing as she struggled through the rest of her speech. She hadn't seen him yet but felt the intensity of his gaze boring a whole inside her chest. Was it fear or was it excitement? She gave a toast, lifting her glass of champagne to the attendees, wishing them joy and a pleasant evening.
Shortly after her speech, the dancing commenced. Samantha's dress selection was on point, she was correct in thinking that a majority of the women would be sporting red. . Connie's gown was unique and stood out in the sea of red. She had danced three times before Thomas grabbed her hand whisking her off onto the dance floor. "I didn't expect to see you tonight."
"Where else would I be on Valentine's Day, than with my valentine?" Thomas pulled her closer until their faces were only inches apart. "By the way nice speech. I think your foundation took in a pretty penny tonight."
Connie leaned even closer, letting the full weight of her body rest against him. Her three inch heels almost made them even in height; her cheek touched his as Thomas pulled her yet closer again until she felt the warmth of his ever growing erection. "I've missed you Thomas."
"I'm glad. That means my grand scheme to make you long for me has worked." He held her tightly in his arms savoring the feel of her body against his. "I want you badly Constantina. Come take a walk with me."
As the dance ended, Connie allowed Thomas to lead her from the ballroom. At that moment, a cameraman from one of the local newspapers took a picture of them. Connie cringed at the thought of the picture being in the newspaper, the last thing she wanted is to be tagged as Thomas Galvin's new plaything.
Thomas knew the layout of the Carruther's Center well; he escorted Constantina into the music hall far away from the festivities in the ballroom. He locked the door behind him and pulled her into his arms kissing her with all the passion residing in his body.
Connie responded in kind, opened her mouth allowing herself to enjoy his kiss and domination. It didn't stop with a kiss. Thomas clutched her ample behind, pulling her closer to his raging hard-on. Not even as a wayward teenage had she felt so sexually charged. She unbuckled his pants felt the tip of his heat brush against her hands.
"Not now Constantina." Thomas whispered against her lips. He pressed her against the wall and got on his knees lifting up her dress. "Hold this; I've got a special gift for my valentine."
Connie held her dress above her waist as Thomas toured her body with his hands and lips. She never got into oral sex; most of the men tried but could never get her off because of her condition. "Thomas I know what you're trying to do, but I have to explain...
Thomas heard the anxiety in her voice and stood back up clasping her face. "What's wrong baby, what do you have to explain?"
Connie twisted out of his grasp and began pacing the floor. The last thing she wanted to do on Valentine's Day is explain her inability to achieve an orgasm. Well at least she never had with any of her lovers. "Thomas when I was a child I got caught in a fire, the lower half of my body sustained second degree burns. I didn't realize until I was an adult that I lost some sensation in my sexual organs. I know what you were about to do, and I don't want to disappoint you."
"Constantina calm down, are you telling me that you've never experienced an orgasm?"
Connie's face flushed with embarrassment; she stood in the middle of the room feeling like a freak. This is the main reason why she tried to stay away from Thomas. She felt stupid and inadequate standing in front of this man who exuded sex. "Only at my own hand, because I took the time to bring about my release. The men I've been with never knew about my condition. Why didn't you listen to me when I told you this wouldn't work?"
Thomas made up his mind that his beautiful Constantina wasn't going to leave this room without an orgasm from his hand. His arm circled her waist as he steered her to the baby grand piano. He unhinged the top board prop of the piano. He sat Constantina on the top board and retrieved the piano bench sitting it in front of her legs.
Connie finally came to her senses, "Thomas I think we should go back to the ballroom."
"We're not leaving this room until I show you what it feels like to be my woman." He sat on the bench between her legs and draped them over his shoulders. He rubbed her legs loving the feel of the silk thighhighs. He kissed her inner thighs before swiftly removing her thong.
"Thomas..."
"Lay back and enjoy this Constantina, you'll find that I'm a man of my word." He pocketed her thong and peeled spread her labia. Thomas took his time licking her wetness with the flat side of his tongue. He heard the catch in Constantina's voice, but he hadn't the heard the sound that said he was successful in pleasing her.
Connie felt his tongue glide over her nether lips, but just like before she only felt the pressure. "Thomas maybe we should just forget about this."
Thomas refused to stop he wrapped his tongue around her clit and moved his fingers deep inside her trying to gauge her reaction to his probe. He was beginning to get somewhere when her legs began to bump against his shoulders.
His probes became deeper and rougher, and he sucked her clit showing no mercy until he heard Constantina scream his name. Her hips began rocking against his hand as he continued rotate his hand and the manipulation of her clit. Eventually, she came with her thighs press hard against his head.
"Thomas! O my goodness I didn't think I could feel that."
Thomas licked up all of her essence and took his handkerchief to wipe up any additional moisture. He stood up and helped her down from the top board of the piano. He grabbed her face and kissed her thoroughly. "Invite me to you home Constantina. I want to finish what I started in this room."
Connie was still in a daze, she couldn't believe she just had the most bomb diggity of all orgasms in the music room at the Carruther's Center during the Valentine's Day dance. "Yes Thomas, come home with me." She straightened out her dress and fingered her hair back into place. She held out her hand expectantly, and Thomas ignored her.
"Your panties are mine; they're my prize for all the trials you put me through."
Connie smiled at first, but her smile quickly turned into a frown when she sensed that he was serious. "Thomas I'm not leaving this room without my panties."
Thomas grinned, enjoying Constantina's discomfort as he headed towards the door. "Suit yourself."
"Thomas I'll make it worth your while. I have a whole dresser full of sex toys that I'm dying to use with you, on you."
Thomas took the thongs out of his pocket and kneeled down helping her pull up the thong panties. He couldn't help himself his kissed his way up her legs before he let her dress drop back into place. "You are such a tease." He clasped her hand and kissed her once again before leaving the room. "How much longer do you have to stay?"
"Oh for about another hour or so. It shows bad taste for the hostess to leave the party while it's still in full swing."
"I'll give you one hour before I carry you out of here. I don't care if the party is still in full swing or not."
***
Connie and Thomas left the music hall, they shared a few more dances together before she circulated the ballroom, thanking donors for coming and supporting the foundation. When Connie left the party, it was well after midnight. She caught Thomas's eye she nodded to him that she was leaving.
She made it to her home twenty minutes later; she barely got her coat off when she heard the knock at the front door. She opened the door for Thomas letting him into her home. "Welcome to my home Thomas."
Thomas shrugged out of his tuxedo jacket and draped it across one of the chairs in the living room. "Take me to your bed Constantina, let me know that you want me the way I want you."
Connie turned out the lights in the living room as she led Thomas back to her bedroom. Thomas wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing the back of her neck as he bumped her towards the bed. He deliberately pressed his erection into her backside, willing her to feel his desire for her.
He moved around her body, sat on the bed loosening his tie and shirt throwing them both aside. Her mouth went dry at the sight of his broad shoulders and smooth chest. "Thomas..."
"Yes baby I'm here." She held her breath as he began to undress her. She stood there letting him have free reign over her body. Her shawl and dress quickly hit the floor leaving only her bra, thong, and silk thighhighs. The diamond stud in her belly button mesmerized Thomas. With hands on her hips, Thomas lowered his mouth onto her stomach, flicking his tongue over the diamond and her belly button.
Connie's stomach concaved under Thomas's lavish attention to her belly button. She ran her hands through his short dark hair, encouraging his strokes. "Thomas I need to see the rest of you."
Thomas gave her stomach one last lick before standing and removing his pants. "Tell me what you want."
Connie was on fire for Thomas, he was touching her breasts making her nipples pebble as he rubbed the lacy bra against her. "I want to taste you." She stuck her hands in his jockeys, lowering them until his penis sprung out. She wasn't surprised to see that his cock was impressive as the rest of him, especially in length and girth.
She got on her knees taking the head of his thick length deep into her mouth. He tasted tangy and salty with a little bit of man thrown in. Thomas put his hands on her head as he guided his cock into her mouth. The pressure from her mouth triggered his orgasm.
Thomas pulled out of her mouth and sat back down on the bed. He toed off his shoes, removing his pants, socks, and underwear onto a heap on the floor. He pulled her up off the floor in between his legs, taking his time treasuring her body with his lips, tongue, and hands. "I need to see all of you. Don't ever hide your body from me.
Never in her life had Connie been so in tune with one of her lovers. She got tired of Thomas manipulating her nipples with her lacy bra; she removed the irritating piece of lace offering her breasts to his mouth. He didn't disappoint her, he took turns sucking and nibbling on each breast giving them equal consideration.
Thomas couldn't get enough of Constantina. She was in all her glory with a thong, thighhighs and shoes. "Take off your shoes and thong, leave the thighhighs, they're turning me on. He propped her up as she kicked off her shoes. She kept eye contact with him as she smoothed the thong from her body and dropped them with the rest of her clothes on the floor.
Connie seemed to be in a trance Thomas is such a man. She watched him as he grabbed his pants, grabbing a handful of condoms. "That's a little optimistic of you isn't it?"
"What is a man without hope? I was hoping like hell that this is how the night would end." He ripped one of the condom open offering it to her to put it on him.
Connie didn't hesitate; she rolled the condom up his hard length in anticipation of riding him. "Take me Thomas don't make me wait any longer."
"No baby, I want you to take me. I'll be damned if this will be just sex. You will feel me when I get deep inside you, deeper than any other man."
Connie climbed on his lap, grabbing hold of his shoulders, and lowered herself onto his stiff erection. She felt him more than previous lovers strictly because of his girth. Just like before, at first she only felt pressure. Thomas was watching her gauging her reaction, he put his hands on her hips and began moving with her. He took his time moving inside her, and then he tilted her in such a way that she felt herself spiraling out of control. "Thomas!"
Thomas found her spot, and he began increased the pressure of his thrusts as her body began to shake uncontrollably. She called his name repeatedly, he held her at that angle until she came. "That right baby, feel everything I have to give you."
Connie never expected to feel this way in Thomas's arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face on his chest as he continued to thrust deep inside. He put his hand between them and worked her clit until she shot of again. "Thomas!"
Thomas surged inside her one more time before his orgasm hit. He didn't want to move, he sat on the bed and held her as she cried, her tears wetting his neck and chest. "I got you Constantina; I'm never going to let you go." It took a while for Thomas to realize that she had fallen asleep with him still inside her.
He lifted her off his body, and she crawled into the middle of the bed and went back to sleep. Thomas couldn't take his eyes off her. They didn't discuss him staying the night, but there was no way in hell that Thomas was leaving. He disposed of the used condom in the bathroom connected to Constantina bedroom and quickly joined her in bed.
Constantina moaned as she felt Thomas's weight on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her, spooning behind her as he covered them with the bedding. She relaxed her body and for the first time in her life, slept with her lover in wild abandonment.
