THE UNXPECTED

EXCERPT 1

After an entirely too short afternoon lunch, followed by three weeks of
telephone conversations due to conflicting schedules, Crystal and Marcus had
finally cleared an entire evening that was long overdue.
Crystal sat in the passenger seat beside Marcus smiling, amused by the light
skinned female who openly eyed him while crossing in front of his freshly
washed gray pearl Avalon Phantom XLS. Marcus sat unmoved by her futile
attempts to catch his attention with a seductive strut and probing eyes. His
focus was on the red light keeping him from getting to Crystal’s apartment,
trying to cut the remaining travel time in half. He needed to continue what they’
d started in the restaurant’s parking garage.
Crystal reaffirmed his thoughts with a gentle hand on his thigh as she
extended her long legs and studied the female, dismissing any notion of
interest. The girl’s large behind was packed tightly into a pair of jeans, her
stomach jutting out over the waistband, and her hot pink stiletto heels fell two
shades darker than the belt and pocketbook intended to match. She shook
her head and enjoyed the view of Marcus’ melted butterscotch complexion,
strong jaw line, and large seductive eyes topped with thick, curly, eyelashes.
They had enjoyed dinner at a subtle Mexican restaurant in the Village. Seized
by the atmosphere, thought provoking conversation, and several drinks while
seated across from this figure that she’d found so captivating, Crystal invited
him back to her place.
Her brown suede coat was now folded over his arm, which also held a
bouquet of mixed roses, his other arm hooked around her waist, as they
giggled at nothing in particular, and she fumbled with the keys to her
apartment. He’d been unaffected by a glass of Southern Comfort but found
no way to escape the intoxication of the woman standing before him. As she
steadied herself in his arms, she felt the warm wetness of his tongue as he
planted a kiss on the shoulder that had come from beneath her shawl. They
stumbled through the door, laughter rising as they fell into each other’s arms.
In her living room, amidst the glow of a half moon and street lamps that
bounced around the room compliments of the mirror lined hallway, their lustful
kisses revealed the hunger they each held. Marcus wasted only seconds in
undressing Crystal, admiring her supple mocha skin from every angle. Before
he could remove her skimpy underwear, she began to disrobe him. She
hastily threw his tie and shirt on the sofa, beside his jacket. Her lips were
immediately drawn to his tool as she pulled down his pants and boxers
together.
Marcus steadied himself against the wall and freed his lower extremities,
careful not to disrupt Crystal from the task that temporarily occupied her. He
knew this was the start of more than just a good night. Crystal intrigued him.
Although almost a decade younger than him, after their first conversation it
was no longer her medium lips, glistening with honey brown lip gloss, calling
to him. Her vivaciousness and her intelligence added to her beauty and held
him captive. He didn’t remember having been this fascinated by another
woman. From the first time their gazes locked he wanted more…more with
her, more of her…just more.
