Another Time, Another Place

I sniffled. “For tonight.”
“Let that be enough for now. God himself couldn’t make the world in a day. Be patient. Time gonna bring good things. Like rain falling on flower seeds, helping them grow into somethin’ sweet, like Jasmine.”
I smiled for the first time, enjoying the warmth of his arms.
Hear the whisper of the raindrops blow softly against my window pane late at night
Make believe you love me…one more time
For the good times…
When I woke up, I thought Harrison would be gone, but he was still here. Sleeping peacefully beside me.
LOVE WHAT YOU DO FOR ME
Harrison gave me innocence last night. As a new dayclean shined across the bed, I slipped my hand into his boxers, taking what I needed now into my hand.
He smiled and moved onto his back. I removed his shorts.
“Mornin,’ beautiful,” he moaned.

“Umm…Good morning,” I said, kissing the bridge of his nose as he opened his eyes.
He licked his lips. “I see you feelin’ better.”
“I am, but this Rock of Gibraltar gonna tear my insides out,” I moaned, easing down on his rod.
“That’s because you like to take control of everything,” he said with a wink. “Sometimes you gotta let a man handle his business before you start running things.”
“Is that right?”
“That’s right, now take it easy,” he said. He guided my hips, sliding me up and down the vascular desire that became more delicious with each stroke. “That’s it,” he moaned as he closed his eyes. Harrison gave in to the feel of my triangle swallowing his dick. I rode him until my body collapsed onto his, weakened from my orgasm. “My turn,” he said, as he placed me on my back. I welcomed him into my warm shelter, wrapping my knees over his shoulders. We both succumbed to the depth of our lovemaking. Harrison being with me made life beautiful again. His skillful touch to all the right places helped me experience uninhibited intimacy.
As we rested, I rubbed his taut back, gliding my hand up and down his spine.
“You gotta get home?” I asked, giving him a peck on the lips.
He exhaled as he touched my necklace. “I gotta shower, kiss my son, and get to work, ’fore Mr. Rayman fire my ass.”
I smiled. “He won’t fire you, if I put in a good word.”
“What?”
“I work for him, too. I’m his lawyer.”
He playfully pinched me. “Damn, you somethin’ else. Why you still in Sapelo? Seem like you’d be makin’ mean green in a big city, like New York or Chicago.”
I wrapped my arms around him. “I like being around familiar faces. People who make me feel good, like you.” I looked away, towards the oak tree hovering outside my window.
Harrison touched my chin, easing my face his way. “What’s the matter?”
“Naomi. She gonna be wondering about you.”
He shook his head. “I doubt that. She stopped asking me questions about my whereabouts when I started asking about her late nights.”
“Well, I just wanna say thank you for last night…for everything.”
