Her Man: An Interracial Romance (The Bentini Brothers Book 2) by Jaye McCloud Page B

puppies’ blanket and toys.  He lays the blanket on the floor in
the corner.  I place both pups on the blanket, turn the television on, and tune
in to the classical music channel, as Antonio turns out the lights.  I get back
in bed with him, but sleep on my side so that I can see the pups.
         Feeling Antonio’s arms come around me, I
snuggle in closer to him.  “Thank you Tony.”
         “I don’t want your thanks, I want your love.” 
I automatically stiffen in his arms at his whispered words.  “Antonio?”
         “Good night, Tiressa.”
         “Good night, Antonio.”  I whisper back.

          “I want to make love to you.”      
         “Umm…umm”; hearing myself moan, I come fully
awake.
         “Baby.  I want to make love to you.”  Antonio
is behind me, kissing the back of my neck.  One of his arms is under me, with
his big hand on my bare breast softly caressing the rigid bud as he’s pressing
my body against the front of his body.  “Umm…”  I moan again, feeling his other
hand deep between my thighs.
         “Open up Baby.”  Antonio whispers, licking my
neck and then my ear before gently sucking the lobe into his warm wet mouth.  “Ummm…Tony…” 
His fingers continue gently circling, then rolling my throbbing tips, causing a
delicious shiver to run through my body as I clutch at the covers under my
hand. 
         “Baby I need to be inside you.  Now!  Can I
make love to you Tiressa?”  Antonio growls just before I feel the scrape of his
teeth across my nipple as he sucks the little brown berry into his warm mouth. 
My breath stops and tears blur my vision at this most exquisite sensation. 
“Yes!..Yes!..Please Tony!”  I don’t care about anything but Antonio’s hands on my
body as I ride this wave of ecstasy to completion.  Gripping the covers,
gripping Antonio, moaning deep in my throat as my entire body tense then spasms.
With Antonio still thrusting into me, I experience a lovely series of jerking,
twitching powerful glorious aftershocks.
         “I’m getting cold Antonio.”  Tiressa sounds
more sleepy than angry, and for that I’m very relieved.  Reaching behind me, I
pull the covers up over our quickly cooling bodies.  Snuggling tighter to
Tiressa, we both fall back into a sound sleep.

         “Are you by chance, looking for this?”  Turning
from my frantic search, to face Antonio holding up the very box I’m tearing
apart my bathroom medicine cabinet looking for.
         “Yes.  What are you doing with it?”  I ask
defensively.
         “What I would like to know is –why do you have
this?” Antonio’s voice is calm, but I can tell that he’s clenching his jaw;
which means he’s really upset.
         “You know why Antonio.  Can I have it back?” 
I ask holding out my hand for the tiny box.
         “How many times have you used these?”  His
voice is lower, quieter; which means that he’s trying to control his anger.
         “Once.”  As furious as he is, I have no intentions
of telling him the truth –that I’ve taken the morning after pill twice . 
Although I feel I didn’t really have a choice, I know that he won’t see it that
way.  “I bought it after the first time we made love and I realized that you
probably didn’t use a condom.  I was unprotected Antonio.  I’m still
unprotected.  Since you refuse to use a condom, I need some kind of
contraceptive until my birth control pills have time to work effectively.  Antonio,
give it to me, please.”  I ask again, holding out my hand.  
         “You want me to give you a drug that will get
rid of my baby.”  He demands outraged.  
         “It’s a morning after contraceptive, it
doesn’t get rid of a baby, it prevents a baby from being made.”
         “And that’s supposed to make me feel better,
Tiressa?  Because it doesn’t!  Inside your womb right
