About the Author

~ Chapter 1 ~

Vanessa sat alone in her car eating lunch needing time to herself to process the recent events of her life. She had spent the last two years working for a marketing firm trying to make a name for herself and had finally landed her first big account. She was extremely excited and knew this was her time to prove herself. She worked long hours to find strategies to move her client’s portfolio forward. Her goal was to become a marketing executive within the next 5 years and eventually own her own firm. She made it her business to learn her craft and picked the brain of the senior executives every chance she got. She was driven and determined to be the best. So far her work life was on a trajectory to success.

She had spent so much time working on her career that she completely forgot about her personal life. It felt like she had suddenly looked up and found herself at 32 years old with all the trappings of success but with no one to share it with. To others looking in she seemed to have everything, a nice car that was paid for, a beautiful 3- bedroom home in an upper middle class neighborhood, no student loan debt and excellent credit, not to mention healthy savings and retirement accounts. She had essentially acquired the American Dream. She was the first in her family to go to college and wore that badge of courage proudly but she didn’t want to wind up like her mother, by herself miserable with no love in her life.

Even so she really didn’t have time to worry about that part of her life. She had everything perfectly planned with her goals aligned the way she wanted. She just assumed that love would come when it was meant to. The last thing on her mind was meeting a man or falling in love, which frankly wasn’t convenient right now. Love was complicated and demanding and she needed all her energy for her career, which took up most if not all of her time anyway.

Which is why when she met him –Mr. John Bishop it was not altogether a welcomed surprise. He was the most beautiful man she had seen in a long time –6’2" with dreamy brown eyes, chocolate brown skin and sinewy muscles all over. She had stopped into Malcolm’s her favorite new restaurant for lunch, sitting in a booth alone when she felt she was being watched. She had her Blackberry open and was eating a gourmet roast beef and mushroom sandwich while reading her emails. She was so engrossed in her emails she didn’t see him approach her booth.

She looked up annoyed that someone would be brazen enough to interrupt her peaceful lunch and was shocked to see a man resembling model Tyson Beckford with handsome high cheekbones and eyes that were slightly slanted looking down at her. It took a moment for her to respond, not sure whether he had actually said something to her.

I’m sorry what did you say?

I said my name is John. Do you mind if I sit here with you? I seem to have lost my lunch date and I don’t like eating alone.

"He looked dapper wearing a sleek black Armani suit and a warm smile. He had the most perfect white teeth she had ever seen. His presence was commanding and his manner bold, causing her to almost melt under his gaze, not to mention that captivating silky smooth deep voice.

Ah, no. She stuttered, for the first time feeling a lapse in her confidence. That was the first time they met for what was only fifteen, twenty minutes but at the time felt like a lifetime. She had to rush back to the office but couldn’t get him out of her mind.

He had not been in her plans so she was beside herself. It was not like her to be unfocused and sidetracked but he constantly intruded her thoughts throughout the day. When she was not with him she craved just the sight of him, the smell of him, his touch. She had been in love before but not like this. She felt herself falling without a safety net. She turned on the car to rush back to work hoping she would be able to survive the hard, bumpy ride.

*****

She had been on a few dates with John including extended lunches and a few nights to dinner. They had been out tonight after work at Malcom’s the restaurant where they first met. The more time she spent with him the more she realized he was the most intriguing man she had ever met. He was an attorney at a prestigious law firm. There was a time when she was younger that she wanted to study law but decided to go a different route. She found herself drawn to his explanations about various cases she had questions on that were in the recent news.

She could listen to him for hours and soon realized that her life that seemed so perfect before now felt empty and hollow without him in it. She was more than drawn to him. It was as though they had known each other for years rather than just the month. The more she watched his mouth the more she wanted to suck on his lips. Her fantasies were becoming more and more vivid when they were apart.

She seemed to grab his attention, as well. They talked about everything, her aspiration, her family, where she wanted her future to go. She opened up to him more than she had ever opened up to anyone including her best friends.

So what do you want in a man Vanessa?

Wow, where did that come from? That was real random. They had been discussing another case when he broke out with the question.

You’ve got me intrigued and curious.

Well, honestly I’ve been so busy with work I haven’t thought about a relationship for a long time. Work takes up a lot of my time. My last relationship was a disaster because I didn’t devote the time to nurture what we had. If I had it to do all over again I would choose someone who had the kind of schedule that I have. Someone that would understand the amount of dedication it takes to be successful in a competitive field.

He was looking at her with a slight smile, which was so seductive it sent chills up and down her spine. He took her hand in his gently, seemingly unaware of the heat that traveled throughout her body from his touch.

What else? The sensual feel of his touch set her senses on fire even more as he raised her hand to his lips and kissed her. She was finding it more and more difficult to concentrate. Her eyes fell on his lips and his ultra white smile imagining them all over her body.

Ahm, I’m sorry what was the question? She had totally lost her train of thought. Her body was betraying her as she felt her nipples harden under her blouse.

Oh yeah, if I had a choice I want a man who loves me unconditionally. Someone who puts me first and wants to build a family. She looked into his eyes and could see the unmistakable passion. She suddenly felt self-conscious and wanted to take the attention off herself.

What do you want in a woman? He smiled at her and reached over to gently kiss her.

You. It was a gentle whisper as his lips made soft contact with hers. He seemed to be unaware of his affect on her. She could feel her body getting wet in very private places. She had never had such an intense attraction with anyone like this before and didn’t want the night to end.

Come on let’s get out of here. He paid in cash and left a $50 tip before escorting her out of the restaurant, his hand on her elbow. She felt compelled to invite him back to her home, which was just a few miles away from the restaurant. She knew it was dangerous to be alone with him, not sure she would be able to contain herself. It had been so long since she had the soft caress of a man. She was for the first time in a long time willing to see where things would lead between them.

…This is beautiful Vanessa. You should be very proud. He was looking around her home with admiration. There weren’t too many people her age that had accomplished what she had in such a short period of time so she was beaming under his praise.

Thanks John. It took me a while but I finally got here. I have so much more I want to accomplish with my life. She didn’t know why she shared that with him but she felt comfortable with him. She felt safe and protected and for some reason wanted him to be a part of her dreams and aspirations. He had no idea how being in her personal space made her feel close to him.

There were many nights where she found it difficult to sleep because she couldn’t get him out of her mind but now he was here, close to her. She craved the feel of him next to her. He had awakened a passion in her that she didn’t know even existed. She wanted to show him how she felt about him but didn’t want to move too quickly for fear of scaring him away.

She had been lost in thought for a moment when he gently kissed her. She felt an electrical current run through her causing her to back away for a moment to gather herself. She saw the need in his eyes and couldn’t help reaching in and kissing him again with purpose this time. He pulled her to him even closer holding her head with his hands and kissing her passionately. She let out an involuntary moan unable to maintain control any longer. She clung to him thinking this was a dream. She certainly had several similar to what was happening now. She returned his passion like a starved woman loving the taste and feel of him. His cologne, his muscles, his passion was all an intoxicating brew.

John. She whispered when he finally let her up for air. She could see the passion in his eyes that mirrored her own.

Vanessa I want you. Let’s go to your room. He was looking at her pleadingly, willing her to give in to her need for him. She shut out the voices of reason and took him by his tie seductively and led him into her bedroom, which was the one place she hadn’t shown him earlier. She turned around into his arms and kissed him again, feeling she was entering into a danger zone but she didn’t care. It had been so long since she had a man touch her, love her and satisfy her. To make it even better it was John, a man she was beyond attracted to and could see herself building a future with. He took her breath away. She needed to feel him close to her if only for a moment.

She opened his tie and pulled it from him tossing it on her beige chaise in the corner of the room. The look in his eyes made her knees almost buckle as he unbuttoned her blouse. He drew in his breath when he saw her Victoria Secret peach lace bra. She wanted to feel his heartbeat next to hers as he satisfied her passion. He kissed her neck as she breathed in the pheromone like smell of his cologne, which seemed to ignite a deep passion in her.

Vanessa, I want to make love to you. He whispered in her ear as he licked her, sending chills down her body. She wanted him, no needed his love. He removed her blouse and her bra with expert hands. She unzipped her skirt and kicked it off in haste fueling the tempo in the room.

John, yes! Come here. She unbuttoned his shirt while leaving a trace of hot kisses on his muscular chest. He ripped off the shirt and removed his pants in what seemed like a single movement. Soon he was standing in front of her in his red Ralph Lauren underwear. He looked like he could be a model in one of Ralph Lauren’s Ads she thought to herself. He was magnificent. He quickly removed his underwear revealing his hefty 10- inch package, which caught her off guard.

Oh my God.

What?

She couldn’t keep her eyes off him almost in awe, trying not to be intimidated by the sheer size of him. He moved closer and pulled her back in his arms, the warmth from his flesh seemed to ignite hers. She crawled in the bed and he followed pulling her to him. He kissed down her neck and moved to her nipple licking slowly as if to torture her. She moaned deeply as his hands rubbed every inch of her body and now rested on her mound. He slowly removed her matching lace panty and slid his fingers inside her, massaging slowly. It was so maddening Vanessa thought she wouldn’t make it.

You are irresistibly beautiful do you know that? She stared in his eyes unable to mask her feelings. He was playing her body like piano keys causing her to give off a tortuous moaning sound when he hit her g-spot.

Oh God John, I need you.

Not yet baby. I want to please you. He took his time moving with a distinct rhythm watching her writhe under his hands. She was climaxing under his touch, biting her lip to maintain some degree of control as he watched her –studying her. Little beads of sweat formed on her upper lip, her breathing becoming heavy and labored. He sucked her nipple taking gentle bites, as he pressed harder on that spot keeping a deep penetrating motion.

Oh God please. Her voice sounded tortuous as she almost screamed when she climaxed. She grabbed his hand pushing him out of her. She couldn’t take anymore, almost embarrassed by her reaction to his touch. She barely knew him but he seemed to own her as her body performed at his whim. She snuggled up to him trying to catch her breath. He waited until her body was calm and relaxed to move on top of her and gently enter her.

John!

He took her breath away as
