Gripping my waist tighter so that I was locked against his body, AJ refused to let me go…and I didn’t put up much of a fight. The lingering electricity between us ignited our emotions until we were both consumed by a wildfire of lust that had parts of my body throbbing that I’d nearly forgotten even existed. AJ released a ragged breath that reminded me of making love to him. In my head, I remembered the way his hands used to own my body, the way he brought my very soul to life, and the sound of him moaning when I’d make him cum.
That was about all I could stand.
“I can’t do this,” I forced out as the song faded to a close. AJ released me from his grasp slowly because, with the music now non-existent, he had to.
Putting a few inches between us, he cleared his throat as if coming out of a trance. Discretely, my eyes drifted down to his crotch, observing his massive hard-on. Biting my lip, I tore my eyes away from what I knew I couldn’t have.
I massaged my temple with my fingers, feeling so flustered and horny that I could hardly see straight. To hide the effects of our ‘closer-than-close’ dance, AJ shoved his hands in his pockets, pulling the material of his pants away from his body while he settled down. I fought against a laugh, thinking of how high school boys have to implement similar tactics on occasion. AJ, on the other hand, didn’t bother pretending to not find humor in the situation. As he traipsed away with his head hung low, I heard him chuckling.
Even his laugh is hella sexy…
“Bathroom emergency,” Maisha said, snatching my hand and dragging me behind her to the restroom. As soon as the door closed, she started doing the potty dance, tap dancing in her expensive shoes.
I grabbed the bottom of her dress and motioned for her to back into the nearest stall. When she shimmied out of her panties, I laughed.
“You are sooo lucky I love you,” I said as she gathered up more of the material, aimed her backside toward the toilet, and sat.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she was finally able to use it, not caring in the least that I stood holding her dress up off the ground.
“I want you to remember all of this when it’s my turn,” I said with a laugh.
“I got you, boo. Trust me, when it’s your turn, I’mma be there with bells on.”
I smiled and turned my head while she maneuvered awkwardly to wipe. The toilet flushed and she struggled with her panties – she was on her own with that part.
“Whew!” she exhaled. “I didn’t think I’d make it!”
We shared a laugh and then the conversation took a turn that I didn’t see coming.
“So…what was all that y’all had going on out there on the dance floor?” She asked.
My cheeks flushed red in my reflection as we stood at the sink. “What’re you talking about?” I couldn’t even look her in the eye as she washed her hands.
“Mmm hmm…I saw that look he was giving you.”
I blushed even harder.
“Girl, bye…AJ and I are nothing but friends.” As soon as the words left my mouth, Kira came through the door and I was so glad that she hadn’t entered a second sooner. I hoped that the awkward way Maisha and me abruptly ended our conversation didn’t give anything away.
“Ready?” Maisha asked, heading toward the door.
I nodded and took a few steps behind her, taking note of how tight Kira’s expression was. Had she noticed the connection between AJ and me out there?
Chapter Six
AJ
With Kira out of sight, I watched the one person in the room that I shouldn’t have had my eyes on. Sitting there with the new guy – Jason, or whatever his name is – she laughed at something he said while his hand landed on her thigh. I stared, watching as he touched her like I used to touch her…only it didn’t look like she enjoyed it nearly as much when he did it.
The form-fitting, turquoise dresses that Maisha chose for the bridesmaids hugged Sam’s body in all the right places – tight across her breasts and hips, showing off some of her best assets. At the thought of it, I could imagine what it would be like to let my hands run over the smooth satin, exploring her curves through the material. Even knowing that I shouldn’t have been looking, I couldn’t turn away.
