Free Falling (Book Two: Secrets)

I washed my hair and body, but decided to stay in just a little bit longer just to clear my head. The door creaked and I opened my eyes. I was surprised to hear footsteps entering the bathroom, and even more surprised when Sam slipped into the shower behind me, wrapping her arms around me from behind. Her breasts smashed against my back and a smile crossed my face. Maybe I’d get to release this tension after all.


Not gonna lie; I didn’t see this coming, but it was definitely a welcomed surprise. Her hand trailed from my chest, down my stomach slowly. If she didn’t already know I wanted her, she definitely knew once her hand wandered lower. I was all the way ready for whatever the hell she had in mind.

When I turned to face her, I caressed her body slowly. Not one inch of her went untouched by my hands or my lips. She leaned against the wall and gently gripped my hair in her hands as I kissed my way down to her thighs. Holding her tight, there were no signs of resistance when I lifted her leg onto my shoulder and took her breath away with one stroke of my tongue. She smelled and tasted better than I could ever put to words.

Her fingers raked through my hair, moaning and whispering my name excitedly as her legs started to quiver in my hands. I followed the same trail back up to her neck as she dug her fingers into my back, drawing me in closer. I taunted her for a while, making her wait to get what she came in here for. When I finally eased inside, she bit down on her lip, staring into my eyes. I stood motionlessly at first to let her catch her breath again while the hot water rolled down our bodies.

Those beautifully dark eyes of hers bore a hole straight through to my soul. I don’t even think she realized how deep my love for her ran. She could’ve asked me for the moon and I’d move heaven and earth to get it for her.

We moved together rhythmically; slowly at first until slow was no longer an option. I’m pretty sure her roommates got tired of hearing her say my name, but I didn’t. Her voice was nearing a scream. Both of her legs encircled my waist and she locked them together at the ankles. She arched her back away from the shower wall and let her emotions take over as one intense tremble rushed through her entire body. She moaned loudly as I lost my own battle to keep quiet, letting obscenities fly from my mouth without filters. No parents. No distance. However we wanted it. Wherever. Whenever. I could get used to this. The smile on her face when we finished led me to believe that she was thinking the same thing.

I released her from my grasp and let her feet touch the shower floor again, but didn’t back away. I held her close while she got her balance, enjoying the view from behind when we finally walked to the bed where we slept soundlessly for the next four hours. We probably would’ve been down longer if it hadn’t been for someone knocking at the door. Sam didn’t bother getting up.

“Who is it?” She called out, sounding only halfway conscious.

“Who sleeps this late? Get up!” Terrell yelled back, banging again.

“Go away! If nobody’s hurt or dead, I don’t wanna hear about it.” Sam turned over toward the wall and pulled a pillow over her head.

When he continued to knock, I got up and pulled my shorts on to answer – mostly so I could keep Sam naked in that bed for as long as I could. Terrell seemed shocked to see that I was in her room.

“Oh, my bad, man. Didn’t mean to wake ya’ll up,” he apologized.

“It’s cool. What’s up?” I rubbed my eyes in an attempt to focus.

“Maisha wants you guys to hang with us later. We’re going to that indoor fair at the Arena. There’s supposed to be a free concert too. Think you guys can make it?” He asked hopefully.

I turned to look at Sam who still had her head under the pillow. She didn’t protest, so I told him that we’d be there.

“Cool. We’re going at around six, so y’all can ride with us if you want.”

“Yeah, sure. Sounds like a plan. Thanks for the invite,” I replied.

When Terrell turned to leave, I shut the door and went back to bed. “What’d he say?” She asked.

“He and Maisha want us to go to the fair with them tonight.”

“Fair? It’s the middle of winter!” She objected.

“It’s inside, duh.”
