Enchanted Desire

Chapter 11

It was from David.

Got called in to work. ☹ Couldn’t pass up the overtime. Sorry, hon. Be back in the morning. We’ll do something tomorrow instead. Luv ya

“Smiling again,” Courtney teased. “Was that from Kenny?”

“No,” I said simply and turned away, looking forward to getting home now. With David working all night, I would have the whole apartment to myself.

I wanted to boil myself. After so many hours of breathing in car exhaust on the highway and being coughed and sneezed on by every single person in greater Boston, not to mention being indiscriminately pushed and shoved around by strangers, getting bumped and knocked to the floor and injuring my thumb, I felt like I had spent the day in a life-size Petri dish. But meeting Kenny more than made it all worthwhile. I settled on a hot, sudsy bath. As soon as I stepped into the tub and eased under the surface, my body responded to the caress of the water, and I imagined being in Kenny’s warm embrace.

I thought about his handsome features, the sharp jawline and mysterious dark eyes. I could see his wide, bright smile, and the way his muscles moved under his shirt. I couldn’t help recalling the photos Courtney had taken of him, including the one of his crotch.

He was really hot, but there was more to it than just that, and he had more to offer than just a big cock. I had been around plenty of good-looking guys before, with cocks of all shapes and sizes. Still, for all the intangible factors of attraction, a powerful sexual allure could not be dismissed. The physical component was so strong it almost

frightened me, though not because of the raw sexual thoughts themselves, but because I was not fully in control of these feelings, or myself. It didn’t really make sense. I only knew how he made me feel. Nothing else mattered.

I could not stop thinking about him as I cleansed my body with a bar of olive oil-based soap. I remembered the way his lips moved when he spoke. I wondered if he shared true romantic feelings for me and if he wanted my body as badly as I wanted his. I imagined what he looked like naked as I worked the bar of soap across my breasts, while bringing my other hand down between my legs.

Suddenly, I heard the squeak of a hinge. I felt goose bumps rising on my arms under the warm water. The bathroom door slowly swung open and my heart instantly sank.

David was home.

Not only was I disappointed, hoping to have the apartment to myself all night, but I wondered if he came home because he had seen me at the shop talking with Kenny. Even though nothing had happened, he was jealous enough to think there was something going on.

My disappointment quickly turned to delight when I saw the tall, broad figure that cut through the steam in the room. I knew it was Kenny right away.

“I had to see you.” Kenny’s voice boomed like thunder in my ears, making my body shudder.

“How did you—” I could not finish what I was going to say before Kenny crossed the room to the bathtub in three strides and gently put the tips of two fingers against my lips.

“Shhhhh.”

The sibilating sound lulled me back into tranquility. He slowly ran the fingers of his right hand along my jawline to my ear and then down the nape of my neck, he did the same with his tongue on the other side of my face. I shivered even in the heat of the steaming bath water. Cupping the sides of my face in his hands, he drew his head toward me and kissed me deeply.
