Chapter 28—To Know Her

“She fucked her father’s business partner,” Eve told Elvin as he slowly massaged her foot with perfumed oil. “Another was brave enough to have two men deep inside her.”

“Wait,” Elvin said. “You work with all these people?”

“I know what it may look like. Sex addicts and all, but they are damn good at what they do, business-wise. Apparently, they don’t have the time to give to love, so the idea of dating is temporarily put on hold. Whatever they do, is always for the moment, and they know how to separate business from pleasure.”

“If you work with them, how come you’re not like them?” he asked, wondering.

“You seem to forget I had a fiancé.”

And he did forget. Come to think of it, he still didn’t know much about her, and he’d been indoors with her for a month, and a few days. “I really do not know anything about you, you do know that, right?”

Eve knew there was nothing she couldn’t handle. If the life around her was a storm, it was because she willed it so. She knew someday Elvin would ask this, and what she had to do was lie. She was quite consistent with her lies, creating a link that you wouldn’t find difficulty believing.

“Okay,” Eve said with a sultry voice and leaned closer to kiss him, sliding a hand into his shorts. “I’m going to tell you whilst removing your clothes and touching you. And this is a game. To know me, you must not get hard. If you do get hard, I will shorten the story. If you do groan, I stopped talking about myself, and you’re to let me finish what I’ve started.”

“That’s not fair,” Elvin said. “That’s not fair at all. You do know that whenever you kiss me, you always—” He paused as Eve’s hand found him hard and closed around him.

She watched him shut his eyes, and she smiled. “You wanted to say something?”

“You always make me hard.”

Eve made a slight side head gesture. “And he can talk. I thought I had you tongue-tied there for a second. Small wonder my charm is beginning to wear off. Do you think it’s because we’ve been together this long?” she asked with a squinted gaze.

Elvin took her in both hands and had her with her back on the sofa. She knew she had him now. All that was left was for him to be deep inside her. But somehow, he held off. He looked at her, his eyes searching, seeming to bear her soul.

Eve chuckled, and seductively, she asked, “What are you doing?”

He dipped himself forward and kissed her. “Keep talking.”

Eve smiled. “Now, you’re cheating. I’m supposed to undress you and do things—” He didn’t finish for he kissed her again.

His lips read hers. It took her in the soft fashion. He broke the kiss, drew her into a sitting position, and said, “Go ahead. Tell me about you.”

Eve first took her time to undress him, and this she did slowly. She ran a hand on his chest, and with the other, she slid lower between his legs.

“I’m Eve O’Neal,” Eve said, “and I’m a—”

Elvin caressed her through the outer part of her G-string.

Eve stilled herself. “I should have added that you weren’t supposed to touch me.”

“Too late, hon. Keep talking.”

This was his insurance. It would make her lose the game, but worth more, she would lose her concentration, thereby being unable to finish. Perhaps it was a good thing after all. So she suppressed a smile. No need to let him know that she was already the victor.

So she told him all her mind could recall from the lie she had constructed for this moment, and while she stroked his thick erection, he kept thrusting his fingers into her, hitting a spot that caused her to still herself every now and then.

Somehow, he didn’t moan. He just sat there looking at her and listening to her, and sometimes she shut her eyes to be able to take in the pleasure of what he was doing to her.

She had to find a way to stop talking, for whenever she desired him, he would stop moving inside her and urge her to keep talking.

“I’ve said everything I could remember,” Eve said. “Stop doing this to me and just come inside me already.”

“It’s so nice to know you desire me this way,” Elvin said. “I mean, I desire you this way, but the way you told that, one would think you had it all rehearsed.”

“Perhaps, I’ve had to say it like that to countless lovers.”

“That’s all on the surface, love. Go beneath the surface. Tell me about the lady I desire, the one I’ve been sharing my bed with.”

This, Eve knew she could tell. It would require a bit of focus, but this she very well could tell. “I’m a lover, and I am patient. I would move mountains for whatever I need. I would go through the flame to achieve whatever I want. I am a black hole of secrets. Things shared in confidence with me, vanish, never to be seen, or told to anyone. Secrets I create with my mind, things I wish to forever conceal so it doesn’t reveal me as the devil I truly am, I let them linger for a time, but later on, I never let them see the very light of day.” She looked lost saying that, but his fingers moved in her, making her consciousness return to the parlor she shared with Elvin, and the thrusting of his finger became intense.

Elvin was already adjusting when she said, “Can I have you?”

He smiled and said, “You had to ask.” He made her stand and turned her to face him. “Take me inside you and ride me in a sitting position.”

Eve took him, and guided him inside her melting sweetness, and she gasped. She moved slowly with him inside her, her hips rocking back and forth, he sent a hand behind the back of her neck and drew her in for a kiss.
