Chapter Nine

They stood in the silence for a long time, the water pouring over them ceaselessly as they rested against the wall breathing hard. That was the only way they could stay without falling over, any movement on their part might lead to a slip and fall.

When Femi finally got some strength back in his legs, he reached out and turned off the shower, sending the bathroom into an even deeper silence. He slowly pulled away from her, grinning goofily at her as she dropped her legs on the floor once more.

“What the hell just happened?” She whispered, her heartbeat was still racing as she was still trying to recover from what she had just enjoyed. Her body was still trembling from the after effects of her orgasm, and the inside of her thighs was still tingling from that as well. It would take some time for total recovery.

“Not trying to brag or anything,” Femi replied as he turned around and took the clean towel from the hangar. “But I believe we shifted the earth’s position on the solar system. Can’t you feel the shift in the gravitational pull?”

She laughed out loud as he began to towel her body dry. She did not even try to stop him or take the towel from him, she was just so weak she allowed him to turn her around and dry her body. When he was done he gave her a pat on her behind.

“You really have a sexy body,” he told her.

At that, she turned to face him, and then looked down at his manhood. It was only semi-hard, “for a second there, I thought you were about to go another round.”

“What?” He laughed as he began to dry himself as well, “do not be silly, Ada. I need to rest, I am no superman. I think that even if it was superman that did what we just did he would have tapped out as well.”

“I just want to sleep,” she murmured. She was tired of standing, she wanted to lie down have a beautiful sleep. After such a good sex, there was no way she would not sleep well and have a sweet dream.

“Okay,” Femi replied as he replaced the towel back on the hangar, making sure to spread it out so that it could air out and dry properly before the next use. Then he put his arms round her and took some of her weight, “let us go to bed then.”

She leaned against him, grateful for his strength because any other way would have meant her crawling to the bed. And that did not look so good, not even in her mind’s eye.

They made their way through the room and then crashed into the bed, it was soft and they sank into it.

“Ahh…” she gasped as she felt the sweet sensation of the satin sheets against her skin. “Thank you Jesus.”

Femi laughed as he climbed in beside her, set the pillows they had scattered during their first round of sex and then lay down. Without any prompt, she shifted in the bed and laid her head on his chest. His arms went round her and pulled her close.

Apart from their breathing, the only sound that could be heard was the low hum of the air conditioning unit that was pumping the room full of cold air. The hum somehow seemed to add to the ambience and made the atmosphere all the sweeter. She ran her hand across his bare chest as he used the blanket to cover them both.

“This is so sweet,” she muttered, keeping her voice low so that it would not ruin the moment they were in. But he had heard her perfectly, simply because there was nothing else to distract him. “It is like I do not want it to stop at all.”

“It does not have to stop, baby.” Femi told her as he ran his hand across her back sending shivers down her spine. “We can do this all day and everyday if you want.”

“Of course, I would very much love that. The thing is that, it is still limited. At the end of my stay I will be returning to Owerri. And like I told you, I have no idea when next I will be coming to Lagos again.”

“Well, I totally understand. This was not meant to last anyway, was it? I will just see to giving you the best week I possibly can, and then you can return to your life in the east.”

She let out a deep sigh, “after all these, it won’t be fun. It was not fun before I left and it will even be worse by the time I get back.”

“Nah… I trust you Ada. If there is anything that you are, it is a smart woman. You will find a way to make everything work out for you. You told me you always come out on top, right?”

“Yeah,”

“Well, take charge of your life and decide how you want it to go. If you do not have it figured out by now, then other people will do the figuring out for you.”

“Maybe it will be a good idea, don’t you think? Let others do the thinking for me, then I won’t have to make the hard decisions.”

“But then, you might not like the decisions they make. What am I even saying? You would not like the decisions they make, there is no but in the matter.”

She shifted in the bed, getting closer to him as she pressed her breasts into his chest as she gently tugged at his nipples, she was loving the way he smelled. So close to him, his smell filled up her nostrils and that alone was arousing as hell.

“Well,” she said after a while. “I do know all these things, I have always been my own woman and I make my own decisions, even though my Dad fights most of them most of the time. But I always know what I want and I am usually ready to do anything to get it. It was good hearing you say it though, it is always nice to have a chat with someone that is on the same frequency with me.”

“I know the feeling,” he muttered as he softly caressed her behind. “Tell me something you have always wanted and what you did to get it.”

“My fiancée.” She said simply.

He looked down at her and she looked up at him and laughed, “what?”

“I thought we were not going to talk about him?” he told her.

“Well, he came up. My father wanted me to marry this ugly duckling, simply because he wanted to expand his company and take it intercontinental.”

“Wow… that must have really been a big deal.”

“For them, I did not give a damn. The man was no good, all he knew was money. No romance or anything. After that, any man I brought to my Dad got turned down. Until I met Eche, I believed he would be the one for me. So I stood my ground against my father until he eventually relented and accepted him as a son-in-law.”

“Go girl!”

“Well, as it turns out, Eche is a lousy lay. Sex with him is so boring and I can’t just imagine how I would go on for the rest of my life with just him.” She sat up as she said this, pulling up her legs to her chest, “I knew there was something out there, a kind of life that I was supposed to live before I got married and I was just so damn sure that if I did I would finally be able to settle down with him. By then I would know exactly what I was missing and know that there was nothing to it. Because if not, I would spend the rest of my life wondering what it could possibly be that was out there, that kind of life that I only hear about. I do not just want to hear about it. I also want to live it, experience it for myself, and know what it truly feels like to be…”

“To be what?” He prompted her when she stopped talking, his voice was still so low.

She kept quiet for a while and then said with a sigh, “truly loved. To be seriously made love to. It does not happen with my fiancée because he always has money on his mind. That is why I want to see what is truly in this thing.”

 “And now?” Femi sat up as well, running his hands across her shoulders, massaging it slowly and eliciting a tiny moan from her. It was distracting her from her train of thoughts but she did not ask him to stop. Instead, she forced herself to remain focused.

“I just started seeing it, and it seems there is a lot to it. I want to see it to the end.”

He pulled the hair back from her head, “look around you baby, there is no one to stop you.”

She turned and faced him, sitting yoga style as the bed sheet was all around her naked form, “what if I do see it to the end? What then? Does it change me? I do not want to change.”

“Ada, it is definitely going to change you. There is no way on earth you can avoid that. It is a package deal with what you have chosen; you just have to be prepared for it.”

“Okay, but what if I do not like what I become?”

“And what if you do like it? Or in fact, love it? What if the new you becomes the best version yourself?”

“Wow…” she muttered as she thought about what he was saying. “That is another way to look at it.”

“I am just saying you should be ready for any eventuality that may come your way. That is it.”

“Okay,” she nodded her head. Thinking hard. She was doing the right thing, discovering herself and finding out who she could be. In a way, she was doing this for her fiancée and she could only hope that everything worked out for the better in the end. When this sojourn of hers was over, she would go back home and be the loving wife to her husband. And her husband alone.

That should not be so difficult, right?

They lay back on the bed, the same way they had been lying earlier. But this time, to feel closer to him, she draped her leg across him as well, putting her head on his chest as she settled in. everything was going smoothly so far, it was all good and giving her sweet vibes.

Nothing was going to ruin this for her.

She wanted to sleep, the sex had drained her of strength and all that was on her mind was to just close her eyes and go off to dream land.

She felt Femi’s hand close over her behind once more and squeeze it possessively, she felt a shiver go through her as anticipation and lust sent a tingle through her veins and straight to that spot between her legs. And immediately, all thoughts of sleep and tiredness was forgotten as she opened her eyes and looked at him.

“I thought you said you were tired?” She asked him.

“Our short conversation has given me strength,” he replied as he used his other hand to gently guide his manhood towards her honeypot. She was already wet with arousal and ready for him.

“Nasty girl,” he murmured as he slipped it in. “So you want it as well.”

She let out a soft moan as he filled her up, she raised her behind a little to accommodate him better then he filled her up to the hilt, “hell. When will I get used to how this monster of yours makes me feel?”

“You can’t baby,” he muttered, his voice gruff as he held her by the waist and pulled out. “It will be like new every damn time,” and he slammed back in again, drawing a cry from her.

She got up and straddled him, impaling herself on his cock till he was all the way in.

“Hell…” she groaned as she felt it jerk and move inside her, her inner walls were spasming and clenching uncontrollably around his manhood. It felt like the thing was growing inside her and touching things it was not supposed to touch.

She gently lifted herself a bit and lowered herself back on his manhood.

“Hell…” he groaned as well, feeling every sensation keenly as if they had been amplified by his brain. It was like he was taking a drug, but with each second he took it in, the effect kept getting stronger and stronger. He was enjoying every second of it, and as his manhood made its way into her, his hardened flesh was so sensitive that it could feel the moist way she clamped herself around him. He did not want it to stop at all.

Because of his size, she rode him slowly at first; enjoying and feeling every little tingle shoot through her body. It was as if she was being electrocuted little by little, but with each one the current became higher and higher. And as it did, she began to move faster.

Soon, she was riding him like a rodeo, her hands on his chest as her hips ground continuously against him. She was whimpering as his manhood kept doing things to her, she could not stop. She was going as fast as she possibly could and even that was not enough. She wanted to go faster. She needed to go faster, or the pleasure would kill her.

Femi grabbed her by the waist and began to plow her from under, holding her in place as he gave her upward shots. The slap of his strokes as his body slammed into hers continuously filled up the room. She was feeling everything, moving in tandem as their pace increased.

Her inner walls clenched around his manhood once more, letting him know that she was steadily approaching her orgasm. He did not slack in pace, he kept pounding into her, making her cry out loud continuously without stop as the orgasm finally hit her.

Her head snapped back suddenly, as if she was pulled by an invisible hand. The tight grip was like a vise around his manhood and it seemed to shoot him into another realm all together. He sat up from the bed, held her close, and kept doing her. The bed was bouncing with their movement and making their copulation all the sweeter.

She was shaking terribly in his arms, the orgasm tearing her apart as his manhood kept going through her like a piston. And soon, she was spent. But that was when he shot his own load deep inside her, hugging her tight as if he did not want to lose her. By the time he was done spilling his seed, they both fell back to the bed. Still in each other’s arms.

Neither of them said a word, just focusing on getting their breathing back to normal.

And that was how they finally fell asleep.
