Excerpt from Feel The Heat
The soft sound of John Coltrane interrupted Brent’s reading. Pulling his glasses off, he walked to the door and noticed the music was coming from Mimi’s place. He imagined her inside dressed in a silky nightgown, her hair up in a curly bun with a few tendrils around her face. Maybe she was reading or maybe she was swaying to the music as she wrote.
Unable to be satisfied with just his thoughts, Brent crossed the hall and knocked on her door.
A few seconds passed before Mimi opened the door. Brent drank in her image, clad in white cotton shorts and a cropped tank top. “Brent?” she said. “Music too loud?”
Brent closed the space between them and drew Mimi into his arms. Without a word, he kissed her—slow. Deep. Passionate. A moan escaped Mimi’s throat before she gave in to the heat of Brent’s kiss. His hands roamed her back, reveling in the feel of her soft skin. He wanted to take her upstairs and bury himself deep inside her.
But this wasn’t right. She made a big show of saying they were friends. But damn she was a good kisser. Mimi’s mouth was magical, her tongue divine. He couldn’t stop kissing her if he wanted to. This wasn’t how he operated.
Mimi pulled back, placing her hand against his chest. “Wh-what was that all about?”
“Something I’ve wanted to do all day,” he said, his voice low and deep. “Hearing Coltrane just pushed me over the edge. I’m sorry if I . . ”
“You know I’m no good for you,” Mimi said. “I don’t want the family fantasy you have in your head, and I don’t do one-night stands.”
He nodded. “I just couldn’t stop myself. Mimi,” he moaned.
“You have to go.”
“Listen, I didn’t want to come over here and try to make something happen, but you are irresistible.”
“Bye, Brent,” she said, then turned her mouth up to his and kissed him again. Hard. Deep. Wet. Brent’s body felt as if it had been ignited like a stick of dynamite. Then she pressed herself against him, and he was harder than a concrete column. Mimi broke the kiss, and they stared into each other’s eyes.
“We’re playing with fire. How far do you want to take this?” His voice was husky and filled with want.
“If we cross the line, we know that it can’t end well,” she said. “But you’re such a good kisser.”
“I’m good at kissing in so many other places, too,” he said with a randy wink.
“Talk is cheap. Prove it,” she said.
“Mimi,” he murmured. “You’re going to get what you’re asking for. Make sure you can handle it.” Brent scooped her up and held her against the wall. He slipped his hand between her thighs and stroked her until she moaned.
“You sure you what comes next?” he breathed against her ear.
“Mmm, ye-yes,” she moaned as he pulled her shorts off.
No panties, he was excited. Brent pressed his thumb inside her, finding her clit and stroking it until she screamed, and her thighs trembled. “You like that?” he whispered against her ear. Then Brent nibbled at her lobe and Mimi dug her fingers into his shoulders. Brent kissed her neck and took a step back from her.
