“No comment.”
Alonzo kissed the back of her hand, then focused on the road. With soft music playing in the background, the time passed quickly. He shut off the engine and glanced over to see that Kenya had fallen asleep. “Wake up, sleepyhead,” he said, pressing a kiss to her lips.
Kenya groaned softly and covered a yawn. “Sorry. I didn’t realize I was so tired. Are we here already?” She sat up and whipped her head in his direction. “The beach?” she asked excitedly.
“It’s two blocks away.” The radiant smile she gave him filled his heart, and she was out of the car before he could get to her side.
“I know, I know. You open the doors. I’m just so happy.”
“My only job from now on is loving you and making you happy.”
She stared at him curiously, as if trying to figure out the meaning of his statement, but he merely grabbed their bags and headed for the door.
“This place is charming. I’ve never stayed at a bed and breakfast. How many rooms does it have?”
“Eight with an additional suite reserved for their family.”
When they entered, the long-time manager, Doris came from behind the counter and engulfed Alonzo in a crushing hug. “It’s so good to see you again, Alonzo. Even better that you have a guest, she added with a knowing smile.
“Good to see you, too, Ms. Doris.” He made the introductions.
“Let me know if you two need anything. Breakfast is from six to ten.”
“We’ll do that. Thanks.” Because he’d stayed in Deon’s two-bedroom suite with its separate living area before, he knew where to go. It was situated down a separate hallway a short distance from the other guest rooms, for extra privacy. He opened the door and moved aside for Kenya to enter first.
“This is beautiful. It looks like a small apartment.”
“Are you hungry?” Alonzo placed their bags on the loveseat.
“I am,” she said, tossing her purse next to the bags and closing the distance between them. She ran her hands up his chest. “I’m hungry for you.”
His arousal was instant. Without uttering a word, he swept her into his arms and strode purposely to the main bedroom and laid her in the center of the king-sized bed. He had them both naked in record time.
“I’ll take that,” she said, snatching the condom from him. “Tonight I want totasteyou.” Kenya pushed him backwards on the bed and straddled his body.
Shit!He wasn’t going to make it. Alonzo didn’t know where this bold part of her came from, but he loved it and had no problems letting her have her way with him.
“Would you like it if I licked and kissed you everywhere?”
A groan was the best he could do with her mouth working its way over his chest and down to his belly. “You’re going to get yourself in trouble,” he said through clenched teeth.
She silenced him with another kiss and continued her journey down his body.
He tried to sit up and shift his body, but she held tight. “Baby, no!” He cursed and jerked upright as she took him into her mouth. Alonzo struggled to draw in a breath as she swirled her tongue from base to tip and sucked him in deep. His stomach muscles contracted beneath her hands and his legs shook.
“Mmm, I’m enjoying my taste. Are you?”
Hell, if he enjoyed it any more, he’d be dead. As it stood, his heart pounded so hard in his chest, it felt like it would explode. “Kenya, baby,” he panted, gripping the back of her head and keeping her in place. She increased the pace, and he went rigid and exploded. “Kenya!” He lay sprawled with his eyes closed, hands fisted and his breathing ragged. Yeah, he could do this the rest of his life.
Kenya crawled up his body and lay next to him. “I love you, Alonzo.”
“I love you, too.” Rotating to his side, he curved an arm around her. “Marry me, Kenya.”
Her head popped up. “What did you say?”
“I’m asking you to marry me, sweetheart. So much has changed since our first kiss. But the one thing that remains true is each time I’m with you and hold you close, my heart still tells me you’re my one. The one I will love forever.”
“Are you kidding me?Yes!A thousand times, yes,” she yelled, kissing him all over his face. “Thank you for loving me. I am so happy.”
