pacing.
I was so turned on. I thought about masturbating, but I knew that wouldn’t curve the hunger and the passion that I felt at the moment.
Maria was never around anymore. She tried to avoid me when I was in this state. She never wanted to be the object of my desire. Though, I have always desired to make love to my wife, I had to settle for other women.
Most could not hold a candle to my beautiful Maria.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I opened my desk drawer and reached for the lotion I always use. I was in the process of unzipping my pants when my cell phone rang.
I looked at the screen and saw Lorenzo’s name.
It hit me.
Lorenzo and Julia. They have to know her number. But how can I ask them for it? I ran through a handful of excuses in my head before settling on one. I quickly answered the phone.
“What can I do for you sir?” I answered playfully.
“I was checking up on you. Making sure you didn’t die in a horrible death or something.”
“No, I’m fine. Thanks for your concern.”
I struggled a little bit with what I wanted to say. Then I let it go.
“Hey, Lorenzo, what is the name of the young woman that accompanied you guys to the wedding?”
“What?”
I closed my eyes and thought about her. I remembered how delicious she smelled and how her earring grazed my lips as I tasted her…
“You know, the young black woman you guys brought to the wedding. We know her name is Maxine, but we didn’t get a last name.”
I heard muffled sounds coming from the other end. I could not tell what was being said. On my end however, I heard the front door open and close. I could hear the sound of heels clicking on the hardwood floors.
Maria was home.
I could hear her cross the foyer and up the stairs.
Normally she would race into the room to show me all of her purchases…unless she overspends. In that case, she would hide a few things before letting me in on what else she bought.
My thoughts were interrupted by Lorenzo’s voice.
“Mike, her name is Maxine Marshall. Why do you need her name?”
“Maria is sending out thank you cards and just wanted her full name.”
Maria was coming down the stairs. I had to end this conversation quickly.
“Okay, you are making me forget the real reason why I called.” Lorenzo said.
“Oh what’s up?” I said nonchalantly.
I hear Margaret and Maria talking right outside my office door.
“I just wanted to invite you out for a boys’ night of debauchery for your birthday. Are you free?” He asked.
I released the breath that I was holding.
“Don’t know. Maria may have something planned. I’ll have to let you know.”
“Alright cool. Just give me a call.”
I hung up the phone with the plan to search on-line for Maxine Marshall and find my lover once again.
Maria bustling and full of energy breezed into my office with a bag in her hand.
“Michael, I have a surprise for you!” She chirped walking over to my desk and sitting on the edge.
I watched as her beautiful legs in that skirt put my beautiful mahogany desk to shame.
“I visited your favorite suit store and bought you a present.” She said opening the bag in her hand and pulling out a plethora of ties on my desk. There were so many different colors.
I smiled.
“Is this your way of softening me up for something?” I asked.
She looked upset.
I wasn’t fooled.
“Why do I always have to have ulterior motives whenever I think of my husband and buy him things?”
Maybe it’s because she always does.
“Because you always do.”
She rolled her eyes and scooped the ties back into the bag.
“Fine,” she said folding her arms across her chest. “Selena, the girls and I are having a ladies night out next Friday.” She said her voice trailing off at the end.
I stopped. I was fairly
