you do need to tell her. Donât keep anything like that from her. If sheâs a true friend, sheâll understand.â
âYeah, I guess youâre right. Iâll tell her. I donât know when, but I will.â
âI suggest you not wait like you did in telling me about LJ. You see how much damage thatâs done, right?â
âYeah, I know, but itâs not going to be easy telling my best friend that her husband came on to me either.â
âNo, itâs not, but you just got to deal with it and do the right thing.â
After hearing Jaylinâs deep voice, LJ lifted his head off Jaylinâs shoulder. Jaylin stood up and started to leave the room. âIâll take him home with me tonight. Get some rest and Iâll bring him back tomorrow.â
âJaylin?â I said, softly.
âYeah.â
âPlease donât go. Stay with me tonight. I donât want to be alone.â My eyes watered as I waited for him to respond. I just knew he was going to say no, but when he sat back down on the sofa, I smiled.
An hour later, Jaylin put LJ back to sleep. When he came back into my room, I had already taken my bath and was standing naked while drying myself.
His eyes stayed glued to me. âHey, sorry, I didnât know you wereââ
âItâs okay. Itâs not like you havenât seen me naked before.â He walked further into the room. âHere,â I said, handing him some peaches-andcream lotion. âWould you mind rubbing this on me?â
He took the lotion bottle from me. I lay on my stomach and rested my head on my hands. Jaylin stood motionless for a few seconds, then sat on the bed next to me. He squeezed some lotion in his hands and rubbed them on my back. I just knew he was going for my butt first, but he didnât. I closed my eyes, and his hands felt like they were melting into my body.
When he did get to my ass, I was on fire. He massaged it in a circular motion, and not being able to handle his touch anymore, I rolled over and sat up. His eyes lowered to my breast.
âWhatâs wrong?â he asked.
âNothing, nothing at all. I justââ I paused, and before I said anything else, I leaned him back and straddled him. I placed my lips on his and he went with the flow kissing me back. He bent his left leg, lifting me a bit so I could feel his hard dick poking me through his pants.
Our intense kissing came to a halt and we stared into each otherâs eyes. âI love you, Jaylin. Only God knows how much I love you.â
I reached for his shirt to take it off, but he stopped me. He pecked me a few more times on the lips and held my face in his hands.
âI love you too, Nokea, but I canât do this.â
âYes, you can. Just let go of your anger and make love to me, please,â I begged.
He pecked my lips again and rose up. âTrust me, you donât want to be with me right about now. All Iâm going to do is hurt you even more. Iâm no good, baby. And making love to you is only going to complicate things. I wonât be able to live with myself if I keep on hurting you.â
A tear rolled down my face and I rested my head on his chest. âHow can you lay here and not want to make love to me? Donât you want me anymore? Donât I even appeal to you?â
Jaylin wiped my tears. âOf course I want to make love to you. And yes, you do turn me on. But Iâm saving the best for last. Iâm not going to put you in this mess Iâm in right now. So please, donât make me do this to you, okay?â
His words didnât ease my pain, so I got off him and lay sideways. Jaylin turned on his side too and placed his hand on my hip. âNokea, you donât ever have to be lonely. Just call me, and you know Iâll always be here for you. I need you to be strong for our son. Donât let anybody stop you from being there for him, not even
