Finally, after a week, he knew he had to go back to his place.
"No....I don't want you to go Leif!" she cried when he was at her door with his guitar, and the duffle bag containing her clothes.
She sounded like an adorable, spoiled little girl. He didn't want to go either.
"Hey, I don't want to go either Lynne, but I've got laundry piled up. I'm really running out of clothes. I need to feed my fish. I bet they might be dead. But none of that shit matters as much as seeing what's in my mailbox. I know I have bills to pay. Don't make it harder than it has to be honey. I'll be gone for a day or so, tie up my shit, and I can spend the night again darlin' as long as you want," he added stroking her chin, and it's adorable dimple.
"I know. But...God, I love being with you...come back soon okay. Maybe in a few days...and spend a few nights," she added softly at the door.
"Of course honey. Believe me this is as hard on me as it is on you. I'll call you when I get home okay," he added kissing her forehead.
He shut the door, and walked down the steps.
He was so damn sad he felt a lump in his throat. What the hell was wrong with him? She wasn't dead. He'd probably be spending the night again in an evening, two evenings tops. He couldn't stay away from her and they couldn't keep their hands off of each other. She was coming faster, and harder now, and frankly, he wasn't going to wait too much longer to start burying his face in her legs. He'd only been waiting so long because he wanted to gradually introduce her to things, so she didn't feel overwhelmed, and so that she learned the skills he was teaching her, very well.
Teaching her. She was such a good little student, coming fast, coming hard, licking her own sweet juices and sharing them eagerly with him. He didn't even need to ask her to taste every time; now sometimes she sucked his fingers as soon as he was through, and fed him the flavor from her own sweet mouth like she was sharing honey with him. His cock ached at the thought as he walked down all those damn steps.
But then, he started thinking about waking up alone tomorrow morning. None of Lynne's fabulous breakfasts. None of the spirited debates over the morning paper. No teasing and tickling her and painting her toenails. None of her old ass video games. No serenading her on the guitar. No listening to her sing to him. No playing with her tender, juicy little pussy while she made him feel like a hero, crying and moaning her undying love.
And he couldn't do it.
He turned around and marched up all those damn stairs.
He banged on the door so loud and fast he must have started her because she peeped through the lock.
"It's Leify baby, don't be scared," he called lovingly.
And she opened the door.
He put his hand on her shoulder, possessively.
"I...I don't want to....I don't...I can't stand it..."
"Can't stand what babe? What's wrong?" asked Lynne confused.
"Pack yourself a week's worth of clothes. Bring all of the shit you need. Of course if you leave something important we can come back here and grab it real quick, but bring the shit you need for a week...I can't stand to be without you. You're coming back to my place today, for a week. Get all the shit you need," he added.
Lynne let out a started chuckle. Then she grinned and said.
"I'll grab my stuff as fast as I can," and she leaned up and impulsively kissed his cheek.
Her face was red and flushed with love. Just like his heart was.

This thing with Leif was like a whirlwind. He was tender, sexy, sweet and handsome and everything she dreamed she wanted in a man. It was so good, she was scared and delighted.
She'd never been in love before, and she was beginning to understand that a lot of people thought they were in love, but they didn't understand that deep, passionate love that combined the sensual with the romantic, and even that deep friendship.
She was so lucky that he'd walked in that club to watch her sing. He was so demonstrative and sweet with his love. Maybe because he was such a free spirited hippie. Maybe because he was perfect for her in every way. They did sometimes play up the differences in their races, but, only lovingly in the context of the things they craved. He craved her sweet buttery black skin complexion, and she craved his dreamy blue eyes, and blonde eyelashes. But there was no static or issues due to the differences. She was in fact, surprised at how easy and natural it was to love him. Made no difference that he was a white man, and she a black woman. At this point, it just made it spicy, and fun...a taste of difference, but a deep heart and soul connection.
But Leif, was a dream. None of the men she knew sang to their women while playing the guitar. Rubbed their feet. Sucked their toes. Painted her toenails. Went to bed just to cuddle. Patient and took his time. Made sure she finished so good! Just with his hands, because he knew she wanted to take it slow. Did all those sexy, nasty and erotic things with her juices. The way she was raised, she thought men didn't like that taste or smell. But her tender, sexy white boy loved her taste, and her smell.
Now she knew that not all men were repulsed by women's juices. Leif acted like he craved licking his fingers when they were through. And that he wanted her to do it too. She liked that he was freaky and nasty, it felt like nothing would be forbidden between the two of them as she "learned" from him. He liked calling it that, affectionately when they played sensually. It could be their own personal playground of warmth, good feelings pleasure and orgasms.
He didn't even want her to touch him yet because he knew she had traumatic experiences with sex and wanted to ease her into stuff.
And she'd almost ruined that shit in the beginning by being scared he was a casanova. Imagine she'd almost fucked up the whole thing by being so afraid of him. And she'd be missing out on the biggest joy of her life. She was so glad he'd talked sense into her, and told her about herself on that rainy night. The two of them laughed about it now. He'd even taken to calling her little Ms. Faucet in private, as an endearing term about how wet she got. But because she knew he loved her, and how wet she got the teasing didn't bother her. It was so loving...I love my little Ms. Faucet, and she giggled and blushed when he teased her.
Sometimes even now, she felt that he was too good to be true and she was scared that he would leave.
She woke up in the middle of the night sometimes checking to see that he would be there and she hadn't dreamed him up. Sometimes, she almost pinched herself when she was close to him. In some ways, it felt like he was giving so much more than she was, because she'd been so damaged, by how she was raised, the upbringing, and Martin. He spent a lot of loving time undoing that damage, by showing her kindness, and care, and being patient and loving.
And, even though she still felt scared to try sex again, she wanted to overcome her fears.
When she could, she treated Leif like a King, since he treated her like a Queen.
"Keep his belly full and his balls empty...you'll be engaged to that fool by summer," that's what Janelle had teased with a laugh whenever she talked about Leif.
