Chapter 12

      For the Love of Keisha ~

     “
Move up a little bit, baby...”
Keisha’s voice was low and encouraging. “
Oh…yeah…just like that…don’t stop now, we’re almost there…Uh-uh…put your leg back up….higher…riiight there….you’re fantastic, you know that…”

     The woman eagerly followed Keisha’s soft, seductive instructions. After all, she was the expert and knew how to get the most out of her. When she thought she had nothing left, Keisha managed to coax her into giving more until they were both satisfied.

     “
Mmmmm…yeah….you‘re wonderful…..I‘m feeling it, sweetheart…."

     Her legs began trembling from the effort, but she was determined to give herself completely. Keisha was very sought after and she was lucky to have her.

     “
Yeah…Yes…YES!! That’s it! You were great!!”
     The woman’s body relaxed. She slowly stretched to work the kinks out after the different positions she had forced it to conform to, but it had been worth it. She gave Keisha a big smile.
     “And it’s a wrap!” Keisha’s assistant took the camera out of Keisha’s hand to extract the film.
     “Great job Asia!” Keisha called out to the model, clapping as she walked over and gave her a hug. “You were terrific! We got some fantastic shots! I can’t wait to get them developed. I’ll send the proofs over as soon as they‘re done.”
     “Thanks, Keisha! Girl, you pushed me to my limit today, but I know these are gonna be the best pictures I’ve ever taken. You’re an awesome photographer. I was ecstatic when my agent told me you would be the one snapping this shoot. I can’t wait to see how they turn out.”
     “I have no doubt they will be fantastic. You make it easy. I’ll talk to you soon.”

     Asia flirtatiously looked at Keisha from underneath her lashes. “Well, I was wondering if you weren’t busy later, maybe we could go out and get a drink…or something.”

     Keisha was checking the missed calls on her cell phone that had come through during the photo shoot. When she heard the underlying message in Asia’s voice that suggested she would like a lot more to happen than just drinks, she looked up with a start. She saw Donna, her assistant roll her eyes heavenward as she began to pack up the equipment.

    
“I have plans tonight, Asia. I’m sorry. Maybe another time?”

    
Asia stepped closer to Keisha and took her hand in hers. “I’m going to hold you to that, Keisha.” She leaned over and pressed her lips to Keisha’s before swinging her hips from side to side as she left to change clothes.

     Keisha watched Asia’s ass in the bikini bottoms for a moment and smirked before going back to her phone. Without looking up, she said, “What was that look about?”

     “You already know. The females are worse than the men. They have absolutely no shame in coming on to you.”

     Keisha grinned. “Hey, don’t hate the playa…” She laughed as Donna again shook her head. “Okay, we both know you’re as hetero as they come, but even
you
have to admit she’s hot! If I weren’t leaving for the bright lights of Vegas in a couple of weeks, I might think about hittin’ that.”
And if I weren’t in lust with a certain 6’1 muscular walking wet dream,
she silently added.
     After Asia left, Keisha helped Donna, get the rest of the equipment as they went over last minute details. Keisha was exhausted, but it had been a productive day. She was psyched from all of the outstanding shots she’d gotten, but relieved to have it over.

     They were loading everything into Keisha’s SUV when Donna suddenly froze. “Uh-oh. Don’t look now, but you know who is driving up.”
     Keisha let out a long, frustrated groan; she did not even have to turn around. From Donna’s expression of intense dislike, she already knew who it was.
Damn!
     The Mercedes Sport pulled up beside Keisha and Donna and blew the horn. Keisha slipped her shades on before turning around. The woman sitting behind the wheel of the flashy red sports car was beautiful and she knew it. Her thick, black hair fell down her back and was slightly tousled from riding with the top down, but it only enhanced her sexy look. Her exotic features were the result of a Japanese mother and Latino mixed with African-American father. She was also a spoiled bitch used to getting what she wanted - daddy’s money saw to that. Right now, she wanted Keisha - bad - but Keisha was the one thing she couldn’t have anymore.
     “Rochelle what are you doing here?”
     “Well, you mentioned you were going to be doing the photo shoot at this location, so I took a chance that I’d catch you before you finished. Looks like I came by just in time.”
     “Barely. We’re getting ready to leave. I have to send the film to the developer and make sure I stay on their ass. The magazine has me on a tight schedule, and the photo editor wants them ASAP.” Keisha tried to give Rochelle a hint that she didn’t have time to fuck with her right now. As always, Rochelle ignored the implied suggestion that Keisha was too busy for her.
     “I was thinking I could drop by tonight. After all, you’ll be leaving for Las Vegas soon. I still don’t know why you want to leave Atlanta and move there anyway,” Rochelle pouted as her sultry eyes ran over Keisha’s body. The snug jeans showed off Keisha’s ass to perfection, and the baby tee left her stomach bare, giving Rochelle an enticing view of Keisha’s tight abs. Rochelle licked her lips as she thought about running her tongue greedily over Keisha’s stomach and unsnapping her jeans to get a taste…
     Accurately reading Rochelle’s thoughts, Keisha impatiently blew out a sigh and rolled her eyes behind the glasses. Her tone was terse as she interrupted Rochelle’s fantasy. “‘Chelle. It’s not like I’m leaving right this minute. I’ll still be here another three weeks, and I’m sure I’ll see you before I leave.”
This is exactly why I kicked your ass to the curb
, Keisha thought to herself.
Too damned clingy.
     “Uh, Keisha, I’m gonna go and get started since we have a
lot
to do and not a whole lot of time to do it in.” Donna pointedly stared at Rochelle, but once again, the innuendo went right over the other woman’s head.

     Rochelle ignored Donna and directed her comment to Keisha as she played in her hair, letting the silky strands flow through her fingers. “Come on, Keisha. You can be so mean to me sometimes.”

    
Donna curled her lip up at the woman then told Keisha she’d call her later.

     “Rochelle, I’m not gonna say this again…..” The ringing of Keisha’s cell phone interrupted the conversation. It also spared Rochelle's ass from getting cursed the fuck out. She didn’t have time for her shit today. Bitch couldn’t take a hint.
     Keisha glanced at the caller ID before a smile unconsciously spread over her face. Bringing it to her ear, her voice was soft and husky when she answered. “Hello?”
     “What’s up, sexy? Are you busy?” Dominick’s deep voice caused Keisha’s heart to flutter
     When she saw Keisha’s smile widen before she turned away, Rochelle’s pout turned into a suspicious frown.

     “I just finished up the photo shoot. I’m on my way home now as a matter of fact. How are you?”
     “I’m good. This workday has kicked my ass, but thank God it’s Friday. What are you up to later? Will I be able to talk to you?”
     “Oh, I think I can spare a little time for you.”
     “Mmmm…only a little?” Dominick’s voice lowered to a sexy drawl. “Even if I promise to make it worth your while?”
     Keisha closed her eyes and bit her lip. She knew exactly what he meant. A tingle of anticipation shot its way to her very core. She remembered a couple of days ago when he’d made it ‘worth her while’ over the phone.
     “In that case, I can definitely find the time,” Keisha replied.

      On the other end, Dom's body reacted to her tone. He had to shift in his chair at his desk to find a comfortable position for what was now a raging hard erection.
     “Humph uummm…..” Rochelle loudly cleared her throat. She wasn’t happy at all with being ignored. Jealousy sprouted wings and took flight when she saw the look on Keisha’s face.
     Keisha removed her shades to cut her eyes at Rochelle. “Dominick let me call you later when I get settled.”
     “Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
     Keisha smiled as she hung up. The smile turned to a scowl as she brought her attention back to Rochelle. “I have to get going. I’ll be in touch before I leave Atlanta.”
     “I thought you were going to be busy tonight, Keisha. Apparently not too busy to talk to whoever that was you were drooling over on the phone.”
     Keisha ignored her and got in the truck. Rochelle was one of the reasons why she was ready to move to Vegas. The woman was past the point of being a nuisance and irritated the hell out of Keisha. She’d only kept her around this long because she was great in bed, but screwing her wasn’t worth having to put up with her possessiveness. Keisha had ended things a couple of months ago, but Rochelle, being Rochelle, refused to give up.

     Shaking her head, Keisha took off without a word, leaving Rochelle longingly staring after her. 

     It was well after nine o’clock that night by the time Keisha gratefully sank down in a hot, scented, bubble bath. She sipped a glass of wine as she listened to the soft jazz cd playing in the background from the stereo, and relaxed back against the bath pillow.
     Her thoughts turned to her upcoming move to Vegas. Jerra had been there almost a year since she’d married Darrell and had baby DJ. Keisha smiled as she thought about the latest pictures she’d received yesterday. He was growing so fast, and Keisha hated that she’d even missed these few precious months out of his life.

     Aleesha had finally made the move to Vegas to be with Marcus after he’d proposed to her. Keisha was still pissed off that everyone witnessed it except for her. She’d cursed each one of them out when they’d called her with the news, but she was over the moon happy. Aleesha should’ve moved her ass to Vegas months ago.
     And then there was Dominick. They had gotten to know each other pretty well from the numerous phone conversations they’d had. Dominick had opened up to her about his divorce which became final six months ago. His wife had been cheating on him after years of what he perceived to be a happy marriage. The hurt came through his voice when he’d spoken of the betrayal. The one bright spot in all of it was his six year old daughter whom he adored. He had sent Keisha pictures of her and she was absolutely adorable.
     It had never occurred to Keisha to tell Dominick that she was bisexual. She really didn’t see what the big deal was. Her bisexuality was as natural to her as a “straight” person’s heterosexuality was to them. To Keisha, it was simple. She was very picky when it came to qualities she looked for in a partner, but gender wasn’t one of them; she didn’t have a preference. It depended on the individual person as to whether or not she was attracted to them - male or female. The way Keisha looked at it, she had a lot more choices than a hetero - and that was fine with her.
     The drawback was that sometimes when she dated men, more times than not, they always brought up the possibility of threesomes thinking it would be no big deal to her because she’d slept with women before. At that point in the relationship, Keisha ended things with a
quickness. She’d never had a threesome, and if she ever decided to, she’d do it because she wanted to, not because someone thought it was a preconceived stereotypical thing for her to do.
     Settling deeper into the water, Keisha’s thoughts went back to the conversation she’d had with Aleesha a while ago. She hadn’t realized it, but lately she
had
been dating women more frequently than men, but that had more so do with the shortage of men in Atlanta than anything else. Like she told Leesh, she actually missed the feel of a man’s body, and when she’d met Dominick, the attraction had been instantaneous. If that whole situation with Marcus being investigated for sexual harassment hadn’t come up, she was sure she and Dominick would’ve had sex before she left Vegas and they both knew it.
     Now that she thought about it, she was glad they hadn’t slept together. She enjoyed the conversations they had, and the last few calls ended up being some of the steamiest sessions of phone sex she’d ever had. Keisha moaned and closed her eyes.
That man knows he can talk some good ass sex!
She was eager to experience the real thing with him.
     Speaking of which, Keisha figured he would’ve called by now. She was more than ready to relax even further as only he could make happen. She stepped out of the tub and dried off. So anxious was she to hear his voice that she bypassed her nightly ritual of applying the expensive butter lotion she paid a ridiculous price for. It was excellent for keeping her skin supple and baby soft, but it wouldn’t hurt to skip one night.
     In anticipation of the upcoming call, Keisha lit several candles and dimmed the lights to set the mood. She grabbed the phone and crawled in bed naked, propping the pillows behind her head before dialing Dominick’s number. Finally after the third ring, he answered.
     “Hello.” Keisha frowned at the breathlessness of his voice and the muffled giggle which sounded from the background.
Did he have his hand covering the phone??
     “Hi…Dominick. It’s Keisha. Uh, did I catch you at a bad time?” What she wanted to ask is if he had female company, and if so, what in the hell were they doing. Her imagination was driving her crazy! However, they were nowhere near the point of being exclusive with one another, so technically she guessed he could date whoever he wanted. Even though she realized this, Keisha couldn’t stop the slight pout that formed on her lips.
     “Hey. Aw baby. I’m sorry. I forgot to call you.”
     Keisha raised an eyebrow. She pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at it with her mouth open.
He ‘forgot’ to call me??
“Oh. Well. Okay….no problem. If this isn’t a good time…” Keisha tried to keep the attitude out of her voice, but she had a feeling she failed miserably.
     “No, wait. You don’t understand,” Dominick chuckled at her tone. He knew she was a little perturbed. “Sam is here. Her mother called and asked if I would mind switching weekends, which of course I don’t. I’d keep her with me all the time if I could.”
     “Ohhh, okay.” Keisha’s relief was evident in the response she gave him. She heard the squeal of laughter again when Sam called for Dominick to hurry up and come play. “Well, go on and spend time with your daughter, we can talk later. She sounds like she’s impatient for her Daddy,” Keisha said with a smile.
     “Yeah, the little terror,” Dom laughed, but the love he felt for Sam came through loud and clear. “Again, I apologize for not calling. Everything sort of happened so fast.” His voice lowered to a sexy drawl. “Can I make it up to you later tonight after she’s asleep?”
     Keisha’s hand moved over her breasts, and she squeezed her legs together in anticipation. “Sure…if you have time, that is.”
     “I’ll make time. Keep it wet and warm for me?”
     Keisha was barely able to suppress her moan. “Of course.”
     “Okay. I’ll call you later.”
     After they hung up, Keisha lay on the bed even more frustrated than before. Her first thought was to pull out her trusty silver bullet sex toy which she kept in the drawer of her nightstand. She was still trying to decide when her doorbell rang. Keisha frowned at the clock.
    
Now who in the hell is that, especially coming over without calling first.
Already in a bad mood because she was sexually frustrated, Keisha grabbed her robe and stomped through the house.
     Peeking thru the peephole, she lightly rested her forehead on the door when she saw who it was. What in the fuck was Rochelle doing here? She hesitated before swinging the door open. Her eyebrows bunched together in obvious displeasure.
     “What do you want?” She knew she sounded rude - but what the fuck!
     “Don’t be mad, Keisha. I was passing by on my way to the club and saw your light on, so…”
