Chapter Eleven

When Munzi got back home, she was feeling no better than she had been at the airport. She felt empty. She had a few regrets. Maybe she should have begged him to stay but that was selfish. He needed to go chase his dreams. She needed him complete and she still had a long journey to recovery. It was for the best but still she wished that there could be a sign that he was going to come back to her. Something to hold on to. If only she could see him one more time she would be okay. Just once. That was all she was craving and then she would let him go and leave the rest to God. She waited and prayed for a knock at the door. She stared at it for hours, waiting for a miracle. Hours passed but he didn't come. He was gone and she might never see him again. The realization of that set in and she burst into tears. For the first time since she said goodbye, the waterworks came. All hope was now lost. There was no way he was coming back. Just as she was about to fall asleep, the miracle happened and she received a message. She decided to check it hoping it was him. Maybe hope wasn't all lost after all.

Open the door. I'm back. It read. She read it again. She could not believe her eyes. Maybe someone was playing a cruel trick on her. There was only one way to know for sure. So she got out of bed and wiped her face before opening the door.

"Took you long enough." Adrian said smiling sexily at her. He watched amused as she shook her head and rubbed her eyes to make sure that she wasn't seeing things. Then she pinched herself before her eyes lit up.

"Adrian." She finally whispered after making sure that what she was seeing was in fact real.

"Munzi." He said before kissing her passionately. He had missed her even though it had only been a few hours.

"How are you here?" She asked after they broke off the kiss. His forehead resting on hers.

"I didn't leave. I had to see you one last time." He said and pulled her inside before locking the door. "There is one last thing I need to do before I leave."

"What's that?" Munzi asked as he led her to sit on the bed.

"I heard that you are having trouble with anatomy." He said and started undoing the buttons of her black dress.

"What does that have to do with your coming back?" She asked but still arched her back to get more of her skin to his touch.

"You never forget something you've felt. And you always prosper when you're nurtured. Like a moon you reflect the light when it's shone on you." He said and completely removed the clothe. He took a sharp breath as he stared at her naked torso. Even after living with her in a very small space for a month, he had only ever gotten to see her in her long dresses and shirts. He had known that she was of an impeccable figure but even his imagination did not do her justice.

"You could go to hell. And you're very poetic." She said bringing him out of his trance.

He looked at her in the eye and said seriously, "I make choices I can live with and today I want you to feel what you should have felt all along."

"I hope you don't get disappointed." She said thinking about all the other times she had been intimate with other people. Truthfully, it had only happened three times. Once with Kabila and twice with Hita. She had hated it all those times and she was scared that she might not enjoy this. It was already bad enough that she would never get to close her eyes when her hymen broke and then enjoy the after pleasure. She would never get to see her blood and be embarrassed. She would never be able to have her first time as she had always dreamed it. But that was okay. What was not okay was if she never got to enjoy being with the only man she truly wanted to be with fully.

"You could never disappoint me if you tried." He said with a smile dissipating her fear. She had lived with the fear of people seeing right through her. Seeing that she had been molested and broken and shunned. She had been afraid of the judgement but Adrian had found her and accepted her as she was. This time, it wouldn't be any different. She told herself. He loved all of her and she always told the truth. If worst came to it, she could always remember that the men before him had both said she felt good. She had never thought it would help but thinking of their words did give her some courage.

"Hi." He said making her laugh.

"Hi." She said back and kissed him. It was a small peck which he used like a spark to ignite a flame. They kissed and he undressed her. He kissed the side of her forehead and said,"That is the frontal bone."

She closed her eyes and he continued to name the rest of her body. Placing kisses on every part he could get his lips on before naming it. She was delirious with pleasure and she was sure that he had been right; she would never forget this. And every anatomy lesson after that was sure to make her wet. When he had worshipped her beautiful body, he came back to her face where she had her eyes closed and her lower lip between her teeth. It was such an innocent but still sexy sight. How she managed to pull off the two looks together, he would never know.

"Open your eyes." He said and she did. Her lips were swollen and she had a reddish mark on her collar bone. He admired his work. He had marked her as his own.

"Are you okay?" He asked wanting to know if he had triggered any painful memories. He hadn't. With the others it was always like a routine. A kiss in the lips, one touch of her breasts and then straight to the big bang. This was nothing like that. It felt very good and she wanted more. All of him.

"I need to feel you inside me Adrian." She said and guided him to lay on top of her. His weight felt good on her small body. What they were doing or about to do was a mistake but she would gladly live the consequences.

"Are you sure." He asked making her even more certain if that was possible.

"I'm sure." She answered and he kissed her before sinking himself into her sweetness. She was tight and it hurt a little. Feeling her body being stretched. But she wouldn't want it any other way.

"You are so tight." He said against her neck trying to get control so that he wouldn't cause her more pain. He wanted nothing more than to move faster and be all inside her. Leaving no gap between them. But he would wait until she was ready. He would always wait.

"I guess that's good then. So that it will always feel like the first time." She said and moved her hips to pull him inside. He took it as his cue to push himself all in and she gasped. He was so much bigger than she had originally thought. It was uncomfortable at first but he was patient with her. Waiting for her body to adjust itself to him. And soon it was and they moved together. Meeting each other with equal fervor. And finally reaching their high together. It was one of the most beautiful moments of her life. Now she was sure that no man would ever make her rock the way that he did. And she would not care to search because he was all she would ever want to find. Sex before marriage was a sin but was making love? She didn't think so. So she sent a prayer to God. Giving thanks and praying that they would meet again and be together forever. She began to drift into a peaceful sleep.

"I have to go. Keep shining bright in the darkness Moons." She heard him say and was reminded of a triple moon goddess. And she was now okay with him leaving. They both were.

"I'll see you again someday. Thank you for everything my love." She whispered and fell asleep. And as if she needed more to show her that he would always be hers, she had the most wonderful dream.
