Author's note: I know I said this would be three or four parts last time, but I'm revising that to four or five. Or six. Pretty sure no more than six.
Recap: After a chance street meeting, a kind-of-meek white guy and a part-time-college black woman go back to her place and fuck like weasels. Then they agree to begin a just-for-sex, no-names relationship. They get together the next Saturday morning, when she's still a mess from an out-on-the-town birthday celebration with her best friend. The story picks up just after they've had sex in her shower.

Him
After we dry off, she says she's going to brush her teeth.
"Do you just want to let that coffee go completely cold, then?" I ask as she squeezes toothpaste onto her toothbrush. Her eyes, in the mirror, look from mine to the chalky green gel on the bristles, and she crinkles her nose.
"No, you perked me up, but I'm gonna need that caffeine. How about you go get it ready while I do something with my shit-heap hair."
"Sure," I say, watching her put the loaded toothbrush down and rummage in a drawer full of brushes and hair gizmos I couldn't name the purpose of. "How do you like it?"
"You can't put too much cream and sugar in."
I nod, but I can't take my eyes off her to turn away yet. She's leaning over the drawer rummaging in it, breasts hanging bare and free with the dark nipples pointing down. "Does that mean it's not
possible
to put too much cream and sugar in, or that you don't
want
me to put too much in?"
Her eyes come up from the drawer. "It means get me my fucking coffee with a crap-ton of shit in it or I'ma bite your fucking head off."
I raise my hands, but she grins and laughs and pulls a fat bead-bristled brush from the drawer. "Boy, you scare too easy."
"No, you're just too good at being a bitch, honey. Now does bitch mean real sugar or the fake stuff?"
"Fake stuff tastes like ass."
"That's not an answer. We haven't talked rim-jobs yet ... maybe you like the taste of ass."
She makes a face and turns to me, suddenly just a beautiful, real woman taken off balance. "Ew. Gross. Please tell me you're not into that."
Laughing, I poke her sternum, right between the breasts. "Now who scares too easy? One coffee coming up, cream and sugar, hold the rim-job."
She growls and narrows her eyes, back in character, returning to the mirror and her hair.
In the kitchen, I fix her coffee and mine the same way: sweeter than sweet, several shades paler than her skin. The rasp of the brush through her hair fills my ears as I stir. It's quiet, still too early on a Saturday morning for there to be much activity outside, though her apartment complex sits off of a pretty big street. I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience. This place is so bare. Either she's not a decorator, or she hasn't been here long and doesn't plan on being here long either.
I don't want her to be a decorator.
And not just because I'm not a decorator, but because I want whatever we are right now to last. I came into this woman three times on Wednesday and once this morning, and my life already revolves around her. She's so raw and alive, we're so focused together, so purely and ravenously erotic, that the close, pent blankness of this apartment makes the world of four days ago seem vacuous. Even the wait between Wednesday morning and today, empty of her but bursting with anticipation, excitement, arousal - it felt so much richer than who I had been without her. A voice somewhere inside me keeps saying don't obsess, this is a Bad Idea, you're setting yourself up for a crash down the line.
But the sex-charged air of her apartment won't let me believe it.
She's rolled her brown-and-bronze hair into a topknot by the time I return to the bathroom with our coffees. Her pelvis is up against the edge of the sink and she leans forward, turning her head one way and the other to check her work. It's a plain look. Simple. Functional. Fuck-me
-
able. With one glance, I know she put it up that way because it was quick and easy and practical. And knowing that makes me feel like I know
her
.
At the same time, her pose sticks that sweet round ass out right at me, and I can't help sucking in a breath at the sight of it. She laughs and wiggles her derriere. My cock leaps halfway to attention.
I clear my throat. "Stop that and drink your coffee or I'm not going to wait for you to drink it."
Turning, she takes the paper cup with its plastic lid from my hand, sips it, then closes her eyes and coos a little as she drinks more.
"Ohh," she says with the cup level but still at her lips. "I needed that."
My own cup is forgotten in my hand. As I stand there in the doorway of her bathroom, looking at her before me naked and unadorned, my conscious mind has completely shut down. She's an African deity, a soft, smooth sculpture in dark flesh, her eyes still closed, her breasts lifting and settling gently as she breathes in through her nose just above the sip-hole of the coffee cup and then sighs out through her mouth.
Her lashes flutter up and those earthy deep eyes find my face.
"You stir a good cup of coffee," she says, twinkling, mischievous. Then her eyes flick downward and she smirks. "Hot coffee get you hot?"
I look down too, to find my dick stabbing straight out at her. I'm kind of surprised and can't think of anything funny to say.
Bending at the waist, she takes me in her free hand, fingers encircling my shaft in a firm grip.
"You like your coffee, mister stir-stick?" she asks it. Somehow my cock gets even harder, the purple head swelling where it juts from her grasp. She's kneeling to the carpet now. "You wanna stir some more creamer in for me?"
She tilts her head and takes a big swig from her cup. Then she looks up at me, eyes blazing, and puts her smiling, pursed lips to my tip.
And sucks me in.
The front half of my cock floats inside her mouth, bathed in not-quite-too-hot liquid. She keeps her eyes on mine and swallows, swallows, drinking down the coffee and bringing her inner cheeks into contact with my shaft.
Then she pulls off me with a pop and fills up from her cup again.
"God, I hope to fuck you're going to do that again."
