EXCERPT 

'Did you mean what you said when you said that I could talk to you about anything?'

'Of course I did.'

'Okay I need to talk.'

'I'm listening.'

'I thought about what you said and I want to do something special for Terry to try and bring us closer together, and since you and he seem to be really tight, I thought maybe you can give me some suggestions.'

'Stephanie I don't think that I'm the right person for you to be having this conversation with.'

'So you didn't mean what you said? I knew you were full of it.  I don't know why I even bothered to call you Justin; you're just like all the rest.  I thought you were different but I guess I was wrong.'

'Stephanie you're not being fair.  Yes, I did say you can talk to me about anything, but there are some things that should not be discussed with an outsider, and one of those things is your marriage.  Besides, I'm not sure I can be impartial.  I care too much about you.'

'Really?'

'Really. But I will keep my promise that I made to you, and since you need someone to talk to, I'm your man.  What do you want to know?'

'Well for starters, how can I get Terry to notice me? What do I need to do to make myself irresistible to him or any man for that matter?  I want to take our relationship to new heights; I want to please him in bed.'

'Stephanie that is a tall order. Why are you asking me this? When did I become an authority on love making or relationships?'

'Justin, everyone knows that you are the ladies man. You've seen how jealous all the girls were at you and Rhonda's wedding, they were salivating over you.  Every girl in that room wanted a piece of you.'

'Every girl?'

'Hell yeah every girl.  If I wasn't already married to the second sexiest man in the room, I may have been jealous too. So come on, tell me what turns you on, and maybe I can use it on Terry.'

'I don't know Stephanie that could be pretty dangerous.'

'What do you mean dangerous?  I want some advice Justin, what can be dangerous about that? I'm not asking you to sleep with me; I just want to know what turns a man on so that I can turn Terry on.'

'I don't know what will work for Terry, I can only tell you what would turn me on.'

'Okay then, if I was your woman, what would I need to do to make you happy?'

'Stephanie, if you were my woman, just being in your presence would make me happy.'

'Justin stop playing and be serious.'

'I can't be serious Stephanie, this is making me uncomfortable.  I should not be discussing sex with you.'

'Even if it's for a good cause?'

'Stephanie...'

'Okay fine Justin, if you won't tell me I will have to find someone else who will.'

'What do you mean by that?'

'I mean, there are plenty of brothers out there who would jump at the chance to teach me how to love my husband right.'

'Stephanie, there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there; you're going to get yourself hurt.'

'Then you show me.'

'Okay, I'll show you how to make Terry fall in love with you again, but you have to do everything I tell you to do, and don't deviate from a single thing.  Follow my orders exactly, do you understand?'

I was so happy to hear that Justin was going to help me that I shouted in the phone hurting his ear.  This was going to be the best night that Terry and I have had in a long time.  The kids were spending the night with my mother and Terry and I would have the house all too ourselves. 

I hung up with Justin after getting his instructions, and I headed off to Victoria Secrets at the Livingston Mall.  I found the perfect negligee, bright red and see through with a matching red thong. While I was at the mall, I dropped into Macy's and pick up a new set of Red satin sheets to get us in the right mood.  Next I was off to Pathmark to grab two Porter House steaks and some fresh vegetables to go with the baked potatoes that I planned to prepare with butter cream and chives, as Justin suggested.  My last stop was to St Cloud Wine and Liquors on Northfield Ave in West Orange  to pick up their finest bottle of champagne, Moet Chandon White Star Champagne, which the store clerk said was perfect for an intimate dinner for two.

I couldn't wait to get home to take a hot luxurious bath and prepare the room for our night of love.  I changed the sheets and sprayed the bed and the room with Lavender Aromatherapy spray that I purchased at the Bed & Bath while at Livingston Mall. Next I prepared dinner and sent Terry a text message on his cell phone asking him to come home early because I had something special planned. Then I changed into my red negligee and matching thong panties that I purchased from Victoria's Secret, set the champagne in the ice bucket to chill, put on the newest Luther Vandross CD and waited for Terry to get home.

Tonight was going to be on.  I arrived at my Recording Studio in Livingston in record time, but not before stopping at a neighborhood liquor store to pick up a bottle of Dom Perignon.  I put the bottle on ice and proceeded to prepare my private love nest in anticipation of Felicia's arrival. 

I had to get the mood right so I dimmed the lights, spread the king sized honey colored sheepskin short wool under blanket on the makeshift Bed that lay on the floor in a room off to the back of my studio. Next I pick out the perfect CD, Felicia's favorite, 'Out of The Blue', by Maysa and placed it into the CD player along with four other Jazz CD's, to keep the music going all night.  I jumped into the shower, and let the warm water hit me in the face, making sure to clear my mind of any thoughts of Stephanie.  I could hear my cell phone beep in my jacket pocket that I had removed and left on the hanging hooks behind the bedroom door.  It was an indication that I had received a text message and I hoped it was not Felicia texting me that she was going to be late. 

I lathered quickly and let the warm water wash away the soapy residue that gathered on my body.  I stood there letting the water run down my bald head and I was grateful that I had decided to shave it all off at Felicia's suggestion. I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower and grabbed the towel that I placed on the chair.  After toweling myself dry, I grabbed my bottle of Samarkande, a gift from Felicia and splashed it over my upper body. Next I put on my red silk robe to match the red silk negligee I just purchased for Felicia.  The door bell rang and I knew it was Felicia because she was right on time.

Just as I let Felicia in, the CD that I had placed in the player had begun and Maysa began to sing.  Felicia walked in and declared that it was her favorite song. I took her by the hand and drew her into me and embraced her. She kissed me passionately on the lips and grabbed my neck and hugged me.

'Terry thank you so much for tonight, I really wanted to be with you,' she said, grateful that I had set aside this night for her. 'No, the pleasure Is mine, I had to make up for the other night when I was so distracted but I promise that there will be no more distractions tonight, tonight it's just you and me, I promise,' I said as I stroked her face.

'Okay now, I don't want to have to compete with Stephanie tonight.'

'I promise, Stephanie couldn't be farthest from my mind.' I took Felicia by the hand and led her into the room that I had prepared for our night of love and handed her the package that I purchased from Victoria's secret. She went into the bathroom to slip it on while I waited patiently for her return.  

Felicia walked into the room wearing the negligee. Her creamy white skin glistened against the red satin and her green eyes sparkled. She looked so beautiful. She walked toward me and I swooped her up in my arms and carried her to the bed and gently laid her down on the soft Sheepskin. The sensual sounds of Maysa echoed softly in the background, perfectly setting the mood.  I kissed her neck and ran my fingers through her thick long brown hair and she let out a moan. She removed my robe and caressed my back.  My pulsating manhood demanded attention and Felicia spread her legs but I didn't want this moment to end and so I willed it to behave as I traced the length of her body with my hands and found her secret garden, moist and ready.

'Take your time,' she said as I made my way down into a blanket of warmth that covered my face. She smelled delicious and I couldn't resist tasting her delicacies, slowly, savoring ever mouth watering piece. She squirmed and moaned and I knew that I was doing everything right. 'Take your time,' she said again and I slowed it down. 'Yes baby, that's it,' she moaned and twisted her body slightly. I continued to feast until my manhood once again demanding attention then I came up from my garden paradise and found my way into Felicia's open arms. She opened her legs and took in all of me.

All five CD's had played and Maysa had began to repeat. 'Wow, this is where I came in,' Felicia said softly.  'I guess we have come full circle. I don't want this to end,' she continued as she took a sip of the Dom. 'You know what they say about good things, it has to end,' I said a little saddened that I had to leave all of this and go home.  But go home I must if I'm going to start working on my marriage. I didn't have the heart to tell Felicia that this would be the last time that we would be together.  I didn't want to spoil this perfect evening so I let it go.

I let Felicia shower first while I straightened up the room. She emerged from the bathroom the same way she had entered earlier that night but her face was a soft glow. She looked incredibly happy, happier than I had ever seen her and much more beautiful.  Letting her go would be the hardest thing I had to do.

When I walked into the house, I noticed the table set for two with our fine china and Italian Crystal glasses.  A bottle of Moet sat in an ice bucket next to the table, but the ice had already melted. A burned out candle sat in the middle of the table between the two plates that had the remains of what looked like dinner. Stephanie was no where in sight.  I walked upstairs to the bedroom and opened the door.  Stephanie lay sleeping on top of red satin sheets, dressed in a sexy red lace, see through negligee. She looked real sexy.  I sat on the bed and nudged her, but she did not awaken.  I looked on the nightstand and noticed an empty bottle of Hennessey and a half empty glass...
