Chapter Two

When she arrived at her two bedroom apartment, she walked directly to her bathroom and removed her clothing to take a bath. Her yoga pants and top were in a pile on the floor next to her shoes and socks. Standing in front of the mirror with only her white b*a and panties covering her nakedness, she allowed herself to become excited about the date she was going to. Le Jardin was one of the restaurants she had always wanted to go to, but she had thought that she would never have the opportunity without robbing a bank. Removing her b*a and panties, she tossed them onto the pile of clothes.

Alex walked to the tub and sat down on the side, the cold porcelain caused goose bumps to rise along the length of her figure. Grabbing a bottle of peppermint oil and another bottle of bubbles, she poured a liberal amount into the base of the tub. She turned on the hot water and inhaled deeply as the scent of peppermint filled the room. As she waited, her eyes wandered to a trailing flower tattoo that traveled from her thigh to her hip. A beautiful lily wrapped around her, a small hummingbird drinking nectar from the flower.

Testing the temperature with her fingertips, she slipped into the tub and rested her head against the neck pillow on the back. The warmth embraced her as she breathed in the scented air. White bubbles covered her from her neck to her breasts, each breath causing her chest to rise and fall under the bubbles. Her arms rested on the side of the tub as her feet played with the faucet. With a gentle push, her toes pressed on the handle and the water ceased pouring.

Her mind was excited for the date, but she wanted to return to her meditative state from yoga. Silencing her mind with Anapana, she delved into her breathing and felt only her body against the warmth of the water. Thoughts of William returned to her mind unbidden. Each time she pushed them aside, images of him returned even more vividly.

Absentmindedly, her hands made their way into the water. Her mind was focused on the thought of William; his face above her and his firm body pressed against her. As her right hand traveled from her hips to her thighs, her left hand traveled up to her breasts. Alex's hands explored her body while her mind remained occupied with thoughts of her upcoming date. She hadn’t had s*x since her boyfriend, and they had broken up a few months before.

The scent of peppermint always aroused her. Ever since she got her first apartment, the bathroom had become her own personal sanctuary. Entranced by the scent of peppermint, she had ensured a steady supply of peppermint oil was always next to her tub.

Distracted by her thoughts, Alex suddenly realized that she was touching herself. A soft moan escaped her lips when she realized exactly what she was doing as her fingers gently explored her firm thighs and lips. The thought of being with William filled her mind again and she imagined how he would feel inside of her.

A second moan escaped her mouth as her left hand teased her erect n****e. Again, she moaned as she touched her excited c**t. She imagined being held close to his chest as he was inside of her, and what his kiss would feel like. Ripples danced over the top of the water as her arm moved in a sensual rhythm. Her knees were now resting against the porcelain walls of the tub as her fingers were exploring inside of herself. The warmth of her lubricating juices covered her fingers and the moan of her voice echoed in the tiled bathroom.

Alex's movements quickened as her thoughts explored her limits. ‘What would he want...?’ She wondered to herself. She had only been with black men—and once, a Latino. Alex had never been with a white man, and some of her girlfriends had mentioned that they had unusual interests. There was something different about William, something commanding in his voice that she yearned for.

Her mind was fuzzy while her breath came out quick and uneven. Alex's body moved against her hands, and her face became warm. As her back arched in the water, it released a splash of water and a wave of sensuous peppermint scents. Unable to hold back any longer, Alex cried out in pleasure as her body tightened in o****m. Her fingers continued slowly as her o****m dimmed and with each circle, a wave of unbearable pleasure crossed over her body. Finally, she stopped. Her smile remained on her flushed face and she let herself emit a final moan of satisfaction before forcing her mind to return to a meditative state.

Through the glass window, afternoon sunlight drifted across the room. Alex's eyes tiredly popped open as the rays of sunshine shone into them. Her mind was foggy from her nap, but she began to slowly remember that she had plans for the day. The ticking of the clock caught her attention and made her realize that it was already two in the afternoon. Her comforter fell to the floor as she removed it from her body. The white sheets of her bed stood in stark contrast to her smooth, ebony skin as she allowed the sheets to fall away from her body.

Plush carpet welcomed her toes as she placed her feet on the floor. She stood up and yawned. Walking n***d through her house, she felt comfortable and serene. Her life was going great and was a far cry from the world she came from in the inner city. Today, she had met a handsome white man who, while unusually precise, seemed successful in his business and his life. Steam floated toward the ceiling as she poured a cup of coffee into her mug.

Breathing deeply, she remembered William’s firm chest and his muscles pressing against the fabric of his shirt. Despite her best attempts at remaining calm, the possibility of spontaneous s*x enticed her. Would it be so bad, she thought to herself, if that were to happen? Would anyone really know or care if she gave in on the first date? The only place she ever saw him at was the cafe, and no one there would ever know.

Alex smiled at the thought and continued with her coffee. A dismissive laugh escaped her lips. She may wish to see him in bed, but she had never spontaneously hooked up with anyone. In school, some of the boys had thought her a prude. Alex didn't hate s*x or care about waiting. Really, she just wanted to ensure that the man was worth her time before she slept with him.

Returning to the bedroom, she looked through her closet. For once, the choice was clear. Alex had very few dresses that were fancy enough for Le Jardin. Reaching into the closet, she pulled out her white bandeau chiffon maxi dress and slipped it on. Alex stepped back from the mirror. It coordinated perfectly with her cocoa skin and fell elegantly around her ankles. To match it, she selected a pearl necklace, a diamond bracelet and black-on-white ankle strapped heels. She had meant to wear the outfit to a business dinner to win over a contract, but the actual dinner never occurred. Finally, she would get to wear this dress out.

After putting on her clothes, she began to apply a conservative amount of makeup. Glancing at the clock, she realized that time was quickly running out. Alex let her shoulder-length curls cascade freely down her back. Looking over her reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Alex gave herself a proud wink and walked once again to the kitchen. Time to leave for the restaurant.
