"So you like?"

"It's great AJ."

"Good, cause its yours."

"WHAT!"

"You need a place to stay."

Grace interrupted, "AJ I'm gong to FSU."

"But you really want to be here at Miami."

"So?"

AJ said, "You got accepted here. Now you can go here with scholarships to boot."

"AJ I said I would pay my way."

"I know. Damn it Grace you will pay for school."

"But you're buying this condo for me. No!"

"I've wanted a place here in Miami for awhile. I will be spending more time down here."

"That's good. I will be in Tallahassee."

"NO!"

"YES! You know the only reason you are buying this place is for me. AJ I really appreciated it, but I can't let you do it."

"Well Miss Smarty Pants, I'm not just buying it for you. You remember me telling you Howie and I have been talking about opening a club together?"

v "Yeah."

"We've been looking at property here in Miami. We want to open something in South Beach."

"Really?"

"Yes. Pooh I won't lie to you. You being down here is added incentive, but we really have been planning this club. The good thing about you being here is the place will be used more."

"And if I said I'm still going to FSU?"

"I'd say if you insist, but I ain't openin' no club in Tallahassee. Seriously, Pooh you would go here if you could afford it. If you don't have to pay rent then you can afford tuition."

"AJ?"

"Yes?"

"I love you," she said as she launched herself at him. He laughed as she kissed his face and said, "I take it Miami has a new student."

"Yes! Thank you!"

"Anything for my Pooh. I love you Grace."

Grace looked at him for a minute, before pulling his mouth to hers. She trailed kisses to his neck. AJ moaned when he felt her teeth scrape across his skin. He growled when she sucked on the spot at the base of his throat. He tangled his fingers in her wavy hair and pulled her mouth back to his, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Grace wrapped a leg around his and massaged the back of his calf. Her nails were lightly raking down his arms. He broke the kiss and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he pushed her back against the nearest wall. Her fingers found his hair as his lips found her collarbone.

"Excuse me."

"Wha.Oh. Hey."

"Mr. McLean I'm sorry to interrupted. Do you need more time to look around?"

"No," said an embarrassed Grace. AJ sat her down gently.

"Nah Patrice. My Pooh likes the place so I will take it if we can agree on a price. Send everything to my attorney's office and we well get back to you by the end of the week."

"Wonderful! I will have those papers taken over this afternoon."

"Thanks. Come on Pooh. It's lunch time," said AJ. "See ya Patrice."

They had lunch then spent the afternoon at the University of Miami getting Grace registered and picking up her books.

Beside the scholarship money, Grace had some money saved from her work study program from the year before. She was excited after talking with her advisor, because he had informed her that she would be able to concentrate on the music requirements. Her pre-med credits transferred and cover all the other courses required for her degree. This meant she could be done in 2 years max.

The evening was spent club hopping. AJ wanted to check out the competition. He was finding it harder and harder to not push things with Grace. She was such an intoxicating combination of innocence and sass. The dress she was wearing wasn't helping matters either. Of course it was his own fault. He had bought it for her. It was a red dress of lightweight silk. It had tiny straps and a short, full skirt. It was the skirt that was his torment tonight. He was caught off guard the first time she had twirled in it. It had lifted high enough to expose her panties. God how he loved her ass. He knew Grace was unaware of what she was showing. Or so he assumed.

The last place they visited was a salsa club. AJ took full advantage of the music to pull Grace against him and move to the music. At one point, AJ had pulled Grace's bottom against him and there was no way she could miss the effect their closeness was having on him. She turned and pulled him close wrapping her leg around him. He moaned and pulled her from the dance floor. She giggled as the exited they club.

"Woman you were not playing fare," scolded AJ as they waited for the valet to bring the car.

"I know."

"You little tease."

"Yep."

"Oh you wait until I get you back to the hotel," said AJ, as the valet pulled up with the car.

"That's what I'm waiting for," replied Grace as she walked around to her side.

"What do you want Pooh," said AJ.

Grace looked at him over the hood of the car and said, "I want you to take me back to the hotel and make love to me."

AJ's mouth fell open as she got in the car. The valet smiled at him as he walked back around the car. AJ tipped him and got in. All the way back to the hotel, he kept praying nothing would delay their arrival. Once in the room, AJ looked at Grace. She walked across the room, turning on the radio. She found a song she liked and twirled for him. His eyes were concentrated on seeing what was exposed, when he lifted his eyes to her face he saw the smirk.

"Pooh you knew?"

"Yes. I realized it when I spun around in here. You were in the shower. I made sure nothing um. important was showing. You sure had fun spinning me tonight."

"Hell yeah," he said closing the space between them. "Pooh you sure you're ready?"

"Yes," she whispered before kissing him.

"I love you Pooh."

"I love you Alex."

"Said it again," moaned AJ as his mouth moved to her ear.

"I love you Alex."

"Grace," he breathed.

He backed her to the bed, gently laying her down. He reached for her right ankle and removed her shoe. With her ankle on his shoulder he massaged her leg. She sighed as he repeated the massage on the other leg. When he lay her leg down, she sat up and pulled at his wife-beater. He helped her pull it off. Her hands ran over his chest and abs. She felt him shiver when she traced the 69 around his belly button. She looked up puzzled.

"You do things to me and don't even try."

"Oh I'll try," said Grace.

She leaned forward and traced the tattoo with her tongue.

"Damn woman," said AJ as he tangled his fingers in her hair.

"Feel good," asked Grace.

AJ felt her tongue slip inside his belly button and moan," Oh Pooh do that again."

She complied. He moaned and arched against her mouth. He felt her pull away and he looked down. She was loosening his belt. She undid his pants as he kicked off his shoes. She pulled off his boxer with his pants. She looked up into AJ's eyes. He smiled encouragement. She ran her hands down his body. Her hands slipped behind him and ran over his rear end. She let her nails drag along his skin when her hand moved to his front. She looked at his hard shaft. She began to stroke him. He was moving with her. Suddenly he pulled her hand away.

"I did it wrong," asked Grace.

"No baby you were doing it too right. We would have been done before we started."

"Oh," she said and then thought for a moment. "Well couldn't we start again?"

AJ laughed, "Yes, but I don't want to start again just yet. Besides I believe you have entirely too many clothes on."

Grace smiled. AJ leaned down and kissed her, pulling her to her feet. He caught the hem of her dress and in an instant it was on the floor. Grace lay back on the bed. AJ's eyes moved over her body. She was perfectly proportioned. He loved her curves. Lying beside her he kissed between her breast. She arched her back. He allowed his hand to play over her stomach then move to her legs. She was moving under his hand. He lay his hand on the silky material of her panties, but didn't move it. Grace bit her bottom lip. AJ brushed his lips against hers.

"Pooh want more."

She breathlessly responded, "yes."

"Anything for my Pooh."

He raised his hand up her body. Both his hands slid behind her and unhooked the clasp of her bra. Soon it hit the floor. AJ looked at Grace. Seeing her breast made him want to see all of her. He removed her panties then ran his eyes over her body again. He realized if he had ever seen her this way before they would have done this a long time ago. He captured her mouth in a breathtaking kiss as his hands explored her body.

Grace's mind was spinning. She never knew it could feel like this, but she wanted more. AJ's hands and mouth were intoxicating. Any apprehension she had about pleasing him went out of her head. She realized she was pleasing AJ by allowing him to please her.

AJ had buried his mouth against her neck. He felt her fingers in his hair. He moved his mouth lower, kissing his way to her left nipple. She moaned as she felt his tongue. She moaned again when his mouth moved to her other breast. His right hand moved lower on her body, slipping between her legs. Her wetness caused him to moan. He slipped a finger inside her. She was so tight. He didn't want to hurt her. He began to move his finger inside her. Her body arched then began to move with him. Her hands moved to his shoulders, which she gripped tightly. She gasped when she felt him insert another finger. Grace took his face in her hands, kissing him.

She broke the kiss saying, "I need you so bad. I want to know what it feels like."

"I know Pooh. I do too, but I don't want to hurt you."

"Please Alex. I need to feel you inside me," she finished and kissed him hard.

AJ groaned and lay on top of her. He moved between her legs. He reached under the pillow and retrieved the condom he had placed there when joining her on the bed. She watched fascinated as he put it on. She had never seen someone put one on, because she had never let it get this far with anyone else. Once the condom was on AJ positioned himself again. He allowed his hardness to rub against her. Using her wetness to lubricate the latex covering his hard shaft even more.

"Pooh I promise to go slow and be gentle. If it gets uncomfortable you've gotta tell me. I will stop pushing. OK?"

"OK."

"I love you so much."

"I love you too. Please Alex."

"God I love when you call me Alex."

"Please Alex."

AJ slowly rocked against her. He would push inside her slightly then pull back. He repeated this motion several times, pushing into her farther every few strokes. Grace began to respond with thrusts of her own. AJ could not get over how tight she was. A thin layer of sweat covered his body, because he was working hard to maintain control. He wanted to be buried inside her completely. Grace could feel him stretching her. She was amazed at the feeling. Once completely buried inside her he didn't move for a minute. His face was buried in her hair.

"Alex are you OK."

"Oh yeah. Pooh you feel so good."

"So do you."

He began to move. As he thrust into her slowly, she brought her legs up. AJ moaned and thrust into her again grinding his body against her. He continued to do this with each thrust. AJ kissed her then his mouth found her breasts again. He listened to her moan as he teased her nipples. She licked and sucked on his neck. He moaned her name when she tugged on his earlobe. As he felt his release close he thrust deep into her and ground against her most sensitive flesh. He watched as she climaxed. He continued to move against her as she moaned his name. He could hold back no more and released into her. Breathing heavy he collapsed on her and she held him close. She placed small kisses on his shoulder and neck. AJ turned his head and kissed her softly. He pulled out of her and removed the condom. He lay down and pulled her to him.

Looking into her eyes, he said, "hi."

"Hi," she replied with a smile.

"You OK?"

"I'm more than OK. You?"

"More than OK. Grace I love you so much."

"Me too. Thank you."

"Why?"

"I asked you to bring me back here and make love to me. Boy did you."

"No Pooh. We made love."

"Yeah I guess we did."

AJ yawned, "Pooh you wore me out."

"And we only did it once," teased Grace.

"Trust me I will make it up to you tomorrow."

"Good."
