Free Take My Hand (Interracial Erotic Romance) by Sophia Banks Page B

Are you ready to depart?”
    Gracie walked towards the back of the limo and smiled. She doubted she would ever get used to somebody opening and closing door for her. “Yes Paul, I am ready to depart.”
    Paul smiled and opened the rear passenger door. Tyler’s backlit silhouette spilled onto the street. “Right this way, Ms. Johnson.”
    Gracie walked towards the door and pulled to a stop. “Paul, can you do me a favor?”
    “Of course, Ms. Johnson. What do you need?”
    Gracie smiled. “Please stop calling me Ms. Johnson. I prefer Gracie, if that’s okay with you.”
    Paul nodded his head. “That’s quite alright with me, Ms. Gracie.”
    Gracie rolled her eyes and smiled. “Thanks, Mr. Paul.”
    Paul smiled and Gracie entered the limo. Tyler was sitting inside, reading a book. He looked up at Gracie. “Did everything go well?” he asked.
    Gracie sat across from him and smiled. “After a few gallons of tears, yes, everything went well.”
    Tyler smiled. “Good, I’m glad. Would you like a glass of water?”
    “How about a something a little stronger?”
    “Sure thing. How about some OJ and vodka?”
    Gracie shrugged and sunk into the plush leather seat of the limo. “Anything with some bite to it will do.”
    With practiced ease Tyler mixed her drink and poured it into a Collins glass. He offered the drink to Gracie and she took it. Their fingers touched and Tyler looked into her eyes. “Would you like to be driven to your cousins house or your apartment? You’ve had a tough day and I imagine you’re ready for bed.”
    Gracie took a long pull of her drink and looked into Tyler’s dreamy eyes before answering. She was totally unprepared for his entrance into her life, but now she wasn’t sure how she would survive without him. All her life Gracie had wanted a strong man to look after her and it finally seemed her prayers had been answered. With Tamika safely tucked away, Gracie decided it was time she took care of some of her own aches. And she had a lot of them.
    “Actually Tyler, if you don’t mind I prefer to not be alone tonight.”
    Tyler smiled. “I don’t mind at all.”

    “So, how do you like the place?” Tyler asked.
    Gracie looked out over the city in awe. Tyler’s penthouse, located atop the Omni building, offered a breathtaking panoramic view of the Big Apple. “This view is amazing,” she gasped. “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
    Tyler shrugged. “You’ve never been to the top of the Empire State Building? The view is similar.”
    Gracie nodded. “Except the Empire State Building doesn’t have leather couches for you to lay on.” She looked Tyler in the eyes and smiled. “And the company isn’t as pleasant.”
    Tyler draped his arm around Gracie’s shoulder and pulled her close. “I’m glad you’re here, Gracie. Really glad.”
    Gracie melted in his arms. “Me too, Tyler. Me too.”
    Tyler stepped behind Gracie and began massaging her shoulders. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. “You’re beautiful Gracie Johnson, are you aware of that?”
    Gracie giggled. “Stop it, Tyler. You’re just horny.”
    Tyler buried his thumbs between Gracie’s shoulder blades and began rotating them clockwise. Gracie moaned and let out a gasp.
    “Tyler, what are you doing to me?”
    Tyler kept digging his thumbs deeper into Gracie’s back. “I am massaging your back. Does it not feel good?”
    Gracie moaned and placed her hands against the window. Her breath fogged up the section she was looking out. “It feels great, Tyler. Please, don’t stop.”
    Tyler 's hot breath tickled Gracie’s ear. “I didn’t intend to.” His hands worked upwards and began massaging Gracie’s neck. Slowly, he walked forward and pressed his hardness against the Gracie’s backside.
    Gracie, sandwiched between the cool glass of the window and Tyler’s hot, hard body, moaned. “Tyler, please don’t hurt me. I have never done this before.”
    Tyler reached
