    About this ebook

    Claudia Brown is a successful English professor with the perfect life. One trap she swore to avoid was marriage. To her, a one-night stand was the preferred modus operandi. But when Claudia realizes she could grow old alone, she decides to have a baby—minus the attachment of the father. She picks the perfect specimen: Robert Sterling, a fellow professor. But she never factored in the one thing that could threaten her entire operation—falling in love with Robert.

      NEVER IS NOT FOREVER

      Claudia Brown made the perfect life for herself, full of all the trappings of success. She put herself through school and became the youngest English department chairperson at the University of Pennsylvania. One trap she swore to avoid was marriage. To her, a one-night stand was the preferred modus operandi. But when Claudia realizes she could grow old alone, she decides to have a baby—minus the attachment of the father. After a meticulous search she finds the perfect specimen: Robert Sterling, a fellow professor. But she never factored in the one thing that could threaten her entire operation—falling in love with Robert.

      Chapter One

      Claudia Brown was horny. The combination of good wine, male pheromones and aftershave—not to mention the fact she couldn’t remember the last time she’d even had sex—was all it took. Okay, Darnell was hot with a decent body that towered well over her 5’11" frame and that was a plus. Personally, she hated talking to the bald spots on little men. And the fact that she didn’t mind looking at his handsome face with those soft molasses-colored eyes of his didn’t hurt, either.

      By the time Darnell drove her home, she was primed and ready to jump his bones. Judging by the smoldering kiss he gave her at the apartment door, she could tell he was ripe for conquest and went in for the kill.

      Would you like to come inside, Darnell, for a nightcap?

      His answer was a wide gotcha-grin revealing a set of nearly perfect white teeth making her stop and wonder exactly who the real shark was in her little scenario.

      Nice crib, he said as his gaze traveled around the living room taking in the comfortable chairs and a sofa in soft earth-tones.

      Watching him; gauging his reaction, Claudia took off her coat. Thanks. Make yourself at home. Figuring some nice mood music would complement things, she went over to the stereo and selected an Alicia Keys CD and popped it in the player. Then she headed toward the kitchen for the bottle of wine she had chilling in the refrigerator.

      When she returned holding two glasses, Darnell had taken her up on the suggestion and had removed his sports jacket. She couldn’t help but notice how his shirt hugged his wide, hard chest. They sat facing each other on the sofa sipping their wine. Then Darnell put his glass down on the coffee table and reached for hers, placing it on the table beside his. Let’s dance, Claudia, he said, stretching out his hand.

      Claudia took his hand. They rose from the sofa together and she melted into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her ass and pushed her bottom firmly into his cock bulge. Her immediate response was to rub herself against him. For her, it was a win-win situation and she definitely enjoyed her half of the results.

      As they slow-danced in place to the mellow vocal strains of Alicia, Claudia ran her restless hands up and down his hard, muscled back. His response was to sweep her long black hair to the side enabling him to nuzzle her neck a few moments before seeking out her lips. The man was definitely a good kisser. He outlined her waiting lips with the tip of his tongue before covering her mouth with a heart-stopping kiss that nearly sucked all the breath out of her. When his lips were finished with Claudia’s mouth, it felt on fire and that wasn’t the only place within her heating up.

      Claudia repositioned her legs in order to rub her entire pussy on his now straining cock bulge. So she’d be able to feel his hot flesh, she tugged the back of his shirt out from his slacks. Darnell slipped his hands under her sweater seeking out her breasts which were already aching for his touch. He pushed the lacy cups aside and began to caress them. Wanting him to have total access to them, Claudia moved back away and pulled the sweater over her head and unclasped her bra, tossing both items onto the sofa.

      Darnell smiled and said, Beautiful, baby girl, before he closed his large hand over her left breast and began to suckle at her right one.

      Claudia moaned and raked his back with her nails. He was driving her slowly crazy as he first gently lathered her nipple with his tongue before nipping at it. Her juices, which had been simmering within her, were now pooling in her panties and her blood was beginning to boil. She grabbed the zipper on his slacks and slipped it down, freeing his beautiful, hard cock. She covered its head with her hand and stroked it down to his balls and then back up again. Darnell made a growling sound deep in his throat.

      His hands were now buried under her skirt, slowly feeling their way up her long, coffee au lait legs, his fingers skimming the bottom of her panties. Claudia made things easier for him by removing her skirt and slipping out of her panties. His eyes were now riveted to her naked body as he opened his slacks and stepped out of them. Then Darnell scooped her up in one fluid motion and carried her into the bedroom where he placed her lightly on top of the bed. She leaned on an elbow and watched as he removed the rest of his clothes.

      He had a beautiful body. It wasn’t overly muscled, but hard
