  Have His Dick Your Way

  I want my tasty ladies to listen up.

  A change in how women respond to men is here…with or without your consent or awareness. Most men are faithful, yet those same men are not monogamous. There is a difference. If you’re not already on board, I want you to join men and get on the sexual liberation train right now. Cost: free. Well, that’s not completely true. It takes time to perfect being a maneater. First, you’ll have to invest time in honing in on your pussy prowess skills. Pussy rules. Believe that. Hopefully, you are establishing the pace and not allowing men to eat you at their discretion.

  Here’s one of my maneater tips. Buy a dildo—cyber, realistic, ultra—of your liking. Buy a set of BenWa balls and/or Pleasure Pearls. I prefer the pearls because they are plastic coated. These are your pussy aerobic tools. Insert both pearls into your vagina. Then use your dildo to push the pearls into your pussy cul-de-sac. Sit on the edge of a chair, squat, or lie on your back with your knees bent. Tug on the dildo. At the same time squeeze the dildo for resistance. Do three sets, ten repetitions. Next, hands free, push the dildo out using your vaginal muscles. Do the same number of sets and reps. Finally, without using your hands, use your vagina muscles to pull the dildo all the way up inside your pussy or as deep inside of you as you can. Whew! I did say this was pussy aerobics. Don’t be afraid to work up a sweat. You’ll experience the benefits when you can fuck your man or husband by working his dick without moving your ass.

  Maneaters do not attempt to figure men out. Maneaters are well educated about men, hygiene, sex, and how to get what they want—emotionally, physically, and sexually—from a man in and out of bed. First, you must realize dick is succulent, pretty, plentiful, and free. Like selecting beef at the grocery, picking the right piece of meat can be tricky, and if you’re not careful, disastrous. Any man who brags about how good he is in bed is generally a bad fuck who’s trying to talk himself up on your good pussy. My advice is to listen to his lies over a meal. Let him take you out. Enjoy the moment. If the waiter is a sexy guy that you’re attracted to, ask his name, introduce yourself, and then leave your card on the table. If he’s interested, trust me, he’ll call you. At the end of your date, you’ve had a good meal and possibly a better prospect for your next date.

  I don’t care how much money a man spends on you, he is not entitled to your good pussy. You and only you can make that determination. Not him. A good way to tell if a man is passionate about you is to have him start by sucking your freshly washed toes or your fingers. A professional will go for the crevices, the arch, or the palm. Do not take off any of your clothes until you’re 100 percent sure you want him inside of you. If he doesn’t know how to please you with your clothes on, he’s not a good lover.

  Next, safe sex is mandatory. Ladies, always keep a few condoms in your purse. One size fits most, not all. I like lubricated, non-spermicidal Magnum, Lifestyle, and Trojan condoms. Spermicidal condoms reportedly make women more susceptible to urinary-tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. For more information, visit http://www.fda.gov/oashi/aids/condom.html.

  Never have sex with a man who layers his genitals with talcum powder/baby powder. The chemicals in talcum powder may cause uterine cancer. For more information, visit http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/talc.htm. Every woman must take the time to acquire knowledge, then take control of what goes into her vagina and her mouth.

  Your pussy. Your responsibility.

  If you want to keep a man, treat a man like a man. You’ve got to know when to dog him and know when to do him. When to love him and when to kick him. Not literally, but, honey, they all need a strong push once in a while, some more than others. Know when to be nice and when to be naughty. Know when to fuck him and know whether you should feed him. Never cook for a man before he takes you out to eat. The primary dessert a man should lick is your pussy. Don’t be shy. Stroke your pussy with his favorite dessert.

  Oh, ladies…never serve what you wouldn’t eat, okay?

  Never let a man play you twice. Yep, everybody plays the fool sometimes. I’ve ridden that train before, with a one-way ticket to his world, and the return trip was to my destination, not back to his bullshit. Only a foolish woman gets dogged out all the time, and I pray you’re not that type of woman.

  No matter how pissed off you get, you’ve got to maintain your cool. Some men love when a woman gets jealous—when she curses, cries, screams, threatens the other woman. Those types of men do not love you. If they did, they wouldn’t relish watching you suffer. Men with shallow egos thrive on attention. Don’t hate on him, and never chase him, especially if you catch him with another woman. Fuck whether or not he has a big dick; he’s not the only big-dick man hangin’ around. All men are trainable. Trust me, I know. Your goal is to reform, not conform.

  A real maneater never cheats, creeps, or sleeps on her man. She doesn’t have to. She’s in complete control, and she keeps her options open. Cheating is a state of mind, not a state of doing. A maneater has got a dick at home and a dick on the side. A dick at work and a dick buri
ed in the dirt in case she needs to be boned. Maneaters are never desperate to have a man.

  Men think that they’re in high demand, and therefore that women should cater to them. Not true. There may be a shortage of men, but there is no shortage of sex. Whether he likes it or not, you call the shots…and sometimes that means walking away from a man who believes he’s better than you.

  Ladies, be crazy in love with your pussy, and he will be, too. You are in charge. But you don’t have to wear the pants to exhibit your pussy power. All you need is knowledge of the man/men you’re interested in.

  The top three requirements for being a maneater are:

  Knowledge

  Confidence

  Passion

  That’s it.

  These are the key elements to an overall happy and successful life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a size 2 or 22; knowledge, confidence, and passion are sexy and often intimidating. Intimidation utilized properly is a benefit to women. A self-assured woman who loves herself, loves her body, and can talk openly about sex commands a man’s attention. Even if he acts like he’s not interested, trust me, he is. Don’t be shy. Controlling men adore shy women. If any man has the desire to dominate you, tell him to get a dog. Seriously.

  Ladies, have his dick your way…24/7.

  Chapter 1

  Seven

  “Lose the weight, or the wedding is off.”

  What the hell did he just say to me? The air in my lungs caught in my throat, struggling to escape. Where did his unwarranted demand come from? His words echoed like ping-pong balls, slamming against my temples fast and furious. I took a deep breath, restraining from screaming in his face. Forget that. Why should I be the sensible one?

  “You didn’t say that last night, when I was sucking your dick!”

  Casually, he said, “Timing would’ve been off. Agree?”

  I was in shock, a quiescent mime unable to respond.

  Ping-pong! Round after round. Somebody please stop the ricochets!

  Sitting in silence, I prayed, Give me a sign that this is an April Fool’s joke in the middle of October. Someone please drop a coin in the invisible metal bucket perched at my feet, triggering him to say, “Baby, I was kidding. I love you just the way you are.” Motionless, breath trapped inside my throat, I waited and waited and waited. He didn’t speak a word.

  Mama used to tell me, “Don’t be an angry woman. Be a thinking woman. If you feel pressured, silence yourself, take a few deep breaths, and think about what is best for you.”

  As silence filled the air, we emotionally drifted apart.

  Swallowing the despair clawing at me, I mustered myself and said, “I can’t breathe.” Claustrophobia overwhelmed me, causing me to lose my composure and slump into the sofa beside my callous fiancé.

  All I’d done since he’d proposed was joyfully plan our perfect wedding. Two years living together, the last year engaged, and this was his way of calling off the wedding? Sweat seeped between and underneath my thighs, soaking my black Chicago Bears panties. I’d understand his behavior if we’d argued, fought.

  Was his love a façade?

  I loved this man with all my heart, my being, my soul. But that’s my fault, not his.

  “Who?” I dreaded asking what I had to know. “Is she prettier? Smaller? Smarter? Is she better than me in bed? I can please you more. Do some other things if you’d like. Anything. I’ll do anything to make this…work.” The words strangled me with desperation. Fear of losing the man I loved to another woman consumed me. “Who is she? Please tell me.”

  No woman was a bigger freak than me. My big, delicious caramel titties with bubble-gum-sized nipples had easily sandwiched many dicks when I was in high school and in college. I’d done things to make grown men cry like babies. A few women, too. I could prove it to him. Right here. Right now. I called myself being safe. Careful not to scare him away, I’d reserved my best bedroom skills to blow his mind on our honeymoon in St. Barts.

  He remained stoic, gazing out of the living-room window, beyond Highway 41, to the blue waters of Lake Michigan. Flatly, Maverick said, “There is no she. All you need to know is you mean the world to me.”

  I scratched the brow above my twitching left eye. Maverick hadn’t witnessed the best or worst of what I could offer him. Think, Seven. Think. “You can’t be serious,” I said faintly, lightly strumming my numb jaw. “Something or someone changed you overnight. You don’t love me like you used to. Last night, the sex, my updating you on our wedding plans, then our watching the presidential debate, I had no idea. No clue you felt this way. What’s wrong with my body?”

  I sat up straight, rubbed my stomach, swallowed air while forcing back tears. I nervously tugged a fistful of my long, curly hair. “I thought you liked my body. You’ve never complained before. There has to be someone else. Is she younger? Older? Or are you tripping off of your father again? He’s dead, honey. Stop letting him ruin your life from his grave.”

  His parents and mine were deceased. I couldn’t imagine any parent being as cruel as Maverick said his dad was to him. We were both only children. I had one best friend, Zena, and he had two close friends from high school. At times Maverick acted more like a child than a grown man. Nothing was ever his fault. I had to think my way out of what was bothering him.

  Last night, Obama made me believe change was good and that all things were possible. McCain made me fear four more years of a Republican administration, declining property values, vanishing stocks, bank failures, homes foreclosing, more major companies and small businesses filing for bankruptcy, and diminishing 401Ks forcing retirees back to work.

  At this moment, Maverick made me think I’d slept in the same bed for two years with a complete stranger. While the economy was unpredictable, my relationship was supposed to be recession-proof. So I’d thought. Foolish me. I wasn’t giving up on him.

  “Ouch.” I touched my bottom lip, glanced at my finger, and rubbed the speck of blood on my white Devin Hester jersey. Disappointment layered my sadness with disgust. The slits of my lids narrowed, shrinking his six-foot frame to the three inches he made me feel. Scooting to the opposite end of the apricot-tinted Italian leather sofa, I stared at my fiancé. My palms ached to slap him upside his shiny bald head.

  His rejection overwhelmed me. For the first time in my life, I felt fat. Miserable. Dirty. Sticky.

  Don’t slap his selfish ass. Calm down. You are not a violent person. You’re just upset. Maybe this is some sort of last-minute pass or fail test from him. The kind that reassures him he’s not about to marry a woman who is violent or vindictive.

  Finally, he answered, “I’m dead serious.” He pulled from his pocket a pair of my yellow Lycra boy-cut underwear with SWEETER THAN HONEY embroidered in
gold across the pubic area.

  Sideswiped by premeditated premarital sabotage, I tried my best not to look at him. I might go off.

  Why’d he have to pick the yellow ones? Any other color would’ve appeared smaller. Black. Red. Snatching the drawers from him, I threw them in his beautiful brown-sugar face, then watched them fall to his lap. A well-trimmed shadow beard trailed a thin line from his ears to his chin, framing his succulent lips with a perfectly aligned goatee, a replica of G. Garvin’s. I shouldn’t have prepared so many of Gerry’s mouthwatering recipes. Too late to regurgitate any of the carbs from my hips. Fat cells had already doubled, tripled, inviting cellulite to the sides and backs of my thighs.

  Maverick’s stern demeanor hadn’t wavered.

  A bottle of tequila would help me through a liposuction procedure, a few hCG injections, laser cellulite treatments, and a series of body wraps. A quick fix might salvage our relationship or keep me from…

  Quietly I stood, went upstairs to his library, removed the shoe box from the top shelf. I held Maverick’s prized possession in my hand. Cold, heavy like my heart. I placed the gun in my laptop bag, closed and locked the safe, then returned to the living room. Here I was, not married yet, already fighting to hang on to my man. I sat beside him. He was not leaving me. Not alive.
