“Ooh.” A moan escaped me as Eli double fisted my dick and pulled me closer. “Don’t worry, bae. I’ma feed you.”
Her smile made my heart skip a beat. She opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out, inviting me in.
A groan escaped me as I fed her my dick.
Head flinging back, my abs clenched as she sucked me in.
Her mouth was warm and wet, just like her fucking pussy.
The second she took me deep down her throat and gripped my balls, I moaned.
Taking a handful of her hair and trying to fuck her mouth didn’t keep me from being under her control.
I let her do her thing until my seeds were shooting down her throat.
As soon as I was composed, I picked her up, wrapped her legs around me, and slid inside the best pussy I’d ever had in my fucking life.
The more I bounced her on my dick, the wetter she got.
The quieter her moans became. The more frequently her whimpers sounded off.
The harder it was for her to breathe. She tightened her grip around my neck.
Our eyes locked briefly before hers rolled into the back of her head. Hearing her moan my name had my dick throbbing inside of her, but I had one more nut left in me, which meant she needed to cum at least twice more.
Pressing her against the wall, I focused on stroking her deeply and brushing against her clit and G-spot at the same time. She trembled against me as she came again.
“I can’t stop cumming,” she whined, back arching off the wall.
“Thank me. Thank me for giving you this good dick.”
“Th-thank you,” she moaned before clawing at my back and cumming again.
That time, a quiet, hard growl escaped me as I came too. I held her up as our bodies jerked and released. Once I set her on her feet, I stumbled toward the bed.
“Damn, Smiley. If that’s how we’re going to be starting our days, I’ma want you to come home with me.”
Her giggle was like music to my ears. What started as us showering and getting ready to get dressed turned into a spontaneous sex session that had my body tingling.
It was day four of our trip, and I wasn’t ready to go home.
Well, I was ready to go home if there was a chance she’d come home with me.
I’d been enjoying the activities and excursions, but more than anything, I was enjoying my time with Eli.
Today, we had a sunrise canoeing session before visiting a private island and doing a dolphin cruise.
Tomorrow we’d chill, swim, and spend the last day here at the spa.
Isaac hadn’t really been bothering either of us up until today, because he’d been enjoying himself in Miami.
Now that he was heading back home, he was worried about what the fuck we had going on.
“You know Isaac will have a fit if I moved in with you.”
“Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking I guess.”
“Maybe, but at least we have two more nights to go to sleep next to each other, and I’ve been loving waking up in your arms.”
“Aight na. Don’t start that sweet shit unless you want us to be late for this first activity. We’re already cutting it close.”
“I knooow, but I couldn’t resist taking you down when you came out the shower, body all glistening and wet. Mm. My man is fine and sexy as fuck. I can’t get enough of you.”
“Your man, huh?”
“Oh.” She smiled bashfully as she sauntered into the bathroom to freshen up. “That’s what I said?”
“It is. It’s true too. I am ya man. Been told your ass that.”
“Mhm,” she replied before sniggling.
Eli was probably the goofiest and happiest person I knew.
Even with the past she had. I loved her happiness, and I loved her beautiful ass smile.
In all honesty, I loved everything about her.
And in all transparency, I loved her. I wanted to tell her that last night while we were slow dancing to a song in our hearts on the beach.
The words were right on the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t want to make her nervous and cause her to shut down on me.
Maybe I’d tell her when all of this was over so she’d remember just how real it was.
For now, I hoped she felt my love through my actions, and I also hoped that was enough.
Rose Valley Hills
I came back home to some semi-good news.
Lauren’s trial was over, and she was sentenced to a year of probation and a five-thousand-dollar fine.
I wanted her ass to have to serve jail time, but since this was her first offense and she made it clear she didn’t know uploading the video of us having sex was not only an invasion of my privacy but also a crime, the judge went easy on her.
I felt like she also got off light because the judge knew I’d be taking her to civil court.
At this point, I wasn’t sure I wanted to sue her anymore.
More than anything, I was ready to move on with my life, and having to do another trial would just be another reminder of the bullshit she did.
There was a part of me that was grateful over how shit played out because it gave me the chance to get closer to and experience Eli, but I didn’t need the constant reminder of what got us to this point.
Justine wanted me to record a statement responding to her sentence, and I told her I would once me and Eli got settled.
She suggested Eli be with me and said she’d send over talking points and a full statement if I wanted her to create it.
I told her she could and that I’d tweak that shit and make it my own.
No sooner than I’d set Eli’s bags in her room, Isaac was making his way inside. He was naturally funny, standing there shirtless rubbing his stomach while eating an apple and looking from me to his sister.
“Y’all have fun?” he asked.
“Lots of fun!” Eli answered before rattling off a full list of the things we did and promising to send him pictures once she was settled.
“What you about to get into?” I asked, looking at the talking points Justine had sent me.
“Shit. Chilling for the day. Wassup?”
“I need you to record a video of me and Eli real quick so I can get this shit over with. I’m not about to wait until we can get a professional to do it.”
His head slowly tilted as he clutched his chest as if I’d offended him. “I might not have gone to school for it, but I’m pretty good at taking pictures and videos.”
“Of food,” I clarified, smiling as Eli laughed.
“He’s got you there, Junior. I don’t think anyone is topping your food videos, but you take horrible pictures of people when they ask you to. All you do is stand there and snap. You don’t try to get the right angle or nothing.”
“Aye, that’s for y’all to decide. Then you be asking about the lighting and shit. Wanting me to squat and stand on tables around this bitch. I’on be having time for all that.”
“You are so dramatic,” she said through her giggle.
“Whatever. That’s all you have to say because you know I’m right.”
I did an Irish goodbye and let them do their thing.
Even without them saying it, I knew they missed each other.
That kind of made me feel bad. Was having her worth potentially coming between her and her brother?
Logically, I could tell myself it was her right to create her own family with whomever she wanted, regardless of the family she was born into.
I could also tell myself if he chose not to support our relationship, that was on him.
But the truth was, I started this shit, getting close to her, knowing I shouldn’t have, so I couldn’t blame Isaac even if I wanted to.
About ten minutes later, they both were making their way down.
Eli sat next to me, and I showed her the talking points so she’d know what I was about to say.
I still planned to speak from the heart and freestyle the shit, but I’d stick to the topics and be professional so I wouldn’t have to hear Justine’s mouth.
Both Eli and my team had been working hard as hell fixing what other people had broken, and I didn’t want to say or do anything that would make it worse.
She yawned, and I instinctively tossed my arm over her shoulder and gave her a temple kiss. “I’ma make this quick so you can go to sleep, aight?”
“Okay. I’m just glad it’s over and you can put this behind you.”
“Same.” I agreed, removing my arm as Isaac fiddled with the tripod Eli had given him.
“Aight, I got it. I’ma count you down, bruh,” he said, and I relaxed in my seat.
When he got down to two, I took Eli’s hand into mine.
“Wassup, y’all? It’s ya favorite wide receiver coming at you with a quick update and anticipated response.
If you’ve been following me for the last couple of months, you know what transpired right after the Super Bowl between me and a young lady named Lauren Summers.
She was sentenced to a year of probation and got a fine.
I’m supposed to say I’m cool with that and that justice has been served.
I’m also supposed to say I hope my personal experience inspires anyone with wealth, fame, and power, to make better decisions.
To be even more careful of who you allow around you.
“But the truth is, it doesn’t matter what you do.
You can’t control the actions of others.
Instead, I’ll say make sure you surround yourself with people who have the same integrity and principles as you.
” I looked over at Eli, then lifted her hand and kissed it.
“The one great thing about this whole ordeal has been getting closer to my best friend and teammate’s sister, singing sensation Eli Tate.
She’s shy and won’t want me putting the spotlight on her, but I do want to publicly say I appreciate you.
You’ve helped me more than you know. I wasn’t expecting to come out of this with a new best friend but—”
“Wow,” Isaac said with a shake of his head, making us both laugh.
“That’s number thirteen, y’all, the infamous Isaac Tate.
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, you’re my newest best friend, and I hope I’ve added the same value to your life over the last two months as you’ve added to mine.
You are so sweet, kind, fun, smart, talented, and beautiful.
My life has been filled with peace, happiness, acceptance, support, and love, and I’ve never known how that felt until feeling it with you.
The world might have seen you during one of your darkest moments, but you are light, and don’t ever forget that. I love you, Eli.”
She squeezed my hand gently as her eyes watered. “I love you too. It’s been my pleasure getting to know you more intimately, and everything you said I’ve been to you, you’ve been to me, and then some. I hate what they did to me, but I’m glad it led me to this moment with you.”
I bobbed my head and clenched my jaw, because that was the only thing that could keep me from kissing her.
“Aight, y’all. Peace and blessings, and as always . . .” They both joined in when I said, “Built to demolish!” I ended the video with, “See y’all soon in the wrecking zone!”
“That was good, my boy. Hopefully this will be a valuable lesson for anyone planning to try and do what she did,” Isaac said.
He told me he sent the video, and I thanked him before standing so I could leave.
“Y’all get some rest,” I said, looking down at Eli. She looked like she had something on her mind, but I wouldn’t press her in front of her brother. “You good?”
“Yes,” she almost whispered. “I forgot I have your charger from the ride back home. Come get it before you go.”
“We still on to work out tomorrow, or do you need a break?” I asked Isaac, knowing how he turned up when he went to Miami.
“I’ll be good to go. I got an IV session scheduled in the morning.”
“Aight, cool.”
I followed Eli upstairs to her room, and when she handed me the charger, she didn’t release it immediately. Instead, she confirmed, “You love me?” softly. “For real?”
I smiled softly and cupped her cheek. “That’s what had you on mute down there?
” Her head bobbed as her eyes watered all over again.
“Yes, Smiley. I love you. And please don’t feel obligated to say it back.
Me loving you has nothing to do with how you feel about me and everything to do with how I feel about you.
Hell, the fact that I feel because of you. ”
“But I-I want to say it back because it’s true. I love you, Falcon. And even if it doesn’t last forever, I’m grateful to God that I get to love and be loved by you.”
Pulling her hair, I tilted her head and kissed her.
It was risky, but I didn’t give a fuck about her brother walking in on us.
This was why I told her ass she needed to move in with me.
Hell, I’d get her a penthouse apartment or loft in my building if it meant having her close.
Just as the thought entered my mind, I pulled away to say it, but the sound of Isaac’s voice on the phone as he walked down the hall silenced me.
With a sigh, I rested my forehead against hers for a few seconds, resisting the urge to pick her up.
“I’ll see you in the morning, Smiley.”
“Okay, baby. See you soon.”
Walking away from her was getting harder and harder. I would have to sit down and be honest with her brother and let the chips fall where they may.
How in the fuck was I going to let this woman go?
