Chapter 16
SHELTER IN THIS PUSSY
Emergency Alert– L.A. County Fire Department
Go indoors. Shut and lock doors & windows. Prepare to self-sustain until further notice and/or contacted by emergency personnel for additional direction.
“Um…” Amaya’s voice trailed off as she looked at her blaring phone.
“What the fuck is this?” We had just finished our work for the evening, and everyone was standing in my foyer about to head out.
The wildfires had been the main character of the week, and I thought they were finally under control. Clearly, I was wrong.
“It's a shelter in place order,” Niko said. “Ya’ll never seen one of these?”
“We’re from the Mid-West,” Jocelyn answered. “If it ain’t a tornado watch or an occasional earthquake, we don’t know anything about that.”
“Hold up,” Justin said as he turned the T.V. on just in time to hear the newscaster urging residents to stay indoors. Apparently, the wildfires reached a nearby plant and created an air quality alert for the surrounding areas. I noticed Amaya growing increasingly agitated with each passing second.
“Listen,” I started. “It’s just a precaution. It will probably only last a few hours, then y’all can go, but it’s already late, so it might be best for everyone to crash here tonight.”
“So, not only do we have to worry about being cooked well done, now we also have to worry about the fuckin’ apocalypse too?” she asked with frightened eyes. I tried my best not to laugh as Jocelyn did her best to calm her down.
“Amaya, we're fine. Stuff like this happens all the time here.” She turned to address the rest of us. “Sorry, y’all. She has an irrational fear of the apocalypse.” I chuckled to myself, storing that in the bank to tease her about later.
I couldn’t do it at that moment because she looked so spooked that I instantly felt bad and wanted to go outside and fight the damn fires myself for scaring my girl.
Yeah, my girl. She didn’t know it yet, but she would soon enough.
She could try to act like she wasn’t feeling me as much as she wanted, but the way she kept doubling back for the dick told me everything I needed to know.
Since it didn’t appear that anyone would be leaving anytime soon, I went and grabbed something comfortable for them to sleep in, and some toiletries.
Everyone else got brand new shit, but I made sure to give my girl something from my personal wardrobe, especially since she liked to steal my shit anyways.
“Everything good at home, man?” I asked, catching Justin by himself.
“Everything is fine. Ryan and the baby are with her cousin in Florida. That’s probably the only reason I’m not crashing out right now.”
“I feel you. That’s why I had to come check on yo’ ass. I know if my girl and my baby were stuck somewhere in all this shit, I’d be on my way to them, alert be damned,” I chuckled.
“Yo’ girl and yo’ baby?” he asked with a smirk and accusatory brow raise.
“Nigga, you know what I mean. If I had either of those things.”
“Nah, man. I’m fuckin’ with you!” I exhaled in relief as he hit my arm playfully. “But it is good to hear you talkin’ like that. It almost sounds like you’re open to the possibility of a relationship again.”
“Yeah, almost,” I chuckled, wanting to spill the whole truth, but Amaya had sworn and threatened me to secrecy.
“I’m really happy to hear that,” he said with a smile. At that moment, my phone buzzed with a text.
Amaya
So, you just gon’ put me way over here by myself???
I laughed to myself, wondering how long it would take her to notice.
Everything I did had intention, and I made sure to conveniently put all of them in different wings of the house.
Of course, the one that Amaya was assigned was closest to my bedroom, and I could get there without being caught by anyone.
Me
Give me a minute, leave the door unlocked.
I made my rounds checking the alarm, and making sure everyone was in their designated areas, and the coast was clear. After everything was secure, I made my way to the guest bedroom where Amaya was, tapped the door gently, and slipped inside.
“Hey,” she whispered as I slipped in the room.
“You good?” I asked, making my way towards her as she stood there rubbing her arms uncomfortably.
“I’m fine,” she mumbled, looking off.
“It’s okay, not to be, Toni.”
“I said I’m good,” she snapped. I gripped her chin up to face me.
“Chill with that shit.” I kept my command brief and to the point, not willing to argue with her stubborn ass. She poked her bottom lip out, and my hand met the back of her neck where I massaged gently, watching some of the stress melt away from her body.
“You know, when I’m officially your man, you won’t be able to hide from me. You have to let me in and let me try to help. Why don’t you start now?”
“I don’t even like you like that,” she said, sucking her teeth and giving me the same eye roll she had been dishing out since the day I met her.
“Lie again.” I pulled her body in close and kissed her hard enough to have her pulling on my shirt for more. I had no plans of fucking her, I just came to put her mind at ease, but the way she moaned softly when my hands cupped her cheeks had me ready to reconsider.
“Can you stay with me?” she asked in a soft voice as she looked up at me with wide eyes. “Maybe just until I fall asleep?”
“I got you,” I promised, giving her lips a gentle kiss before locking the door behind me.
“Hurry up,” she whined, scooting under the covers as I handled the lights and pulled my shirt over my head. I smiled to myself, happy she seemed to be back to her regular bratty self. I planned on staying there all night if that would keep her calm.
“I said chill, crybaby ass,” I fussed as I slipped in beside her. Her body instantly met mine as she threw her leg over mine and I slipped my hands under her shirt so I could rub on her bare skin. She was so damn soft and warm that I immediately melted into her.
“You want kids, Toni?” I asked, planting kisses on her lips. My conversation with Justin was fresh on my mind, making it impossible not to ask the question.
“I used to…” she sighed, a slight sadness in her tone. My heart dropped a little because I knew I wanted them, and that could be a dealbreaker in a serious relationship. I would never push her to do something she wasn’t comfortable with.
“What changed?”
“Nothing, I guess. I always wanted at least one, but after everything that happened in my last relationship, I just came to terms with the fact that it might not happen for me.” My body grew rigid as I made a mental reminder to make sure I took a trip to New York so I could “run into” Malcom’s punk ass sooner rather than later.
“So you gon’ let him take that away from you?” I asked.
“It’s not that simple, Chase. I’m not getting any younger, and I’m not having kids with just anybody.”
“So what you’re saying is that you do want kids, but you’re playing it off because you’re afraid that it won’t happen. You know you don’t necessarily need a nigga to have a family, right?” I asked.
“Wow, and here I thought you were gonna offer to give me one.”
“I mean… that could be arranged too, but I’m just saying—even without me, or another man, you still deserve your family, baby.” She went still as she digested my words. After a few moments of complete silence, she sucked her teeth.
“Stop saying shit to make me like you more… I still don’t like you like that, Chase.”
I laughed and pulled her in for another kiss, this time slipping her a little tongue. I couldn’t help but laugh at the way she whined when I pulled back.
“I know, baby. Go to sleep.”
I didn’t know what it was, but around her chaotic ass, my body felt more relaxed than ever and I damn near slept through my morning alarm on my phone.
Usually, I was up before it came on so the sound of my phone vibrating on the nightstand damn near scared me out of my skin.
Amaya didn’t budge at all until I tried to pull myself away from her.
“Where you goin’?” she whined as she held my arms, keeping me glued to her body.
“It’s 4:30. I got workouts,” I mumbled into the back of her neck.
“We’re under a shelter in place.”
“The gym is in the basement Amaya. I can still shelter in place and get this workout in.”
“Orrrr,” I could feel her body shuffling around as she slid her shorts down over her hips. “You can shelter in this pussy and get another kind of workout.”
“You so fuckin’ stupid!” I laughed into the pillow before quickly seizing the opportunity and pulling my own shorts down. My dick was already stiff, but immediately sprang to its full potential at her generous offer as I squeezed in closer to her.
“Open up,” I demanded pressing a kiss to her shoulder. She lifted her leg slightly, granting me access to her wet ass morning pussy. The way that shit hugged me so tight left absolutely no doubt in my mind that it was made for me, and I had to let her know.
“Good ass pussy,” I whispered praises in her ear, making that shit even wetter. She wasn’t the only one who could talk someone through it.
“Shit!” she moaned, making a smile spread across my face.
“You gotta be quiet, baby. Remember we in a house full of people.” I said, torturing her with a gentle thrust of my hips that had my dick tapping her g-spot with each movement.
“Trying. Just. Feels. So. Good… Fuck, baby!” She struggled with each word, prompting me to go faster because I loved that baby shit. She could cuss me out all she wanted, but when she added “baby” at the end, that was all I heard.
“Shh, Amaya. Sh-shit… Fuck.”
“I knowww,” she moaned. “It’s so fucking good, baby.”
“Good enough for you to let me claim you?”
“Noooo,” she howled quietly. I smiled as I thrusted into her from behind, picking up the pace.
“Fuck what you talking ‘bout. You already mine, ain’t that right?” I demanded, grabbing her thigh and lifting her leg higher so I could touch her soul with my dick. She was right about the workout, because I was using every muscle in my body to get her stubborn ass in line.
“Oooh, Chase! Baby, wait—”
“Nah, ain’t no wait. Tell me who you belong to while you cream on this dick!” I scolded.
“You! Youuuu! Fuck! I’m yours! Ooh shit!” she said as she followed instructions to a tee, loudly. All I could do was hope putting her so far away from everyone would keep them from hearing her loud ass mouth because I was not stopping.
“Girl, you feel so fuckin’ good. I swear I ain’t never giving this shit up.
This pussy and every other part of you belongs to me,” I said, before biting down on her shoulder and making her body shiver again.
I meant that shit too, and that’s why I wore her ass out before the sun came up, making both of us accidentally sleep in until almost noon.
Everything was good, and I couldn’t wait for this trial shit to be over so it could get even better.
