MIA“AI MAMA, WORK IT”I pouted my lips, swept my hair out of the way blowing a kiss in Lucy’s direction.“You are doing great”, Issa hurrahed, I laughed feeling the two-piece bikini on me up my confidence.If you would have told me this was what we would be doing on a sleepover, I wouldn’t have believed it.Me trying out every bikini Lucy had designed for her pop-up business, the girls cheering me on like I had a killer body which exactly wasn’t the case.I had scars, healing ones but still even with the makeup hiding them someone was bound to notice and that’s the fucking thing, I didn’t care.I loved this. Being comfortable in my own skin and having friends who liked me just as much as I liked them.“Okay take five”, Lucy shouted. I stopped posing taking three steps to the right where the ottoman was. And on top of the ottoman was the loose cover I picked up covering myself with it.It took a minute before I felt Molly’s hand on my wrist guiding me to the floor where the other ladi
FLAMES‘HE’S OUT OF THE CITY’, Blaze said over the phone, I was on my merry fucking way to hang up when he added,“No thanks for getting rid of Ethan Townsend? You are not still mad about your sister thing, are you? Get the fuck over it man, you pops paid better than Berkely so I took the job”Right.Or maybe he was still around because he knew I would always need his help like with the Townsend situation.“You keep your hands off her soldier”The fucker laughed.“I can’t make any promises’He hung up.I would have chosen to pick a fight with him but my fucking knuckles hurt. With Mia gone, I had tracked down the imbecile, Ethan Townsend, at his parents’ summer house. A couple of punches later for what he did to Mia and I threatened his ass I would kill him if he ever tried to speak to Mia let alone appeared in the same room she was.The little punk had put up a brave fight and I had been relentless in putting him in his place before Blaze took charge.Ethan Townsend got the message.
MIAI WANT YOUR TUMMY SWELLED UP WITH MY KIDHIS words washed over me like a tidal wave. I wanted that too and I wanted what was happening too but at the back of my mind, the insecurities crept in.My situation was temporary but what if it turned permanent.What if I was blind forever and I never got to look at my kids…ever. Never got to brush their hair away and gaze into their little eyes wondering just who they looked like. Me or Andro?Tears welled my eyes but I didn’t cry.No, instead I held a brave face, I let everything I craved for this man take over.He kissed my lips tenderly before he made his way down my cheek, my jaw, my neck, every kiss, every feel of his teeth sink into my skin adding to my high of delirium and passion.The dress I wore specifically to tease him today rode up my thighs and Andro’s fingers sunk into them imbuing me with flames that licked my insides and out and left me a writhing mess.My fingers found his head and I sunk into his hair remembering, lovin
FLAMESPUSSY whipped.There was no better way to explain what had happened last night than that.She fit so perfectly my dick wanted to be buried balls deep in her for the rest of the night, for fucking eternity.But as much as I craved her, I cared so much for her wellbeing that I had to tone down my caveman urge to ravish her.She’d enjoyed it, I had made sure she did but I had also gone hard unleashing every part of me that wanted her and, in the end, she was languid-limbed and redolent of sex. Hurt even.The sunlight shimmied its way into my room, the first light of dawn cascading down her head, up my beard and to my eyes and for once, I didn’t fucking complain of the stinging of my eyes or how shitty the day would turn out to be.On the contrary, this day was perfect. My life was perfect and it would be hence on.I leaned into the pillow pulling her to me and being wary of her waking up.Her body, naked and so fucking beautiful in my arms scooted to me seeking my warmth, seeking
MIA“HE’S STARING AT HER, THE WAY I DO EVERYTIME I SEE YOU. Breathtakingly beautiful, like the moon and the stars beautiful”, Andro whispered, his palm on my belly.Watching a movie was weird and at the same time like having the actors replaying every scene right here right now with you.“And how is she looking at him?”I asked, the movie played, Andro’s voice dropped an octave caressing my ear lobe like a warm heated blanket…the kind you needed when you were freezing to death alone in an igloo up the Artic.“She doesn’t get it. She’s so pissed she doesn’t get what’s right in front of her. A man deeply in love with her he can’t breathe when she’s not near, a man who had to watch and wait for her to come back to him after she married a man who wasn’t worth her time”I replayed every scene in my mind, my heart throbbing with intense love.Love for the movie and the main characters and love for the man explaining every single detail I couldn’t see.“Maybe she doesn’t get what’s right in
FLAMES‘HE’S TRYING, YOU GOTTA GIVE HIM THAT’, Diego said next to me, I took a chug of my wine staring at Mia who was clad in a Kelly-green Balmain dress talking to my old man.Her face said she was trying her best to carry on the conversation but her posture was entirely different like she was scared and uncomfortable.The wise thing to do would have been to leap into the conversation and pull her away from my father but I couldn’t.She had warned me not to be me.The usual gruff overprotective and possessive man I was around her. Her words not mine.“And I’ve forgiven him, that should be enough”, I said dryly. Diego grimaced not buying my bullshit.“You could at least try going golfing with him”I turned to him with an unpleased sneer,“I hate golf”“You could take Mia along”Mia didn’t like golf either.“She doesn’t like him and I don’t like putting her in uncomfortable situations. We shook it off Dee, me and him are good and the last thing I’m gonna do is hold hands with him and p
MIAONE MINUTE I was talking to Alberto Petrakis about being a member of his golf cheering squad and the next, I was down feeling every muscle tear itself from my bones.“Someone please help!” one person cried to my right, dust and nausea filled the pits of my stomach as I tried to bring down the hard ringing in my ears.“A-Alberto—”My bruised hand searched for him but I didn’t find him and worse of all I couldn’t see.“Leo? Leo?”Another person screamed from my left, I think I heard a child cry some where in the mess but with the dimming ringing and my body being sore, I couldn’t tell.My attempts at standing up were brought down by the migraine that leapt from one side of my head to the other rendering me immobile.The dust and smoke invaded my nostrils and when I inhaled everything all together, everything drifted away. I drifted away.“A small concussion, nothing to worry about. We should probably look at those cuts on your head”“I’m fine”The second voice was stoic and more vib
FLAMES“You are killing me, baby”, I SLUMPED ON TOP OF HER, drained of everything.Five, six times and there was no quenching the hunger that racked my blood and veins every time this woman touched me or smiled at me.This past week had been defined by shit slapping me from every corner once it got the chance.Howard Spiro was a lunatic who had tried killing a ton of innocent people simply because he was on the loosing end with my father, after the little stunt he pulled, getting him incarcerated wasn’t a difficult feat.And just to make his life fucking harder, I added some evidence-fake evidence- with Blaze’s help that would keep the bastard behind bars till his teeth fell out and his hair thinned on his head.The other shit, the one that had bugged me so fucking much was the fact that the three bombs that had been planted at my parent’s place could have killed everyone.Blaze, who was good at pyrotechnics and all that shit, had only managed to diffuse two of them once he realized t
A FEW YEARS LATER“YEAH, yeah…fuck”I moaned loving the feel of him moving in and out of me while he enjoyed the show like he always had.He let me take over at times and this was one of those times where I sat in his arms, his hands on my back as I bounced my titties off his dick.The bad thing about it is that it didn’t feel half as satisfying like when he had control over everything and he knew that.“Had enough?” he asked, I slapped his cheek.“Fine you win you can take over”He chuckled,“I thought you would never ask”Holding me in place, my head towering his and our eyes locked on each other, he slipped his dick in me again taking control over everything.Then just as fast and rough as he always was, he thrust once in me and I could feel him all the way in my womb, all the way in to my hilt hitting that spot that only he could reach.“That felt good, didn’t it?”“Don’t gloat, just make love to me like how I like it”His thrusts increased, stretching my insides, forcing my walls
FLAMES“WE ARE GOING BACK to Austin, Texas”, Bates spoke over the phone.“Miami’s not good enough for your playboy ass?”I would miss him but I also knew Miami was never the kind of forever he wanted for him or for Cannon’s kid.“My playboy ways are over Flames. It wounds me that you think I’m still the same fucker you are”“Fuck off”, I laughed and he laughed too and together we were drawn back to our days when it was just me being fucking grumpy at everything and him being the annoying little fucker that buzzed in my ear like a pesky mosquito.“There’s still room for you in B&A, YOU KNOW that”“I know but the kid’s been a lot and I think it’s time I put down my Glock and focus on what matters”“Yeah and what is that?”“Family. I might have a family of two but I love it because it’s so much than I ever had when I was a kid”It was the first time he was admitting that even if we all knew his life story. I could particularly relate to the word family because soon enough I was starting
MIAI LAUGHED.Andro twirled me around bringing me back to his arms as we danced the morning away.The song we were dancing to was something between the lines of ‘baby mama’ and ‘I’ve been pregnant FOR way too long’.“You did not tell me you could dance like that, mister”, I poked my FINGER on his bare chest and what I felt was a brick of hardened muscles.“I’m a man full of surprises”, He said cockily, hands on my waist, eyes so glued to mine I felt like a mushy mud puddle.“Do the guys know you dance?” I teased, he hit me back with a hard,“No”“It’s not a bad thing if a man dances, that doesn’t mean you are weak”“It doesn’t but the last thing I want is for my men to think I’m weak. Believe it or not, they look up to me and I’m the glue that holds them together. If they know I dance or I have a weak spot for anything, they’ll relax and that’s the last thing they should be doing”“I’m I your weak spot?”I was.I knew I was.He had assured me of that in the last few days I had almost
MIAI’D HALF THOUGHT THAT WATCHING a chick flick with a stone-faced guy was the last thing I would have to face for the day but no.Right now, I wasn’t in the room with Pindrop seated on the couch and half explaining the things about the movie that he didn’t understand. That was too good of a gift to ask from God.So instead, He brought this man and trust me hell hath no fury like a scorned Alessandro Petrakis.“Thirty-three calls, fifty messages, five bouquet of flowers and nothing. I had to rush all the way home because my heavily pregnant woman is throwing a tantrum so tell me what’s wrong right fucking now or I’ll show you just how much agony you put me through for not answering my calls”He thundered; I didn’t flinch because this was how he acted when he was mad.I was mad too; I had no right to be but I was because he—he was in Germany with my sister.Alessandro’s eyes searched mine, the bowl of fruit salad resting on top of my bump shook with my hands.I wasn’t scared of him.R
FLAMESEVERY time I landed my ass in this summit there was always the rare occasion, that one I would have to listen in on bullshit conversations about leadership or two, pretend the suit I wore to this function wasn’t choking the life out of me.And the suit was really fucking tighter than the last one I had worn last month.Seated next to the CEO of Alpha security didn’t help my cause either.Elliot Guzman listened to every goddamn word the host spoke, pausing for a second to jot down what he found important and what he needed to change in his firm.The dude was so uptight, I had hated Alpha security the minute I met its leader. And there was that rivalry between us that we both failed to acknowledge.While Guzman scribbled shit in his dandy notebook, my hands itched on my screen.The fuckers I had told to keep an eye on Mia had been MIA. AND WHEN THEY DID TEXT me right this second, they sent a picture of them enjoying pizza with…was that?The fucking guy from Mia’s apartment? The f
MIAI HAD BURNT A LOT OF BRIDGES with him by leaving him but he was here, he was asking how I felt, he was massaging my feet, he was listening, he was acting jealous even if he would have rather died than admitted that and name any woman who would have resisted that.I hadn’t had him for too long and something in my mind and heart—like a kill switch just snapped and I went in for the big prize.A shudder racked my whole body when our lips connected.Sparks might have buzzed and scintillated between us as I took more of his scent, as my fingers found his terse jaw and as uncomfortable as it was I had to move and so I moved.Onto his lap, dry humping against his crotch like a wanton.And maybe I was a wanton woman for wanting him to do dirty things to me a few feet away from the kitchen counter where I had caught Lucy and Blaze going at it like cats on heat.But that’s the thing, I didn’t care.I wanted him.I loved him.He smelled so nice, he looked nice.All muscle and brawn, all hand
FLAMES“HOW’D I DO?”Rakkon’s grin was so wide I could see it beyond the screens and it chuffed me.“Don’t gloat just bring them home”, I sighed getting off the comms.I had one man down and one family to break the news to and honestly this was the part of the job I hated. To have a family entrust me with their delinquent only for him to wind up dead.“I’ll make the call”, Blaze appeared behind me, understanding wedged between his usual cold stale aura.And if the lady’s perfume he had on was any indication, I might have got the hint he was fucking someone in the parking lot before he showed his ass here.I didn’t have time to think about that. Hey whatever kept him happy was fine by me.“I’ll check on Mia”Holy gave me a curt nod of understanding, Blaze stood beside me with that hard and blunt face he wore like a mask.“Word of caution though, your sister’s here”I turned to him with a gutted look.Lucy. Here? Fuck. I thought she was home for the summer after months of attending show
MIA“SAY SOMETHING, ANYTHING”He’d freaked out the minute we stepped into the parking lot and even when we got inside his car the situation hadn’t changed.“I don’t- “The ringing of his phone from the dashboard cut him short and he picked it up faster than I had ever seen him. To avoid the conversation and mostly to avoid the news.I was the one who should have been shocked anyway.I was the woman who was going to push three of his babies out of me and that…would hurt like a fucking bitch.“Situation? What do you mean one of them got fucking shot? They are bloody rookies they should have had someone looking after them. Ooh, right.I’m not going to grovel at the kid, Holy. He made a mistake, granted I shouldn’t have fired him but he needed a time out to cool off. Yeah, call him in, loop him in on the situation and get him on the field. Well, he’s re-hired damn it!”And when he had thrown his phone somewhere in the back seat like soggy spaghetti he didn’t like, I was still there locked
FLAMESTHE TEAL COTTON AND LACE CHEMISE STOPPING MIDTHIGH ON HER didn’t make her look less pregnant but she did look fucking gorgeous and it took every fiber in me not to give in to the feral urges.And my favorite thing in the world I had discovered was placing my hand on Mia’s tummy, protecting the kid in there and sort of assuring him his daddy got this.Mia’s face snored in front of mine, I pulled the covers even higher to cover her sleeping body.“I would have dropped anything for you, Mia. Anything you would have asked me of, I would have given you but you left as if we were nothing, I was nothing and damn it I want to hurt you too but how can I when you are giving me the most precious gift a man like me doesn’t deserve”A child.A bouncy baby girl.The thought brought a smile to my face and I grinned in the dark.The clock to Mia’s right on my nightstand read 0300 hrs. I hadn’t slept a fucking wink and I would have gladly put the blame on little miss snores next to me but someh
