Fight For My Heart (11 page)

“Let go of me!”

“You know what? Vin, I’ll be right back.” I state, already making my way to where I know her personal items may be. I walk into the room and find the walk in closet. I hear banging coming up the stairs and Carmen screaming something unintelligible to whichever man is still with her. But, I don’t care anymore. I start pulling out suit cases that were neatly stacked in in the corner of their enormous walk-in closet. I pull shoes off of shelves, clothes off of racks, panties and bras off the laid out display of drawers. I probably look possessed by the time Carmen barges into the suite and makes it to the closet. “Get away from my stuff bitch!” She makes a move towards me, but Vin is there to hold her back struggling to gain control of her. “You touch my shit I’ll kill you! I swear I will ruin your ass and you will be nothing.”

I ignore her, zipping one bag and grabbing for the next. She was obviously stupid enough not to leave last night after the fight, so why shouldn’t I help her with her move? I’m really doing a public service and saving her some money, now she doesn’t have to pay movers to do it.

Finally getting her reigned in, Vin takes her away while Rico comes into the closet. “Need some help?” he smiles and looks a little too giddy to be doing this considering that he just slept with the girl. I raise an eyebrow at him in question. “What?!” I look at him in that
you know what
kind of way until he relents whit the unasked question. “Fine, ok, I had sex with the monster so what? I didn’t think it would matter. She’s fucking hot and we can’t all have a Reese’s Pieces like you. Vin needed to get rid of her, so I just helped him out a bit.”
“Reese’s Pieces? Really?” I deadpan.

“Come on I like it. You’re small and have that golden skin and let’s be honest your tiny, but that body you got going on is fucking delicious.” His eyes turn a little smoldering while he stops to look me up and down.

“What the fuck bro?” Vin shouts coming back into the room and catching his friend eye rape me.

“Nothing, just helping out.” He quickly transfers his eyes back to helping me pack her stuff again.

“Yeah, keep your eyes elsewhere, or do we need to have that talk again?” Vin states getting in between me and Rico and putting his arms around me.

“Did you get the she-bitch under control? It got quiet when you dragged her out of here.” Rico effectively changes the topic. I giggle at this because he didn’t do that as smoothly as he should have. Vin looks at me and smiles, knowing his friend is an idiot.

“I locked her out the door without her keys, which I effectively swiped out of her bag before she got the chance to object.” He’s very proud of locking a woman out with no way of transportation whereas her keys most likely hold the source to freedom. I might need to be a bit worried about that one.

For the next hour, we pack all of her things and Vin makes arrangements to have the locks changed, the security alarm reset, and Carmen’s things picked up. Wow, I would never have thought that my life could change again within a 24 hour period, but here I am; with a man I didn’t think would commit to me and his best friend who doesn’t make me as uncomfortable as he should, considering he’s fairly inappropriate most of the time. I can seriously get used to this. Instead of seeing, you can use OTHER words.. even though/despite the fact that could be used in this case…I’d prefer “despite the fact that”

There’s no connection between these 2 paragraphs..I think the first sentence should be moved to the end of the paragraph..In the previous paragraph, you started talking about Taleah’s emotions and life..Move the first sentence and the topic remains the same..

Ultimately, we should be together, but this is all still so new to me. I know we have chemistry, but I just want to be careful with my heart telling me it’s not just about us anymore. We have a baby to think about and with Vin always at the gym or on the road for his fights; this is going to take some getting used to with him and I being around each other a hell of a lot more than before. I’m not Carmen or any other from his groupies that usually travel with him, I still have school, which I won’t give up on and a life outside of Vincent Santiago that I have been living just fine on my own.

Vin and I tell Rico we’re going back to my place after discussing what we want to do with his place.

We seriously need to talk about which days our calendars will allow us time together and then we can start really being together the way normal couples are. Not this crazy way that we have been (in and out of each other’s lives) without ever really being happy.

Not like my parents’ relationship..

Everything that has happened has me wanting to reach out to my mother. Vin and my relationship reminds me so much of my parents that it scares the crap out of me, because I don’t ever want to abandon my children. I know my mother didn’t exactly do that to us. It just feels like she gave up though and it seems like my father has a lot to do with that. She doesn’t even know I’m pregnant, well not that I know of at least and I’m pretty sure if she did that she would have called, but nothing. It’s been almost a year since I’ve even heard from her.

“Hey, what’s on your mind? You got that sad look on your face.” Vin asks as he pulls into my driveway. I don’t know how to explain this to him. He doesn’t talk about his own mother, as a matter of fact I don’t recall anyone talking about her.

“I was just thinking how I haven’t heard from my mother in a long time. I don’t even think she knows I’m having a baby.” I tell the partial truth, I don’t want to get into our relationship right now. I need to give thought to it when my parents aren’t involved with my decisions and thoughts.

“Why haven’t you called her?” He asks like it’s not a big deal. That just proves that we have yet another thing to talk about. Ugh, our pasts. He wasn’t there for the ultimate fallout when we were kids so he doesn’t know everything. That’s going to be a great conversation.

“It’s complicated. I don’t really have the energy to get into it right now. After today I just need to relax and get some sleep. I have a class tomorrow morning. Oh! You can come to the OBGYN with me tomorrow afternoon.” I say as we walk into the house.
“That’s fine with me. Just text me and let me know when so I can be there. I’m just watching some tapes and training tomorrow. Let’s get you two inside so you can rest.” He helps me upstairs into the bed. He starts helping me undress and I want to stop feeling so tired or worried about our troubles anymore.

My breathing picks up as he helps me out of my shorts. Oh my Goodness he’s not even doing anything, but being attentive and my hormones are on overdrive. How did I go from worrying about our relationship, schedules, and pasts, to feeling like I’m going to jump his bones? He must notice the change in me because all of a sudden he makes his movements much slower than before, like he’s savoring this moment. He slowly moves his hands up my ankle to my calf and is working his calloused hands from my inner to my outer thighs. Unbending at the waist he stands up looking down at my 5’4” frame.

“Te?” He asks. I’m so mesmerized by those hazel eyes and the lust I see staring back at me. I don’t even question myself as I reach his waistband of his tight black t-shirt and start to draw my hands up his toned stomach taking his shirt off as I go. He helps me out by grabbing the back of it and tearing it off his head. Taking a deep breath I take in all his glory. Those tattoos swirling around his shoulders to his pecs, that piece on his arm going to his elbow, the lips that remind me of when we reconnected. It’s all too much. Taking my hands I run them down his chest feeling the hard muscles and going to that delicious v pointing to the best treasure I have ever received, that’s my map to my goddess of Os.

Looking at him beneath me eyelashes I ask in a whisper, “Wanna help me?” Pulling at the hem of my shirt. I don’t want to do anything; I just let him take the reins on this one for me.
He reaches for the bottom of my shirt and quickly slides it up my body and over my head, tossing it the same way he did his own. Taking a step back he takes the sight of me in. I have never been a self-conscious girl and I know what he’s seeing right now must really be a sight because his tongue sneaks out his mouth swiping across his bottom lip like I’m about to be the best dessert. “
Damn
” he breathes.

Reaching behind my back I release my bra clip letting it fall from my shoulders down to the floor. I take a few slow steps back reaching the bed and carefully sit at the end motioning my pointer finger in a come here motion. He takes carefully controlled steps towards me until he’s standing between my legs. I look straight up at him while I unbuckle his camo shorts. He watches me intently; I don’t think we’ve ever gone this slowly before. It’s like a game of who can hold out the longest. A game of skill; of concentration. It’s getting so fucking hot in this room and knowing that this sexy ass man is all mine now. Oh… my… gawd…

No words are needed for what either of us obviously has in mind so we just keep taking turns undressing each other until we are both completely naked. Just when I think I know the first move to make, he finally pounces. Sliding my body backwards by grabbing my thighs and giving them a good push to where my elbows support my weight, my legs are spread wide, and my ass is sitting at the perfect angle for penetration. Yet, he doesn’t slam home; instead he quickly drops to his knees and slowly inhales my scent. That is one of the hottest things I have had the pleasure of seeing.

“Baby, you have to have been made for this. Your smell is so fucking intoxicating. Now I see why Rico calls you Reese’s.” He chuckles darkly right before his mouth attacks my clit. I gasp in surprise and quickly grab the sheets trying to keep some kind of leverage over my body. He is relentless in his assault not giving me a second to adjust before stabbing me with me his tongue. “
Shit
” I cry out. That magical mouth has to be working wonders because I’m so fucking close I can barely remember to breathe. “Oh god, Vin, shit I’m close, don’t you fucking stop!” I release the sheets and grab his hair as he goes back to sucking, licking, and biting my lips and clit. He presses one finger inside me searching for that special spot inside of me that can bring me to release, he feels that squishy material and like he’s on auto-pilot he inserts another finger causing a scissoring motion on my gspot.

“You like that? Huh? I can feel that you’re close. Give it up baby.” He sucks hard on my clit and pushes his fingers together rotating quickly and I scream right before I back the hell out. No memory of how I got up here, but I’m watching my body spasm out to the point I’m a little scared, too bad I too damn good for me to panic. I finally start my decent back to reality and I must look high because I can literally feel the dopy grin on my face. “Hi.” Vin laughs a little and wipes the back of his hand across his face wiping away my juices.

“Well hello there. That was….” I don’t even know what to say. I grab his hair again letting him know to come here and kiss him. I should probably be worn out, but I feel how hard he is and I’m ready to go again. “No words for how good that felt, but now it’s your turn. Get up here daddy.” He obeys and settles himself between my open legs. I love that he’s so much bigger than me, because having a pregnant belly is not the most refreshing thing when your man is on top of you.

He teases my clit and entrance with the top of his piercings making sure I’m nice and wet, and all but panting ready for him to enter me. “Fuck you’re wet” he hisses between clenched teeth. “You almost made me let go when you came on my tongue, but now you are going to come with me inside of you.” He rears back and slams into me. Yeah, all self-control has been lost; our earlier teasing of moving slow must have lost its edge because this is straight up fucking. I’m moaning sounds that don’t even sound human as he slams into me over and over again, his thrusts have me moving up the bed and he’s not stopping, just grabs my hips, settles himself back on his feet on the floor and keeps driving home.

“Fuck baby, you’re so god damn tight, shit this pussy is mine, mine, mine.” His thrusts start getting deeper, he must sense he’s hitting the right spot again because he slows down but keeps his drive deep, rotating his hips in a counter clockwise turn adding a little dip. Swearing under his breath “baby you gotta come for me, it’s too good I’m not going to last.” He thrust once, twice, and on the third time I come calling his name loud. He picks his pace back up and comes right behind me on a long groan. “Fuuccccckkkk.”

Both spent, we lie together letting the last spasms rack through our bodies; both breathing hard and cooling down. “Shit babe gimme a second, sorry to squish you but, I need to catch my breath.” He says between gulps of air.

“Shit, Vin I think you broke it.” I whine. He chuckles deep in his chest and licks my nipple on his way getting up from me. Sliding his big hands over my belly and grabbing my breasts, he bends his head back down and kisses our baby twice, murmuring words I can’t hear before finally lifting his head kissing my lips and head towards the bathroom. I rest my head back and sigh, closing my eyes.

“Ahh!” A scream has me jumping up in bed. What the hell was that? I’m trying to wake my foggy brain up. After last night I guess I fell into a pretty restful sleep. I look around the room and take in Cadence in her barely there underwear under a small t-shirt, holding a shoe over her head, about to strike Vin, who looks just as startled as I am.

“What the fuck Cadence?!” Vin yells at her
,
grabbing his arm and rubbing where I’m assuming he was struck by her lethal weapon. I try to hold back a laugh, but it bubbles from my mouth anyways. Vin turns his glare at me and I probably should have been scared of the eyes that now seem to be eating me up. They turn from pissed to smoldering running over my skin. I look down and realize my top half is completely exposed to him; I need to remember to cover up next time. I quickly pull the sheet to cover myself and then smirk a little at the tent I see growing under the blankets.

Vin starts inching a little towards me causing me to lay back in the process. It’s definitely getting a bit hot in here right now.
