Mothers Know Best (Chapter 4)
Time seems to be flying by as Michonne is making her way back to Atlanta on a bright and early Monday morning after spending the weekend in King's County. She is devoting more and more time to Rick and Carl and their relationships seem to be growing stronger each day. She and Rick continue to talk on the phone during the week and she has even taken to exchanging text messages and emails with Carl.
She and Rick still haven't consummated their relationship. The want and passion for it is there, but he has Carl just about every weekend and she can't help feeling guilty taking him away from his son. She usually opts for the three of them to spend time together when the two of them don't have anything specific planned. She makes it to work on time and the daily grind begins.
Rick was hoping to visit Atlanta this weekend. Shane was going to help cover him, so he could take the time off as Lori would have Carl. Michonne is extremely disappointed when Rick calls that Wednesday night to let her know he wouldn't be able to get off work. She offers to come to King's County but he said he'd be busy with work and wouldn't have time to devote to her. She let him know that she understood and they would make plans for the following weekend.
The next day, she is sitting at work, pondering what to do with her weekend. She decides that she will just connect with some old friends and if that didn't pan out, there was always work to be done. She even contemplates going to King's County anyway just to visit with her folks, but knowing Rick would be nearby and she couldn't see him would only frustrate her, so she decided to remain in Atlanta.
Later that night, she has just emerged from a nice, long, hot shower and is preparing for bed and her call from Rick when the doorbell chimes. She frowns as she is definitely not expecting anyone. Donning a silk purple robe, she makes her way to the front door and looks through the peep hole. Her heart starts to race as she sees the top of a brown Sheriff's Deputy Hat. Rick?!
She can't get the door open fast enough as she fumbles nervously with the locks. Finally, the door is open, they are locking eyes with each other and he waltzes in and grabs her in a tight hug, practically lifting her off the floor. She kisses him as she throws her arms around his neck, laughing with delight.
"What are you doing here? I didn't think I'd see you for another week." She smiles as he allows her to slide down his body to the floor. She closes the door and locks it.
"Shane came through for me and I couldn't wait to see you, so here I am. I'm yours for the entire weekend."
"Really?" She suddenly looks at him as if she is starving and he is the only meal available.
He picks up on her vibe immediately and all the playfulness flies right out of the window as he takes her in his arms once again and the kiss they share takes on an entirely different meaning. He kisses a path to her neck, sucking her skin into his mouth. Her robe falls open slightly and reveals her beautiful bare breasts.
Rick jerks back. "Damn. I know you weren't expecting me, were you?"
She laughs as she grabs at his work jacket to take it off. "I was getting ready for bed."
"Well, I'd say I came at just the right time." He smiles as she grabs his hand and leads him to her bedroom.
She sits him down at the foot of her bed and starts to undress him. She leans in to kiss him, unbuttoning his shirt at the same time.
Rick pulls back gently. "Hey. I've been at work all day. Let me take a shower first."
She nods as she allows him to move off the bed and walk into the bathroom. She decides to find something nice to put on from her lingerie drawer. She changes into a red lacy teddy that leaves little to the imagination and pulls the covers back to wait in bed for him.
Fifteen minutes later, Rick emerges from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, another in his hand towel drying his hair. He stops as he takes in the vision Michonne has laid out for him. She is lounging on the bed in something red and lacy, her beautiful skin practically glowing from the soft overhead lighting in the room. He still can't believe this exquisite woman wants to be with him. It has been a while since he has been with anyone so he hopes he is able to satisfy her. He is going to do his damnedest.
She moves slowly until she is facing him on her knees. She places her hands on his shoulders, moving them in a circular motion, caressing him. Her eyes follow her hands as she trails her way from his shoulders down his arms to his flat stomach and up to squeeze his pecs. She smiles as his eyes close, indicating how much he enjoys her touch.
Rick is almost afraid to touch her he wants her so badly. He cups her face gently, moving in to kiss her softly. He takes his time, savoring the softness of her lips, the sweetness as he delves inside. He wraps an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him, never breaking the kiss. He shudders as she grows more aggressive, pulling and sucking on his tongue.
She drops her hands to his backside, squeezing him gently as she moves against his swollen manhood. A groan escapes her as she realizes how ready he is, how much he wants her. She loosens his towel, letting it drop to the floor as she moves back on the bed, pulling him with her. She takes a deep breath as his body rests against hers. She can't wait to feel him moving inside.
They begin to kiss again, slowly and languidly. He wants to take his time loving her, exploring her. He pulls one strap aside unable to contain his eagerness to caress and savor her breasts. He mouths one while he caresses the other with his hand softly.
Michonne reaches up to gently place a hand at the back of his head, holding him to her. She throws her head back, reveling in the sensation of his mouth on her. He pulls long and hard and she can feel tiny sparks shooting all through her body. He removes her arms from the straps of the teddy, fully exposing her upper body as he devotes more time to her luscious breasts.
Kissing his way down her body, he peals the lacy material away from her to admire her completely nude, completely perfect figure. He returns to her lips and kisses her with abandon, losing himself in the passion she evokes in him almost effortlessly.
She returns the kiss with fervor, caressing his arms, moving to his back, pressing him to her as she can't seem to get close enough. She watches in anticipation as he slowly begins caressing her body with his tongue once again. She can't help but roll her body up then down from one side to the other as he is driving her mad with his tongue and his hands.
He rests his hands on her thighs, parting them gently so he can look upon her in the most intimate way. He brushes his hands up and down, making his way finally to finger her womanhood. Her breath hitches at the first touch, so he pulls back only to start kissing her inner thighs working his way to the coveted prize. He touches his mouth to her softly before flicking his tongue against her, then moving in to suckle her.
Her breath is coming harsh and fast as she can't remember the last time she felt this much passion, this much pleasure. Rick is touching her with his tongue and it is better than she ever imagined, ever dreamed it would be. She is complete dough in his hands and he can mold her, shape her any which way he wants. She spreads her legs wider, giving him even more access as she rolls her hips to meet his tongue and match his rhythm. She gasps when she feels his hands spread her sex and latch onto her clit, suckling gently.
"Oh…oh, Rick…..Rick….." She clutches the sheets as she feels the beginning waves of her orgasm wash over her. She stiffens suddenly as the sensation hits, taking her on an unbelievable ride. She rolls her head from side to side, almost begging Rick to stop. He doesn't let up until he feels her body begin to relax. She is still quivering as he looks up at her with a very satisfied and proud smile on his face.
"Did you like that?" He asks as he gives her glistening flesh one last kiss before reaching his hands up to her breasts, rolling the nipples between his fingers.
Michonne tries to smile, but she still feels the after tremors coursing through her body. It doesn't help that he remains in a very sensitive area and she can feel his breath on her as he exhales each time. "Too much I think."
She slowly regains a normal breathing pattern, although her heart rate remains high and silently surmises that she can't wait to return the favor. She squeals as Rick rolls over onto his back, bringing her with him, her womanhood sitting in his face. She moves up on her knees, preparing to move for better access at him, but he grabs her hips to stay her. She looks down with a wondering look and grabs the headboard as he gives her one long, slow lick of his tongue before latching on again, sucking with purpose, but doing so gently.
"Please don't. What are you doing?" He reaches up to palm her breasts. She pulls her hands back to place them over his as she slowly starts to move her hips. He feels so good she can't help it. She is floored when she feels another orgasm roll through her.
Moments later, she has recovered enough to give Rick just as much appreciation as he has given her. She smiles as she stretches out on top of him. "You ready?"
Rick is nervous, but ready for anything and everything she shells out. He nods. "Be gentle."
She giggles as she begins to kiss and caress his body, relishing in the taste of his skin, loving how smooth and firm he feels. She has him squirming already and she has just begun. She scrapes her nails on the inside of his thighs, making him jerk with her touch. She cups him as she moves down to take him into her mouth.
Rick closes his eyes, losing himself in the overwhelming sensation of warmth as she envelopes him. She takes him in deep, closing her lips around him tightly, the up and down motion pulling a physical and emotional response from him. He begins to move his hips, thrusting gently into her mouth. He looks down to watch and nearly explodes with the vision alone.
She pulls up to his tip and circles him with her tongue once, twice, three times before diving back in with an increase in her rhythm and just a little more friction with her pull. She smiles around him as she hears Rick let out a few choice words.
"Ah….ah…shit….ah, Michonne…Michonne…." He thrusts into her mouth again and again until he finally reaches his climax, his hips jerking roughly with his release.
She gives him the same courtesy that he bestowed upon her, continuing to suckle him until only a few tremors of his body are detected. She sits up on her knees with a knowing smile. "You ok?"
Rick looks at her and says, "No, you just killed me."
"Well, I wonder what I can do to bring you back to life." She smiles as his breath hitches with the touch of her hand on his stomach. She caresses him softly, gently moving her hands all over his body. She finally moves to his manhood, wrapping a hand around him, stroking slowly. She waits patiently as he responds to her ministrations, locking eyes with her as he moves his hips.
Minutes later, she is straddling him, guiding him to her center. She sits down on him slowly, taking him inch by inch.
Rick surprises her when he flips her onto her back and pushes in with one long meaningful thrust.
She spreads her legs to allow him all the way in, gasping as he fills her completely. She wraps her legs around him and begins to move as he thrusts in and out slowly. She caresses his neck with soft, light kisses, then drops back to the pillow to look up into his eyes. I'm so in love with this man. God, help me.
Rick moans right along with her as they continue to make love into the wee hours of the morning.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[
She is sure to call Brian before 9 o'clock to let him know she wouldn't be in and to cover for her should anything come up. She spends the rest of the day in bed with her boyfriend. They come up for air, bathrooms breaks and sustenance, but go right back at it as if the world may end tomorrow.
The entire weekend is spent making love in whatever room they happen to be in, trying different positions, experimenting with food and liquids and just reveling in being alone together.
It's Sunday morning and Rick will have to leave in a few hours. Michonne is feeling guilty because she didn't prepare one meal for her man while he was staying with her, so she decided to get up and cook him a huge breakfast before he had to get on the road. She is at the stove, scrambling eggs when Rick walks into the kitchen in all of his glory, moving up behind her slowly.
"Coffee's ready if you want. I'll be done with breakfast in just a moment." She giggles when Rick wraps one arm around her waist and the other around her shoulders, slowly easing his hand inside her robe to fondle her breasts.
"Don't make me burn the eggs." She watches as he removes the egg filled skillet from the burner, turns it off and moves her toward the opposite counter. He kisses her softly before lifting her up onto the counter. He fingers her gently, ensuring that she is ready for him before pulling her to the edge and plunging in.
She gasps as she clutches at his shoulders, trying to hold on. He makes love to her slowly and tortuously. She pulls his head down to hers, getting lost in their kiss and the way he makes her feel.
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[
Several weeks have passed and Michonne is visiting King's County once again. She made it in early Friday morning, had lunch with her mother and Ms. Gladys and is now at Rick's house, waiting for him and Carl. She decides to spruce up the house a little and prepare a meal for her boys.
A couple of hours later, Rick arrives, but Carl isn't with him.
She greets him with a kiss. "Where's Carl?"
"Lori decided at the last minute she wanted him to attend his cousin's skating party, so I made arrangements to pick him up in the morning. Do you mind coming with me? I think you and Lori should meet," Rick informs.
"Ok." She agrees. Meeting his ex? This is big, right? Wow. Ok. All in….. She is brought back to matters at hand as Rick moves in and starts kissing her neck.
"Um…we have dinner waiting for us," she tells him.
"It can wait. I can't." He pulls her upstairs with him.
The next morning, they are in her car on their way to retrieve Carl. She can't help but be a little nervous. Nervousness makes her mind wander and she can't help thinking of the relationship Rick had with his ex. He answered all of the questions she had, including the anal ones about the furniture in his house and whether he was still utilizing items Lori had decorated with, etc. He let her know that Lori took mostly everything and his mom was the one who redecorated his house and helped him pick out all new furniture. She couldn't tell him how relieved she was to know that she wasn't sleeping in the bed he had shared with his ex-wife. That would have grossed her out.
Rick brings her back to the present as he parks the car in front of a nice modern home complete with a white picket fence and two car garage. The car ride wasn't long at all. She smiles as Rick comes around and opens her door for her, grabbing her hand as they make their way to the front door.
A tall brunette with a nice smile greets them at the door and invites them in. Carl is there to give them both a big hug as Rick makes the introductions. Lori's husband is working she informs them.
Carl and Rick move off to his room to help gather his things for the next couple of days, leaving Lori and Michonne alone in the living area. Lori offers her a seat and something to drink. Michonne sits down promptly, but declines the offer of a beverage.
"So, it's nice to finally meet you. Carl talks about you all the time," Lori tells her. "I'm really glad he likes you."
"Nice to meet you as well and yes, I'm glad that Carl and I get along so well," Michonne returns.
"Carl tells me you're an attorney." She pauses as Michonne agrees. "Nice independent type. Well, that's something new for Rick."
Michonne looks at her, trying to decipher the meaning behind her words. "Nothing wrong with trying new things, right?"
"No, not at all. There's a lot about you that's new for Rick." She gives a slight frown, then turns to face Rick and Carl as they return to the living room with his bags.
Michonne puts on a smile for them, but Lori's words are still running through her mind. The three of them bid Lori good bye as Rick promises to take Carl straight to school on Monday.
Lori's words stay with her for the remainder of the car ride. She wants to get Rick's take on it, but decides her best bet is to just forget about it. Rick's ex did sound just a little salty. Of course, Michonne can't fathom why she would rub Lori the wrong way. She was the one who didn't want Rick.
"So, what do you guys want to get into today? The weather's kind of nice. How about a picnic at the park?" She suggests, trying to forget about her meeting with Lori.
Carl smiles and agrees, so they make plans to spend the day at the park.
