A/N: This is a long one, the longest one I wrote so far probably the last, so this should last yall for a while! Remember Bold Italics are thoughts!

Chapter 10

"Ay yo! Earth to Aretha! " Santana snaps Mercedes out of her thoughts .

She blinks a couple times before focusing on her cousin on facetime.

"You were stuck way in here weren't you"

"Lo siento, Tana what were you saying ?"

She got another flashback of Jesse. This time, he was torturing her. As she peered over the villa, she couldn't help but get a flashback when she came across a familiar object in the terrace. Just as she was getting better she just had to zone out. It still affected her more than she wanted to admit.

"Well, I was asking when it was free for me to come over and grill the fuckboy and that primo told me about what happened the other night. Since you've been ignoring me and holding secrets from me! You're my favorite prima. You're lucky Tio had me do recon in Detroit because I don't appreciate my manita not telling me how it was meeting her novio or even the fact that you're going to Miami to get that slimy greasy pendejo without me!"

Mercedes sighs. Of course Marcello had told her. She was right though. They never kept secrets from each other and she knew Santana would want in on the operation to take down Jesse. She knew her cousin still felt guilty for what happened to her and still thought it was all her fault but it wasn't.

Neither of them would have guessed that Brittany was putting on an airhead act that Brittany. Her true intention was to gain intel on the Cartel and most importantly on Mercedes. At the time, Santana was just coming to terms with her sexuality and Brittany was the first woman she fell in love with. Mercedes couldn't fault her cousin from being blinded by love because neither of them could see how a manipulative bitch Brittany was.

It was St. James' plan all along. They didn't think that Jesse's infatuation with Mercedes was actually an obsession. He was watching her before they officially met at the charity ball. Jesse had every intention to make Mercedes his, whether she wanted it or not.

"Santana, I honestly don't want to talk about it. Not today, later, I promise you pero not right now"

Once she heard Mercedes call her by her full name she knew not to push further however a little teasing doesn't hurt.

"So how fine is your novio up close? I've seen the pics of him, Ay Dios Mio. That boy is fine. If i was straight I would put his big ass lips to good use!"

Mercedes couldn't help but burst out laughing at her crazy cousin.

"Lawd ah mercy, Tana! I can't"

"Que?! I've never seen a white boy with lips that big plus his body is fit. From what I heard, that boy is an animal in bed, you need to get on that or you'll continue to be drier than the Sahara! When's the last time you got some? That's not from your little vibrator "

"TANA! Ok, i'm going to hang up now. I'll call you back later, I want to explore more of the house, noche manita, besos"

"Aye, he's going to be your husband, you might as well put him to good use, besos manita!"

CLICK.

Mercedes walks throughout the villa, finding a gorgeous kitchen, two dining rooms, three sitting rooms, two offices, 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a game room, a bar, wine closet, a library, two meeting rooms and a big ass outside pool with a hot tub in the back. The villa was gorgeous and she couldn't help but admit the Evans had good taste.

As she heads towards the game room she notices another door. She opens the door to find stairs leading to another set of doors which follow and opens.

Oh, fuck yes!

Mercedes found the training room/gym with an impressive set of weapons on the walls. Mercedes may not be the skinniest, nor did she want to be but her body was amazing and was never short of compliments. Being a bigger girl didn't mean she was fit. Plus, God blessed her with her curves and she knew how to use them to her advantage. Luckily she was already in her workout gear, her skin tight legging and sports bra under her sweater.

First she goes over to the weapons wall and finds a set of kunai (throwing knives). I can't wait to try these babies out. Instead of taking the set off the wall she sees the punching bag in the corner. Mercedes takes off her sweater, pulls her hair in a pineapple, and grabs some tape and begins to bind her hands before going to the punching bag. Furiously ,she begins to attack, over and over again.

Right Jab. Squat. Lift kick. Combo. Squat. Left Jab.

Mercedes somehow found a way to spend the next couple of hours in the training room.

Sam arrives back at the villa in his ferrari. His dad's words keep playing in his brain on a loop as he makes his way into the house. If he was honest, his father was an asshole but had a good point, if he had Mercedes, he had the entire Jones Cartel and basically controlled the majority of what was east of the mississippi. Two of the most powerful mafias in North America and the Caribbean. He wanted that. To have a bigger empire than his dad. Plus, he wanted Mercedes. That girl has managed to make an imprint on his brain and most importantly his dick. He was going to enjoy getting her to submit to him.

Sam enters the house and begins to look for his fiancée, but she is nowhere to be found.

Until he walks towards the game room and hears grunts from below. Sam heads towards the training room with a grin.

First thing Sam sees is Mercedes pummelling a punching bag, sweat pouring off her and her hair up with a few of her kinky curls framing her face. His eyes were immediately drawn to the nape of her neck and he was so distracted that he didn't notice her turning to face him. Their heated gazes locked and Sam couldn't help but move towards her.

Cazzo, she was beautiful. He gets up close to her, the second time that day as she smirks up at him.

"Nice of you to show up, Salvatore."

"Yeah, well, my dad keeps me busy. I'm sure yours does too."

"Normally, yeah, but he's left for NYC and didn't think I needed to go. Honestly, that's fine, it saves me getting another lecture and listening to his bullshit on how he wants to dictate my life."

"Story of my life, our father are fucking twins.I swear to God, he only brought me to this operation today to assert his power over me."

Mercedes snorts at that, and nods her head in agreement. One thing they had in common was having dictatorial fathers.

"Mobs bosses who can't let their kids have a life. I spent the day overseeing the move-in like a fucking moron and gave myself a tour."

Sam grins at her as he imagines her shouting at men to move boxes, he bet even that would be sexy coming from her.

"And do you like the house ?"

Sam was the one who picked the house months ago, not realising he was going to have a housemate.

Mercedes shrugs nonchalantly.

"I guess, I have a lot of options in rooms to choose to hide." She sends him a cheeky smile.

"I can see that. It looks like you spent your time training. You said you can handle yourself? Time to prove it, principessa"

At first she wasn't going to feed into his bullshit but he's been underestimating her since they met and, perhaps, getting him to touch her all over when they sparred wouldn't hurt either. Same goes for Sam, he already saw she was good with a knife and is curious to see her more in action.

"Bring it, Guapo"

The duo head over to the matted floor. Sam got a wonderful view of her cleavage in the sports bra that looked as if it was barely restraining her bountiful breasts.

"Ah hem"

Sam takes his eyes off her breasts and meets Mercedes face who had a sly grin and her chestnut colored eye sparkled.

She trying to fucking kill me. Seduction to kill. She knew exactly what she was doing.

Two can play at that game, bambina. Sam takes off his shirt revealing one of the hottest chest Mercedes have ever seen. He had a six-no eight pack, his v was sickening, his body wasn't too skinny or stocky, just right and , with a sleeve tattoo on his left arm. Boy did Mercedes have weakness for tattoos, especially sleeves.

Chíngame. Mercedes' thoughts are quickly stalled once she hears Sam's deep voice playfully speak.

"Don't worry, bambina, I'll go easy on you."

"Oh Dios, Guapo, you couldn't keep up if you tried".

Mercedes launches at him, going for his left side, aiming a jab to his shoulder before she sweeps her leg beneath him and sends him crashing to the floor. Before he knew it, he was face down on the mat, his arm locked behind him and his legs pinned.

"You doing okay down there, amante", Mercedes says mockingly.

Sam pushes her off as he climbs to his feet. He'd never admit it out loud but she'd actually surprised him. She was quick, agile and stronger than she looked.

Sam wasn't going to let her beaming face last much longer though.

"Better savour it, bambina, because that's the last time you'll ever be on top."

Mercedes immediately caught the double meaning in his words, thank god for her brown skin to hide that fact she was blushing like some virgin schoolgirl?

But fuck, he keeps call her all these little Italian petnames with a bit of southern drawl. He also had a growl in his voice that matched perfectly with his lustful hungry gaze on her body. She never wanted anyone to fuck her this bad. Tana was right. She needs to end this fucking dry spell because she couldn't remember the last time someone other than her own fingers and vibrator gave her an orgasm.

Mercedes's thoughts were cut off by Sam 's movement. She instinctively sprang out of the way, going on the defense and manages to block the blow to her windpipe. She moves to punch his abdomen but Sam grabs her fist, twisting it and flipping her onto the ground.

Mercedes was quick to move out of his grip to get back on her feet. Not one to be on the defense she goes on the attack and sends a high kick towards his face that Sam manages to duck before grabbing that leg's ankle cause her to fall on the mat again. Mercedes uses her other leg to kick Sam in the jaw that seemingly didn't phase him as he rushes forward pushing his body on top of her, pinning her with his thighs on either side of her body, grabs her arms and pinned them above her head. Mercedes is panting underneath him as she fails to wiggles herself free from under him. Her wiggling was causing Sam to get hard as her lower region brushed against his.

Both look at each other with equal hunger.

Dammit he was strong and big.

Sam's eyes went from her breasts to her mouth that was slightly open. He could help but grind his hardened dick against her.

He bends his head closer to Mercedes's face and in an animalistic growl he says.

"You have no idea the things I want to do to you right now".

"Oh, don't I? You mean? You don't want to fuck me within an inch of my life? You don't want to take me right here on the mat? You don't want to pound into me and force me to know who's in charge ?"

"No, I want to do all of that. And much, much more."

Sam couldn't wait any longer, surges forward and crashes his lips against hers and Mercedes fervently returns. The kiss was desperate, passionate, and heated. All the pent up aggression and secxual tension was being released before one of them stopped.

Sam howls in pain as Mercedes ' knee connects with his groin and she leaps to her feet. She shoots him a wink to show she wasn't so close to given in. His lips, his grip on her body, the way his body felt on top of her was doing all types of things to her. But she knew she could get lost in that kiss, this was a game of seduction and she always wins.

"You'll have to do more than that to get me to spread eagle for you Papi chulo, and after that shit you pulled with Jake, be glad it was only a knee in the balls and you still got a taste."

Mercedes blows Sam a kiss before sauntering off with an extra twitch in her hips. Even with his position being on his back on the floor, Sam couldn't help but watch the mesmerizing sight of her ass. Cazzo. This woman is going to be the death of me. Sam has never been turned down before and swore all his moves would make her putty in his hands. He had been so close to tearing her clothes off and doing exactly what she just described before leaving. So close, so fucking close. Sam slams his hand on the floor.
