Chapter 18

Sam laughed to himself as he heard his mother gasp when he told her he was dating THE MERCEDES JONES.

"Sammy, you have got to be pulling my leg, right?" His mom questioned loudly. "That girl is famous!"

"Yeah, I know Momma."

"No, I mean she is like really, really famous, Sammy."

"I know, Momma."

"And she is spitfire! I watched her music video with Stacy last week and she was amazing. She is super hot too!" Sam laughed at his mom's gushing.

"Yeah, I know Momma." Sam replied as he watched Sebastian, Mercedes, Tina and Mike who were still talking and laughing in the corner. Two people with notebooks walked up to the group and were asking Mercedes questions. Sam heard his mom let out a hoot.

"Oh man! Wait till I tell Stacy! She is going to be on cloud nine! You know she loves that woman! Did you meet her at the Arista studios while you're in Nashville? She came to your office down there?" His mom probed. Sam winced, remembering that he never told his mom about working for Mercedes as a personal assistant and body guard. It was never the right time, he tried to convince himself.

"Mmm, something like that, Momma."

"Well are you going to write some country music for her? Arista would be crazy not to let you write something for her." Sam bit his lower lip as he listened to his mom.

"Hmm, we're not sure yet, Momma."

"Well tell them to let you write that girl some country songs. After she visits with us next weekend, she is going to be 100% Country!" His mom ranted.

"Ok, Momma. I'll tell 'em. I gotta run. I'll give you the details of our trip later, ok?"

"Ok, sweetheart. We'll be ready for you guys next weekend." Sam's mom gave him a quick air kiss and hung up.

Sam laughed to himself as he heard his mother squeal before hanging up. His mom had been waiting for him to become serious with someone special ever since his last girlfriend dumped him. Sam knew his mom wanted him to settle down and give her a boatload of grandkids. Who knows, Sam thought, as he took in Mercedes, from head to toe. He absolutely loved how the canary yellow dress accentuated her beautiful ebony skin. She looked so luscious; he wanted to lick every exposed skin that he could get his lips on. He bit his lower lip as he walked to the group, and wrapped his arms around Mercedes' waist. He couldn't help pressing his chest against her bare back.

Just making physical contact with her had an instantaneous effect on Sam's body. Sam could feel his member stiffen immediately and tried desperately not to indulge in the overwhelming need to push her up against the wall and take her from behind until they were both screaming for satisfaction. Sam knew he needed to suppress that urge but feeling Mercedes slowly press her behind against him was driving him nuts. He was going to get her for being such a tease. His thoughts were finally broken when Sebastian slapped his back unexpectedly.

"Sam, these guys are from Spin Magazine." Sebastian pointed to the two interviewers who were scribbling furiously in their pads. "They wanted to get our take on Mercedes becoming a cross-over artist with hits on the pop, R&B and country charts. What do you think?" While Sebastian talked, Sam secretly reached down and held Mercedes' hands, lightly rubbing the inside of her palm with his thumb. He felt Mercedes' shudder at the sensation.

"I think Mercedes has a voice that is limitless. She has a range that many people don't even recognize. I know that she is going to sing operatic arias one day and going to blow everyone away. So country is a snap for her."

Mercedes felt her face flush as she embarrassedly looked up at Sam.

"Thank you Sam. That means a lot coming from you. You have an amazing ear and tremendous talent." Mercedes squeezed Sam's hand tightly, while Sam looked at her with a smile. The interviewers said their goodbyes, leaving the group alone.

"So Mr. Sugar Lips," Sebastian began as he smirked at Sam. "Why didn't you let me in on your decision to make your relationship public? A little heads up would have been nice. I would have had more photographers handy." The group laughed as Sam held on to Mercedes even closer.

"Sorry about that, Bass. I just saw her on stage and couldn't help it. After we sang together, I suddenly couldn't remember why we were trying to keep this quiet in the first place." He turned Mercedes around to look her in the eyes. "I didn't upset you, did I?" Sam was afraid Mercedes might be upset about his impulsive action. But when he looked into her eyes, he knew he had nothing to worry about. Mercedes' eyes looked at Sam with such love and adoration, Sam felt like he would melt into a puddle of water. Those eyes are going to be the death of me, he thought. She smiled softly at him as she shook her head.

"I think what you did… Sam, what you did…was…was…wonderful." She answered full of emotion. She took Sam's face in her hands and kissed him with a mountain worth of passion. When she finally pulled away from Sam, it took him a few minutes to even remember how to speak. He just stood there, open mouthed and in a daze. The rest of the group was standing there quietly mesmerized by the scene.

"Damn!" Sebastian gasped. "Anyone who got excited watching that, raise your hand?" Sebastian, Tina and Mike all raised their hands. Sam slowly raised his hand too. Mercedes shook her head as she seductively smirked.

"You guys, Sam and I are going to my dressing room." Mercedes' eyes stayed fixated on Sam. "We'll meet you at hotel later." She took Sam's hand as she led him to her dressing room. Sam obediently followed. The rest of the group watched them silently.

Mike turned to Sebastian and handed him the baby carriage. Then he turned to Tina and grabbed her hand.

"Empty dressing room. Now!" Mike growled as he looked at Tina hungrily. Tina's eyes darkened as she licked her lips.

"Follow me." She declared as she pulled Mike into a dressing room 2 feet away from them, slamming the door behind them. Sebastian pushed the baby carriage back and forth, as he pulled out his cellphone, dialing a number furiously.

"Hey, it's me. I need you to come over to my hotel room. Yes, now! And bring the hot fudge sauce." Sebastian's eyes twinkled.

Once Mercedes opened her dressing room, Sam immediately pulled her face into his and kissed her feverishly. He kicked the door shut with his foot, leaned her against the door and pressed his body onto hers.

Mercedes wrapped her arms around Sam's neck as Sam ran his hands up and down her curves. Mercedes loved how he touched her body like it was a work of art. He moaned in her mouth as he grabbed her behind and squeezed it firmly. Her ample behind was his favorite part of her body. He pressed her into him, making sure she felt every inch of his massively hard erection.

"You are so beautiful Ms. Jones. You have no idea."

Mercedes threw her head back and gasped as Sam's erection rubbed directly against her throbbing clit. She could feel the wetness from her core dripping down her leg. Sam kissed and sucked on Mercedes' neck as he slowly spinned her around. Her back facing him, he slowing unzipped her dress, letting the gown fall in a clump on the floor. He bit her shoulder when he saw that she was wearing a yellow strapless bustier and matching yellow thongs. He sucked on her ear lobe as his hands massaged her breasts.

"Why are you so fucking sexy?" he growled as kneaded her breasts firmly. With one hand, he brought her face to his and kissed her hungrily, while the other cupped her soaked panties, using his middle finger to circle her tender clit. Feeling Mercedes react so powerfully to his touch made Sam feel like a sex god. He wanted to make her feel amazing. Mercedes felt her body tremble as Sam slipped his hand inside her thongs and slid his finger inside her. She grinded her hips against his hand as he continued to stroke her.

"That's right, Baby. I want you dripping wet for me. Can you do that for me, Beautiful?"

She panted and moaned at the intense feeling stirring inside her. He stroked her until he felt her body begin to quiver violently. He pulled his finger out and sucked it clean.

Sam gently guided Mercedes to the couch in the middle of the room. He positioned her to stand in front of the couch, bending over so her hands grasped the back of the couch. He then came behind her, and slid her thongs off, kissing her inside and outer thighs. Positioning himself on the floor so that her sex was displayed right in front on him. Grabbing her ass, he proceeded to

Suck her clit….

Lick her juices…

Devouring her entire core…Mercedes' natural juices streamed down his throat, his shirt and his pants. Mercedes was exploding so intensely she didn't think she could stand up much longer. Her legs were physically shaking. Sensing that, Sam slipped his pants and underwear down, and sheathed himself quickly. He then sat on the couch and lowered Mercedes down on his rock hard dick. Now straddling him, Mercedes winded her body into Sam's and they both found a rhythm where they were bucking and riding each other.

"Oh Sammy. You feel so good. So amazing." Mercedes sighed.

Sam sank his fingers into Mercedes' hips as he pushed and pulled her deeper and deeper. Mercedes' breasts bounced as her pussy clinched down on Sam's dick. The feel of her surrounding him was so incredible he groaned loudly.

"Sam, I'm…I'm cumming." Mercedes moaned as sweat dripped down her back. In one motion, Sam lifted Mercedes, laid her back on the couch. He placed her legs on his shoulders and proceeded to fuck her senseless. He pumped desperately inside her, excited by the sound of their flesh making contact over and over.

"Mercy… I'm cumming too." He moaned.

"Cum with me, Baby." She begged. Almost immediately they both reached wave after wave of climax. Breathless, Sam laid his forehead against Mercedes. They both held each other, trying to calm their rapidly beating heartbeats.

"What am I going to do with you?" Mercedes whispered as she kissed his lips softly.

"Just love me." Sam whispered back as he returned her kisses, gently caressing her face.

On the way to the hotel, Sam and Mercedes decided to pick up some Chinese take out for dinner. They laughed as they fed each other food and talked on Mercedes' bed.

"So," Sam began as he held a fried dumpling in front on her. Mercedes opens her mouth and takes it in. "I was thinking about next weekend." Mercedes nodded her head as she picked up a napkin and wiped Sam's greasy lips.

"Mmmhmm. That's our free weekend." She replied. Sam's eyes widened.

"Right! It is. And I thought maybe we could do something special. Maybe even go away together." Mercedes' face beamed.

"Yeah, I'd like that." She smiled.

"Really? Good. I thought maybe we could take in a show." Sam fished around. Mercedes nodded her head.

"Cool."

"Maybe take a long drive."

"Nice." Mercedes put a piece of eggroll in her mouth.

"Oh and probably visit my family." Sam mumbled out quickly. Mercedes began to cough and a piece of eggroll flew out of her mouth. Coughing, she reached for a can of soda.

"Say what now?" she replied as she sipped her soda. Sam rubbed the back of his neck as he looked down at his plate. "I said visit my family. I want you to come with me to meet my family."

"Oh." Mercedes wiped her mouth with her napkin as her eyes widened. "So you mean, your mom, dad, Stacy and Stevie. Like everybody?" Sam nodded his head. Mercedes took a deep breath and then started to nod her head as well.

"Okay." She replied confidently. Sam looked at her surprised.

"Really?"

"Yeah." She responded even more confidently. "I mean, it's only right. You met Sadie and my daddy. I should meet your family. No…I want to meet your family." Sam started to smile his 100 watt lop sided grin, his eyes shining. Mercedes looked down at her lap self-consciously.

"What?" she asked shly.

"Just…you." He responded as he held her face in his hand and kissed her lips gently. He leaned his forehead on hers. "You're amazing."

"So are you." She whispered as she kissed him softly.

"Now," she began as she pushed him playfully, "Tell me everything about your family. I have a ton of things to buy before our trip and I want to get each of them something awesome." Sam grimaced as he put a spoonful of rice in his mouth.

"No, Mercy. No gifts. You don't have to buy their approval." Mercedes rolled her eyes.

"First of all," Mercedes mockingly puts her hands on her hips and smirked at Sam. "I don't need to buy their approval, because they are going to love me. Period." Sam laughed as he nodded in agreement.

"Second," She continued with attitude, "I love shopping and this gives me an excuse to do go for them as well as for myself. And thirdly, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing it." Mercedes held a fried dumpling in front of Sam's mouth. Sam shook his head and opened his mouth. Mercedes giggled as he took a bite of the dumpling.

"Fine, Ms. Jones. Shop till you drop. Just don't go overboard, ok?" Mercedes mockingly crossed her heart.

"Oh, by the way," Sam added nonchalantly as he held a fried shrimp in front of Mercedes. "My folks don't know anything about the P.A. job, so we don't have to mention it, alright?" Mercedes made a face as she took a bite of the shrimp.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. It's just that my family doesn't know that my label let me go and that I didn't have a job for awhile. No big deal." Sam continued to eat his fried rice, while Mercedes sat staring at him.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you tell them you were working for me?" Sam shrugged.

"I guess it never came up." Mercedes titled her head to the side.

"Never came up? Sam, you talk to your mom every Sunday. You talk to her and rest of your family for hours at a time. How does it never come up that you are working for me?" Sam pushed his plate to the side and took Mercedes' hand.

"Baby, can we not get into this? I don't want to talk about it and it's not that important."

"But Sam-" Mercedes started to protest, but Sam held his finger to her lips and then kissed her.

"Sammy…" Mercedes moaned as she closed her eyes and indulged in the kiss. In her head, she knew that this conversation would have to come back up. But for now, she decided to let it pass.

Tina shook her head as she pulled a leather jacket out of the wall display. The friends were shopping at the mall for gifts for Sam's family.

"Mercy, stay out of it." She declared as she held the jacket against her chest for Mercedes' approval. Mercedes made a face and then shook her head "no". Tina shrugged her shoulders and put the jacket back.

"Tina, don't you think it's weird that he didn't tell his folks about his job with me? I mean, what is he ashamed of?" She wondered aloud as she picked through the shirts in the center roundabout.

"Yeah, what's so embarrassing from being the top song writer in your field to being a personal assistant to a singer? That's not humiliating at all?" Tina retorted. Mercedes sucked her teeth.

"Ok, I know it's not exactly glamorous…"

"Mercedes," Tina interjected, "It's embarrassing for a guy like Sam. You know he is a "work hard and do it myself" kind of guy."

"Yeah, I know. I just think it's weird."

"Yeah, it is weird." Tina agreed as she held up a sweater to Mercedes who nodded approvingly. "But it is still his business Mercy. Don't interfere. Respect his wishes and keep your mouth shut."

"Even if I think he is making a mistake." Mercedes asked as she stared at Tina. Tina sighed as she stopped looking through clothes and rubbed her hand on her friend's shoulder.

"Mercedes, Sam has his reasons for not telling his parents the truth about his job. Let him deal with it. You cannot try to control this situation for him. He has to deal with it himself." Mercedes looked at Tina thoughtfully and then nodded her head.

"I guess you're right. I just don't want to see him make a small situation worse."

"I agree." Tina pulled Mercedes into a hug. "Plus, it's hard to see someone you love hurting." Mercedes nodded her head silently.

"I hate seeing him hurt. It kills me." Mercedes lamented as she looked down at her hands. Tina couldn't help smiling at her.

"I love seeing you all in love. You're all soft and gooey." Tina teased as she tickled Mercedes' sides. Mercedes giggled as she lightly shoved Tina and quickly walked away.

****Sorry for the delay on this chapter you guys. Inspiration was nowhere to be found. But I mustered up a little somethin'-somethin' for you guys. Next chapter, they will be visiting Sam's fam. Let's hope Mercedes can keep her mouth shut. Do you think she should? Let me know. Tootles xoxo
