Flashback

Mercedes had finally made her mind up and she was ready to give her all to Shane. She loved him so much and couldn't see herself with anyone else. She knew he was her forever and wanted to make their anniversary amazing. She spent all day looking for something sexy to wear and settled on a lacy teddy that complimented her ample breast and fell just above her thighs and a matching set of lace underwear. She had gotten her curly hair blown own and it was now flowing beautifully around her face. She felt sexy and hoped Shane would see that way too. She spent the rest of the day getting dinner ready and setting up things for his surprise. She was so excited and nervous for this next step but she wasn't backing down now. After she finished getting everything set up she took a quick shower and got dressed, she wore a sexy body con dress that hugged her curves perfectly. She placed the teddy on her bathroom counter to put on after dinner. She heard the door and felt her heart began to pound. "Am I really about to do this?" she asked herself before shaking to rid herself of the nerves. She looked around once more and was smiled at how romantic everything looked. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hi, damn baby you look… sexy." Shane said admiring his girlfriend.

"Thanks, come in." She replied leaning to kiss him. Shane wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in for a deeper kiss. He kissed her gently then more passionately. His hands traveled down to her ass and squeezed before she pulled away breathing heavily and biting her lip. He wanted to be that lip.

"How about we eat first?" She said breaking their silence and walking toward the table. She had made his favorite steak, steamed broccoli and garlic roasted potatoes. Candles lined the dark wooden table with a dark green table runner and white rose petals for add effect.

"Mmm. Everything looks and smells good and I do me everything." He said standing behind her, moving her hair from her shoulder and kissing her gently on her neck. A soft moan escaped her before her head moved to the side letting him trail kissed further down her neck. His hands ran down her shoulders to her arms slowly turning her around to face him. He looked into her brown eyes and smiled before taking her lips by force. He loved how sweet her lips taste, licking her bottom lip then biting it. He heard her moan again and couldn't help but chuckle proud he could cause such a reaction. He was starting to get a little annoyed with her wanting to wait but something about how she was reacting made him realize that tonight might just be their night. He was happy he decided to come straight here first otherwise he might have missed out. A part of him felt guilty for allowing this to move further especially with him not being entirely faithful but he had been with Mercedes for three years and knew she was completely untouched. He wanted to be her first, something she would remember and cherish.

"Follow me." She said interrupting Shane's thoughts. She lead him down the hallway to her bedroom, a familiar place he'd come accustomed and the only thing different this time was that she was the one leading him there. He watched her ass as she walked in front of him, feeling his manhood move in excitement. Just thinking about how good she would feel made some of his fluid come out. When they got into her room he grabbed her and began kissing her again, moving his hands up the back of her dress and unzipping it. He ran his hands back down her bare back feeling her shudder before she pulled away and told him to undress while she ran into the bathroom.

"Holy shit." Mercedes said to herself running her hands through her hair and fanning herself. Shane had her blood boiling and her panties wet, just thinking about his lips made her moan. She looked down at the teddy and smiled, she was about to make love to the love of her life and she was excited. Stepping out of her dress she put the teddy on, sprayed a little of her perfume in the air and shimmied. She admired herself in the mirror for a moment and was pleased with what she was looking at, her skin was glowing from excitement and the material felt good against her body. She let out a breath she had been holding then stepped out of the bedroom, giggling at Shane's expression.

"DAMN. I mean baby, damn. Mhmm, You look-shit. You look amazing." Shane said moving from his spot on her bed to get closer to her. Mercedes smiled and bit her lip again causing him to let out a groan. He was going to enjoy making her moan, he cupped her face pulling her closer to him and kissed her. Flicking his tongue against hers while caressing her breast and thumbing her hard nipples. His hands moved down to her waist and around to her ample ass, slowly lifting her. She let out a shriek then wrapped her legs and arms around him. Looking down at him smiling before kissing him, moans leaving her each time their lips made contact. Shane turned and placed her in the center of the bed not wanting to let her go but needing to take his boxers off. He wasn't big on foreplay and couldn't hold back his hungry to be inside of her. He knew he'd need to be gentle and take it slow, when his boxers feel he heard a small yelp from Mercedes and smiled.

"Don't worry baby, I'll be gentle." He said climbing onto the bed. He grabbed her legs and began kissing them running his hand up her thighs and stopping at her core. Stroking her slit to see if she was ready for him and to his surprise her lace underwear was wet. He moved his hands to the band of the panties and pulled them down exposing her beautiful flesh. Moving to see her face before he inserted a finger into her warm body. She tensed up a little before relaxing again and began enjoying the feel of his finger inside her. He couldn't wait any longer and removed his finger, easing up to her while slowly rubbing his member against her clit causing her to arch her back at the sensation. He pulled away remembering he needed protection.

"Something wrong?" She asked suddenly feeling insecure.

"Nah, just need protection." He replied winking at her and putting the condom on before moving back to her waiting body. He spread her legs, giving her a final look to make sure she wasn't about to suddenly change her mind and when she nodded he eased himself into her noticing her wince and start to pull away. He gave her a second before proceeding further once he felt her body relax he began slowly thrusting in her. She was incredibly tight and warm he knew he wasn't going to last long because of how good she felt around him. He ran his hands under the teddy she was still wearing until he reached her breast, they were soft and her nubs were hard and begging for attention. He pull the straps off her shoulders and then pulled the fabric down until her breast were exposed so he could access them better. He put one in his mouth making her arch her back and giving him more room to move deeper inside her. His free hand gripped her waist to hold her in place while his thrust became more rhythmic and she began to moan. Hearing her moan put him so close to his peak that he lost control and began moving harder into her, grabbing one of her legs under the knee and thrusting a few more times before reaching his peak. He felt his self release and loved the feeling. He had finally slept with Mercedes and taken his price. He collapsed on top of her kissing her gently before rolling off of her and laying there looking at the ceiling feeling proud of his accomplishment.

"Is that it?" Mercedes thought to herself. She turned and looked at her boyfriend who seemed very pleased by what just happened. She wasn't sure what she expected but she'd at least hoped to get the teddy off before hand. What did she know anyway? She rolled over to Shane and rested on his chest before falling asleep. She quickly woke up remembering the candles and realized Shane wasn't there, she got up and looked in the bathroom to see if he was in there but he wasn't. When she walked into the living room the candles had been blown out and there was a note on the table.

Babe,

I had to run. Tonight was great.

-Shane

Mercedes was hit with a rush of sadness, why hadn't he woken her? Why didn't he just stay there with here? She felt tears filling her eyes but held them back because she felt she was overreacting. Was she? She had just given herself to him and he couldn't even say "goodbye" or "I love you" she felt the tears burning and let them fall. She felt she empty almost, did she just let him take that from her and now he's gone. Should she call? Should she text him? No, no, she would let him make that first step, she wasn't about to be the one looking like some obsessed woman. She wiped her tears and started cleaning up the untouched food she spent damn near two hours making. Once she finished she decided to shower and call it a night. So much for an anniversary. Once she got out the shower she heard knocking and threw on her robe to answer it, feeling a little silly for getting upset because she was sure it was Shane.

"Cedes, baby. How are you?"

"Umm… I'm good. Why are you here… this late?"

"Shane told me to meet him here, he's here isn't he?"

"No. He's not here."

"He left? I was sure he would be trying for- I mean, I know it's you guys anniversary."

"Tank, what did he tell you?"

"What? Nothing. I'll just call him later to see where-"

"Don't lie to me, you know something." Mercedes said grabbing his arm pulling him into her place and closing the door. She was starting to get a little angry at the thought of him telling Tank what they had done. Hell they haven't talked about why was he already telling him shit. She looked up and saw Tank staring at her and started to feel weird. She moved away from the door and went and sat on her love seat, grabbing the throw she had on it to cover up more. He followed and sat next to her, she shifted so that she wasn't so close to him and asked him again.

"What did Shane tell you?"

"Look, don't be mad. We're boys and we tell each other these things."

"What did he tell you?" She asked once more already knowing the answer but needing to hear it aloud.

"He told me you two finally had sex." He said sitting back and smirking at her. She wanted to slap that damn look off his face but she needed to know why he told him to meet him here. Shane knew she didn't really care for Tank but yet she had basically pulled him into her place in a damn robe.

"Oh he did, did he? When exactly did he tell you?"

"I'm assuming before he left."

"Did he give you details?" She asked looking at his face to see if could guess his answer. He was stone and his expression hadn't so much as given her a hint of anything.

"Details?" He asked leaning forward and raising his eyebrow. He was going to make her work for that answer and she knew it. So she decided to not play these games and stood up to walk him out.

"Never mind, Shane's not here and I really need to go study." She said walking past him before she felt his hand grab hers. She turned and looked at him before pulling her hand away. He stood up and moved right in front of her, he held her gaze for what seemed like forever before pulling at the tie on her robe. She stepped back and grabbed the robe before it fell open exposing her naked body. She turned and retied her robe and turned back around punching him in his face.

"Get the hell out." She said hard and walked passed him to open the door. He huffed and walked over to her slamming the door shut.

"Look. We've been doing this little flirting thing since you and Shane met, I was trying to be respectful of my boy but when he told me to meet him here and then you open the door looking like that..." He trailed off.

"Tank, I have never flirted with you, nor would I ever. I love Shane. So whatever you thought was happening was all in your head. Now, please leave." She said trying to open the door but he held it closed.

"Cedes, don't play like you're not attracted to me because I can tell you are. The glances you give me when you're around me and Shane. The way you bite your lip when I smile at you. I know you want me baby." He said moving closer to Mercedes.

"Dude, seriously. I don't want you, I bite my lip when I'm nervous and you make me feel nervous. Now leave before I call security." She said moving away from him and opening the door. She gave him a look to let him know she was serious and to not push her because she would fight if need be but she was hoping to leave things easy. He rolled his eyes and walked out the door turning and before she could close it he kissed her with so much force that she couldn't breathe. She tried to pull away but he grabbed her waist and pulled him into her holding on tight. She would have been lying if she said she felt a small tingle but she didn't want this and kneed him in the groin before slapping him.

"Ugh! Why are you fucking playing games Mercedes!" He shouted startling her. She knew if she didn't get rid of him her neighbors would hear and she didn't want that drama.

"Tank, for the last time, I'm not interested. Please leave and don't ever come back!" She said stepping back inside and quickly shutting and locking the door behind her. She took a deep breath and went to grab her phone to tell Shane about what just happened.

Shane, Tank was just here… we need to talk about him. -M

She waited for a response but never got one. She looked at the clock and realized it was after three A.M. She would try talking to him tomorrow and went into her room closing and locking that door as well. She knew Tank couldn't get in but she wanted to feel safe, throwing off her robe and climbing into bed she fell asleep faster than she thought she was going to, especially with her mind racing.

Sooooo... there's more! We're going to see more of feisty Mercedes too!
