Song: How Will I Know- Whitney Houston

"Let's just go straight to dessert." He said grabbing the second bag and taking her hand in his.

They walked to her room. He had only been in her room a few times and the last time he was she very drunk. It was nicely decorated with dark purple covered walls, deep brown furniture and off white bedding, she had one wall made into a reading nook with books covering the walls and another with a single strip painted in chalkboard painting which he had since signed his name and left her funny message. Sam placed the bag on her end table then turned to Mercedes holding her gaze and biting his lip as he slowly removed her dress. His eyes following as inch by inch her body was exposed to him, her lace bra covering her breast and thick thighs and ample ass which was covered matching lace panties. His eyes worked their way back up her beautiful face, falling on her lips that she was biting. Looking deeply into her eyes, then trailing kisses from her forehead, down the bridge of her nose until he met her lips. He leaned down, grabbing her thighs and gently picked her up. Mercedes let out a soft moan and wrapped her legs around his waist and placed her arms around his neck kissing him deeply. He turned and walked to her bed where he gently sat her down and knelled in front of her so he was at eye level. He ran his hands up her legs to her thighs squeezing the higher he got until he reached her inner thighs slowly spreading them so he could move closer to her. Mercedes let out a soft moan and pulled him into kiss her, her body tingled at the feel of his hands rubbing her thighs and she arched her back when he brought his hands up her back slowly.

"Can I see you?" He asked tugging at her bra. Something about him asking turned her on even more than she already was.

"Yes." She said breathing heavily. Sam smiled and unclasped her bra and slowly removed her straps letting them fall down her arms. He took a moment to marvel at how beautiful her body was, he wanted to feel all of her and take his time doing it, he gently pushed her back so that she was laying on her back. He reached into the bag and grabbed a chocolate covered strawberry which had began to melt a little, he placed the strawberry above her belly button causing her to flinch slightly but relax again. She sat up on her elbow to see what he was doing and bit down when she saw the trail of chocolate. He looked at her and smiled before pushing her back down. He slowly moved the strawberry up her stomach up to the dip in her chest then circling her nipples then placing it above her lips.

"Bite." He said lowly and groans as she bites down on the strawberry. He moved back down her body and begins to lick the chocolate off her body slowly and savoring every bit of it, he goes slowly until he reaches her breast and flicking the left one before taking the hard bud into his mouth groaning then licking a trail to the right one. Mercedes hissed and moan loudly raking her hands through her hair.

"Can I taste you Mercy?" He asked sliding his hand down her body until he reached her lace covered slit and began rubbing her wetness. He could tell she wanted him but he wanted to hear her beg for it, he moved her panties to the side and started rubbing her clit softly. Mercedes moaned and muttered his name. She knew that it was going to be different with Sam but she had never had this sensation before, he was so gentle and his touch was driving her crazy.

"Mercy, let me taste you." Sam said inserting a finger into her core making her moan again and her breathing to increase at his slow thrusts.

"Yes… mmm..." She finally said before letting out a loud cry at the feel of his warm mouth against her tender flesh. Inhaling deeply to take in her sweet musk, Sam groaned before running his tongue slowly up her wetness stopping once before reaching her clit flicking it gently. Her loud moan encouraged him to keep going, he gently kissed her lower lips before repeating his actions only this time he paid more attention to her swollen bud. Licking and suckling her clit while she arched her back and thrust her hips forwards and grabbing at her comforter. He felt her legs slowing moving closer together and stopped them by grabbing hold of her thighs firmly and introduced his tongue to her core, wiggling it in and out of her tasting her sweet juices as she began to get closer to her peak. He lifted up to suck on her clit and inserted two fingers into her to send over the edge, he felt her stiffen then her whole body began shuddering as she rode out her climax and he heard the sweetest sound leave her lips.

"Sammy…." she breathed as she came down from her high and her body began to relax before she felt him trailing kissing up her body. Her sensitive skin tingled at every touch and she felt herself becoming aroused again. What the hell was he doing to her? She never felt this type of sensation after releasing, her body wanted him again and she was more than sure was about to get all of him and couldn't help the moan that came out her mouth as he reached her neck, slowing nipping and gently biting then following it with feathery kisses. She felt him grind his bulge into her center and her body instinctively arched up to fell him more. Sam could tell she wanted more and he wanted to feel her so badly.

His hardness was pressing against his jeans begging to be freed, he stood up unbuttoned his pants and removed them along with his boxer. He reached into his pant pocket and grabbed the condom from his wallet then tossed his wallet aside. Mercedes sat up to see what he was working with an immediately fell back letting out a low groan. Damn… he was blessed and she was more than sure that Shane didn't compare and couldn't help but wonder if she was going to be able to handle all of him. She felt him climb back over her and felt him ease her legs open with his knee before planting more kissing on her body. He gently rubbed his member along her slick opening before lining his self up with her. She took a deep breath in anticipation but nothing happened.

Rewind

...

"Did he send you over here?"

"Yes and no. I asked about you and his luck on winning you back and when he told about your little… encounter. I decided I should help him out a little."

"That bitch. So what? You came to explain his side of things or tell me some bullshit lie about how "he wasn't loving you right and I can do this or that." I don't know what you came here looking for but whatever it is, it's not here. Now get the hell out of my apartment." Mercedes said walking over to the door. Tank gave her a look then began unbuttoning his shirt as he walked over to her, Mercedes eyes fell on his toned body slowly being revealed and bit her lip. She needed him gone, she wasn't about to let anything happen with him. He was standing in front of her smiling and leaned down cupping her face and tracing the outline of her lips. She expected to feel some sort of rush or tingling but there wasn't anything. She couldn't help but laugh and push him away from her.

"This was entertaining but you need to leave, there's nothing here for you and if I'm being honest your whole act is tired." She said opening her door and waving her hand for him to leave.

"Look, I'm not going to keep taking too lightly to you acting this way with me. I let it slide once and-" Tank started before Mercedes interrupted.

"And what? You don't own me Tank. You and I were never EVER anything, you was just Shane's friend that thought he could run game on me while I was dating him. I told you then like I'm telling you now. I. AM. NOT. FUCKING. INTERESTED. Now get out of my house." She replied putting her hand on her hip and pointing to the door.

"You will regret this. This ain't over."

"Oh it's over and done with." She said starting to slam the door in his face only to have him stop it. She pushed again but it was too late he grabbed her and slammed her against the wall with so much force that couldn't stand. She tried to regain her composure but she hit her head and felt herself getting dizzy.

"I tried to play nice but you made me do this, you keep playing with me." He said standing over her with dark eyes. She tried move away from him but he pushed her again and everything went black.

"Shit! Cedes… wake up!"

"Dude! I fucked up! I'm at Cedes."

"What the fuck… what did you do to her?"

"Nothing, I just shoved her a little..."

"A little my ass! She's not moving!" Shane shouted before Tank gave him a death stare.

"Help me move her."

"No! You need to call for help. Why would you do this to her? What did she do to you?" Shane asked looking down at Mercedes.

"She kept playing me and I got tired of her talking to me like I was some bum. She knows she wants me but she won't let herself admit it." Tank said sounding completely crazy.

"She what? Dude, you know she was my girlfriend and if she said she didn't want you she meant it. I'm not helping you… not this time. I'm out and if you were smart you'd put her on the couch and leave too. That dude she's been hanging out with will probably be here soon." Shane said looking at Mercedes one last time before leaving. Tank looked at her and decided to take his friends advice he picked her up and placed her on her couch. He looked at her one more time and placed a kiss on her lips before leaving.

The Present

"Wha-what? Why am I..." Mercedes looked around but her eyes were having a hard time adjusting and her head was screaming. She tried to move but felt weighed down by something.

"Welcome back sleepy head. I started to wake you up but you seemed to be having such a great dream so I waited."

"Ow! What, why are you here?"

"You invited me? Are you okay Mercy?"

"Sammy?" She asked blinking her eyes but still couldn't focus fully on the figure in front of her.

"Yes. Mercedes are you okay?" He asked he could tell something was wrong but wasn't sure what it could have been. When he walked in she was asleep on her couch so he just went and grabbed her a blanket and sent some emails from his phone while he waited for her to wake up.

"I don't know, my head hurts and my vision is a little blurry. How long have you been here?" She said slowly sitting up and rubbing the back of her head. Sam grabbed her hand and placed his hand on the back of her head and saw the blood.

"Mercedes, what happened before I got here?" He said sharply.

"Tank… he was here but I told him to leave and he pushed me and then it went black." She said trying to remember anything else.

"Come on, you need to go to the hospital, you could be seriously hurt." He said grabbing her arm and helping her up. She shook her head in protest before grabbing her head again,

"No, I don't want to go there. I just need something for the headache. I'm fine." She said wincing at the light.

"Either you come willingly or I will make you. Those are your only options Mercedes." He said with a stern look. She knew he was serious because he never used her full name. She thought about challenging him but her head hurt so bad that she just nodded and let him take her.

After spending damn near seven hours in the hospital she was finally cleared to leave. She was told by the doctors that she had a mild concussion and to take it easy for the next couple of days. They asked her if she wanted to press charges which she decided against even though Sam wanted her to for her safety. She was tired and just wanted to rest, she wasn't sure what caused him to do that to her but she didn't want to dwell on it either.

"Thank you for taking me. I hate hospitals but it was nice having you there." She said once they pulled back up at their building.

"You don't have to thank me, I would hope someone would do the same for me." He said before getting out and walking to open her door.

"Come on let's you showered and in bed."

"Always so eager to get my clothes off." She said giggling but stopping when she saw that he wasn't smiling. He just nodded and walked her inside and to the elevator.

"Umm..." She started before he cut her off.

"Go upstairs, I'll grab you some clothes and your laptop so you can work from my place. You have your keys right?"

"Yes but-"

"Okay, I'll be up there in a minute." He said as the elevator doors opened and he gently nudged her in and pressed the button for his floor. She started to say something but he turned and walked towards her place. Sam entered Mercedes apartment and stood there for a moment before he headed towards her room. He walked to her closet and got the first bag he saw and placed it on her bed, then went to her dresser and went drawer by drawer gathering enough things to last her a few days. He knew she could always just come down and grab anything he'd forgotten but he wanted her close to make sure she was safe. He gathered pajamas, socks, clothes she could lounge around in and a few work clothes in case she needed to meet any of her clients. He went to her underwear drawer and was immediately confused on how she had it arranged, there was a divider separating them by what he could assume was material and color. He stood there for a minute trying to decide which ones to grab and decided to grab one of each, he went and grabbed her toiletries and then headed to her living room to gather her work stuff. After he got everything he could think of that she would want and need he headed upstairs to his place. When he walked in he heard her singing and walked towards his room and placed her things down. He leaned against the bathroom door and listened to her for a minute.

There's a boy I know
He's the one I dream of, oh
Looks into my eyes
Takes me to the clouds above

Oh, I lose control
Can't seem to get enough, uh huh
When I wake from dreaming
Tell me is it really love, uh huh

How will I know?
(Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?

How will I know?
(Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?

He felt his self getting caught up in her voice that he had to catch his hand before opening the door. He figured she'd be hungry since they never got to eat dinner as planned and went into the kitchen to throw something together for them both. He made them soup and sandwiches figuring a little comfort food will help her rest easy. He placed her food on a tray with a glass of ginger ale and took into his bedroom and froze when he saw her standing there in one of his shirts.

"I hope you don't mind, I just wanted something simple to sleep in… is that okay?" She asked tugging at the hem of the shirt.

"You can wear anything you want in my closet." He said smiling at her. He nodded towards the bed for her to sit down so he could give her the food he'd prepared. She sat against the head board and let him place the tray in her lap.

"Thank you Sammy. This looks amazing." She said softly before taking a bite of her sandwich. He just smiled and leaned over and kissed her on her forehead before standing up and walking over to his entertainment stand and grabbing three different movies.

"Captain America, Avengers: Infinity War or Avatar?" He asked looking back at her grinning.

"Defiantly Captain America, he's my man." She said giggling.

"I'll have to keep that in mind." he said laughing and putting the movie in and starting it for her.

"Did you eat?" She asked.

"No, but I will, I want to make sure you're comfortable first." He replied pulling the covers over her and turning the lamp off beside her. He gave her a soft kiss and grabbed the tray then walked back into the kitchen. He opted to eat the sandwich and clean up before heading for a shower. After his shower he debating joining her in the bed or sleeping on the couch he decided to let her have his room and started walking out before she made him stop.

"Where are you going?"

"The couch, it'll be ok for-"

"Okay well I'm coming too." She said sliding the covers down and moving to get up.

"No. I'll get in the bed." He saw the sly smile cross her lips and knew she got what she wanted in that moment. He walked over to the other side of the bed and slid under the covers shifting until he got into a comfortable position. Mercedes waited until he settled before moving closer to him and snuggling up to him. She wanted to feel close to him and she was still shaken up from earlier but didn't want him to know so she just laid her head on chest and felt his hand in her hair playing with her curls.

"You're soft everywhere." He said before he could stop it from coming out. He heard her giggle and it made him laugh.

"Well thank you… I think. You feel pretty good yourself, nice and warm."

"Merce?"

"Huh?"

"We will need to talk about this Tank person."

"I know but let's save it for tomorrow, I just want to be here with you." She said looking up at him. He nodded and kissed her before wrapping his arms around her and drifting off.

Sooo...? What we thinking? I will update again soon! I have dealing with no sleep and zero focus but I'm finally back on a good sleep pattern! I hope you all enjoyed this and still want more!
