I have nothing to say other than I hope you enjoy the chapter…

After dinner, Sam and I decided to take a drive so he could show me round town a bit. While driving, Sam grabbed my hand and for me, that solidified the direction of our relationship. It was simple, but it was the contentment and the intimacy that surrounded the action that set my heart ablaze.

"You know I'm so happy you are here and my family has fallen in love with you," Sam said taking glances at me.

"Your family is amazing Sam, I'm happy I'm here too. I feel so welcome." Sam kissed my hand. "You are welcome."

Sam was showing me a different side. A softer, more affectionate side and I loved it. He was comfortable and that allowed him to be himself. He pulled his truck into a bar called 116 Crown and turned off the engine.

"Are you up for having a drink with me," He asked while pulling his keys out of the ignition.

"No," I replied and he looked at me quickly. I laughed at the face he made and said, "I'm just kidding Mr. Evans. I could use a drink." I opened my door and laughed as I hopped out. Sam got out of the truck and immediately ran to my side.

"I never able to open doors when I'm around you, you realize that," He asked while grabbing my hand and leading me to the bar door.

"No I didn't, but I'll be mindful, next time, to sit and wait for you to show me you can be a gentleman." We both let out a chuckle and walked into the bar. We sat in an empty booth near the back and took in our surroundings. For a bar right in the middle of the New Haven suburbs, it had a modern/urban vibe. Very comfortable and low key.

The music was very sultry and inviting. I found myself swaying in my seat and Sam decided to grab my hand and pull me to the dance floor. I have to say that Sam Evans is a man that can move. He positioned our bodies where my back was to his front and he began to do a slow grind behind me. His hands gripping my hips firmly made me wind my hips a bit more. He placed his chin on my shoulder and started to nibble my ear. He knew exactly what he was doing. We continued to move in the same position until the first song, Marvin Gaye's I want you, ended. When "Let's stay together" began to play and he turned me around and held me at my waste.

We started doing a little two-step and I was really impressed with Sam's rhythm and dancing. It was one more thing to check off the list of 'reason I am so turned on by Mr. Evans.' We danced for a little while longer then headed back to our seat to have a drink. One drink quickly turned into three as we sat and talked. That was one thing we were good at, having casual conversation. We laughed and talked until I began to yawn. Sam paid the tab and pulled me from my seat, holding me close as we walked back to his truck.

When we made it back to his parent's house, he walked me to the door sneaking little rubs and brushed against my breast and butt. When we got to the door of the guest room, he lightly pushed me to the wall and placed his arms above my head where he towered over me and locked me in with his legs.

"You don't know how much I want to take you right her, right now," He said closer to my lips. He lightly brushed them in a tease that had my buzz tipping just a bit higher.

"Can I have you Mercy," He asked me. I closed the small distance between us and captured his lips. He moved his arms to grab my waste and hold me tight. Our tongues dueled and he groaned from his frustration and need. I pulled away.

"I have a proposition for you Mr. Evans," I said.

"I'll do whatever you want me to," He said quickly out of desperation. I opened my door and walked stepped into the room turning around to stop him from entering. "If you can last this weekend without touching me, we can spend the whole day Tuesday catching up on what we've missed."

He tried to say something, but I cut him off with a kiss. I backed away and quickly closed my door and locked it. I listened as he jiggled the knob and cussed under his breath. He soon walked away and I got ready for bed. When I jumped out of my shower, I had a text from Sam.

You got me Ms. Jones, but you have a deal. I smiled and settled in bed ready for a peaceful night's sleep.

The next morning, I woke up to the smell of bacon and biscuits. Feeling a little nauseous, I took my time getting ready. I put on a sensible pair of jeans and camisole and walked down stairs to see Stevie in the kitchen stealing bacon out the pan. He saw me and smirked, walking over to the table in the dining room. He sat down, pointing to a seat next to him for me to take. I sat and he looked at me as if he had to ask something important.

"I just have one question Mercedes," He said.

"And what is that Steven," I replied.

"How did my brother pull a fine sistah like you?" I raised my eyebrows in shock and looked the little Don Juan in the eyes.

"First of all, where in the suburbs of New Haven you learned that slang and second, your brother will have to explain how he 'pulled' me. I just know that he was honest and I like honesty."

Stevie shook his head listening. He was about to say something when Sam and Dwight walked into the dining room laughing. He looked at them but he leaned in and whispered, "Just so you know, I'm definitely down Ms. Mercedes." He finished with a wink and a smirk to his brothers. I couldn't help but laugh at what he said and the look on Sam's face.

He sat in the chair in from of me. "What is up with all that whispering," He said pointing between Stevie and me.

"Oh, it's nothing big bro, don't have a cow, I'm not trying to steal your girl."

"Boy, you couldn't even have me if you tried," I said.

Dwight and Sam laughed as Stevie turned red faced and silent. After their laughter settled down, Dwight looked at me and said good morning. He stood from his seat saying he forgot that he was to serve breakfast because Stacy and Karen had an early morning hair appointment. While he was away, Sam pulled me out of my seat. He grabbed my hand and walked with me to the patio. When we were out the door, he pulled me in close and kissed me, rubbing his hands over my back and butt.

"Good morning," He said releasing me from the kiss. I stood frozen in my spot and he walked back to the patio door. He turned to me and smiled. "Make sure you enjoy breakfast and then go rest, "I have a full day planned for you."

He chuckled a bit at the shock on my face, turned and disappeared into the house. I walked back in after a few minutes and found all the Evans men eating their breakfast and enjoying being able to have their bonding time. I sat and noticed Sam already fixed a few things on my plate. I looked at him and smiled feeling as if I were home.

Until next time…
