Saints Hideout

All day the saints had been busy talking with different companies and production studios about promoting their brand. Pierce was trying to promote his music career while Marcus and Gat were in talks with the new head of Ultor.

"Let me get this straight you want us to join with... you" came the response from a surprised Marcus. He and Gat had been in the office of the hideout with the new head of Ultor Eric Gryphon and he was presenting the proposal of the saints and Ultor joining together with Ultor promoting the saints brand and turning them from a small time gang into a powerful organization.

"Whats the big deal you sign a few papers do a couple of ads maybe a movie or two and make lots of money whats not to love" Gryphon said with a wide grin. True Ultor had tried to kill them, but that was in the past and it was time for new direction.

"Ya, no offense but you gotta be fucken crazy" Gat said in agreement with Marcus who was glancing at him "look I say we just kill this bitch and be done with it" Gat's threat seemed to cause Gryphon to squirm in his seat but before he could reply Marcus spoke.

"look I'm not deciding anything yet i'll think about your proposal Gryphon now if you don't mind I got shit to do.

"That's all I ask I'll be in touch" gryphon stated and got up to leave and took the elevator.

"I think we should take his offer, it's a good way to make more money and we would become more widely known." Marcus said to Gat who just looked unsatisfied with the idea.

"whatever man but this will come back to bite us you watch. I'm gonna go hit up the strip club you coming." Marcus just looked out at the other saints and turned to answer.

"Nah i'm gonna stay here and relax" Gat left leaving Marcus to himself for most of the day, he had wondered where Shaundi had been since she hadn't been seen all day. He suspected she was avoiding him. Granted what happened last night was sudden and ended awkwardly but he had hoped they could talk about it so she would understand. But before he could think further on that problem pierce walked in "Hey boss you gotta check out this new TV show downstairs its crazy its got all these mascots that kill each other its some crazy shit"

"sure why not" Marcus said as he followed Pierce downstairs.

Shaundi had been avoiding the others all day and was sitting on a bench by TnA were she gave the boss the bomb to breakout Laura. Her mind had been running circles all day about what had happened last night her immediate reaction was shock, but later that night after she had gotten home she just sat and wondered if the feelings she had been having for him the last month or so were real or just some crush of the moment. She had to admit she was a little intimidated by him at first. She had heard the stories that Gat often told the others. But after seeing how he reacted after Carlos was killed and Aisha's death she could tell he cared about his friends and that he wasn't the ice-cold killer that everyone portrayed him to be.

She looked at her phone and noticed she had five missed calls with a sigh she got up and walked to her car. It was time she talked to him and settled what was between them once and for all.

Marcus's Penthouse

Marcus had been sitting on his couch going over the deal that Ultor and Gryphon presented to him. He was about to go to bed when he heard the buzzer from his door and already knowing who it would be he opened the door and stood there looking at a completely drenched Shaundi it had been raining hard again and he wondered how long she had been out in the rain her hair was a mess and her clothes clung to her body and for moment he was unable to think but quickly stepped aside and let her enter.

She walked towards the large windows and studied the rain as it fell down the glass.

The boss gave her a puzzled look "you okay" he asked not sure what else to say.

"ya, I've just had a lot on my mind today is all." she said He had already figured what was on her mind. Marcus just watched her for a moment and decided to break the silence.

"so I take it your here for a reason" he asked but got no reply as she just stared out at the rain filled darkness."you know why I'm here, we need to talk" She said finally turning to look at him.

"right I figured you'd want to talk, look I don't know what that was i-"

"was it real?" she asked suddenly cutting him off.

"Was what real?" Marcus replied suddenly lost.

"was it real or was it just an act of the moment" she asked moving to the couch

sighing Marcus joined her on the couch and turned to face her fully before answering

Marcus was unsure of what to say he had accepted the fact that it was probably just a one time thing but he never expected this.

"well aren't you going to say anything" she said fearing that she was making a mistake.

"i.. uh" Marcus was at a loss for words. Shaundi figured she should leave before she further embarrassed herself, she stood and turned to leave. "wait" he said as he stood in her path. And they returned to the couch.

"I think that what happened last night was something that I had not felt in a long time... when Fi died I never really saw myself going down that road again but." he looked up into her eyes. "now I think I can" he said in a quiet voice.

Shaundi felt like she was trying to force an answer out of him but she needed to hear the words so she would know once and for all that what she was feeling was real.

The boss hooked his finger under her chin and forced her to look at him they sat there for a moment staring into each others eyes trying to read the others thoughts. He then moved closer and planted a soft kiss on her lips. and in that moment Shaundi knew that what she was feeling was right and she pressed into the kiss further deepening it until the need for air became priority.

"wow" he said as he tried to get a handle on his breathing and scattered thoughts.

Finally their desires and emotions took over she moved to straddle him Arms braced around his neck, she lifted herself closer to him, her body replying with the same readiness he obviously felt. It soon became hard to catch their breath and she felt his deep reluctance as Marcus broke off the kiss. As he moved his hands to grab her waist, bringing them more snugly together before claiming her mouth again. His tongue slid smoothly against hers, exploring every bit of her mouth. gradually she began to feel his growing erection pressing out the fabric of his pants, pushing against her sex in a promise of things to come. She ground against him experimentally and was rewarded by a moan that reverberated through their mouths and a further hardening of his member. Taking that for encouragement, she started moving rhythmically, kneading her lower body against his, reveling in the growing pressure. alternating between running his hands up and down the length of her back and squeezing her soft curves. he grasped the hem of her tank-top to remove it revealing her lace clad cleavage. Before she could react Marcus had picked her up from his sitting position and proceeded to carry her up stairs to the bedroom.

Once in the bedroom he set her down on the bed and quickly pulled off his shirt joining her once more on the bed she sat atop him once more. were She assisted him in snapping off the straps of her bra and tossing it aside before cupping her own breasts, ready for his ministrations.

He responded by burying his face into her cleavage, running his stubble-roughened cheeks against the soft skin while his fingers reached to squeeze her already-hardened nipples, causing her to moan in pleasure. When he finally clamped down on her left nipple with his mouth, sucking hard on it, she felt as though she could come from the sensation alone. He brought his arms around her waist, arching her back as he rubbed his face against her neck, his tongue darting to lick the shallow depression where her clavicles met. She ran her hand through his hair, clutching it in fistfuls when he returned a hand to tend to her breast, his callused fingers making circles around the sensitized nipple, giving it a slow squeeze now and then.

She clambered off to help him remove his pants. His deep sigh was almost comical as his length finally sprung free, but just as she'd intended, his attention was soon riveted by the sight of her removing the rest of her clothing at an angle that left no doubt about how much she was ready for him. she traced an idle finger downwards before grasping the base of his shaft in a firm grip. He drew an audible breath at the contact and then relaxed.

The length of it was hot to touch and she could feel the throbbing beneath her fingers that belied her assertion. She tried not to laugh again as his expression came to mind while she ran her hand along the smooth skin until she reached the tip. Lowering her head, she placed her mouth over it.

"Oh, fuck!"

She began taking in as much of his length as she could, swirling her tongue around it. Gradually, she felt his fingers thread gently through her hair as she slid her lips up and down the expanse. A low guttural moan resounded deep within his throat and beneath her tongue, she could feel him harden a little more. She smiled her satisfaction around a mouthful of him. Leaning forward, she gave him a tender kiss, before climbing back onto his lap again, her eyes staying on his the whole time as she slowly eased herself onto his length.

They shared a tentative smile when he was as deep as possible within her. The feel of him inside her, stretching her passage was exquisite, but more importantly, it brought on a sense of completion, like the sealing of an unspoken pact. she flexed her knees and began moving. Slowly at first and then gathering speed, she focused on the feel of his length almost sliding out of her before she drove herself down on him again. Continuing their rhythm Marcus sat up and gave another searing kiss before he flipped them over so he was now above her. they resumed their pace as she drew his head close before tucking it against her neck, saying with that what failed for her as words. Against her, she felt Marcus's chest heave deeply as he savored their intimacy.

Their bodies were soon slick with sweat rubbing against each other, and their breathing a quick and harsh synchrony. She was quickly approaching her release. She climaxed with a shuddering moan, her inner muscles spamming convulsively around his length. He followed soon after, his whole body stiffening with a jolt that held true until he emptied himself within her. They clung on to each other for support before finally disengaging to collapse tiredly on the bed before sleep finally claimed them.
