Jack stood over the stove, cooking breakfast as he heard the front door open. He sat the spatula on the counter then walked into the hallway to see Selena with the dog on a leash and the kids panting beside her.
He licked his bottom lip when he seen her with her hair pulled into a ponytail wearing a black sports bra and leggings.
Selena kneeled down to take the leash off of Grizzly when she seen Jack in a light blue shirt and jeans. "Hey, babe." She smiled at him.
"Hey, Dad." Dylan and Naomi said simultaneously, still trying to catch their breath.
Jack chuckled. "Hey. What happened with you two?"
"Mama promised us ice cream if we could keep up with her while she jogged around the block." Dylan finally caught his breath then used the back of his hand to wipe away the little bit of sweat on his forehead.
Selena walked over to the coat rack and hung the leash up. "We were gonna ask if you wanted to come, but you wouldn't get up."
"I would've said no anyways." Jack then lead the kids into the kitchen where his brothers then came through the back doors.
"What a beautiful fucking morning." Bobby grinned as he sat at the counter, not realizing the kids were in the house. "C'mon Betty cracker, serve it up." He enthusiastically patted the counter with the palms of his hands.
Jerry sat down next to him. "Why don't you shut up? Don't you see the kids in here, man?"
Angel showed off his pearly whites with a wide smile. "Look at them little babies. All cute just like they mama." He shot Jack a taunting smirk as he picked Naomi up and ruffled Dylan's hair.
Bobby signed. "Let's just pray to God that they don't end up like their father. Ugly and ga-"
Selena then walked into the kitchen. "Shut up Bobby. Don't finish whatever you were about to say. We don't want our kids to be close minded like you." She said, wrapping her arms around Jack's waist, pressing her cheek against his chest.
Jerry and Angel nodded in agreement. "Exactly." They both spoke.
"Well isn't it, miss Amityville horror, herself." Bobby teased, getting a glare out of her. "And for your information, I am not close minded." He argued. "Two of my brothers are black and my other brother is a fruitcake and I would die for them. I'm the least closed minded person in this house."
Snorts of disbelief filled the room, knowing Bobby was also in denial and a liar too as he shrugged it off.
Selena looked up at Jack. "I'm gonna go take a shower."
He nodded in response and kissed her lips before she turned around. As she walked out the room, Jack turned towards his brothers. "Do me a favor and watch them for a bit."
"What about the food?" Bobby asked.
Jack waved him off. "Finish cooking it yourself." He walked out the room and upstairs into the bathroom where Selena was removing her sports bra.
He walked up behind her, placing his hands gently on her waist as he nibbled on her ear. "When was the last time I made you feel good?"
Selena hummed a laugh as Jack's hands caressed the lower curve of her breast. "The night before you left, so maybe about six days, maybe seven."
"Mmm." Jack started to leave soft kisses along her neck down to her shoulder, pressing against her. "That's too long. I think it's time to break that streak, don't you?"
Selena let out a small gasp as Jack's fingers found their way inside her panties. "Mhm." She answered.
Jack turned her around, his lips hungrily meeting hers. His hands wrapped around the back of her thighs, lifting her off the floor then carrying her to the counter.
Selena pulled off his shirt, throwing it to the side before he tugged down her leggings, tossing them to the pile where his shirt was.
Squeezing her thighs, he smirked at her. "You are so beautiful."
A smile touched her plump lips before grabbing him by his neck and kissing him hard then undoing his belt.
After getting rid of their clothes, Jack took her on a wave of pleasure, showing affection to every inch of her body. Seven days almost made her forget how amazing he made her feel.
His head then rested on her shoulder as she raked her fingers through his hair. "I love you." She quietly told him.
Jack smiled and lifted his head to meet her eyes. "I love you too baby, so much." He pressed his lips against hers for a long moment until she pulled away.
"Now I really need a shower." She laughed. "Wanna join?"
Jack nodded. "I might as well."
Selena wrapped a towel around her as she stepped out the shower, leaving Jack with a peck on the lips.
She walked into the closet and dropped her towel. Not wanting to put an outfit together, she yelled into the bathroom, "Babe, can I wear one of your shirts?"
"Yeah!" He shouted back.
Selena smiled and put on Jack's Guns N' Roses t-shirt that was long enough to cover her thighs. She then walked into the bedroom and tied her hair into a bun and fell onto the bed.
Only a minute later, Jack came out the bathroom, the towel covering everything below his v-line, his dark hair dripping onto the floor.
He grinned over at Selena, then walked towards the bed and hovered over her. "Hey, babyface." He taunted her, sweetly kissing her neck and throat.
Water dripping on her forehead and neck, Selena tried to push Jack off. "First off, I don't have a baby face and second, get off, you're getting me wet."
"You were just wet and you weren't complaining then, huh?" Jack chuckled. "And I mean that in every sense of the word, babygirl."
Selena laughed. "At least dry off first before touching me."
"Shut up." Jack's fingers began attacking her side, making her laugh uncontrollably and squirm.
Giggles were escaping her lips as he tickled her mercilessly. "Stop, stop! Stop, Jack! Adam, stop! Please stop, Jack!" She begged in between her laughs.
But Jack wasn't laughing anymore. He paused as a scowl formed across his face. "What in the fuck did you just call me?"
Selena's laughs came to an end as she looked up at him innocently. "Huh?"
"Don't 'huh' me. What the fuck did you call you me?"
Selena propped herself up on her elbows, furrowing her brows in confusion. "I called you your name. I said, Jack. That is your name, right?"
"Don't get cute." Jack scoffed. "My name is Jack, not Adam. Who in the fuck is Adam, Selena?"
Selena's heart stopped, not realizing that someone's name slipped out of her mouth. "Nobody." She answered under her breath.
"Yeah, nobody to me, but clearly somebody to you."
"Baby, stop." She reached to grab his hand, but he pulled it back as if it stung him.
"Don't touch me." Jack stepped back and walked over to the dresser, pulling out a black shirt that had a rose on the top left of it along with black jeans and boxers.
"I can't touch you now? Are you serious?"
Jack nodded, pulling on his boxers. "Nope. Fuck you and get out of my room."
Selena let out a laugh, folding her arms. "Your room? You can't kick me out of our bedroom."
"My room." He corrected. "I'm the one who pays for this shit, so get out. Until you tell me who the fuck Adam is, I don't want to talk to you and I don't want to see you right now, so bye Selena."
"I'm not even about to feed your ego." Selena stood up from the bed. "So, fine. I didn't want to be in here with you anymore anyways." As she walked by she took the shirt he was holding, out of his hands and threw it onto the floor. "Asshole." She muttered before leaving the room.
It's been a day and Jack still hadn't spoken a word to Selena. She wasn't telling him who Adam was and he couldn't help but think she was cheating on him. Why else would she call out another guy's name?
The guys went out for drinks and Selena tagged along, invited by Jack's brothers since they noticed that she was tired from a long day at work and the kids were hard to put to sleep, but Cherry helped out, so Selena could relax.
Selena sipped on her martini as she gazed at Jack who was too busy talking to his brothers to even look next to him.
When she first took a seat next to him, he simply rolled his eyes and started a conversation with his brothers, making her feel out of place.
After ten minutes of her getting tired of him ignoring her, she spoke up. "Jack, can you talk to me, please?" She nearly begged, sounding desperate, making him turn his head with an annoyed glint in his eye.
"What?" He groused.
"We can't talk about this? How are we gonna get anywhere if we don't talk about it?"
"Are you gonna tell me who Adam is?"
Selena gnawed on her bottom lip, in thought as she observed his face, his blue eyes cold and dark, searching hers for an answer.
"Adam is from a book I was reading." She lied through her teeth.
Jack snorted. "Wow." He shook his head. "What a wife you are. All of a sudden you know who he is. Don't play me like I'm fucking stupid."
Selena wrapped her hand around his forearm, squeezing him tight. "Jack, why can't you just believe that I slipped up? I'm not cheating on you."
Jack drank a bit of his whiskey then glared at her. "Slipped up? Selena, I can understand if you called me Dylan or some shit, but another guy's name? Someone who I don't even know? That's not a slip up. That's an argument and congratulations you got that."
Selena sucked her teeth. "I'm sorry."
"You're gonna be sorry until you tell me whoever that is. Besides the kids, I should be the only name on your mind."
"But Jack, I- "
Jack pinched the bridge of his nose and squeezed his eyes shut then interrupted her. "Do you even remember saying it?" He dully looked over at her, tired of going over this.
It was simple, either tell him who Adam was or leave him alone until she can. It wasn't rocket science.
Shaking her head, she mumbled, "No."
Jack nodded, knowing she must say that name on a regular basis. "That's all I need to know." He brought his glass up to lips, swallowing the hard liquor. "Leave me alone right now."
Selena's jaw almost dropped to the floor. After all the things he's done to her, he couldn't try to understand or listen to her for the one time she fucked up?
She stepped down from the stool and began to search through her clutch for her phone to call Monica as she walked across the floor where only a few people socialized and danced, then she bumped into something hard.
She looked up to see a man with tan skin, hazel eyes, and dark brown hair. He was wearing a grin that showed off his dimples and white teeth.
"Adam, hey." Selena smiled, her heart beating fast as a bass drum.
"Hey...I thought you couldn't get any better looking outside of work, but here you are. You look really stunning out of your scrubs." He complimented her with a small laugh.
Selena then felt warm hands slide from behind her and around her waist, the faint smell of cologne surrounded her, almost making her knees go weak.
"Yeah, but she's with me and lives with me. And has kids by me, and is also married to me." Jack told Adam, taunting him with a smirk. "Who exactly are you again? Haven't heard anything about you."
Adam chuckled. "I'm Adam. I work with Selena, that's all. Not much to it. I know who you are, so no need to inform me." He smiled.
"I wasn't going to."
Selena couldn't believe Jack was acting like this. Well she could, but after ignoring her for two days? She was kind of pissed that the only time he acknowledged her was when he seen someone hitting on her.
Adam rubbed the back of his neck. "I'll just go. I'll see you at work tomorrow, bye." He throws her a tight smile as he waves and walks off.
Jack grabbed her hand and nearly dragged her out of the bar into the car, leaving their brothers. Jack and Angel rode in his car on the way to the bar while Selena rode in Bobby's car because he refused to ride with her.
"You know you didn't have to act like that, Jack. You were rude for no reason." Selena told him.
Jack kept his eyes on the road ahead of him, trying to keep control, not saying anything.
Selena let out a sigh and sat back in her seat. They were already back to that. "I hate you." She muttered lowly, but she was positive he heard it.
Once they got home, Jack took off his hoodie and threw the keys onto the table beside the door. "So, Adam is someone you work with and you didn't tell me and played stupid the whole time I've been asking you who he was."
"Because it wasn't that serious."
"Then why didn't you fucking tell me?" Jack almost shouted at her, but it was enough to making her jump.
Only a second later, the redhead babysitter walked out of the living room and towards the front of the house.
Cherry grabbed her coat and smiled at them, eager to get away from their argument. "Goodnight, Mr. and Mrs. Mercer." Before they could say it back, she was out the door.
"You worked with Kiana and I didn't know about it." Selena pointed out.
"Okay, her name didn't slip out though and I never thought about her while I was with you."
Selena let out a small chuckle. "Yeah, you just fucked her instead."
"We weren't together!"
"Exactly! So, why does it matter who Adam is when I only fucked with him when we weren't together."
Jack paused for a long moment then rubbed his hand across his face. "You fucked with him?"
"Not really. After work, he came over and we had a few dri-"
"He was in my fucking house? Around my kids?"
"They were asleep."
"That's not the point. I don't care who you work with, but he's obviously more than a co-worker if he's been around my kids and inside my house." He shook his head in disbelief then glared at her. "Did you fuck him?"
Selena eyes widened. "Did you really just ask me that?"
"Yeah, I really just asked you that and don't make me ask you again."
"No. I didn't. Do you think I'm some kind of slut?"
"I didn't say that, but he was over here so I think I had every right to ask. What if I called you another girls name, huh?"
Jack stared at her as he waited on an answer he didn't get, so he answered for her. "All hell would break lose and you know it. You would be throwing every goddamn dish in the kitchen."
Selena rolled her eyes. "Why are you damn jealous over something like this?"
Jack snickered. "Jealous? You think this is jealousy? Selena, I'm fucking pissed because you are my wife and I shouldn't have to play twenty questions with you to find out who in the hell some other guy is!"
Selena put her palms up, surrendering. "Jack, okay, I fucked up. What else do you want me to say? He came over once and that was it, and there wasn't even flirting going on. I don't know what else you want me to do. I give up on this." She then walked up the stairs and into her kids rooms.
She checked on Dylan, giving him a kiss before going to Naomi's room and doing the same. Dragging herself to her room, she took in a deep breath, and opened the door to the bedroom.
As soon as she shut the door, she was pinned against it, rough kisses lingering down her neck, making her moan softly.
Jack practically ripped their clothes off, before he entered her. She was wet and she didn't even realize it until how easy it was to slide into her.
His hands tightly gripped her waist, nails digging into her skin as he thrusted into hard, making her gasp for air.
Jack leaned into close, biting and nibbling on her ear as she pulled on his thick hair. "Who's pussy is this?"
Selena was caught off guard and surprised because some things he didn't normally do, but when he did, she grew hotter.
Selena let out a whimper, "Yours."
His thrust began to tease her as he began to go slow and gentle, the opposite of what he's been doing. "I better not hear another guy's name slip out again. Do you hear me?"
Selena nodded eagerly, wanting more of what he was giving her. "Yes, Jack." Her words coming out as a moan.
She begins to buck her hips towards his, begging for more. Jack holds her still and drives deep into her relentlessly, making her eyes roll in the back of her head and her lips part, not having the energy to moan.
Her back slammed against the wood each time his hips met hers, all of his anger and frustration being taken out on her.
It only lasted another moment until Selena climaxed, triggering Jack's as he rode out his high, their lips meshing together.
Jack pulled away then pulled his boxers back up, kicking his jeans to the side. "Don't do it again." He sternly told her.
Selena's legs buckled once she grabbed her slip that was on top of the dresser, thank God Jack wasn't paying attention to see her walk like Bambi.
She slipped into her slip and finally managed to catch her breath. Collapsing on top of the bedsheets at the edge of the bed, she gazed over at Jack who's back was lying against the headboard and pulling out his spliff box from the nightstand.
Jack first reached for the rolling paper to roll a spliff then changed his mind and went for the tobacco paper to roll a blunt.
He placed the weed in the wrap then used his fingers to roll the wrap, securing the weed then grazed it with tongue.
After lighting it, he took his first inhale and raised his brows when Selena stuck her hand out for it. "When was the last time you had a drug test?"
"A few days ago."
"Alright." Jack shrugged loosely. "Don't get fired" He handed her the blunt and watched her inhale it.
His thumb began tracing her 'sunshine' tattoo along the side on her right foot. "I meant to tell you that Anita Tran wants to do an interview with you."
"Only me?"
Jack nodded and took back the blunt then brought it to his lips. "Only you."
Selena raised her brows and let out a breathless laugh. "Why?"
"I don't know. Cause you're married to one of the most famous rockstars in the world and they probably want to know what's the life is like. I told them it was up to you, so they're still waiting on an answer."
"I guess I can do it. Is it one of those private interviews?"
Jack blew a puff of smoke into the air. "Those are the only kind she does. She's like Barbra Walters, except she's like twenty something."
Selena tsk'ed. "You have to go a long way to be compared to Barbra Walters."
Jack shrugged. "You know what I mean."
Selena hummed and ran her fingers through her hair then looked over at Jack. "Should I do it?"
Jack keeps his gaze on her as he takes a long drag, holding in the smoke as he answers her, "If that's what you wanna do babe." He then exhales as she made up her mind, handing it back to her.
"Yeah, I'll do it...But I wanna talk to someone else first."
Jack's eyebrows pinched together. "Who?"
"Kiana."
