Marcus and Robyn entered the house and took off their coats. After hanging them up, Robyn turned to look at him. She smiled then turned and walked to the stairs. He scooped her bag up off the floor where he left it earlier and quickly followed her up the stairs.
"What a view," he said, watching her walk in front of him. She laughed in response. They walked into his bedroom and he turned to put her bag in his closet. Turning back to her, he found her watching him while she took her heels off. He flipped on the fireplace and sound system and connected to a playlist of neo soul.
"Help me?" she asked, walking over and turning her back to him, gesturing to her zipper.
She looked over her shoulder at him. He slowly lowered the zipper before pulling her back into a hug against his chest and kissing her neck. He released her and turned her to face him. She let her dress fall to the floor as she turned. She stood before him in a black bustier and panty set.
"Jesus Baby," he said in a low voice as he looked her over.
"You're overdressed," she said, loosening and removing his tie. She dropped it on the floor before reaching up to push his coat off. They unbuttoned his shirt and she moved on to his pants while he took the shirt off. A moment later, he was in front of her in only boxers. "That's a good start," she said, stepping forward into his arms and softly kissing him.
"I've been looking forward to this since the last time you left," he told her, holding her ass and pulling her against him.
"I'll admit I've had a one track mind myself recently," she said, kissing him again.
He walked her a few steps backwards and pressed her into the wall. They groaned as their bodies connected with each other. What started off as sweet kisses, quickly turned heated. He slid his leg between hers and she pressed down and rubbed against him. He could feel the heat of her against his leg. He slowly ran his hands down her body and shifted to kneeI in front of her. He looked up at her and she watched as he dragged her panties down and off. He lifted one of her legs over his shoulder then connected his mouth to her. She moaned his name and moved against him while his tongue pleasured her. When he added his fingers, she fell apart shortly after. As she came back down, he supported her against the wall as her legs tried to give out. He stood, unhooked her bustier and they let it drop to the floor.
"While this is sexy, it's gotta go," he said.
He guided her to the bed then removed his boxers before joining her. Instead of giving her time to catch her breath, he leaned down to take a breast in his mouth. He licked and kissed it until it pebbled then repeated the process on the other one. She ran her hands over him as he covered her body in licks and kisses. As he kissed his way back up her body, she surprised him by rolling them over. She straddled him and leaned down to kiss him again. Her hair had fallen out of its ponytail and surrounded them like a curtain. She reached down and guided him into her. They both moaned as she sank down onto him. When he filled her completely, she threw her head back and began to move, setting a pace that drove them both crazy. She rode him until they both called out in completion. Spent, she collapsed on the bed next to him. He turned and looked over at her. Her eyes were closed and she was almost asleep.
"Love you," she mumbled right as she fell asleep.
"I love you too," he said softly. "Now if we can just get you to admit that when you're actually awake." He reached over and gently brushed her hair away from her face.
Robyn woke up long enough to climb under the covers with Marcus then immediately fell back asleep. When she woke up a few hours later, he wasn't there next to her. She didn't see him in the other room and the bathroom door was open, so she assumed he was downstairs. She grabbed her short green satin robe and some supplies from her bag in the closet. She got ready, then put on her robe before walking downstairs. When she reached the main floor, she turned to find Dante making breakfast in the kitchen in a t-shirt and sweatpants that hung low on his hips.
"Good morning," she said, walking into the kitchen and stopping next to him.
"Morning," he said, leaning down to give her a lingering kiss. "Sleep well?"
"I did," she answered. Then again, she always seemed to sleep well next to him. He did such a good job of tiring her out.
"Grab some coffee and have a seat," he said, nodding towards the chairs. "Breakfast is almost ready."
"Thank you," she said, making herself a cup of coffee. She sat at the counter to watch him finish cooking. "You look sexy when you cook," she told him with a smile.
"The only thing missing is the apron?" he asked with a laugh.
"Don't worry. I don't need an apron to tell me to kiss you," she responded. She set her cup on the counter as he walked up.
"Good," he said, setting a plate in front of her. He cupped her cheek, leaned down and kissed her breathless. "Good morning," he repeated. He sat in the chair next to her and they began to eat. "What should we do today?"
"You mean besides being in bed?" she grinned.
"I figured making love was a given," he laughed.
She smiled, "We can always try for another movie."
"That's a solid idea," he agreed. "We can go downstairs and try to pick one after breakfast."
"There's always streaming movies as a backup."
Robyn was looking through the movies on the shelves. Her robe barely covered her ass and Dante was enjoying the glimpses he was getting as he sat back on the couch and watched her. He remembered seeing her bare in front of him and grew hard. He seemed to be in a constant state of arousal with her around. She walked over and stopped in front of him.
"You can't keep looking at me like that," she said. "I'm having a hard enough time keeping my hands to myself."
"Who said I wanted you too?" he asked in a low voice.
She untied her robe, revealing she was naked underneath, then stepped forward and straddled his lap. She braced herself on the back of the couch then leaned forward to kiss him. His tongue entered her mouth and his hands reached inside her open robe to touch her. He ran his hands over her curves and breasts and she moved against his arousal. He reached down to free himself from his pants and she sank onto him.
"Marcus," she whispered against his lips as she began to move. She watched him as she moved at a slow pace. She kissed him again as he explored her body.
"Robyn," he moaned as she started to tighten around him. She continued to move until her orgasm claimed her. As her tremors slowed, Dante held her waist, changed angles and started to move again, continuing to stoke her. She felt another orgasm build as he moved.
"Oh god," she moaned as he changed angles to go deeper. "I'm going to come again," she said as her body started to grip him again.
"Come for me baby," he demanded. At his unexpected command, she shattered. Seconds later he joined her. Leaning down she kissed him again as the quivers of their bodies slowed.
"My god. The things you do to my body," she said, climbing off of his lap and curling up next to him on the couch.
"You bring it out in me," he said quietly, reaching over to tuck a loose curl behind her ear. "All I want is to make you happy and keep you satisfied," he admitted as he tucked himself back into his pants.
"You do make me happy," she said, placing her hand on his chest. "And I am very satisfied. I hope you know that while amazing sex is an added bonus, it's not required for me to be with you. You are who matters to me."
He watched her face as he spoke. "Look, I know you don't want to move too fast and the idea of a relationship instead of just dating might not be what you want, but I care for you deeply. I'm already moving fast and it's too late for me to turn back."
She ran her fingers over his lips. "You're mine, I can assure you we're definitely in a relationship," she promised him. "Can you give me a little more time for the rest?"
"I can, Love," he promised, standing up and holding out his hand to her. "Come on. This movie thing isn't going to happen right now," he said. They walked back up to the main floor. "Go upstairs and relax. I'll be up after I clean the kitchen."
"Want some help?" she asked.
"I'm okay," he said, leaning down to give her a kiss. He watched as she went upstairs. Hopefully she didn't pull back from him. He had almost told her he loved her, but she obviously still wasn't ready to hear it. At least she could agree they were in a relationship. There was no way he could do casual dating with her.
Robyn started to walk upstairs. God damnit, she loved him. Maybe she had already known that, but loving him was only going to put him in the same danger she's put the rest of her family in. He already has a dangerous job and he helps her with equalizing. Was loving her too really going to be the right thing? Wouldn't that cause him to be in even more danger? It gives her enemies another target. He had already been held at gunpoint because of her. She needed to think about his boys too.
The problem was, she couldn't stay away from him anymore. She loved him and being with him made her very happy. Technically, this involved him, she should probably try to get his thoughts on things, but then she'd need to admit her feelings, right? Wasn't that part of the problem in the first place? Her head was starting to hurt. She sighed and walked into the bedroom to hear Dante's phone ringing. She walked over to glance at the caller ID to make sure it wasn't Vanessa or one of the boys. The caller ID indicated work so she picked up his phone and took it down to him.
He looked up from wiping the counter when she entered. She held his phone up.
"Work called," she said as he took the phone. He hung the rag on the sink.
"I don't know why," he said, calling into voicemail. While he listened, he reached over and tugged her against him. He groaned as he hung up the phone. "In my rush to leave the station and start the weekend, I forgot to complete and file a required report. It has to be completed for them to close the case. I know it's supposed to be uninterrupted time, but I need to go in and finish it."
"It's no problem," she said, looking up at him.
"It will probably take a couple of hours," he said, looking down at her.
She smiled, "I can entertain myself. I'll be here when you get home."
"I'm sorry, I won't take too long," he said as they started to walk upstairs.
She stopped on the stair above him and turned around. She brought her hands up to hold his face so he looked at her. "You never have to apologize for having to work. I completely understand. The nature of our jobs keeps things unpredictable." She released him and turned to go upstairs.
They reached the bedroom and Dante went to his closet. Robyn picked up her phone to check her texts.
Aunt Vi: I hope you're having fun and misbehaving. Don't worry about us. We're fine over here.
Robyn: Love you Auntie.
Aunt Vi: Love you Rob. Stop fighting those feelings.
Dante walked out of the closet and tossed his clothes on the bed. "Want to help me shower?" he asked, removing his clothes.
She tossed her phone on the bed and untied her robe. Instead of responding, she let her robe drop to the ground and walked by him into the bathroom.
Laughing, he followed her. "So yes then," he confirmed.
An hour later they had showered and he had dressed and left. She smiled as she remembered rubbing soap over his entire body. She pulled a navy satin nightgown over her head and settled it into place. She brushed her damp curly hair back into a bun and walked into his front room to look at his book shelves. She noticed the bottom shelves contained vinyl records instead of books. She found a couple she wanted to listen to and went to put one on. Coltrane began to float out of the speakers. She smiled and went back to find a book to read. Locating one, she went back into the room and curled up on the bed. She spent the next chunk of time cycling through records, overthinking and reading. Throughout the time, her head began to pound. When the records finished, she switched to her favorite Spotify playlist. As she laid back on the bed, her phone buzzed.
Cedric: Hey you. Hope you guys enjoyed last night.
Robyn: We did, thank you. I like the new pictures. You're as sneaky as you are gifted.
Cedric: LOL thanks kid.
Robyn: I'm going to need a copy of Dante's picture.
Cedric: Consider it done. I'll email you a copy now. Think I can talk him into playing one night?
Robyn: Maybe. That's going to have to be his decision.
Cedric: I'll work on it.
Robyn: I'm sure you will.
Cedric: Can I convince you to perform Friday? Please?
Robyn: I'll think about it.
Cedric: I'll check in later.
She set her phone down on the nightstand. Looks like Dolly was going to be making another appearance soon. She wasn't against the idea this time. She got up to put the records away. When she stood up, the room began to spin. She could officially feel a headache building. She turned down the music and slowly walked into the other room. She squatted down to put the records in their proper places, then stood up to go back into the bedroom. She stood up too fast and the room started to dance circles around her. She stood quietly until her vision settled, then slowly walked back to the bedroom. She grabbed some headache meds from her bag then shuffled to the bathroom to take them. Shuffling back into the bedroom, she closed the curtains, turned off the music and crawled into bed. Curling into a ball, she thought about the fact this was the worst time to get a headache. She closed her eyes in hopes she could sleep it off.
