A/N: Umm... it's a chapter the next one will finally reveal why Mercedes is guarded in a sense.

Chapter 14

A Few Truths Part One

Mercedes let out another moan after Sam pushed her over the edge again right before feeling a rain drop fall on her bare chest.

"I think it's about to rain." She managed to breathe out.

"Come on, let's get you inside." He said standing and pulling her up along with him, he handed her her shirt so she could put it back. He walked them to the beach house that from the outside didn't look lived in at all but as soon as he opened the French door she could tell it had been. This was the third house he'd taken her to and it was the most homey to her, there were actual pictures hanging on the wall and it felt warm.

"Make your self at home, I'm going to grab everything from outside." He said before walking out leaving her there. She looked around at the pictures smiling seeing before she landed on one that made her frown slightly, it was Sam, a very pretty petite girl she assumed was her sister and the man from the elevator. She stared at the picture mentally cursing herself that she didn't see the resemblance until now, sure Sam was taller and more built but those eyes were very telling.

"Something wrong?" Sam asked startling her, she turned around and let her eyes rove over his now wet appearance before letting out a slight groan.

"Ah… him, this your brother?" She asked and he moved closer looking at the picture.

"Mhm, that's Stevie."

"I met him… yesterday actually." She said trying to resist looking how his shirt clung to him especially now that it was drenched, Sam smirked when he noticed her look at him chest before realizing what she said.

"Wait what?" He asked making her look up at him.

"He was on the elevator when I left to go home the other day… he asked me out." She answered noticing his jaw clenching before he took a step back letting out a deep breath.

"Did he say anything else?"

"No… oh he did send me flowers and a card with his number on it." She replied seeing the look that crossed his face and it concerned her.

"If you'll excuse me seems I need to make a phone call." Sam said through gritted teeth and before he could walk away she grabbed his arm feeling how tense he'd become.

"I… I told him I was seeing someone and gave the flower he gave me to one of the security guards." She explained and Sam shot her a look.

"Baby, I wasn't worried about him hitting on you. It's the fact that he's here is the problem." Sam said and she couldn't help the amusement on her face.

"That secure huh?" She teased before blushing at the look he was now giving her. Sam smirked figuring he would have to make a point here first before calling his brother.

"I see I need to make two things clear." He replied his voice dropping dangerously low causing heat to pool into her already wet core before he invading her personal space leaning down so that they were at eye level.

"Do I have anything to worry about sweetheart?" He asked and she could tell by the way he asked that he was going to prove it regardless.

"Maybe." She said biting her lip and he just rose an eyebrow at her before nodding and picking her up throwing her over his shoulder. She let out a squeal which made him chuckle as he carried down the long hallway to what she assumed was his bedroom.

…

Sam's usual gentleness was replaced with something else as he moved inside Mercedes, her moans were more throaty and loved it. In no shape or form did he feel threatened by Stevie hitting on Mercedes, hell he couldn't blame him for doing it but he knew his brother wasn't doing it out pure want he was doing it for a reason and that pissed him off.

He groaned when he felt her nails gently rake his back as he went deeper reveling in how amazing she felt wrapped around him, he wanted her perfectly satiated before he made his call to his brother so he brought one of his hands up in between then attacking her hardened pearl causing her to let out another deep moan as he thrust harder into her.

"Sam…" Mercedes moaned out before he crashed his lips onto hers, she felt him all of him and it made her tingle even more all over.

Sam growled before taking her right leg and pinning it down allowing him more access to go deeper and when he did she let out the best sound he'd heard from her. He looked down at her with a smirk seeing the wide range of pleasure etched on her beautiful face before her eyes opened and held his while she finally fell over and he couldn't hold back any longer before he joined her letting out a deep groan.

Sam eased out of her getting up to discard the condom and when he came back he smiled seeing her laying there in all her beauty still slightly breathing heavily. He walked over to where she was laying on the bed and received a small smile from her before he leaned down and gave her a kiss.

"Feel free to use the shower, I have some shirts in the drawer over there if you want to change out of that… or you can stay this way." He said with a smirk and she giggled.

"I don't think I'm ready to prance around naked yet."

"Damn. That's too bad." He joked winking at her before pulling on a pair of shorts and excusing his self to call his brother.

…

"Was waiting on you to call." Stevie answered getting straight to taunting his other brother.

"Why are you here and why are you stalking Mercedes?"

"Stalking really? I saw her on an elevator and thought she was beautiful so I asked her out."

"Why would you be at her job? Dwight sent you, didn't he?"

"Well if you didn't fuck things up like you always do then he wouldn't have sent me."

"I HAVEN'T- I haven't messed anything up, I've done everything that man has asked me to do and I've done a damn good job doing it."

"Oh please you're calling me because I hit on your girlfriend, you haven't even ask why I'm here." Stevie responded and Sam could hear the smugness in his voice.

"Why the fuck are you here?" Sam bit out and Stevie knew he needed to end this call before his brother beat his ass.

"I'm here because I'm here, now what you do with that information is up to you but I'm not going anywhere especially since I have my sights on that very sexy woman of yours." Stevie taunted one last time.

"Alright." Was all Sam said and Stevie knew hell was coming his way.

"Sam look-" Stevie started but all he got was a dial tone.

Sam walked back into the bedroom just as Mercedes came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. He leaned against the door frame admiring her beauty feeling like a jackass because he needed to go handle his brother before things got out of hand. One thing Mercedes didn't know but he hoped would soon figure out that he was fiercely protective over those that he allowed into his life and she was now apart of his life.

"Hey." She said smiling at him and smiled back as he walked over to where she was standing wrapping his arms around her.

"So I need to step out for a minute, I need to go handle… something but I want you to stay here and enjoy the peace. You can order whatever but I shouldn't be gone too long and I will make up me leaving." She just shot him a concerned look before nodding with a small smile.

"Are you okay?" She asked and he was going to respond when his phone buzzed he knew who it was so he ignored it and kissed her softly.

"Mhm, just a loose end that need to be tended to but I will explain everything once I'm back." He assured.

...

"Shit, shit, shit!" Stevie said scrambling knowing he'd over done it taunting Sam that way and decided it was best to get scarce before he found him but that was proven useless when he walked out to his car and saw his brother standing there with unamused look on his face.

"Heyyy bro." Stevie said dropping his bag knowing this wasn't going to end peacefully especially when all Sam did was nod. He knew he was waiting for answers on why he was there and why he was remotely speaking on Mercedes.

"So long time-" Stevie started right as Sam closed the gap in between the in three quick strides before his fist landed on his face two times making him stumble backwards.

"Make fucking sure Dwight knows I know." Sam said standing over his younger brother with a dark expression.

"You tell him yourself!"

"Stop letting that bitch tell you want to do, he doesn't give a damn about you and the sooner you realize that he wants us to keep hating each other the sooner you'll see how fucked up he really is!" Sam replied before walking away.

"You took her to mom's!" Stevie shouted making him stop and sigh. "You wouldn't let any of us come down after she left you the house."

"Correction, I wouldn't let you. Stacey has been there more than me and for you to think I would want you anywhere near me after what you did is baffling especially since you're trying to do it again." Sam replied looking at his brother hard and Stevie looked down at his hands because he knew exactly what he was talking about.

"That was completely different and you need to let it go… it was just business." Stevie said with a shrug before standing up only to get knocked back down by his brother punching him again.

"She was not business to me! Do you hear yourself? Your head is so far up his ass that you don't even see what he's doing to us." Sam snapped feeling angry all over again before shaking his head and shooting his brother one last look then walked away. Sam was so angry because he knew their dad put him up to this but he knew Stevie had only hit on Mercedes to get a rise out of him.

"You're so protective of people you barely know but when family needs you, you're no where to be found."

Stevie stood there watching his brother walking away seething because he knew deep down he was right but a part of him couldn't let Sam just walk away like he was some good person. Sam allowed him to be humiliated by his father, her and his friends. He was supposed to be his big brother and always have his back but he chose to let him fall on his ass like he always did so he really hoped he didn't think he was going to stop. No He needed him to see how it felt to be let down by his brother and have everyone looking at you differently until you finally redeem yourself by taking no bullshit.

"I see you're still blaming him for what you did." Stevie heard behind him and knew immediately who it was before turning around and seeing a familiar face.

…

When Sam walked back into the beach house he was hit by the best smell, he stopped and grabbed some flowers for Mercedes and as he moved further he saw her humming to herself while slightly swaying her hips. He leaned against the door frame watching her before she turned around and screamed dropping everything that was in her hand. He chuckled walking over and helping her pick up what she dropped before handing her the bouquet of flowers that made her smile brightly at him before she frown and placed them on the counter.

"Something wrong?" He asked and just grabbed his hand running her thumb over his noticeably bruised knuckles.

"What… umm happened?" She asked softly and he knew needed to tell her a few things about his self.

"How about we talk over whatever that smell is?"

"I couldn't find the plates."

"They're up there." He said nodding up to the cabinet she figured they were in but couldn't reach.

"Here." He added before picking her up and holding her in front of the cabinet so she could get them. She couldn't help but giggle at how crazy this was but grabbed two smiling as he set her down gently. After fixing their plates, they decided to sit at the bar and Sam knew it was time he explained what happened and why he left.

"Mercedes, remember when I said the NDA was meant to protect you more than me?" He asked and she nodded slowly.

"Well there's more to it… my brother, Stevie has been under Dwight's thumb since I left for college years ago. He-"

"Why do you call your dad by his first name?" She asked.

"You have to care about your children to be a father, Dwight only cares about who's doing the most for him in the moment." Sam explained and she nodded again.

"Like I was saying Stevie has been under his thumb for years and we've been at each other's throats ever since a seat became vacant on Dwight's board. I got it and Stevie hasn't been happy since because he thought he should be the one that sat on the board. Him being here is basically like having Dwight Jr here except he's younger and more bold…"

"That's why he asked me out…" She said more to herself and Sam just nodded.

"He's not going to stop either, my brother is very persistent and very charming but he's also very vindictive when things don't go his way. He won't cause you any actual harm but he will try very hard to make it know that you are an enemy to him which makes you a threat to my father. He's going to look into you and it's my fault that he's-"

"I should go." Mercedes said feeling her heart racing as she stood up shaking her head.

"Wait, what's wrong?" Sam asked.

"This was… amazing but I need to go and we should probably just not continue…" She answered avoiding looking at him. She placed her plate in the sink and hurried to his room taking off his shirt and putting on her clothes from earlier.

"Mercedes is there something you don't want found out?" Sam asked after taking a moment to figure out why she wanted to leave so suddenly.

"I just need to go home." She said softly and he just nodded before walking out of the room with her slowly following.

Mercedes was thankful he hadn't asked again because she wasn't entirely ready to talk about the secret she'd kept for years, even from her parents and she knew it would show up if his brother looked hard enough. She should've stayed in her little safe, boring bubble but she didn't and now she would need to make a phone call to someone she hadn't spoken to since she was eighteen.

Hello?

Soooooo...

1. Who is the she Sam and Stevie are referring to?
