Chapter Six
Marley woke up breathing heavily and sweating, she didn't even remember falling asleep. She was still in the room Justin had left her and like he promised no one came to bother her. She looked around and realized it was now afternoon outside so that meant she slept through the night and the morning.
There was a knock at the door before it opened and Justin came in with a warm smile. "Hey beautiful."
Beautiful? He hadn't called her that in that loving tone since they started dating. Her eyes darted towards him but she didn't speak.
"Marls, I love you, I am heart broken that we went through this…I know you must have been scared watching her do those things to me…but I told you she was trouble,.." He sighed. "I don't want to start that again. I know that you aren't interested in talking about her."
Justin sighed walking to the window, giving her the bait and wondering if she was going to take it or not.
Marley looked over to her and rubbed her hands together nervously. "I didn't expect her to do that to you."
If he could have laughed he would have, she was so easy. Turning to her, he took her hands. "Marls I know that! She was…I don't even know. But I am thankful that they saved me, and that you stayed by my side. I told my dad that you had nothing to do with what she did. But they had to be sure."
"You had that much faith in me?" She asked, looking up to him.
"Baby I always have faith in you." He said pulling her close, "I still want our future, but that is only if you will forgive me and let me make all of this up to you."
"Y-you do? You're not mad at me for trying to leave?" Marley asked.
Justin had her right where we wanted her now. "Of course I forgive you and I don't blame you for wanting to get away, I was an asshole but if you let me I can show that I've learned from this." He said, taking a chance and leaned to kiss her.
He stopped giving her a chance to pull away and when she didn't he kissed her. When she kissed him back he laughed internally, he wrapped his arms around her and held her close as he deepened the kiss.
Marley wasn't used to Justin being this gentle with her and felt herself
melting into him and she hated that it felt good to be wrapped up in him again. "Justin…" She questions slowly pulling away from him, searching his eyes to make sure it was really him and not a ruse to get her back under his thumb.
Justin ran his hand over her cheek, staring at her. He needed her to believe him, needed her to trust him even if he knew the game. "I love you Marls, its me and you always."
She stared at him again, and nodded, pulling him close and kissing him again. Justin ran his hands over her body, moaning into her. "Can I have you again Marley? Be yours?"
She nodded. "Only mine…I love you too." This was what Mercedes didn't get, he loved her and wouldn't hurt her again. Justin was her future, she was certain about that.
The last three hours had taken Mercedes by surprise. Sam's dad had sat her down and showed her all the photos of Sam and his siblings when he was a baby up until they were teens. Mary hadn't come out of her office with Roz, but that didn't bother Mercedes any.
Mercedes laughed, shaking her head as Sam and Dwight talked about the first time Sam went undercover and how Mary and Dwight snuck behind him, like stalkers taking photos. It was cute. And it was sweet the way Sam was with his family.
When they first met, she didn't want to like Sam, didn't want to fall for him and she was certain she wouldn't, but he was just too sweet and funny. She still had a strong dislike for him…maybe, but she also really liked things about him.
As they shifted the conversation to Sam and his skills, Dwight took his leave, wanting to give them time alone, that's when she realized that he could do impressions. It was a hidden talent that she really enjoyed.
Sam was certain hearing stories of his past would scare her off, and his impressions were certainly a tool he used to push girls away. Most either laughed at him, or made him feel dumb for doing them, but Mercedes took everything in stride and seemed to really like the man he was.
"Okay tell us something about you Merce cause you know all about me by this point." Sam asked.
Mercedes smiled. "My file didn't tell you enough?" She teased.
"Okay, that's fair but it only tells me the basics not everything."
She looked at him for a moment before nodding. "Okay, I grew up in a close family, pretty sheltered but not too much… I have an older sister and the cutest niece and nephew. My parents are both retired criminal lawyers, they did some high-end things before having my sister Mia. She's the doctor of the family and I'm the teacher." She replied.
"I know all of that, I want to know about you." Sam clarified. "I know what makes you… explode but what do you like to do outside of teaching?"
Mercedes bit her lip, trying to think of an answer. "I like to sing and whenever he's in town I love to hang out with Sebastian. I don't go out often and from the looks of it, I won't be for a while."
"Your family is safe, you know?" Sam assured. "We had them moved right after I got you out of the state."
"You did? Thank you." She said looking around his room and seeing it wasn't anything like she expected.
She was so sure it would be one toned and cold but it wasn't, it was warm and there were movie posters and comics. She looked back at him and tilted her head. "Your room doesn't match your attitude." She teased.
Sam smirked. "That's because you're still assuming you know me, those pictures and stories only tell you so much. I'm not as bad as you think…"
She smiled. "I don't think you are bad…I think you don't wanna care as much as you do. And I think I affect you more than you want me too."
Sam laughed. "Look like you said to my mom, good orgasms don't make me lose my mind either."
Mercedes raised an eyebrow. "You can admit it, you want me more than I want you."
Sam shrugged looking at his wall. "Nah I don't think that's an accurate assessment."
Moving closer to her, she placed her hand on his thigh. "It's not? So if I were to do this…it wouldn't do anything for you?" She moved her hand up his thigh, as her lips moved to his ear. "Kiss me Sam."
He could have ignored her, ignored the need growing within him, but she knew he wouldn't. Knew that he would give in just like he knew she would.
Sam turned his face to meet hers and she hungrily kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck as Sam pulled her close, laying her back on his bed as his hands went to her clothes removing them just as quickly as she removed his.
Sam tugged her up to him as he shed the remaining pieces of clothing. "Let's see how I compare to your vibrator…I am about to make sure you will never be able to compare what I do to you, to a vibrator orgasm ever again."
Mercedes smirked, spreading her legs. "Promises, promises."
As Sam pushed into Mercedes, both of them feeling like they were both being welcomed home, a familiar face to the Evans home was making their way up the stairs. A frantic call was all it took for a plan to form.
Mercedes could hold her own against Mary and Roz fine, but how would she fare against Quinn. She may not have been in the CIA but with a great head on her shoulders and always doing as Mary said. Quinn was the perfect choice for Sam.
Quinn took her time making it to Sam's room, the plan was to show her face, have him follow her and make Mercedes doubt everything. It might work, it might not, but Quinn was not one to turn down stirring up a little trouble.
She could hear the subtle sounds of moaning as she got closer to his room and admittedly grew angry but she knew he would come after her so when she reached his door, she walked in and said nothing. She watched until her eyes met a pair of brown ones, she smirked when she saw the horror of being watched cross her face.
Mercedes looked at the woman standing there before pushing Sam off of her. "You have company." Mercedes said softly as she grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
Sam looked at her confused before looking over his shoulder. 'Shit, Q…"
Quinn simply shook her head then stormed out of his room and back downstairs. She pretended to be crying as she passed Dwight and Mary then ran out the back to hers and Sam's secret place.
Sam came running down the stairs with his pants unbuttoned and his shirt half on and shaking his head. "You could've given me a heads up!" Sam said as he passed his parents who both shared different expressions, Mary looked annoyed while Dwight looked amused.
"You're really going after another woman while you have one in your room… presumably naked." Dwight shouted after him making him stop.
Sam hung his head before fixing his shirt and reluctantly heading outside to find Quinn. Mary smirked before turning to head back to her office but Dwight stopped her and forced her to turn around.
"Don't interfere with his relationships again. Calling Quinn the way you did was a major overstep and he will never forgive you for this if she decides to leave with Roz."
"I can handle him being disappointed in me but I can not handle burying my son because his head wasn't where it needed to be." Mary snapped.
"You think him being dead is the only way to lose him? He cuts you out of his life again, I won't help bring him back." Dwight warned before shaking his head.
Mary hadn't thought about the last time Sam stopped talking to her, it lasted three years and it was before he'd even graduated High School. She'd overstepped then and the only reason he spoke to her again was because Dwight finally intervened and told him that wasn't the way to handle things.
It was tough watching him talk to his siblings and his father but the moment she would step into the room he left. She didn't know what was going on in his life and he was within arms reach. Football games were fun because she could at least hear him cheering on his teammates and celebrating whenever they won. She would beg him just to talk to her and explain what she did wrong but he refused to break.
"I have to do what's best for my son and she will get him killed." Mary said firmly before walking to her office.
Dwight sighed and shook his head because this was going to end badly if the shit hit the fan and he prayed it didn't.
Mercedes watched Sam practically run naked after Quinn without so much as giving her a second glance and a part of her, the part that didn't want to care was hurt that he so quickly forgot she was there. Getting up she quickly dressed and made her way to her own room, debating if this was really how she wanted to spend her time, her life. Pining after a man, being with a man who obviously was lying to himself about his feelings. No, she wouldn't be that woman she saw her whole life, who wrap themselves up in a man and lose who they are.
As she sat on her bed it was decided she chewed her bottom lip, trying to make sense of it all. Trying to understand why she wanted a man who was obviously confused about things, confused about his feelings. She walked to the window of the Evans back yard and caught sight of Sam and Quinn in the distance, talking around a barn. Looking away she made a decision. Sam was great at what he did and she needed him to protect her. But that is all she needed him for. She would no longer be available to him sexually, it just complicated things. Her life was not going to end because Sam wanted to sleep with her and his whoever the blonde was to him. No this was a wake up call. And Mercedes was finally awake.
Sam caught up with Quinn and frowned staring at her. "What the hell are you doing here? And why would you think it's okay to walk into my room like that?"
"Well hello to you too Sam. You know when your mom called and said you wanted to see me, I didn't know you would be dicking down some chick in your bed. A bed we shared not even a week ago, when you were home visiting before getting sent away…you think they even changed the sheets?"
Sam sighed running his hands through his hair, it was true he was handling this whole situation wrong. He was standing with Quinn, a woman he slept with because he was bored and thought he was happy while ignoring Mercedes, a woman he really cared about even if it had only been a few days.
"Quinn I want you to leave. I am sorry you walked in on that. But let's not pretend we were more than what we were. I called you for sex and you obliged. We weren't dating, we weren't some love story that is now threatening to fall apart. You were a means to an end and so was I. So lets cut the charade and you tell me why you showed up in my room at 10 o'clock at night?"
She sighed, running her hands through her hair. One thing that Mary didn't know, and Sam didn't want her to know was that Quinn was one of his informants. Or rather she housed them. Being a district attorney she made a few deals which gave Sam and others an insight into the workings of many of the drug syndicates, and in return Sam gave her what she wanted from him.
"I thought you would want me, lets not pretend like you don't." Quinn wrapped her arms around his shoulders and neck. "How about you and I finish what you started in that bedroom with her?"
Sam pushed her away gently. "Quinn unless you have some information for me, please don't embarrass yourself. The sex portion of our situation is now over."
Quinn stepped away from him frowning. "Come on Sam, get real she is just a shiny new toy that you want to play with and when you get done playing with her, we both know you will come running back to me. You always do."
Sam laughed. "The fact that you think this is something that I always do, tells me how little you truly know me."
Sam walked away from her back to his parents' house. "Thanks for stopping by Q. I will call you if I need anything from you."
Sam walked inside going back to his room, he needed to talk to his mom but first and foremost he needed to talk to Mercedes. When he realized she wasn't in his room he walked over to hers. She was sitting on the bed writing something when he knocked and walked in.
"Can I help you?" She asked not even looking up at him.
Sam sighed sitting on the edge of the bed. "I am sorry about that, sorry I ran after her I just…"
Mercedes laughed. "Its really not a big deal. She's your…whatever she is and having her walk in on us, of course you had to leave me and go after her, I am the other woman."
"Mercedes…please."
She laughed, shaking her head. "Sam I am good. You don't have to let me down easily. And no worries about not getting me off. Old faithful came through for the win, guess the vibratior wins again."
Sam looked down to his hands. "I don't want her."
"And I don't want to deal with this." She sat up and finally looked at him. "You are here for a job and I meant what I said, there is no one better or more equipped that I trust with my life, but that being said, the physical aspect of our relationship, if you can call it that, has now concluded. You can leave now."
Sam stared at her for a long while, if she was upset, she made sure that he didn't see it. The look on her face was indifferent and that bothered Sam.
He moved next to her and grabbed her arms. "Mercedes I don't want her, I want her."
Mercedes removed her hands for his. "No, you don't know what you want. You clearly was getting sex from us both, she was here first and I just caved in easily but I won't be the reason you fail at doing your job. Your mother was right, I'm a distraction and sex seems to be thing that makes us vulnerable so we're not having anymore sex." She replied.
Sam let out a deep breath before nodding. "Fine, you want agent Sam then you'll get him but make no mistake, I never chose Quinn. She was just someone I slept with and it took years for us to even get to that point. I don't sleep around and I damn sure don't just bring anyone here. I could've taken you anywhere in the world but I knew you'd be safest here. Get some rest while we're here because in a week I'll be moving you again." He said, giving her one final glance before leaving.
Mercedes watched him walk away and hoped she made the right decision because no matter how hard she would try to deny it, she was already falling for him.
"Hey, it Luce…"
"What do you want?"
"I know where your mark is and I know how to get them to you."
"I'm listening."
"Evans Compound."
Soooooo... whet? What is going on yall! ALL of them are tripping except Dwight! Also Marley giving in over some drug lord d*ck... mhm. Then there's Quinn... whew...
