TAKING THE FALL - the Complete Series (16 page)

He nods his head, and I ease off a little. I don’t want him to piss himself in the house. I let go of his collar and he braces himself against the wall to keep from falling. I shake with rage and adrenaline, but my breathing is even and I don’t show the slightest weakness. Behind me, I feel Cherry put her hand on my lower back, as if to tell me she knows how upset I am. Her touch is all I need, and I feel the rage slip from my body. I shift to position myself in front of her to keep him from looking at her. She’s still only in my shirt, and while it covers her completely, she’s not wearing any underwear.

“
Cherry, did you let him in?” I ask over my shoulder.

“
No, he has a key,” she says weakly, and my blood starts to boil again. I breathe in through my nose to try to keep myself from grabbing at him again. I will deal with her whenever he’s gone. Right now I need to try to maintain control.

“
Leave the key. You’re no longer free to come and go. Thanks for stopping by, but Daddy’s home now.”

I feel Cherry stiffen behind me. I can barely keep from rolling my eyes. She’s so gonna get it. He rubs his neck as he pulls out the key and drops it on the counter.

“
Layl–” he starts to speak but I stop him.

“
Don’t you even fucking think about saying her name. I don’t remember anybody in this whole goddamn house giving you permission to speak.” I make an exaggerated look around the house just to be an asshole. “I might be big but I’m not slow. Doesn't look like anybody here said you could say a fucking word, Junior. Drop the key and get to stepping.”

“
Justin, I’m sorry. I’ll call you...”

“
No you fucking won’t,” I interrupt Cherry. I will flip the motherfucking house upside down before that day happens. “No she won’t. You won’t be hearing from her ever again. Don’t wanna get your hopes up, because that shit is most definitely not happening.”

He just shakes his head and walks out the front door, slamming it behind him. Immediately I flip around and grab Cherry.

“
Carter!” she shouts, but I’m not having it. I’m so pissed and I know she’s the only thing that can calm me down. I can’t believe that fucker had a key to my woman’s house. I told her to drop his ass months ago.

I pick her up and take her back to the bedroom. I put her down and spin her around so she’s facing the bed. I push her shoulders down, so her face is on the mattress and her bottom goes up in the air. I flip her shirt up exposing her big juicy ass, and I grab her around the waist with my left arm. I pull my right hand back and start laying into her ass. I spank her cheeks bright red and she screams obscenities at me.

“
You keep saying all those dirty words and I’ll just keep spanking, Cherry.”

“
Carter, you barbaric asshole!” she shouts into the mattress. That one actually makes me smile.

“
You say that like it’s a bad thing, baby girl.” I give her a few more loud smacks until both of her cheeks are as bright as her hair. Her screams have now turned to moans and I can’t fucking believe it.

“
I should have known Baby Bitch was gonna come sniffing around. Fucking snake was just waiting on me to look away.”

As I let out all of my frustrations on Cherry ass, I undo my pants and get into position behind her. My dick is hard, and I need to let out some of my anger.

“
I know that this is partly my fault, but I need to claim you right now, Cherry.”

I line my cock up with her opening and slam home. She lets out another moan into the mattress. I don’t slow down. I grab her ass cheeks with both my hands and squeeze them hard. I know they’re sore from my spanking, but I need her to remember who she belongs to. I grip hard as I pound into her, but I can’t stop. She’s going to feel me for the rest of the day. Every step she takes will remind her of who she belongs to, who takes care of her.

“
This is mine, Cherry. All mine. Tell me. Tell me whose pussy it is.”

“
Carter!” she yells, but I wanna hear it some more.

“
Say it, baby. You’ve got your face down, pussy in the air, and ten inches balls deep. Whose is it?”

“
It’s yours, Carter. It’s only yours.”

“
Goddamn right, it’s mine. Now you fucking say it over and over until the neighbors know it too.” She doesn’t have to know the neighbors aren’t really home – like I would let them hear my Cherry cum.

I give it to her hard, but my girl pushes back against me and matches me stroke for stroke. Her wetness coats my dick and runs down my balls. Our sex is loud and smacking sounds are ringing through the room.

I feel her little fingers reach back and touch where we’re joined. I can feel her touch my balls when I bottom out inside her. She coats her fingers in her juices and I can hear when she hits her clit. Her pussy starts to squeeze me and I know she’s about to go off.

Before I completely bust my nut, I pull out and start jerking my cock. I feel it coming and I watch as her orgasm hits her. I can see her pussy pulse likes it misses my cock to hold on to while she cums. Seeing her wet pussy beg for me, I let loose and cum all over her pink ass. It takes every bit of concentration I have, but when I’m finished I stand back and smile.

Cherry looks over her shoulder at me and then down to her ass. “What did you do, Carter?”

I look down and written in cum across her ass cheeks is the word “MINE”.

“
Just marking my territory, baby,” I say and turn around and go to the kitchen. I’m still hungry as fuck.

“
What the hell?” I hear her shouting from the bedroom and my guess is she went to the mirror. I’m still smiling when I start cracking eggs and getting breakfast ready.

Cherry comes stomping into the kitchen and I turn around and kiss her forehead. She’s so cute when she’s worked up.

“
Carter, what were you thinking? That was completely caveman!”

“
I seem to recall your pussy being in total agreement with me five minutes ago. Sit your pretty ass down and let me cook for my family.”

She stomps her foot but goes to the table and sits. I go back to what I was doing and start to whistle. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier in my life.

“
He would come over and fix things. That’s why he had a key,” Cherry says as a way of an apology.

“
I should’ve told you where I was and that I was coming back. I get that.” I turn around from the stove and her eyes meet mine. “He’s never to touch you again. No matter what the reason. You got me?”

“
I got you, Carter.”

“
Good. Now let’s feed that growing baby boy in there. Gotta make him big and strong like Daddy.”

I see Cherry blush and I’m sure she’s thinking of when I said that word earlier. She thinks I don’t know what’s in those books she reads, but my girl is dirty. And I love it.

In the afternoon we both lie naked on the living room floor. We’ve successfully fucked in every corner of this house and this is where we’ve ended up. To be fair though, this house is tiny, and we had to hit a couple of places twice.

“
It’s time to get up, Cherry. I need you to pack a couple of bags.”

She was dozing on and off across my chest but at my statement she picks her head up and looks at me. A look of confusion crosses her face and she tilts her head to the side. I sit up quickly and grab her face with both hands and kiss her with all my love. God, could she be any more perfect?

“
What was that for?” she asks.

“
Nothing. I just hope our little guy is as cute as you,” I say and lean down and kiss her belly. I would love a little girl with red hair like her but I don’t think I could survive it.

“
Whatever,” she says curiously, and then starts asking questions. “Where are we going? Why do I need to pack a bag? Carter, a woman needs details. You can’t just drop a bomb like that and expect me to say ‘Okay’.”

“
I’ve got a safe house set up for us. Part of what I was doing while I was away was creating a safe place for you to be if someone came after you. Well, it looks like that time is up after yesterday. I think your father has put a price on your head and I don’t feel safe having you out in the open like this. I wanted to give you today in this house with me so we could have some fond memories, but we’re running out of time.”

“
Why would my father do that? Why after all this time is he coming after me? I don’t understand.”

“
It’s because I’m out. He knows exactly what you mean to me, and he knows I would give up my own life to save you. You, my love, are the most powerful card in the deck, and he wants you.”

“
Carter, I can’t just give up everything and go with you. I have a life, a job, friends, this house. You can’t expect me to just go.”

I stand up and pull her off the floor with me. “That’s exactly what I expect, Layla. It’s too dangerous right now, and if I can’t be by your side, I need to know that you are completely protected.”

She jerks away from my hand and takes a step back. “What do you mean ‘if I can’t be by your side’? Are you planning on leaving me again?” She’s getting angry and I need to control this situation.

“
I’m not planning on leaving you ever again, Cherry. But I need to realistic and so do you. I need to tie up loose ends and take care of business. I can’t do that with my pregnant wife by my side.”

She stops moving away from me and stands frozen in place.

“
I mean it, Cherry. You’re not safe on your own, and it’s my job to protect you. It’s the only thing in my life I ever knew I was meant to do. The one good thing I did was protect you and I’m not about to stop.”

She remains stock still and I start to wonder if something is wrong with her or the baby.

“
Layla,” I say slowly as I approach her. “You okay, baby?”

“
Wife,” she whispers. “You said ‘wife’.”

“
Yes. What’s the question?”

“
You didn’t even ask me, Carter. Was that supposed to be a proposal?”

I laugh out loud. A big bark of laughter makes my whole body shake. “It’s adorable you think you have a choice, baby. See you’re confusing me with the normal guy that gets down on one knee and asks his girl for permission.” I lean down so we’re eye to eye and I wrap my arms around her waist. “With you and me, Cherry, there’s not one goddamn question. You’re mine, I’m yours. End of discussion.”

I release her, and slap her ass playfully. “Get that booty in gear, baby, I want to make it to the new place by sundown.”
