Zack felt the warm, wet tears on his chest before he pulled back and looked at her face and saw them. He leaned down and kissed each cheek, kissing the tears away as he did. “Don’t cry, baby. I’m sorry.”

She shook her head and used one of her hands to wipe them away. “No, don’t be sorry. They’re happy tears,” she said. “I’m just so happy to be here with you. Please don’t stop making love to me.”

Zack pressed into her again and Nicole let her body squirm against him harder that time, causing him to gasp. She felt so good. How was he supposed to live without her? He sat up and put his hands on the sides of her beautiful face. She closed her eyes and smiled, but there was still a stray tear near each one of her eyes. He couldn’t stand to see her cry. He leaned down and kissed each one of her eyelids and wiped the tear on each side away, and then he moved off her and she immediately opened her eyes. “Where are you going?” He smiled.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said, tracing one finger from the bottom of her neck, down her chest, over her abdomen and stopping at her belly button. Then he reached up again and pulled off her bra and finished taking the dress off her. Instead of tossing them aside like he normally would, he got up and laid them across the back of one of the chairs, hoping not to ruin them or get them dirty in the filthy cabin. He hated having her in a place like this, but at the same time there was no way he wasn’t going to have her, as long as she wanted it. He slid off his boxers and for a second just stood there, loving the way her hazel eyes took in every inch of his body. Then he stepped back over to her and took the elastic of her little panties in his fingers and finally pulled them off her. He straddled her again and Nicole reached for his erection, but he pulled back and instead he devoured her with a kiss. He trapped her tongue in his mouth and sucked on it, and when he felt her body relaxing and really getting into the kiss, he let one of his hands find the soaking-wet heat between her legs. He let his fingers dance up and down her slit while she wiggled her hips around and moaned into his mouth. Then he found her swollen clit and began to concentrate on that, squeezing, pinching, and rubbing it. She was thrusting her hips up off the bed at him and making sexy noises. He let her mouth go so that she could breathe and just about the time she sucked a breath in, he slid a finger up inside of her and she cried out his name. A few seconds later he slid another one in and while he used those two fingers to gently assault her tight tunnel, he used his thumb to keep pressing on her clit. She was working herself into a frenzy, and Zack was working up a sweat keeping her in one place so that he could keep his fingers inside of her. He took the pressure off her clit and began to flick it, hard. That elicited little yelps from her, and she brought her hands up and clutched and clawed at his shoulders while bucking into his hand like a woman possessed. He kept going and so did she until he suddenly felt her sexy body convulse, and the walls of her pussy tightened around his fingers and began to throb against his skin. Zack left his fingers inside of her until her body finished shaking and then he pulled them out and put them to his lips. He loved the taste of her, and it was one of the things in the long list of things he missed about her. He lay down next to her and he could feel her entire body still shaking. He reached back and took hold of one of her sexy round ass cheeks and rolled her onto her side so she was facing him. He held her there, kissing her softly until her body began to calm down. His aching cock was pressed against her soft flesh and he wasn’t sure he would last a second once he was buried inside of her. But he was sure that if she would let him, he’d be able to get hard again right away and make love to her all night. If this was going to be the last time for a while, he was going to make it last if it killed him. He kissed her again until they were both panting and gasping for air, the whole time using his hands to explore every natural curve of her smooth, gorgeous body. His cock was practically boring a hole into her thigh and finally, he was past being able to wait any longer. He pulled out of the sexy kiss and rolled her back onto her back before climbing back on top of her. He smiled down at her and she smiled back up at him as he took his rock-hard cock in his hand and guided it to her opening. She lifted her hips up and met him as he let the tip slide in and then she angled her body so taking the rest was smooth and easy. Zack felt a shudder rip through him as her walls wrapped him up tightly and every nerve cell in his body came alive.

Zack held onto her hips and began to move in and out of her, striking bottom each time and making her moan. He wanted to go slow, but it was impossible; she was incredible, and no feeling he ever had compared to what he felt when he was inside of her. “I love you, Nicole,” he grunted out as they both sped up their pace and began to frenetically and almost violently pound into each other.

“I love you too,” she said in a hoarse, breathless voice. Zack moved his hips faster and gripped onto her tighter, but he felt like he had to have more of her. He pulled back and rolled her onto her belly, shoving himself back into her almost immediately, even before she brought her hips up off the mattress. He gripped her hips and she wrapped the sheet up in her fingers, and he fucked her hard and fast until the sounds of both of their gasps, moans, and groans echoed off the walls of the tiny little room. He felt her tensing up again, getting ready for another orgasm, so he slid his hand around in front and found her clit and while he continued to fuck her pussy, he rubbed her clit in small, hard circles until her back was suddenly as solid as a board and she screamed out in ecstasy, coming in warm, sexy waves all over his throbbing cock. He rocked into her slowly until she was finished and then he unleashed what was coiled in his core, pumping into her even harder and faster. An entire month of stress, tension, and fucking desire was built up inside of him, and when the dam finally broke he came so much and so hard that he could feel it running down between them before he even finished. He pushed her down so that she was flat on her belly and he lay down next to her, winding one long leg up over her so that his thigh pressed into her sexy tight ass. He wrapped his arm across her shoulders and pulled her in close so that he could kiss the side of her face. He kissed down to her ear, moving the sweat-soaked strands of hair as he did and he whispered:

“I’m going to fix this, Nicole. Please don’t give up on us. I’m going to make this right.”

* * *

Zack lay awake all night, watching Nicole sleep and plotting in his head. By the time the dawn began to break, he thought that he’d come up with the best idea he’d ever had – it was only a matter of finding the balls to put it into motion. He looked at Nicole again. The sight of her gorgeous face gave him courage. She made him feel like he could do anything, even something that went against everything he’d ever been taught, or even personally believed in. He kissed the side of her face and gently rolled her away so that he could sneak out of the bed. He fished in the dark for his pants and found his cell phone. He slipped on his shorts and with one last glance at Nicole, he stepped out the front door. He scrolled through his contacts until he found what he was looking for and pressed the number. After four rings a sleepy female voice said:

“This better fucking be good, and by good, I mean someone better have a fucking gun to your head.”

“Hi, Tams. Did I wake you?”

“What the fuck, Zack? Who died?”

“Nobody is dead – I need to talk to your man and I didn’t have his number.”

“You called me at four-thirty in the fucking morning to talk to Gunner? He’s asleep.”

“It’s important, Tams. Wake him up.”

He heard her cuss again, and maybe growl. He laughed to himself and wondered how Gunner was ever going to survive her. It took several minutes before Gunner finally came on the line. It sounded like he was on speaker, probably so Tammy could listen in. Zack didn’t care. He trusted her. “Hey, kid, how’s it going?” he greeted Gunner.

“What, Zack? Jesus, I’ve only been in a bed a couple of hours. What the fuck do you want?”

“You know, one of these days, you’re going to hurt my feelings.”

“Zack, I’m hanging up.”

“No, come on, wait. Look, I need a favor, a big one.”

Gunner sighed and said, “I guess I should be grateful you and Tammy didn’t just decide to go behind my back this time.”

“Come on, baby, I thought we were past that,” he heard Tammy say in the background. “I don’t know what he wants.”

“If you’ll both stop talking, I’ll tell you,” Zack said. “And as for that other thing…”

“Stop talking, Zack. It’s handled. You open your mouth and I’ll be in deep shit again.” Zack laughed again.

“Fine. Look, I need you to call your friend the detective…”

“I don’t have a friend who is a detective,” Gunner said.

“Whatever he is to you, that big African-American man…what was his name?”

“Samuels? Why would I call him?”

“Listen…please.” Zack was losing patience. “I need you to call him and tell him that there was a big robbery in San Antonio probably ten years ago. The thieves got away with tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars in jewelry. Tell him I can solve that case for him, and give him the jewelry, at least some or most of it.”

There was a long pause and then it was Tammy that spoke instead of Gunner. “Why, Zack? Why not just fence that jewelry and go on with your life? What if they think you were involved?”

“I’m in some trouble here. I was set up with a lot of drugs and the club hasn’t been able to find a cop who is willing to help me. I want San Antonio to step in here. They can take me into custody until they finish checking out my story…I want them to get Memphis D.A. to drop the charges against me in exchange for this deal.”

“Shit,” Gunner sighed. “I’ll call him.”

“Thanks, man, let me know what he says. Oh, and I go to court on Monday at nine a.m., so call him today, okay?”

Gunner grunted out an okay and then Zack heard Tammy say, “Anything else we can do for you, your highness?”

Zack laughed and said, “That’s it, Tams…but Gunner, you might want to go back to bed and fuck some of the attitude out of your woman…” The line went dead. Zack was still smiling.
