Blade
Beautiful. Pulling Alessia close to my body, I unzip her leather jacket and let it hit the bedroom floor. My hands start skimming her sides, taking her shirt off over her head and tossing it somewhere behind me. Kissing along the side of her neck, I inhale her scent. Her head drops to the side and then back up when I drop her bra, kissing down the middle of her chest. I place one long kiss right over this woman’s heart, the heart that fits mine. My match. I kiss down to her toned stomach. She giggles, my lips stretch in a smile. My Alessia is ticklish. I pull her pants down, taking one boot off at a time. I undress her until all that’s left is her in her dark blue silk G-string.
On my knees, I turn her around so that her back is facing me, and I start touching her. From her knees, my hands flow up to the curve of her ass. Kissing each of her cheeks, I pull her underwear down. I drop kisses up her back, then stand behind her, and press my chest to her back. My hands grab both of her tits, and I whisper in her ear, “I can’t share any part of you, Alessia… I’m selfish when it comes to you, I want to consume all of you. Tie you to my side forever. I never realized someone could mean as much to me as you do.” I hug her to me, tightly so that I can make her feel my words.
Alessia turns in my arms, cupping my face in her small hands. “I want you take all of me, Blade, consume my heart, thoughts and world with you. Make me yours, destroy me for all others. I want to consume every part of your life too.” She takes her hands from my face to undo my belt and unzip my pants, pushing my boxers down with them.
Grabbing her face, I kiss her, sealing our words in a promise to each other. That we will consume the other, destroying the chance of there ever being anyone else. Kicking off my pants and shoes, I grab my shirt at my back with one hand, ridding it with the rest of our clothes thrown around. I step forward, and Alessia follows my lead by stepping back to her bed, lying down in the middle. I look at her naked and open to me, burning her in my soul and memory forever.
Alessia smiles up at me, lifts her hand and calls me to her, picking up her legs and opening wide for me. “I’m ready, Blade, I want you inside of me, claim me as yours.” Both of her hands lift over her head, grabbing the iron of her headboard, submitting her body to me.
Kneeling before her on the bed, my hand glides down the smooth skin of her leg, until I touch her silky pussy with my fingers, pumping two fingers in her. Her breathing picks up and her legs open a little more. Bending forward, I give it one slow lick up the middle, and one more kiss.
Lying the rest of my body on top of hers, my dick is anxious to claim her, along with my heart. My hands fist her thick hair, my lips find hers in a dominating kiss. She whimpers for more beneath me, grinding her wet pussy against my hard dick. One hand stills her hip, and, thrusting my dick forward, I claim the rest of her. Marking her, taking her body as mine.
Our kisses devour each other’s breaths and taste. Her hands run through my hair and scratch down my back. My thrusts are measured and steady, getting us both drunk on lust. Alessia wraps both legs around me, content with the pace I set. Both of us want this to last.
My hand runs up her stomach to her tits, pulling one nipple, then the other. Her back arches, asking me for more, and I can’t hold back from her desire. Thrusting harder, faster, her breaths pick up quicker. I pull her lips from mine, kissing her cheek and neck, filling my ears with her pleads of ecstasy.
Pumping in and out of her, the sounds of our bodies echo off the walls. The only two people in this room, in the world, are in this bed. She gasps for air, coming around my dick. The sounds of her and seeing her come have me exploding my cum inside her pussy. The thought of me and her coming together is too much to hold back.
She grabs my face licking across my lips, opening me for her. Our tongues dance around each other, hands running over each other’s bodies, not ready to let go of this moment. I keep my dick inside of her as far and for as long as possible. The pull we have to each other is intense. It’s beautiful.

Vegas
We haven’t moved from our spot on the bed. Picking up my head, I rest my chin on my hand that’s on his chest. “Blade?”
“Hmm?” He hums out in response looking at me, but keeps running one hand through my hair. “Are you not worried about knocking me up? Or other things? We didn’t wrap you up,” I point out, feeling a little stressed over it.
“Alessia, I would not put my dick in you if I thought for second it would give you something. You are the only woman I have ever gone without a condom into. Second, if I knocked you up, would it be so bad? I figured if you didn’t want a baby you would have stopped me.”
I would have stopped him. Thinking on his words for a minute, I wonder, do I want a baby now? It’s too much to consider so soon, I know that much. “Blade, I have had an IUD for a while, no babies will be made tonight, big guy,” I pat his chest to let him down easy.
“Doesn’t matter to me when it happens, Alessia, it will happen, when you want it to. You’ll tell me when you’re ready. I trust you, so I didn’t ask, I didn’t need to.” Kissing his chest, I lay my head back down, my arm across his strong abs.
Roaming his fingers across my roses, he asks me again, “Who did these roses for you? The lines are clean, and the shading is perfect. The black with deep red shading is artistic”
“She is a cousin of mine, lives in California, does a lot of tatts for the members. I started them a few years ago and would add a few more when she would come visit. Wild times, that’s when we started our Wednesday girls’ night. Except for Dana.”
I start to laugh behind my words as I continue, “She would never get one. Sometimes she would think that yeah, she should or could get a small one. As soon as the needles came out, she would freak. Just like Phoebe in that episode of Friends.”
I look up at him. “If you don’t know Friends, then I’m sorry, we cannot be together. You should know this now before we go on any further. Non-negotiable. I draw the line,” I cut my hand through the air.
Blade just lays there, listening to my story, amusement written across his features. “Anyway, I got them for the obvious reason of my last name, De Rosa, but, also, roses are strong and can outlive most plants with little care. Gorgeous flower with the silkiest petals and pretty smell. I loved the thorns the most though, like the armor we all have, to warn off others to stay away. When I had them done, they were my armor. To keep me strong, keep me going, remind me that I am beautiful to me. My brother came with me one time and got a few roses done too, matching ones. He said to me, ‘You are never alone, Alessia, we are always family till we die’. I think he did it to support me, remind me he’d always have my back.” “Did your family not know what you went through?” His face is concerned, his hand stops running through my hair, resting his hand on my back.
“We never talked about it, we never said the details. Long story short, my Papa and brother had to know. Being who Papa was, he set me free in a way he knew I needed to grow and let me work it out myself. My mom wanted me to talk to her about it, but I wouldn’t. I wanted to start over, not dwell on what I couldn’t change. They all knew, but let me go to get better or be stronger. I needed that, the support, not the talks.”
Feeling done and not really wanting to go further into that ordeal, I roll onto my back, pulling the covers over us, feeling the breeze fall over me, cooling my skin. Blade rolls over onto his side and pulls me back to him, then up against his chest. Kissing my shoulder, we fall into a deep restful sleep.

Something wet pokes my face. Eww, for the love of all things holy, what was that? It pokes me again, then snorts bad breath up my nose. “Tugger! Don’t poke my face, dude, that’s so rude. Take yourself outside!”
Pulling the blankets over my head, I cover my face from his doggy kisses. “Uhmf, get off the bed, Tugg! Jesus, fine I’ll take you out, God forbid you use the doggy door, dumb ass.” Frustrated because the floors are cold and I’m still naked, I stomp to the bathroom to pee, and, on my way out, I grab Blade’s shirt and jacket, along with my boots.
“Alessia, you mad at Tugger, babe?” He’s laughing at me, which only pisses me off more. “I’ll take him out, you’re only half dressed and it’s cold out.”
“Whatever, I’m dressed, I’ll take him out. Start the shower, I’ll be there in a second.” Slamming the door on my way out, I follow Tugger. For some reason, he always makes me take him out first thing in the morning. Probably because when he was a puppy, that was our routine. Why isn’t he past that?
∞ ∞ ∞
After a hot, sexy shower, and a happy ending in there, we get dressed and eat our breakfast. Blade has just left to get to the clubhouse to do whatever the Prez does all day.
Right on time, the sound of two, no, actually four, car doors shut. Tugger sits by the door wagging his cute tail back and forth, waiting for the girls to walk in. He’s so damn cute, but annoying first thing in the morning.
In walk Dana, Jenn, Mom and Katie. “Well, hello, ladies, what a surprise! You all came to visit me? How sweet.” Pulling my hands up together up under my chin, I fake smile for them.
My mom smiles back. “Morning, baby girl,” she says, then kisses my cheek. “Get your bag, you’re coming with us to breakfast, because we all are hungry and we all want the story of what happened last night. We waited for you, but one of the guys, Spider, he said you two had taken off for the night. Your Papa had me take your Tahoe to a hotel last night.” She smiles big, “I brought it back this morning with me and Katie.”
Grabbing my purse and jacket, I follow my girl crew while listening to my Momma talk on and on. Even all the way to the diner, and while they order their food. I know she’s excited and happy for me. Seriously though, does she always talk this much? “Momma, cool it and slow down, no one else has even had a chance to get a word in. I’ll tell you all about it,” I tell her softly and squeeze her hand.
“Sorry, sweetie, we just had such a great night, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you light up like that.”
“I know, Momma.” Jenn and Dana look a little worried. They know this was a big night for me.
“Vegas, when I was rounding the tables, I noticed Derrick later on, about halfway through the game. I didn’t know if he was just there waiting for you or waiting to leave. Never did order a drink from me. Did he go to the bar at all, Dana?”, Jenn asks her, lifting her cup and taking a drink of her coffee.
“No, like you said, I noticed him off to the side, thinking the same. Next thing I know, I look over and you two are shutting the door to your office. It was a busy night at the bar. We were packed, which was good. What happened? What did he say?” Dana sounds distressed. Great, she probably didn’t sleep well. I never thought about texting either of them either. “I see that look, don’t worry, Axl told me you took care of it, and Blade and you were happy. Now details. Go.”
“I was pretty blindsided and felt a little ambushed. One minute I’m collecting my winnings in my victorious sweep of the World Series. Next thing I know, Derrick is standing right in front of me. Two totally different feelings. One minute I’m crazed with a win, the next I’m being pulled down into a low reality. We talked in the office. He wanted to try again.”
Waiting all this time, my mom deserves to hear it all. I do feel a little bad when I tell her about the other woman. She gasps and her face gets bright red. To give her credit, she does not say a word, which I’m sure she’ll unload on Papa, poor guy. I never mention Ashley though, because that ties her to Jenn, besides, I’m sure she’s still around.
“After all these years I realize my part in it. Don’t get me wrong, he was way wrong for what he did, and that was what broke us apart eventually. But I just realized that, in my own way, I knew I was giving him too much space and didn’t protect our relationship like I should have. In my way, I was letting him go. I knew we didn’t fit, we didn’t love each other that way. We did love and that’s why his betrayal did hurt. We were friends turned into lovers stemmed from convenience and circumstance. I forgave him a long time ago, but, seeing him last night, I had to forgive myself. I just didn’t know that was my missing piece that I had left in the past. Forgiving the younger version of myself, I was protecting her.”
Taking in a full breath and letting it out, I feel whole again. As if my family was a priest and I absolved myself of my sins. The waitress delivers our food and, noticing my mom, she takes off as fast as her feet will carry her.
Except, I feel bad because my Momma is crying and that makes me feel awful. “Momma, don’t cry, it’s a good thing.” I start rubbing her back and she pulls me in for a hug.
“Baby girl, I waited years to hear that story, and it’s so sad and so uplifting. Please finish your story. These damn hormones got me emotional. Please finish the rest. I ordered extra food because I know you’ll pick off my plate.” That gives me watery eyes. Damn, this woman knows me too well.
Katie laughs at her. “One day you’ll get what she is saying. It’s hard for a mom to let go. Not be involved in your life and not help you fix it. It’s what mothers do, we worry, or we fix it. Plus, menopause is karma’s fucked up cousin.”
All of us laugh because Katie is sweet and kind and when she says something that off from her character, it’s a priceless moment.
Taking a moment to collect ourselves, I continue the story. “Right about the time I tell Derrick there is nothing between us like there should be, Blade knocks on my door and walks in. I swear Spider stood behind the door like an enforcer to scare the shit out of me. Standing there all badass, with his arms crossed. Derrick got the hint that Blade was there for me, he had nothing else to say at that point and walked out. Blade asked me if it was over, I said yes, it was so over. He asked what I wanted, and I said all I wanted was him. We took off after that short conversation. We went to my house where he stayed the night for the first time. It was really amazing, never have I ever experienced a night like that.” The feelings from the night with Blade come rushing back and have my face reddening.
“Wow, so you guys are together, no more bullshit from now on?”, Jenn asks all perky, even for her.
“Yes, no more pissing each other off and flirting around it. We agreed to give it a real shot.” I really believe deep down that we are giving us a real shot.

After breakfast, I head home and my Mom comes with me. We spend the afternoon watching old movies and relaxing together. Knowing my Papa stays busy, I make a note to invite her to stay more often. I just miss her being around. Besides, she cleans, so yeah, definitely inviting her to come more often. Later, she comes to work with me, along with Katie, and when we aren’t too busy, we have mini dance parties, which is such a blast. How many people get to dance while at work, unless you’re a stripper? Not many, I know that.
Papa picks her up around eight and they head over to my house to crash. Mom takes Tugger with her. We are getting ready to close for the night, so I text Blade to see if he’s still at the clubhouse.
Me: Did you get dinner? How does a hamburger sound? At the clubhouse?
Blade: No, I didn’t. Get your ass here with food. Yes, at the clubhouse.
Me: On it, and on my way.
“Yo, Dana, let’s close this up for the night!”, I yell over the floor to her.
“What do you think I was doing picking up these chairs and putting them on the tables for?”, she deadpans, the smart ass.
“Har-har, I’ll start cleaning up the bar after I order some food. You want a hamburger? I’m heading over to the clubhouse. You wanna come with me?”
“Yes, on the burger, I’m starving! And, yeah, I’ll head over to the club with you.” She gave in easily, which makes me a little suspicious. But then, her Dad could be there still. We work together, and, within ten minutes, we’re on the road.
Getting there, we walk in and hear Guns N’ Roses’ Paradise City playing loud on the speakers. Dana and I both turn and say at the same, “Ghost.” If that song plays, better watch out because that’s his drinking fight song. That means he’s drunk and is looking to fight. Through the crowd near the bar, we see Tank, Axl, Spider and Blade all sitting at a table.
Blade spots me, and, when I’m close enough, he pulls me down to sit in his lap. Happy to have my hands on him, my lips find his for a big kiss. “Hey, here, we brought you dinner and a few extra hamburgers, I figured you had your boys here still.” Blade looks stressed out and tired. Maybe I can get him to leave, get some sleep that he really needs.
Axl shoves Tank over, giving Dana a seat next to me and Blade, but also giving her a seat next to him. “Where’s my kiss, princess?” She just rolls her eyes at him. “Then I want that burger,” he points to her bags of food.
“Here, and I am not your princess!” Dana drops the bag in front of Axl like a brick on the table.
“Yes, you are my princess, Dana. I’m too wiped out to fight you right now. We’ll have to pick this up tomorrow.” Dana rolls her eyes again, but it’s a little less angry than normal, or she is just as tired.
“You tired?” I ask Blade, tracing my thumbs over the bags under his eyes. Blade closes his eyes, leaning deeper into my touch. Kissing his forehead, his eyes open and connect with mine. Poor man is tired. I’m betting with all these men here, they are working on something big. I know he won’t tell me unless he can or needs to. I will be his resting place, his home to come to when he needs me. The rest doesn’t matter to me, only him.
“Thanks, babe.” Blade kisses me again. I hand him the burger and fries from the bag, and he begins to cram food into his mouth, then ends up eating all of his and most of my fries.
