Checkmate 2: Let the Games Begin

by Tiece

  “I’m just so happy for y’all. Please, get up and come in here so I can fix you a plate. I’m finally gonna be a grandmother!” Mama Mack grabbed Mona by the hand and walked her inside the house followed by Rico who was smiling from ear to ear.

  __________

  “That food was delicious.” Mona said while she rubbed her little baby bump. If she hadn’t said anything about being pregnant, people wouldn’t know because her stomach only had a small bulge.

  “I’m glad you and my grandbaby enjoyed it.” Mama Mack said. She had started clearing the table.

  “My mama is not gonna let you sleep now that she knows we’re having a baby.” Rico said grinning.

  “That’s right, boy.” Mama Mack said as she mean mugged Rico. “I’m so happy about this news and you better be good to her, too.”

  “You don’t have to worry ‘bout that. I’m gonna marry her one day.” Mona blushed, because she was excited to know that Rico felt this way about her.

  “What do you think about him letting his hair grow a little?” Mama Mack asked as she rubbed her hand through his medium sized curls.

  “It’s very cute on him. He actually reminds me of Pooch Hall now.” Mona commented. “He already has his features, but with his hair like that it really looks like they should be close kin.” Mona smiled looking over at Rico. He just shook his head as if he disagreed, but he was aware of their resemblance. People told him that all the time.

  “Who is that?” Mama Mack asked. She didn’t know this Pooch Hall, but she knew that her son was a very handsome young man.

  “He is the sexy guy who plays Derwin on the TV sitcom, The Game.”

  “I’ve never saw that show, but I’ll have to watch it one day. I gotta get use to that lil curly look. He normally keeps it cut low like I like it.” Mama Mack commented.

  “Mama you don’t like my hair like this because you said that I look more like daddy.” Rico said.

  “Please son, don’t talk him up. I haven’t spoken with you father in a long time and I don’t care to speak with him. I’m glad he’s gotten married to that thang he left us for, because before then he was begging me back and I wasn’t having it.” Mama Mack said. “He probably would still be trying to get me back if he saw me, but I do my best to stay outta his way. Asshole.” She quickly stated.

  “Mama I was seventeen when you and dad went y’all separate ways and he said that you were so busy with your career that you didn’t have time for him and that’s the reason why he left.” Rico said while taking up for his daddy.

  “Boy hush, I didn’t ask you nothing.” Mama Mack said smacking her lips. “If it wasn’t for my career you wouldn’t have been living so well.” She stated.

  “I know mama and speaking of living.” Rico paused before he continued. “I’ll be living in my own house starting tonight. My bedroom set came in today.”

  Mama Mack cut her eyes at him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

  “I just wanted to surprise you by moving a little earlier than expected.” He replied.

  She smiled. “Well, I’m happy for you, son. You’re doing great things and I’m proud of you.” Mama Mack kissed him on his cheek. “I’m so very proud of you.” She said with tears in her eyes. Rico shook his head, because he knew that his mama was a very emotional person and took everything to heart. In some ways he’d inherited that from her.

  “Thanks for the food, Mama. We’re about to get on outta here.” He said before his mama could start up again. He stood up then kissed her on the cheek. “I love you, Mama.”

  “Alright and I love you too. Mona, please keep me updated and call me if you ever need anything.” Mama Mack said.

  “Why do you think I’m here, mama? I’m the baby’s daddy.” Rico said.

  “Well call both of us, okay.” Mama Mack laughed.

  “I will call you, Mama Mack. I’ll see you later and, thanks for the good food. That really hit the spot.” Mona said following behind Rico. She gripped his fingers like she didn’t want to let go.

  “Okay and y’all be safe. Son,” Mama Mack called out as Rico turned and looked at her. “I’ll be over tomorrow to visit you. I’m really glad you got your own place.”

  Rico smiled. “That’s cool, Mama. Call me first to make sure I’m home.”

  “Boy, you don’t have to be home. Hell, I got a key.” Mama Mack said laughing.

  “Don’t remind me, Mama. Now go back inside the house.” He insisted, watching Mama Mack go back inside the house, closing the door behind her.

  Mona and Rico walked out to their cars. Rico was anxious to ask Mona over to his house. She hit the unlock button on her key chain and Rico opened her door and stood directly in front of her.

  “I had a nice time with you tonight. I hate it’s about to end.” She said. She stood there wishing he’d ask her to come to his house.

  “Would you like to follow me to my house? I would love to have you over.” Rico asked.

  “Have you asked anyone else over?” She questioned back, trying to play hard.

  “Baby, this is my first night staying there. I promise you that I’ve not even thought about asking anyone over and I haven’t even slept with another woman since you.” Mona laughed out loud as if to say, yeah right.

  “I’m serious, babe. I put that on everything I love.” He gently touched Mona’s belly. “Please believe me. I mean it.” She paused with a deep gaze into Rico’s sexy eyes.

  “Well, sure I’d love to come over since you put it that way.” She said feeling his sincerity. He kissed her lips slipping his tongue in her mouth. She hugged him tight around his neck and could feel herself wanting him more. She stopped him quickly.

  “Let’s go. I’ll follow you.” She said getting inside of her car and starting the ignition. Rico closed the door behind her. He ran and got inside of his car. He was overjoyed to have Mona back in his life.

  Mona pulled in right behind Rico. He stopped in his driveway to let up his two car garage. He drove inside the garage then got out of his car and asked that she pull in beside him. Mona drove inside the garage and got out of her car. The look on her face told him that she was impressed.

  “You have a nice home. I like this.” She said.

  “Thanks, I appreciate that. I’ve always wanted a nice home and I’m very happy to have gotten my hands on this one.” Rico unlocked the door and let the garage down. “Come on in.” They walked inside the house. Mona looked around with delight in her eyes. She was proud to have a baby daddy who was now making an honest living and was doing well for himself.

  “This is very impressive I must say.” She said and walked into the den.

  “Well, sit down. Make yourself at home, Sweetie.” Mona smiled because she loved this new attitude that Rico had. He seemed so mature and ready for commitment and she was, at this point, ready for whatever. He walked out of the kitchen with a glass of Minute Maid fruit punch, handing the glass to her.

  “Have a drink.” Mona took the glass and smiled.

  “Fruit Punch, huh?” She giggled.

  “Damn right, fruit punch,” he said. “You sho ain’t drinking nothing else unless it’s water.” She laughed because she liked his aggressive demeanor. “I’ma fix me a real drink.” He said walking over to the bar. “You know how I do. That part of my life ain’t changed.” Rico poured himself a drink of Belvedere and white cranberry juice. He walked back into the den and turned on the CD player with the surround sound. He had the surround sound connected through the house so the music sounded clear and smooth as John Legend’s This Time, played. Rico sat next to Mona. He touched her thigh and smiled.

  “I’ve missed you so much and have dreamed of the day that we’d be alone together again. You just don’t know how I’ve been coping after recuperating from being shot. My life flashed before my eyes that day and all I wanted to do since then was to settle down and get right with myself and with you.” Rico drank from his glass. Mona
dropped her head down. She felt bad about dropping Rico like a bad habit without explaining to him her reasons why.

  “I want to apologize to you for leaving you like that. I was going through some emotional issues and stress from school. I just didn’t know how to handle things after I’d found out that I was pregnant.” Rico cut her off.

  “That’s in the past now. Let’s put that behind us and move forward. I’m sorry to have to give you the news about Monica. I’m really so sorry about that. I know I’ve done some crazy things and I can’t say I’m sorry enough.” Rico closed in and kissed Mona on the neck. “Monty and I had a long talk and we both were played by Monica, but if I hadn’t got with her then things wouldn’t be this way now.” Rico continued to kiss her. Mona was becoming more and more turned on. “I’m sorry baby. I’m truly sorry.” Mona put her hand up to Rico’s mouth.

  “Please, don’t say anything else.” She kissed him. “Make love to me.” She whispered without hesitation. Rico didn’t skip a beat as he picked her up and took her to his bedroom. The sweet sounds of Keith Sweat, Come into my bedroom, began to play.

  Rico gently took Mona’s shirt off while he kissed on her small, but bulging belly. He unsnapped her bra and began to massage her breast. Mona dropped her head back enjoying the soft touch of her man. Rico stood up and pulled his shirt over his head. His muscular frame looked tasty and Mona sat up on the side of the bed, kissing on his six-pack. She rubbed her hands up and down his back and gripped it tight as Rico sucked passionately on her neck. She scooted back on the bed succumbing to Rico pulling her pants off followed by her lace panties while taking his time pleasing her. He then began kissing her inner thighs making Mona squirm inside wanting him. He played around her clit, inserting his finger in and out of her making her juices flow. Mona moaned just a little like she was trying to hold back her feelings of wanting to let it all go. Rico seduced her with his tongue while teasing her already knowing just how bad he was making her want him. Then, without notice, he slid inside her so smoothly until she didn’t even realize that he’d come out of his jeans. He gently stroked her insides. She held onto his back, breathing rhythmically as he stroked her warm walls. He whispered in her ear. “I love you.”

  She whispered back. “I love you, too.”

  He continued to suck on her breast, taking his time to make sure that he pleased her in every way he possibly could. She enjoyed every bit of his nine and a half inches of thickness and pleasure he was giving her. Her insides were so wet and sensitive as Rico went in and out. The slower he went the more he wanted to bust one. So he’d speed up a little then slow back down. He would pull it out and watch her juices on the shaft of his dick as he slid it back inside her gently. The inside of Mona’s wet walls began to squeeze him tight and she jerked a little. Rico could feel her pussy throbbing around the sides and head of his dick. He couldn’t hold back any longer as he let it go holding her tight. He didn’t say a word but she could tell by his actions that he had cum too. Mona felt good knowing that she and Rico had made amends and was now in an honest relationship. She trusted his word to be real because he came clean about the Monica situation and she didn’t even have to say anything about it. He seemed very sincere about being with her. She could tell that he really wanted to be with her and not Monica even though they both were pregnant. The only thing that made her uneasy was that Monica wasn’t around. She couldn’t help but wonder that if Monica came back, would that change things between her and Rico.

  Rico was in love with the fact that Mona forgave him for being with Monica. He had always had a thang for her and the fact that she wanted to be in a real relationship with him was something he’d always wanted. To top things off, she was having his baby and he was ecstatic about it. He definitely planned on marrying her one day. He had his run in the streets and felt that his phase with different women was over now that he was with the woman of his dreams. He did wonder about Monica. He knew that she was possibly pregnant with his baby, but didn’t know how she’d act if she showed back up in his life. He wanted to be the stand up Father to this baby if it was his, but didn’t want to cause confusion in his relationship with Mona. He knew that only time would tell how that situation would be and all he could do was pray that things would be alright between all of them. He and Mona laid there as they both stared into each other’s eyes. Mona smiled looking at his handsome face then he leaned in with a soft kiss to her lips causing them to make love all over again.

  Chapter Seven

  Candy walked out of the bathroom and over to her dresser mirror as she stood there primping and putting on lip gloss. She smiled just knowing that Monty was in the next room reading MJ a book while trying to put him to sleep. She opened her robe just a little showing off her pink and black laced lingerie and smiled. She knew Monty would love this sexy little number. She picked up her Twilight Woods Bath and Body Works perfume and sprayed just a little on herself with a dab of it behind each ear. She didn’t want him to smell too much of it but just enough to make him want her more. As she stood there pinning her shoulder length hair up in a nice bun Monty walked in smiling.

  “That lil fella finally went to sleep, babe. I thought that I was gonna have to bring him back in here and just lay him in between us as usual.” He said.

  “That’s what’s wrong with him. His lil ass is spoiled, but we’re not giving in tonight baby,” Candy said. She turned to him and opened up her white robe. “Because, you would have to miss out on all this,” she said, showing off her deep dimples as she smiled seductively.

  “Thank God that boy of ours went to sleep!” Monty grinned and rubbed his hands together as if he is warming them up. “Damn, baby you’re looking good in that lil sexy get up right there. I haven’t seen you in nothing that sexy in a long time.” He walked over grabbing Candy around her waist and kissing on her neck. “Come here gurl.”

  “I know you’ve missed this, but I don’t want to throw this at you all the time. I need to use an element of surprise every now and then, as well. But, you can’t say that I haven’t been giving you what you really want and how you want it though, can you?” She asked.

  “No baby, you’re right. I could never say that, but it damn sho feels good to see that you haven’t lost that kinky, sexy side of you that caught my attention in the first place.” He walked up to her and immediately caressed her breast and tongue kissed her passionately.

  “I knew you would like this baby. You’ve been very deserving of this and I’m gonna show you just how much.” Candy kissed on Monty’s rock solid muscular chest and rubbed her fingertips gently over his muscular rib cage. She eased his boxers down as he stood there with his head leaned back. Once his boxer shorts were down far enough she teased the head of his dick with her tongue. He gently held the back of her head, looking down at her. She began to blow his mind, taking it all in. She had quickly learned how to please him well and he loved every minute of it.

  When she finished sucking him she rubbed his cum up and down his dick. The one thing that she hadn’t mastered was swallowing and she figured that was something she’d never be able to do without completely losing it all and throwing it back up. Monty didn’t mind because it all felt the same to him and he knew it took a lot for her to even be able to take it that far. He smiled as she stood to her feet and wiped her mouth a little.

  “Damn baby, you know how to keep your man satisfied don’t you?” He asked.

  “I try,” she said removing the top part of her lingerie, leaving on the matching, pink and black thongs. Monty immediately stiffened back up. He quickly was aroused all over again.

  “You’re doing a great job at it. I know that.” He said watching Candy’s nipples, because they were demanding his attention. “Now, let me show you how satisfied your man can make you feel.” Monty sucked gently on Candy’s perky breast causing her to moan from the tingling sensation he gave her. He lifted her up, palming her ass in his hands and laid her back on the bed. He moved her thong to the side as he
r hairless pearl stared him in the face. He ran his fingers over it seeing that the smoothness of her pussy only made him harder. He backed up a little, keeping a close eye on the prize then licked it gently. He spread her lips with his tongue as he inserted it inside her. He began to suck on her clit over and over again watching it swell up from the eruption that she was about to have. He became more turned on by the way pearl was talking to him. He quickly rose and entered her moist inviting hole as she called out his name and repeatedly told him she loved him.

  “I love you more,” he said, stroking her juicy insides while eagerly going in and coming out. She held him close to her body and tightly gripped his back with her legs. She had one of the best orgasms from the amazing feeling that he was giving her. He felt the walls of her pearl throbbing up against his dick, closing in on him. This alone made him want to bust one too. So, he flipped her over on her stomach watching her rise to the occasion and he continued to stroke her. He smacked her gently on her ass to make it jiggle. Then, without hesitation, he quickly nutted before he was even ready too, but she’d been able to make him do that since the first time they ever made love. He took in a deep breath and rolled over with a big smile on his face and looked over at Candy.

  “Baby that was the best sex I’ve ever had,” he said rubbing across her butt while she was laying flat on her stomach.

  “All I can say is that each love session with you only gets better.” She said looking him directly in his eyes. “Who would have ever thought that you and I would be together like this and have a son?” She asked.

  “I must say that you always knew it. I just didn’t want to see it at the time. I don’t know what it was but one day I just woke up and there you were. You were all lady-like, plump, and shit and that night on your birthday.” He paused with a smile on his face. “Woman, you were smoking hot!” He said making Candy laugh. “I will never forget that lil tight ass, orange fitted dress. Hell, I still think about the first time we kissed. That was a night to remember, too.” He said with thoughts that made him smile.
