Pandora's Box

by Coffee

After a few minutes of suckling, Peaches began looking drowsy. Sleep was imminent. Blu turned to face Elias who was sitting beside her, watching as she naturally settled her down.

  “Here, take over.” Blu pulled Peaches away from her body and into his arms.

  “You don’t want to finish?” Elias felt Peaches would notice the switch and start back cutting up.

  “She’s your child. You have to get comfortable doing this yourself.” Wow! His child. It sounded weird for her to openly say that but it was true nonetheless.

  He bobbed his head, taking her and the bottle from Blu. Peaches looked so angelic although she was hell a few moments ago. He couldn’t help but smile at Peaches as he watched her stop and go suction on the nipple.

  When she was finished, Elias removed the bottle from her mouth and went to lay her down, but Blu stopped him.

  She shook her head. “Don’t do that. You have to burp her first. Otherwise, that gas will sit on her stomach and make her cranky. It’s painful for them, you know?”

  Elias blew out but lifted her to his shoulder. Blu searched through the bag and pulled out a cloth diaper to place over his shoulder.

  “Why you doing that?”

  “So she don’t throw up on you.”

  “Good lookin’ out.”

  Blu showed him how to cup his hand and pat her back with a gentle firmness. Once she let it out a good one, Blu told him he was okay to lay her down.

  “That was rough.” He admitted.

  “You’ll get use it and it will become easier as time goes on.”

  They sat in silence for a moment. Blu not knowing exactly where to start and Eli not wanting to say the wrong thing.

  “So, ummm, I came by because I’ve spent some time thinking about our last talk and I want to have a different one this time. One where you’re willing to understand me as I understand your position. Is that cool or is now not a good time?” She looked over at his sleeping beauty.

  “Now is good as long as you promise not to chomp your boy head off.”

  “Nah, none of that. I was angry, then.”

  “So you not no more?”

  She shook her head no. “I still feel some type of way, though. I feel like you could have told me she was once your bed partner. After all, y’all spend time alone. I could have determined if that was going to be a problem for me as your girlfriend. Then, I wouldn’t have been upset about Peaches being your child at all because I would have known the potential was there for her to be yours. Does that make sense to you?”

  “It do, ya heard me.”

  “So, why didn’t you tell me?”

  Elias thought about the answer for a second and told her the honest truth. “I only met two women in my life that I respected. And that’s you and Samiyah. I guess I found it disrespectful to put our business out there like that. But I can admit it was disrespectful to you for me not to have said something.”

  “Speaking of disrespect, I’m sorry for calling you a hoe ass. That was dirty of me.”

  “Yea, you was down bad fa that ‘cause I haven’t been doin’ nathaniel. Matter of fact, I been jackin’ my shit for the last two months. I ain’t did that since—never! But I was doin’ it for you.”

  Blu blushed and the one dimple in her left cheek sunk deep into her skin. “If it makes you feel any better, I haven’t shared myself with anyone either.”

  “That’s ‘cause your ass selfish with your kitty kat.” Elias clowned her and she slapped him upside the head.

  She giggled before taking a more serious disposition. “I’ve missed you, us. You don’t just find chemistry like we have around the corner and I still want us if that’s on the table.”

  “I’ma be honest. I’ve had plenty relations but you’ve been my only relationship so there’s a lot of shit I ain’t gon’ do the right way but I ain’t gon’ stay left forever. If you can feel that, then pull up a chair.”

  Blu responded with a peck. A peck that turned into kiss. A kiss that turned into a full blown make-out session.

  Aroused by her feel, he began squeezing, groping and gripping her body. Their brief separation brought a level of appreciation he was happy to express with his hands.

  “Don’t start a fire you can’t put out.” She panted, wanting to give herself to him in that moment.

  He looked down at his hard dick from his joggers, begging that it be released. “Oh, I got something to put it out, ya heard me.”

  He went in to kiss her again, but she stopped him and pointed to the other sofa. “Ahh, Peaches.”

  “Shit!” So, if she wasn’t here, you would’ve let me hit that?”

  She shook her head at his choice of words but chalked it up to Eli being Eli. “Maybe.”

  If it wasn’t for her denim jeans, he would have known from the drench of her panties that she was powerless to tell him no.

  Elias sat back and looked at his girl, admiring her ways. If she wasn’t anything else, she proved she was understanding. So, while the portal of honesty was still open, he felt now was a good time to tell her about Cujo and put everything on Front St.

  “Boo, I got something I want to—” Elias was interrupted by the doorbell. ”Hold on, boo. That’s probably Samiyah. You good?”

  Her stomach tightened when he mentioned her name. She supposed it was the uncomfortable reality that Samiyah was no longer just a friend. Now she was the friend who had her man and if fate were to ever be so cruel, a friend who could have him again.

  “I’m good.” She suppressed her thoughts.

  Elias kissed her lips and then opened the door only to see Samiyah upset. He could tell without her saying a word because her eyes never lied.

  Samiyah saw Blu sitting inside and knew crying on his shoulder wasn’t going to be an option, so she faked a smile and spoke to him and then to her. “Hey, Blu. How are you?”

  “I’m good. You?”

  “Not so good. I have an upset tummy. This baby won’t give me a break.” She blamed her obvious facial upset on her pregnancy.

  “You’re pregnant?” The shock of her statement registered on her face and in her voice.

  “I am and I need to get home to rest. So, I’ll just be getting my little one and leaving.” She turned to face Eli, shifted her eyes off to the side where Blu sat and gave him the are y’all straight look. “How was she?”

  He bobbed his head to answer her unspoken question first before he responded out loud to her second one. “She something else. I can tell ya that much.”

  Samiyah smiled and went to collect her things. “You’ll be a pro before you know.”

  “If you would have seen me in action, you might think differently.”

  “Come on, big girl. Let’s go for a ride.”

  “I got that.” Eli reached for her car seat. “I’ll be right back,” he told Blu as he walked Samiyah to her car.

  “Bye, Blu.”

  “Bye.” She waved back.

  “Is everything a’ight with you?” Eli asked the moment they stood next to the car.

  “It’s Gerran we’re talking about, but that’s a different time. You need to get back inside. You don’t want her feeling insecure.”

  “She ain’t like that.”

  “That’s what you think. Call me when you’re alone.” After securing the baby, she took her seat behind the wheel and started her engine.

  “I’ma holla.” He stood in his driveway and waited for her to pull off before he headed back inside.

  Blu quickly moved away from the blinds and hurried back to her seat. She didn’t want Elias to catch her spying but as soon as he walked in, she inquired, “Is that—”

  Elias already knew she was tweaking to find out. “No. Her baby is not mines. I told you it only happened once.”

  “Okay. I won’t ask again.” She zipped her lips and threw away the imaginary key.

  To ensure that things remained light between them, Elias hinted kinky suggestion. “I know what you need to stop all your trippin’ out on me.” />
  Elias pulled her up on her feet, wrapping his arms around her waist while kissing her long and deep.

  Her eyes fluttered and she felt woozy. His kisses were always so intoxicating. She could only imagine going all the way with him and being drunk in love afterwards. That was always the reason she kept her sexual distance, too fearful of falling too deep too soon.

  Pumping the brakes, she blurted, “What did you want to tell me earlier?”

  She pulled back to cool down the heat stirring between them.

  But Elias wasn’t having that. He waited for the right time with Blu because she wasn’t the average woman. She was respectful, sexy without trying, funny and caring. Just a few of the things that made dipping off inside of her love worth waiting for, but the waiting game was about to end and there was no way he was going to mention her retarded ass sister and fuck up the mood.

  They were on the verge of something that was long overdue in his mind. She wanted him and he could tell. The curious look in her eye, the exaggerated breathing and the force behind the thrust of her tongue told him that she only needed a little convincing.

  He couldn’t bring up La’Tasha if he wanted to.

  “We can talk about that later. Right now it ain’t more important than what I wanna do.”

  He pulled her into his body and she felt the jump of his dick against her stomach.

  “And what’s that?” She wanted to hear the answer although she knew she shouldn’t have asked.

  “Don’t stop me and I’ll show you.”

  “You wouldn’t be the first woman sprung off a man’s good sex. So, quit thinking so damn much because what you won’t do another woman will. Don’t be naïve, chile. You’re a rare find but pussy isn’t. Keep your man happy before he ends up someone else’s.”

  I hear you, grandma, Blu thought to herself as she took his hand and followed his leading.

  Samiyah made it home and felt more alone than ever. She couldn’t help but see images of Gerran everywhere she looked. They christened every inch of their house and with his energy stamped everywhere it was hard not to miss him, even with his Mr. Hyde personality shining brightly.

  The downs of her situation made her miss Minnie much more.

  She reached for her phone and dialed her up. She was certain if she would have made it back from Italy, she would have called her but she needed to try anyway.

  After a few rings, the phone went to voicemail.

  I don’t even blame you, sis. If I could shut out the world, I would, too.

  After Minnie’s spiel played, the beep sounded.

  “Hey, I guess you guys are having so much fun away from it all that y’all decided to stay in paradise a little longer, huh? Well, brief update: the baby is great but Gerran and I are back on the fritz. Long story short, I need my friend. So, whenever you are back and settled, please call me. I love you. I miss you. Stay enjoying your honeymoon, though. Bye.”

  Thinking back on Gerran, she was still very upset but with her phone still in her hand, she decided to send him a message informing him of the news from earlier. After all, there was no need to let business falter even if their relationship was going down in flames.

  5:13 p.m.: Zanete called earlier to congratulate me on finalizing their decision for you to exclusively work with Pleasure. You’re welcome and it’s still fuck you!

  That was unnecessary fuel she added to their blazing fire but it felt right to say it since he was abusively lashing out at her.

  A few minutes later her phone rang. She assumed it was Gerran calling but it wasn’t. When she saw it was Minnie, she answered excitedly.

  “Minnie, I’m soooo happy you’re back. Why didn’t you call me?”

  She didn’t respond with the same vigor although she was happy to hear from her as well. “I never left, sis.”

  Samiyah knew something was wrong by the tone of her voice. “What’s the matter?”

  “Girl, a lot. Too much. I’m at Charity and had been since the day of my wedding.”

  “What in the hell? Why didn’t you call me? I would had been there? Minnie, what happened?”

  “No offense but my mind had only been focused on what was before me. I honestly didn’t know the world existed unless it came to our hospital room. But what happened was Yuriah was shot by my ex and has been in a coma since coming out of his second surgery.”

  “Oh, my God!” Samiyah’s mouth flung open. She didn’t know what to say but she knew what to do. “I’m on my way.”

  She didn’t mean to hang up on Minnie but she couldn’t think straight. She gathered her daughter and their things and flew out of the house. She had to get to her friend’s side.

  Chapter 20

  Elias sat on the corner of his bed, pulling Blu between his thighs. His hands sensually slicked underneath her shirt and up her back. As her top crept up her skin, he began tonguing her navel and kissing a trail up her stomach and onto her B cup delights through her lacy brazier.

  Blu started doing slow neck rolls as she gripped his head. “Ohh! Ummm!”

  With his hands still wrapped around her body, he stood to his feet to completely undress her out of her blouse and bra, now thrusting his tongue into her mouth.

  With his hand resting on her lower back, he pressed her into him firmly as he used his other hand to palm her punani through her jeans.

  “Ahh haa! Ummm!” she whimpered, placing her hand on his wrist to stop him from massaging her mound. “Baby, wait.”

  “No.” Elias kept his hand in place.

  “Ummm, baby” she moaned pleasure. “There are, ummm, no more surprises, right?” She had to be sure before she unleashed her inner whore and the floodgates of her emotional damn.

  Asking him a question while his dick was harder than cracking The Da Vinci Code wasn’t the best time to get honest answers.

  His one-eyed monster ventriloquized his response for him because the head on his shoulders couldn’t think worth a damn. “No. No surprises.” He continued necking her.

  That was all she needed to hear. She pulled away from him and he stepped forward, but she blocked him with the shove of her extended palm. She unbuttoned her jeans and stepped out of them, leaving her panties on.

  Elias, seeing that, stripped out of everything.

  Blu looked at his inflexible muscle and her mouth watered. She had to taste him. She sealed the gap between them and kissed him strongly before she allowed her body to glide downward and onto her knees.

  She placed her hands on his thighs for support, allowed the tip of his dick to jump against her lips and then she opened wide to give it a warm and wet welcome.

  Blu created a rhythm between the slides of her mouth going back and forth as the suction of her tongue manipulated its way around the girth of his pole.

  “Ummm, ummm, mmmm, hmmm…” her moans were continuous as she enjoyed taking as much of him as she could.

  “Damn! Awww! Shit!” Elias went to grab the back of her head while he spoon fed her dick but she slapped his hands away and unlatched herself to speak.

  “Don’t touch me!” she spoke forcefully, lustfully and it turned him the fuck on.

  Eli shot his hands up in surrender fashion so she could get back to doing her thing.

  Before she resumed, she hawked spit onto his caramel rod and then went for broke. Her mouth was sensational. Elias began clutching the air, bringing his fists to the front of his face as his toes tried their hardest to grip the carpet beneath them.

  There were levels to sucking good dick and it appeared Blu knew them all. And after a few minutes more of her trying to suck the life force from his body his face turned into something god awful to look at.

  “Oh shit! I’m ‘bout to nut.”

  Hearing that made Blu turn up. She grabbed the back of his legs and assisted him in driving his stiffness to that gag zone in the back of her throat. She was on the verge of extracting his juice, which caused him to wrap his hands in her curls to position her fo
r the heavy swallow.

  “Ahhhhh! Shit! Ahhhhh shit! Ahhhh shit!” His cream slipped down her esophagus.

  Eli didn’t have to tell her how A1 he found her head game. The mere fact that he almost lost his balance twice was all the props she needed.

  Blu rose to her feet. She had her fill of appetizer. Now she was ready for the meal.

  “Get on the bed and strap the fuck up!” She gave the order. He followed it.

  “You ain’t sayin’ shit!”

  Eli walked over to his nightstand and pulled out a few Magnums, tossing them onto the mattress, eagerly tearing one open and sliding it on.

  Blu began pulling her underwear down but Eli stopped her. He waved his hand side to side. “Fuck that! Leave them bitches on.”

  Now it was her time to obey. She did as she was told and then climbed into bed, sitting on top.

  Blu lifted off of him just enough to dip two off inside of her throbbing tunnel. She tasted her nectar off of one and then offered the other to Eli.

  With no hesitation, he allowed his tongue to wrap around her finger slicked with her honey, only to discover he was fond of her flavor. She was sweet enough to eat.

  “Damn!” Eli never dined between the legs of any woman but today he was willing to change all of that.

  Eli flipped Blu over onto her back as he prepared to go downtown. But Blu had different plans. She pulled him back up toward her face and wrapped her arms around his neck. Flicking her candy licker against his earlobe, she whispered. “I been wanting to fuck you for so long. Don’t make me wait to feel you.”

  The feeling was mutual. That’s why he had every intention on tearing her ass up.

  Eli stared down at her, silently. Then he slowly nodded his head as he pulled her panties to the side and maneuvered his brick at her opening.

  “This is going to hurt.” He centered himself at her warmth and right as he went inside, he covered her mouth to quash her screams. His thickness was sure to bust her revirginized pussy wide open and that had a tendency to bring out the falsetto in a woman.

  “Ummmm. Ummmm,” her cries were subdued by the force of his tongue against hers. Her short nails dug into his back and as he pushed more of his inches further inside, her eyes watered.
