I laughed at his corny line. “Okay big daddy, don’t hurt yourself.”
He bit his lip. “Say that in Portuguese and see what happens.”
Ocean loved when I spoke my native language while having sex. It was a huge turn on for him…and me.
I pulled my lips into my mouth, keeping from saying anything else. There was nothing playful about his dare.
Law and Dulce came to meet us by the limo. Her face was lit up like the fourth of July and I was so happy for her. That was until someone called for her and she started hyperventilating, grabbing onto Law’s shirt and pulling it down trying to hide herself.
The mood went from happy to dangerous in that moment.
Law ripped her away from him as he shoved her into Ocean and I. Ocean opened the limo door tucking us behind it. He looked to Dulce and me with a death stare.
“Don’t move, talk, or make a sound.” He looked at me extra hard.
I shook him off so he could go with Law. Putting my arm around Dulce to keep her by my side, we held on to the limo door and watched the tension unfold.
A man came around the front of the limo. He was an older man around the age of my father, but looked like a scumbag. Another body came around the limo and it was Oscar.
“Dulce, good to see you, care to introduce me to your new friends?” The older Hispanic man with the Dominican Republic flag tattooed onto his neck spoke.
He was dressed casual with a pressed white and blue Cuban shirt, simple slacks and dress shoes. The gold clinging to his neck and both wrists was classless.
Off the bat everything about him radiated no good, piece of shit, scumbag you would be a fool to let into your heart or your home.
Ocean and Law blocked our view.
“I wouldn’t say we’re friends more like her new family.” Law was the first to respond.
Ocean backed away to give Law some space and I could feel the control from Law’s body slipping away. It was crazy how in tune I was to his body as well as Ocean’s.
Ocean stepped away crossing his arms over his broad chest, opening his stance as he stared down the man and Oscar.
“Oh, is that so? Familia is a strong word to use for some crazy woman you just met.”
Oh! I hope that old man had a good life insurance policy, because Law was definitely going to cash in today.
Dulce tried to pull away from the door, but I pushed her back in place.
“If she’s that crazy and you can’t handle her, let me take her off your hands. I’m sure you have better things to do than babysit a crazy girl like her, am I right?”
The man shifted to the side to peek around Law, locking his eyes on Dulce. With a smug grin he responded and I knew before he opened his mouth that it was going to the wrong type of response.
“I wouldn’t say I can’t handle her. She just needs a little coaching to teach her just how I like it.”
Law turned to look at Dulce his face calm as he winked at her. When his body coiled back to face the ass hat, his left fist came up punching him so hard I could have sworn something cracked—other than his nose. Immediately blood was everywhere.
“Gun!” Someone shouted.
“Shit!” I tried to grab Dulce but she sucker punched me in the stomach taking off toward Law who was going in for another attack. As his arm come up coiling back again, she grabbed onto it, pulling it down letting her weight fall to the ground.
What I saw take place next yanked my soul out of my chest. Oscar was in Ocean’s face aiming a gun at him.
Right between the fucking eyes!
My body came around the door ready to run to him but Santi knocked me into the side of the limo pinning me to it. I stared at Ocean who looked calm but ready to start a war.
Law grabbed Dulce quickly tossing her into Trevor’s arms. Kicking and screaming, she fought back but I was silenced watching Oscar’s finger tug and release at the gun’s trigger.
Law stood in front of the bleeding man. “Tell him to drop it.” He roared at his bleeding victim.
“Let my step-daughter go and he’ll live.” The old man’s bloody mouth responded.
“So, you’re just going to shoot a man in cold blood?”
The man looked Law square in the face. “I’ve done worse hermano, didn’t she show you her scar.”
Law lunged at the man, sending them both flying into the hood of the limo. When Law regained his stance, he picked up the man slamming him into the cement sidewalk and started pounding in his face.
Ocean took the distraction as the opportunity to grab Oscar’s hand bending it at the wrist. He grabbed the gun and in quick movements like you see in movies, he disarmed the gun letting the clip fall to the ground but not before pistol-wiping Oscar then slamming Oscar’s body to the ground.
Alarms broke out and the yard started flooding with people. Santi dropped me, running over to stop Ocean from killing Oscar. He looked one second away from breaking his neck, for real this time.
Joseph jumped on Law and it took both him and Trevor to pull him off the bloody man on the floor. Santi grabbed them both by the shirts slamming them onto the limo.
“Get the girls and get the fuck out of here. The cops are on the way! GO!”
Ocean picked me up off the ground, carrying me into the limo. Law pried a still kicking and screaming Dulce off of Trevor. He shoved her inside the limo and jumped in, slamming the door behind him.
Law banged on the black privacy window and the limo’s engine started and pulled out fast.
As soon as Law’s body collapsed onto the bench, Dulce jumped on him bringing his face into her hands searching him for wounds. She tugged his shirt off to wipe away the blood from his face, neck and hands. He just watched her with an amazed expression on his face.
I turned to see Ocean sitting on the opposite side of the bench near the door. His chest was heaving up and down forcefully as his hands trembled and his legs jumped. I slowly moved my way towards him, not wanting to startle him.
When I was close enough, I reached out touching his hand. His head whipped in my direction and he lunged at me propping me down on his lap. He moved my hair away from my neck resting his face into his sweet spot.
I ran my hands through his hair, rubbing his back and massaging his shoulders. Tears finally sprang free from me as I cried at the realization that his life could have been taken from me moments ago.
He pulled me tighter, holding onto me like if he were let go he would physically drown. I rested my body onto his and gave him the comfort that he needed from me.
Chapter Thirty-Nine
Ocean
I was crashing. I knew from the moment I saw Liv that I was going to crash soon. Even though Law kept me occupied the past three weeks, it was hell without the woman I loved more than myself.
When he slept, I couldn’t. I would sneak out and buy coke. It was the only way to keep me away from binge drinking and sleeping with random women. It was the only way I could continue to look forward to my visiting days with Liv and I was really doing well with that. Except for when she looked at me today. I knew she was seeing the darkness lurking beneath my eyes.
Why’d they have to stop me? I wanted to kill him! God, I wanted to break his neck and I almost did but fucking Santi ruined it. I wanted to kill him for everything.
For my sister, for Liv wanting to kill herself, for my mother who walked away from me when I needed her, and for everything in my life that hurt me.
Liv tugged at my hair harder when she felt my breathing pick up. She pushed her neck into my face and I inhaled her vanilla scent.
I heard her whispers in my ear. “Ocean, baby fight; fight for us. I love you more than I need air to breathe. I’m back, baby. Let me love you. Let me love you forever. Give me your pain Ocean. I want it.”
I grabbed a handful of her hair, pulling her face back. Her face was wet from crying and her lips were pale and trembling. I looked over her shoulder to see Law on the floor of the limo with Dulce draped over him as he held her.
She grabbed my face in her shaking hands. I gripped her hair in my hands pulling hard. She whimpered but never took her eyes off me.
I brought her lips down to mine and devoured her. I kissed her like I was a soldier going to war. For the rest of the ride we kissed each other like it was our last until she fell asleep in my arms.
****
Walking through the door, it finally felt like home now that Liv was back. I made my way to our room while Law carried Dulce to his room. Both of them were asleep, so we moved quietly.
Once in our room, I closed the door with the heel of my foot. I had to shower to get the blood off of me, but I didn’t want to let her out of my sight.
I felt bad to wake her up but fuck, I wasn’t stable enough to be without her anymore. I’m going to follow her everywhere for a while, at least until I feel like I can start to let go a little. Whether she’d like it or not, I really didn’t care.
I tried to lay her on the bed but when our chests came apart she grabbed onto my shoulders, opening her eyes wide. They were warm and piercing through me.
I laid her down lowering my body to hover over her. “Baby, I have to take a shower I…”
“I’m coming with you,” she interrupted me as she looked at me with begging eyes.
I smiled at her. “I know baby.”
I grabbed her top, flipping it up and taking her sports bra off along with it. I unbuttoned her shorts, pulling down her panties along with them.
She kicked her sneakers off and I laughed as I pulled her ankle socks off. She had the shortest and cutest toes I’ve ever seen. She tried kicking me in the crotch but I blocked her. She reached for my shirt, removing it in one clean sweep as I dropped my pants and briefs.
I kicked my Jordan’s and socks off to free my ankles of my clothing. She sat up on her knees, looking over my body. She was amazing and couldn’t wait to get me inside her, but I needed a shower. I grabbed her by the ribs and hoisted her over my shoulder.
The crazy girl slapped me on the ass and I returned the love except my slap stung!
Chapter Forty
Lawrence
I placed Blue on my bed, separating her hands from my shirt. I’ve never seen anything in my life that tortured me more than what she just went through. I was fine and I knew Ocean could handle an asshole with a gun, but I was concerned about Blue. Her world came crashing down on her and still she was worried about me.
The past three weeks I was making progress with her. I got less eye rolls and more smiles along with less insults and more hugs during my visits.
I removed her Nike high tops and her socks. Her toes were painted blue and I was starting to think she was wearing more blue because of her nickname. I placed her feet down, careful not to wake her and made my way to the shower.
Closing the door behind me, I braced my hands on the sink closing my eyes. The shit she went through was serious and it was killing me that I couldn’t do anything about it. I was too late. I wasn’t there. I don’t care if we didn’t know each other, I wanted to be there and someone should have been there to save her.
A frantic banging on my door startled me.
If it was, Ocean I was going to kill him!
I grabbed the door handle, pulling it open ready to yell at him, but it wasn’t Ocean I saw.
Blue was standing in front me with her arms wrapped around her as tears ran down her face.
I pulled her into the bathroom and into my arms as she continued to cry against my chest.
When she pulled away, she wiped her tears. “I’m sorry—I have to get you cleaned up.” She looked around the bathroom, searching for something.
“No, Blue you don’t have to do anything. Just stay here with me and I’ll take care of the rest.”
She shook her head, refusing to listen. “I have to clean you up,” she said again. She looked like she was acting out a memory, like her body was here with me but her mind was stuck somewhere else.
She kept looking at the dried blood on me and my eyes rested on her neck were her scar was. She let go of me walking over to my shower turning on the hot water. She grabbed my hand without looking at my face and I let her lead me.
In front of the glass shower, she unbuckled my pants pulling them down. She didn’t even let me kick them off, instead, she reached for each leg tugging them off for me then taking off my socks.
I was in shock more than anything that she was doing this. I mean, I was naked and it didn’t even bother her. She pushed me into the shower and I stepped in willingly.
I turned to face her, grabbing her hand. I think this move brought her out of her autopilot mode because when she blinked, reality was setting in and she realized what she was doing. Her eyes ran the entire length of my body and when she passed my cock, which was misbehaving, she pulled in her bottom lip sucking on it hard.
Finally, a reaction I was familiar with. She tugged her hand back but I wouldn’t let go.
“Come on Blue, you’re hurting my feelings. I can’t let my baby strip me down without letting me return the favor.”
She nodded and when I let her hand go, she went to remove her shirt but I stopped her.
“No Blue, that’s my job. You’ll learn this soon enough but you come above all, that includes me. Let me do it.”
I reached for her again, pulling her fully clothed body into the warm shower. She braced her hands on my shoulders as I stripped her down.
When I was done flinging her clothes over the top of the shower to the floor, I put her under the rainwater spout letting the water run down her body. A body that was about ready to have me on my knees giving her anything she would ask of me.
Anything!
I pulled her hair back, washing it, running my fingers through its length, and massaging her scalp. Her hands found my chest as she stood still while my soapy hands roamed all over her sexy body.
When she finally opened her eyes to look up at me, they were darker than her usual light brown almost grey color. She stepped closer to me letting her breasts rest against my stomach since she was really short. I picked her up to my level by her hips. She wrapped her legs around my waist and arms around my neck.
I bent her head back again to run my thumb along her scar and she shook in my arms. I turned the water on a hotter setting for her.
“Can I kiss you Dulce?”
She looked me in the eyes.
“It’s Blue.” she said with a smile as she pulled my head down to kiss her.

Ocean
I looked at Liv’s body from behind as she frantically washed her hair. I pulled her ass into me.
“You got somewhere to go baby?”
She giggled as I poked her ass with my growing dick. “No, but the pool bo…”
I spun her around pulling her into me, hard. “I swear if you say what I think you’re getting ready to say, you’ll be riding in a wheelchair for a month baby. I can make it happen.”
I pushed my dick down in between her legs. She narrowed her eyes at me and everything felt like déjà vu, like she never left me.
“Fine!” she said, pushing me back as she washed out her hair.
I should have been taking a shower, but I was too busy watching the water running down her body. I was a sick bastard because I was getting jealous. I reached around her and shut off the water.
I expected her to be pissed but she jumped up and down, practically running out of the shower, closing the door behind her. I followed close behind her trying to figure out what the hell she was up to.
When I opened the bathroom door, I was grabbed by a crazy looking Liv and flung onto the bed. She was still dripping wet from the shower and so was I. The look on her face told me she was looking for trouble.
“You can’t wait, can you baby? You want me inside you that bad?”
&nbs
p; “Well since your cock blocking the p-o-o-o-o-l boy-y-y, I have to settle!”
Her eyes ravaged me over and over as she crept her way towards me. I sat up when Liv rushed over to me, pushing down on my shoulders, HARD.
My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. If she wanted to do what I think she wanted to do, it was going to hurt. She could barely take me when I had her on her back. Her riding me after not having sex for so long was not a wise choice.
“Baby, come on. Let me warm you up first.” I licked my lips.
She wagged her finger at me. So I caved. I scooted up the bed resting my head on a pillow. I placed my left hand behind my head completely relaxed as my right hand grabbed the base of my cock. Liv was two seconds away from combusting.
“Scared?”
She dropped her hands from her hips and climbed on the bed, running her tongue along her lips and tightening her abs. As she moved over me, she lowered herself so that her hair, lips, breasts, and stomach each danced over my tip. When her pussy was finally resting on top of me I let go, letting her take the reins.
Looking at her now she looked so different to me. It was still the same Liv, but something about her was bolder and stronger. She lowered her lips to kiss me as her opening teased me and I couldn’t help but push forward with my hips.
Only I pushed too far too fast; she braced her hands on my chest as her face turned red and she bit the side of her lip.
I sat up on my elbows. “Shit baby. I’m sorry.”
That got me a slap on the chest. “I won’t break Ocean, I can handle you!”
“Okay baby.” I retreated, reaching for her hips with both hands holding onto them.
I sat up half way using my elbows to separate her knees opening up her hips. I looked her in the eyes as I lifted her repositioning her on my tip.
“You ready baby?”
“Yes, Ocean,” she said breathless.
I leaned back as I slowly slid her down. She grabbed onto my shoulders cursing my name and I couldn’t help but smile. Hearing her curse and watching her face turn red from pain because of me was taunting my ego. I wanted her to take me in slowly but my primal side overruled.
Tightening my grip on her hips, I jammed her down on me. I watched as her mouth fell open. No sound came out, just the huffing of her breathing. One of her hands flew to her belly as her muscles tried to adjust to me.
