ANGEL'S WRATH by SK (SIN CITY HEAT)

by S K

  Angel stepped closer to her, his body cradling hers. Leaning down and putting his lips to her ear, he whispered, “Do you think I enjoy not being able to get the sweet taste of you off my tongue, not being able to forget how hot and warm your mouth felt wrapped around my…”

  “Stop!” she screamed. Her tenuous hold on whatever self-control she thought she had slipped away. She turned and threw her arms around his neck, pulling him to her, desperately kissing him. Angel wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tight. It was hard to know who was ravishing whom.

  His arms still around her waist, Angel carried her to the large couch by the wall and set her feet on the floor. He ripped her blouse open, sending buttons flying everywhere then made short work of removing her bra. Nikki lifted his shirt and pulled it over his head, anxious to feel his body against hers. When Angel pulled her against him, both moaned as his chest rubbed against her sensitive nipples.

  “Angel, please…” Nikki was trembling like a leaf.

  “I got you, baby. I got you.”

  Kissing his way to her breasts, he continued down to her stomach and pulled her skirt and panties down. He wanted to take his time, but he couldn’t and she didn’t want him to. He pushed her to the couch and covered her body with his. This time he didn’t have to tell her what he wanted to hear.

  “I want you, Angel. I need you so bad.” Angel groaned as he stood up and took his pants off. Nikki reached out to grab his manhood in her hand and stroked it as he stood over her.

  “Nikki…” Angel's voice was hoarse with need.

  Nikki looked up at him from her position on the couch. He may not have been aware of the emotions reflected in his eyes, but she saw it, and in that moment, Nikki knew she had as much power over him as he had over her.

  “Just a taste…” she whispered as she licked the length of him in one delicious swipe.

  Angel placed one hand on the back of the couch and curled the other in her hair as he slowly pushed himself in and out of her mouth. “Yessss…" He hissed. "You're driving me crazy."

  Angel swallowed hard as Nikki inhaled him while stroking every inch of his shaft with her lips and hand. He pushed a few more times before carefully withdrawing from her mouth.

  Nikki whined as she tried to wrap her lips around him again. “I want more.”

  “Later, baby. I promise you.” Angel stared intently at her letting her know they would definitely get to that while sheathing himself in a condom. After positioning himself between her legs, he slowly pushed at her entrance, inserting the head of his dick and keeping the thrusts slow and deliberate.

  "I can't believe how wet you are," Angel whispered.

  Nikki clenched her inner muscles to try and grab hold of him. “Don’t tease me. Fuck me, Angel,” she pleaded.

  "Mmmm..." Angel almost lost it. He gave her everything, stroking several times before withdrawing again and fucking her with the head. Nikki went wild, mumbling his name and scratching his back. She rocked against him, circling her hips on the down stroke.

  Clenching his teeth, Angel quickened his pace, having no doubt that her pussy was making love to his dick while the two of them just happened to be along for the ride. "Tell me what you want, Nik."

  She inhaled swiftly when he touched her spot. “Angel, right there!! Oh, right there…don’t stop…please!”

  “I’m not gonna stop, baby…“ He felt her inner walls begin to tremble around his dick. “That’s right, baby. Take it. Cum for me.”

  Nikki grabbed his hips and held on tight as she moved against him, her cream flowing like a thick river. Angel circled his pelvis against her clit, intensifying her orgasm. When he felt her contractions, it sent him over the edge right along with her.

  Later, as they lay side by side on the couch with their arms around each other, Nikki told Angel about the information Jaxon had on him, and how he’d threatened to send him to jail if she didn’t stay away from him.

  Angel pulled her closer to him and kissed the top of her head.

  “Don’t worry, Nikki. It’s taken care of.”

  She leaned up to look down at him, a question on her face. For the first time in his adult life, Angel put his trust in another person other than Oscar and Dominick and began telling her everything…

  As a child, he'd never given the color thing much thought unless someone brought it up. His father was Puerto Rican and black and his mother an ebony skinned West Indian. Whenever he asked his parents why his skin was so much lighter than theirs, they would tell him he took after his mother's father, who was indeed a light complexioned West Indian. That answer still didn't quite satisfy him, though. Dominick, his baby brother, wasn’t light like him, but after a while, he just shrugged it off. As far as he was concerned, he, his mother and father, and his little brother were just a normal family.

  He remembered the night that all changed.

  Angel and Dominick were supposed to be in bed, but Angel got up to get a glass of water. He peeped around the door to make sure the coast was clear then tiptoed to the kitchen. His parent's bedroom door was open when he came back; Angel paused when he heard their voices. How was he supposed to make it past their bedroom without being seen? Deciding to wait them out for a little while, he stood by the door and listened.

  “Nora, I said no, and I mean it. I don’t want a cent from that bastard.” Angel heard his father’s angry, harsh tone and frowned. Why was he so mad at his mother?

  “But Arthur, we could use the money, and it’s not like he can’t afford to support his son…”

  “He’s not his son! Don’t you ever say that!”

  “Arthur, please, you’ll wake the children. You know I didn’t mean it like that. Of course you’re his father. You’ve raised him since he was a baby. You’re the only father he’s ever known.”

  “And it'll stay that way. I don’t ever want Angelo to know he’s the result of an affair between you and that white man!”

  Angel inhaled swiftly when he heard what his father just said. Did he mean…

  “Arthur, please. It was a mistake. I’ve told you that over and over again. Are you ever going to forgive me? It’s been almost eleven years.”

  Arthur looked at her, then sat on the bed to take his shoes off. “Of course I've forgiven you, Nora, but you start making him support Angel, then the next thing you know, he’ll want to play Daddy. No. I don’t want him anywhere near this family.”

  “That's one thing we don't have to worry about. Bradley Davidson would never let his white, aristocratic family know of his unspeakable indiscretion that resulted in a child with a black woman.” Nora sighed. “You’re right, Arthur. It’s best to keep things as they are. I never want Angelo to know you’re not his father.”

  Angel backed away as his mother’s words confirmed what his young mind was trying to deny. Daddy wasn’t his real father? Some man named...Bradley Davidson was? Angel dropped the glass he was holding. Even now, he could still hear the piercing sound of it as it shattered on the floor...

  Nikki shook her head in disbelief when he finished. “You have to know your father loved you, Angel. And by your father I mean the man who raised you.”

  Angel took a shaky breath. “I know he did. And I loved him. I’ll always regret that I never had a chance to tell him or my mother just how much.”

  “They knew, baby.”

  Angel stared at her for a long time. “You think so?”

  Nikki nodded. “I know so."

  Angel stared up at the ceiling. Things were never the same between him and his parents after that. Angel became a different person, inside and out. His parents tried to talk to him and reassure him nothing had changed...but it had. Everything he'd ever known and believed had been a lie; he felt as if his parents had betrayed him, and could barely look at them after that.

  After a while, he started skipping school, hanging out, and getting into things that eventually took him down the wrong path. His parents felt they'd done all they could, and when his activ
ities turned illegal, they washed their hands of him. The only person Angel allowed himself to care about was his little brother, Dominick. He would die for Dom, and vice versa.

  "Angel?"

  Bringing his thoughts back from the past, he looked at Nikki. "Yes?"

  "You said you had everything taken care of. What did you mean by that?" When he was quiet for a long time, Nikki placed her hand tenderly along the side of his face. "You can trust me. I promise."

  The muscles in Angel's jaw jumped beneath her hand. It surprised him he'd shared so much with her already. Other than Oscar, no one knew the truth about who his real father was, not even Dominick. It hit him out of nowhere that he did trust her. Maybe it was because she knew him before things spun so horribly out of control. She represented a place and time when things were the way they were supposed to be in life.

  He curled his hand around hers and brought it to his mouth. Kissing her fingers, he leaned down and touched her lips with his then revealed the rest of the story.

  Chapter 11

  Angel and Nikki were relaxing in his condo the night before DWC was to transfer the stock to Angel’s name. It had been a week since Angel told Nikki everything about his past and what his plans were.

  Nikki now realized what she’d found so eerily familiar in Jaxon’s face in the emergency room. She didn’t know how she’d missed the resemblance before. Jaxon and Angel were brothers...half-brothers. The anger she'd seen in Jaxon's face was almost identical to Angel’s when he was mad. But even more than that, it was the eyes. He and Angel, and even Brad Sr. had the same color eyes, just slightly different shades. Where Angel’s were a combination of light brown and green, the other two men’s were more greenish with brown specks, but when all three got upset, their eyes slowly changed, becoming cool and threatening.

  Angel stretched out on the sofa with his head in Nikki’s lap and looked up at her as she smoothed a hand over his hair. “Are you sure you want to be there tomorrow? It’s going to get ugly.”

  “I’m sure,” Nikki answered. “I want my life back, and I won’t be able to get it until that bastard is brought down.” Nikki had taken a month’s leave from her job. Her secretary told her that Jaxon hadn’t been happy when he’d found out.

  “One more day, baby. I promise.” Angel reached up and pulled her head down to his, kissing her softly. The kiss slowly deepened as Nikki slipped her hand under his shirt, caressing his hard stomach and chest. She couldn’t get enough of him. They had made love the entire week, and it still wasn’t enough. Just as her hand went to unsnap his jeans, Angel’s cell phone rang.

  “Ignore it.” Nikki groaned, teasing his tongue with hers, trying to entice him to continue their love play.

  “Mmmm,” Angel moaned as he nipped at her soft lips. “I can’t. It might be Matt. He said he would call me back. I need to make sure everything goes smoothly tomorrow.” Giving her a quick kiss he sat up and answered the phone.

  As he suspected, it was Matt with a couple of last minute details he wanted to go over. “Hold on.” He gave Nikki a kiss then stood up. “Baby, this is going to take a while. I’m going into my office so that I have access to my computer. We’ll pick up where we left off when I finish,” he smiled.

  Nikki pouted a little bit but nodded. “Okay. I guess I’ll go and take a bath. Make sure you wake me when you come to bed.” Nikki gave him a suggestive look before she walked out of the room. Angel’s eyes were hot as he watched the sway of her hips until she was out of his sight.

  “Mmph. Most definitely,” he whispered to himself. He brought the phone back to his ear and walked to his office. Matt was aware that Jaxon was going to try to get out of transferring the stock to NaDa Holdings and they were fully prepared.

  After about an hour, he hung up and sat back in his chair with a thoughtful expression on his face. Everything seemed to be in line for tomorrow. Jaxon had made no attempt to try and cancel the meetings. Angel smiled. Apparently, he wanted to have the satisfaction of telling Angel personally that he had information about him. Angel would let him have his fun, then finish the ass whipping he’d started a couple of weeks ago. This time he wouldn’t use his fists. It would be mental, a blow so devastating, no doctor would be able to treat it.

  The smile fell from his face as he thought about the other pressing matter at hand. Yes, things were going perfect businesswise, but he needed to get his own house in order, mainly the women who lived with him because he planned on being with Nikki. That decision was already made, and he didn’t want anything to cause a problem between them so he’d been slowly and quietly setting the women up in new lives. They would be very comfortable for a long time until they decided where they wanted to go from here. Everything was developing smoothly…except for Carmen. Carmen refused to accept that things were changing. Angel really hadn’t had the time to deal with her and her stubbornness, but that would be the first order of business after tomorrow.

  He stood up, intent on waking Nikki as he’d promised. He already knew he wouldn’t get any sleep tonight. Smiling to himself, he was going to try not to keep her up…too late. However, once they started making love, it always continued to the point of exhaustion before they called it quits. His tigress was proving to be as sexually demanding as he was. Angel was just reaching over to turn the lamp in his office off when the phone rang again. He answered, thinking it was Matt.

  “Talk to me.”

  “Angel, it’s Dominick.”

  Angel smiled when he heard his brother’s voice. They had spoken earlier today and made plans for Dominick to go with him to DWC tomorrow. Angel had finally told him everything, who his real father was, the reasons he had changed so drastically all of sudden when they were younger, and how he'd chosen to deal with it. Upon hearing the full story, Dominick had gone through a range of emotions, from shock, to anger, and finally wanting revenge, the same as Angel. He was more than willing to stand by his side.

  Curious, Angel asked him if he'd ever questioned the differences in their looks. Dominick told him that he honestly hadn't. Growing up, both brothers had seen pictures of their mother's family in the islands, and many were close to Angel's complexion so it hadn't been strange at all to him. The two of them having different fathers meant nothing to Dom. It didn't change the fact that Angel was his brother and he loved him just the same.

  “What’s up, little brother?”

  “Nothing much. Too wired up to sleep, I guess.”

  “Yeah. I just got off the phone with Matt. You still coming tomorrow, huh?”

  “You jokin' right? Short of death, nothing is keepin' me away from confronting those bastards with you.”

  “Good. How's Keisha? Is the pregnancy going well?”

  Angel didn't have to be in the same room with Dominick to know he had a shit eating grin on his face. "Yeah, she's great. Beautiful, actually. She says she loves being pregnant. Hell, I love the benefits of her being pregnant," Dom laughed. He and Keisha had damn near insatiable appetites to begin with, but now, her sexual hunger had gone into overdrive.

  Angel chuckled softly. "Tell my sister-in-law I said hello. And how's my little niece?"

  "Samantha's fine. Angel, she's growing so fast. Keisha's been so good for her. Things are great since Justine agreed to let her live with us."

  "That's good, Dom. You're very lucky to have such a great family."

  Dominick hesitated for a moment before saying what was on his mind. "Angel, I know we've had this conversation before and you always blow me off, but you can have that too. Yes, I understand things a little better now that you've told me the whole story, but that doesn’t have to define the rest of your life. My family is your family. You can't tell me you don't want to settle down one day, have lil 'Angels and Angelettes' runnin' around," Dom teased.

  Angel forced a smile in his voice. "You tellin' me Keisha's going to let you name the baby 'Dominickette' if it's a girl?"

  "And what's wrong with that?" Dominick tried to sound insulted, but even
he had to laugh at the sound of the name. "Anyway, that's not what we were talkin' about. I ain't lettin' you change the subject."

  Angel leaned back in the chair, silent as he thought about Nikki. Things had changed significantly in his life. He was the first to admit he hadn’t seen it coming. Thoughts of settling down with one woman, a family in his future...unbelievable.

  "Angel?"

  Angel redirected his attention back to Dominick. "Let's just say you might be closer on mark than you think." Dominick was rendered speechless. Angel had to smile to himself because that didn't happen very often. "Still there, lil brother?"

  "Uh, yeah. Wait. Are you saying that you..." Dom had to take a second to get his thoughts together because to say Angel had thrown him for a loop with that response was an understatement. "You've met somebody special?"

  "Yeah. My woman is very special." Dominick raised a brow at the possessive tone. "Actually, you know her from our old neighborhood. She's closer to your age than mine, grew up not too far away from Ma and Pops house."

  "I know her? From the neighborhood?" Dominick repeated as he searched his mind, still coming up blank. Angel really had him floored now. "Who?"

  Angel laughed quietly, hearing the blatant curiosity in his brother's voice. "You remember Nicole Randolph? Her family lived several houses down."

  Dominick's mind worked furiously. The name was familiar, but...

  "Wait. Weren't you friends with her brother? What was his name, Jake, Jacob...?”

  "Jacoby. Jacoby Randolph, yeah we were friends."

  "That's right, Jacoby! He got killed some time back."

  "Yeah." Jacoby had always been careless and talked about his business too much. Angel tried to tell him about it, but Jacoby was one of those people who thought they knew everything and was always right. One day, he spouted off to the wrong one and was killed on the spot.

  "I remember now. Nikki, right?" Dom paused as he put two and two together. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Are you telling me you...and Nikki...? Git tha fuck outta here!"
