I pull her long blonde hair out from under her head and let it splay out over the white pillowcase. The sun makes golden streaks in it and I whisper as I kiss her ear, “I want you.”
Her nails rake across my back as her knees go up higher. “You have me.”
One of her heels moves to the small of my back and she uses the leverage to move her body up to mine with each stroke I make. I kiss along her neck to the other side and nip her earlobe, making her purr. “I need you.”
She moans, “You have me.”
Raising my upper body, a bit, I look at her again and find her looking back at me with love in her eyes. “Tell me you’ll be mine forever.”
She smiles and my heart skips a beat. “I will be yours forever.”
I smile back and lean back down so I can feel all of her underneath me. Her body molds to mine as we both work our bodies to find the pleasure that lies within us both. Our hearts pound against the others.
Moving faster, a thin layer of moisture springs up between us, making our bodies glide along the others. Her moans grow into a continuous sound and I find my cock being squeezed by her canal.
Her breathing gets harder and it sends me into a frenzy to join her in the moment. I move faster and harder until I feel it welling up inside of me. I wait for her to completely climax then I let myself go and we both make horrible groans that fill me with joy.
She and I are something together. She’s made me so much more than I ever was before her and I’ll never be the same since she came into my life. I know it’s getting close to the time to ask her to really be mine forever, in name.
Laying still on top of her as our bodies slow their movements, I lean up on one arm and ask, “Isn’t life so much sweeter with someone to share it with?”
She nods. “It is so much sweeter sharing it with you.”
I run my hand over her shining forehead. “I made you sweat and your heart rate increase for ten minutes. That’s considered cardio. So we got that in today.”
“So you can go easy on me when you work me out later?” she asks with a smile.
“No way,” I say as I tweak her nose. “Tonight I plan on really revving you up. So make sure you eat a lot of protein at dinner tonight. I think after our meeting with the real estate agent, you and I should go out for a little dinner at a very expensive restaurant in town. You know, to celebrate the first step of our venture together.”
She sighs and I see a little bit of inner conflict then she says, “I think that would be very nice. I also want to run this by you. The kids really like their babysitter, Becky. So how about if I send the car for her and have her stay here for the night to take care of them so I can focus on taking care of you? All night long.”
“Oh, baby, now you’re getting it. That’s exactly what I want. You take care of me, I take care of you. It makes for one happy family.”
Finally, we’re on the same page!
Chapter 7
MERCY
For the first time in my life, everything is falling into place. I’ve found the perfect man and he’s brought so much more to my life than I knew was possible.
The place we looked at is perfect to turn into a fitness center and dinner was perfect too. Now we’re going back into our bedroom and I’m feeling like I’m drifting on a cloud or something. Life feels surreal to me right now.
Coming home after eating at a five-star restaurant with a gorgeous man, to a mansion in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in this town is not a thing I saw in my future. And now I can look forward to plenty of days of living like this.
As we get into our bedroom, I find the staff has placed a bottle of red wine on the small table in our room and a couple of glasses to drink it out of. “The way the people who take care of this house do things is remarkable,” I say as I drop my purse on the chair near the bed.
Slipping off my high heels, I take a seat on the bed as Jude pours us some wine. The day was eventful yet I feel so relaxed. Jude hands me a glass and taps his to mine. “To the start of a great thing.”
I nod in agreement. “To new beginnings.”
He nods and we drink then he takes the glass out of my hand and sets them both down on the nightstand. He pushes me back gently and pulls my panties off, leaving my dress on.
His smile is crooked as he turns me over on my stomach and pulls me back to get on my hands and knees. Pushing my dress up to uncover my bare ass, he moves his hands over it, caressing it with slow movements that have my entire body tingling.
Warm, moist lips touch one cheek as one of his hands move around me to take my clit between his thumb and forefinger. With a gentle rolling motion, he sends a heat through me that has me gasping, “Jude!”
“Shh,” he shushes me.
I get quiet as he moves his fingers over me with deft precision. My body is aching to feel him but I can see he plans on toying with me for a while. I finally feel completely at ease having sex with him now that I took two tests. One pregnancy test that came back negative and one test to see if I was ovulating and I am not. So pregnancy is a non-issue at this time and I can feel free to experience sex with him without worry.
Next week, I’m going to get on the pill or some kind of real birth control but for now, I don’t have to do a thing but enjoy what he does to me.
And I am enjoying it, immensely!
His fingers are doing some major good on me and my body is shaking as the wave rises up inside of me. Two of his fingers find their way inside of me just as the wave crashes and he moans as his fingers come back wet and he runs them over my folds as he draws them back.
I hear his pants unzip then feel his cock pressing against me as he pulls me back by my waist. He thrusts in hard and makes a few strokes as he groans, “God, you feel amazing.”
Falling to my elbows to allow him to go in deeper, he groans again and moves into me harder. Our bodies slamming, fills the room along with his grunts and my little moans as he’s taking my body to Heaven.
He goes on and on, making my orgasm continue. My legs are shaking and my body is going crazy then he’s leaning over me and biting my back, sending me way over the edge and I scream with a new wave of complete pleasure, “Jude!”
A low grunt comes from him and heat fills me. Then he pulls out and tosses me onto my back. Stripping his clothes off quickly, I start to sit up and pull my dress off but he says with a stern tone, “No.”
I lay back and wait to see what he wants. Once he’s undressed, he picks me up and walks back to sit on a chair and makes me straddle him as he slides his still hard dick into me. My dress falls over us, covering us as he holds me by the waist, lifting me to move up and down his long length.
Our breaths mingle in the air between us as we both huff and puff. He stops for a moment, leaving me still on him as he unbuttons the top buttons of my dress and reaches in and pulls both of my breasts out of my bra. He smiles as he looks at them and puts his hands back on my waist and begins lifting me up and down again.
“Better?” I ask with a smile.
He nods and watches them bounce up and down with my movements. I run my arms around him and make sure one of my breasts gets to his mouth where he eagerly pulls it in and sucks it hard and wanting.
It takes my breath away as he pulls on it hard and sends a sensation to a place deep inside of me. I’m panting like a puppy who’s just run a mile as he goes stiff inside of me and bites down on my boob as he comes again and it makes my body quiver with another orgasm.
Just as I think that’s it, he gets up and carries me to the bed. We’re both short of breath and he cocks his head to one side. “Strip.”
I hurry to do that and find him climbing onto the bed and his dick is still miraculously hard. “More?” I ask with surprise.
“More,” he says as he takes my dress and tosses it away then my bra too.
His hand runs along the back of my left leg, pulling it up until my knee is beside my head. He pushes himself into me again and starts pumpin
g away. I cannot believe his stamina.
But with all those muscles, I can definitely see how he can keep on going like he is. Now if I can stay up with him remains to be seen.
But a girl can try!
Chapter 8
JUDE
Mercy took the kids and went on a shopping spree with one of my credit cards but she told me I couldn’t go because it would make her too apprehensive with me there. So I’m taking the day to hang out with my younger brothers.
A little bar-b-queuing at the mansion Mercy and I are renting and some poolside brotherly fun are filling up this sunny Sunday afternoon. “She’s the one,” I shout as I do a backflip off the diving board.
When I come up, I see Zeek and Ram and they’re staring at me with their mouths hanging open. Zeek’s the first to say, “Are you okay, bro? We thought we heard you say something a little insane, even for you.”
“What?” I ask as I haul myself up out of the water to sit on the side of the pool. You mean about Mercy being the one?”
They nod and look at me with confusion riddled faces. Then Ram says, “You barely know her, Jude. You can’t know if she’s the one yet.”
“But I do know it. And she’s by far the best trophy I’ve ever brought home.” I get up and go sit on one of the chairs after grabbing a beer out of the ice chest Zeek brought that’s full of it. The guys join me, getting beers for themselves and taking seats on either side of me.
We all lie back and take drinks of the cold beers and let out simultaneous sighs. “What do you mean by trophy, Jude?” Ram asks.
“I mean, I put my sights on the woman, hunted her down, using my tried and true techniques and brought home the trophy. She didn’t stand a chance really. Not once I decided she was my prey. Once I’ve made my quarry, there’s really no getting away from me. I did have to use nearly every trap in the book, but I have her where I want her now.”
Zeek holds out his beer as he gestures to the house. “Setting her up in this place was a true piece of genius, I have to say. When you want to bring that prey in, setting up an attractive trap is the perfect answer.”
Ram laughs then says, “And acting like you accept their pack is pretty smart too. The way to a woman’s heart is through her kids, they say. Smart move on making the kids your best friends, bro.”
We all clank our glass bottles together and I say, “To the capture of a beautiful woman who will fill my bed every night and become the perfect trophy to mount in my home.”
Ram cracks up and says through his laughter-ridden words, “And mount her you will!”
We all laugh and clank our bottles together again as I say, “That I will, over and over again!”
MERCY
My heart has stopped.
I came to the back door to let Jude know I was back from shopping. I had Becky take the kids up to their rooms to help them put away the clothes. When I got to the room just off the patio I could hear them all talking.
The beer has them boisterous and loud. I heard Jude say he’d hunted me. I heard him say he used the kids to get to me. I heard it all and I can’t believe it.
Spinning on my heel, I hurry upstairs to stop the kids from putting all those clothes away. We won’t be keeping them!
My body’s shaking as I run up the stairs. As I get to the room that Carter is staying in, I see Becky and the kids are in there. “Hey, guys. Come on, we need to go. I forgot something.”
I try to steady my words but my face has to be flushed as it’s hot and I know I have to be exhibiting some signs of being upset. Because I can’t recall feeling exactly this way before. Not even with the death of my family.
I suppose I feel betrayed, or used, or something. I’m not sure. I just know I feel terrible and it has encompassed my entire body as I fly back down the stairs. At least I have my own car. I picked up the Suburban the other day so I can take it and get the hell out of here.
Everything we have here was given to us by Jude as traps to bring us in and make us his or some shit. I have no idea why he’d do such a thing.
And the worst thing of all is he used the kids to get to me!
How could he be so evil and deceitful? How could I have let my guard down?
His handsomeness, the killer body, that southern charm, his tons of money. It’s all too much. And I fell for him, hook, line, and sinker!
I grab up Mia and put her in her car seat as Becky puts Carter in his. “Hurry, Becky. We have to hurry,” I tell her.
She gives me an odd look but does as I’ve said. “Is everything okay?” she asks.
“Sure,” I say. “No problems. I just have to get somewhere. I forgot about. We made this plan last night. I just forgot. No big deal. No big deal at all.”
“Where are we going, Aunt Mercy?” Carter asks as I slide into the driver’s seat and start the car up.
“To our house where I used to live. We’re going to stay there. Jude’s got things he needs to do.”
I pull away from the house and just as I do, I see Jude open the front door and make a, ‘what’s up’ gesture.
I roll the window down and shoot the finger at him and keep driving. My phone rings and I see it’s him. I do want him to know so I answer the phone. “I heard every word you said. Your prey? Your quarry? I can’t believe you, Jude Hurst!” I end the call and look in my rearview mirror at the man I will never see again.
Not ever!

JUDE
“I heard every word you said. Your prey? Your quarry? I can’t believe you, Jude Hurst!”
“What?” I ask. But she just drives away as she ends the call like that’s it for us.
Hell, no!
I call her back but she sends me straight to voicemail. So I take off, heading for the garage to get my car and follow the crazy woman. I don’t know why she’d take offense at anything I said.
Grabbing the keys off their place on the wall, I get into my Jag and haul ass after her. She doesn’t have but one place to go. The house she shared with her parents is it for her right now.
If she thinks I’m going to let her go just like that over some stupid words, she’s crazy!
My tires spin out as I put the car in reverse to leave the garage. Then I throw it in drive and peel out after her. She’s out of sight but I can easily catch up to her. As I get to the end of the long private road I still don’t see her but the black marks from her tires show me she went toward town.
So I go that way and step all the way on the gas pedal. Pushing the button on the steering wheel, I try to call her again. But she ignores the call.
I can’t believe her!
What was so bad about what I said? How could she just run off instead of talking to me like an adult? How can I get her to see reason?
The sun’s low in the sky and glaring into the windshield and I left my sunglasses by the pool. So I’m
having to squint to see out and finally I catch the back of her black Suburban.
I have the pedal to the floor already so I can’t go any faster but she’s got to be doing the same thing as she’s staying a constant distance away from me. I try to call her again and she answers this time. “Go back home, Jude! I see you back there. Leave us alone!”
Before I can say a word, she’s ended the call. She’s nuts if she thinks I’m just going to turn around and go back home. I didn’t do anything wrong!
If anyone did do something wrong, it was her. She shouldn’t be driving that fast with the kids in the car, anyway. So I pick up my phone and knowing she won’t let me talk, I text her. -Slow down! The kids!-
Her brake lights let me know she’s seen the text and is, at the very least, going to slow down. She has to stop at an intersection anyway and now I can catch up to her.
Just as I get close enough to stop and get out and get to her, she takes off across the intersection. I floor it to follow her and hear the sound of a loud horn. Pressing the gas to get out of the way of the truck I didn’t see, I make it across just in time.
My heart is pounding and I see her brake lights come on again and she’s pulling to the side of the road. Then I hear another horn, this one is louder and makes a deeper noise.
Oh shit!
MERCY
“Jesus!” I scream as I see it all through the rearview mirror. “God! No!”
I slam on the brakes to come to a full stop and throw the car in park and get out of the car, running as fast as I can. I can’t think as I run toward him.
The car is upside down on the other side of the road. The truck that hit him is jackknifed, blocking the traffic and the driver is coming out of it. “Damn, that car came out of nowhere!”
Just as I make it to Jude’s car, I can hear the hiss of hot metal being sprayed with liquid. “Do you smell gas?” I ask.
