Relinquish

by Sapphire Knight

  I feel her chest constrict trying to silence her moan. I suck strongly on the back of her neck and she gives in. She calls out loudly and I feel her pussy walls clamp tightly around my throbbing cock.

  Hearing the sexy rasp in her moan does me in. My cock throbs so desperately, begging for permission to release my cum inside her. I bite down leaving my mark on the crevice where her shoulder meets her neck. As I nibble and play with the skin making it a deep red, I release my thick, sticky cum inside her sweet, tight cunt.

  I lazily skim my hand down her throat to her waist and pull her down on the bed to lie beside me. She keeps her back to me as I play with her hair until I doze off into a restless nap. I’m so fuckin’ tired from being up all night, I can’t help but find comfort in the woman who owns my heart.

  Avery

  Wow. I didn’t see things ending up like that. I thought after hearing him in the office, things were done with. I’m so glad I waited before calling Niko this time. He would have freaked out and probably killed 2 Piece. I feel like an emotional, crazy woman with him all the time. I just wish he would be up front and tell me, hell, spell it out to me what he wants and feels for me. Right when we take a step forward it seems like we get thrown backwards. Like for example with what just happened. We had earth shattering sex; he said he was taking me as his. Was that literally, me being his now, or just in the moment?

  Ugh. I hate being this confused. I need to just buckle down and talk it over with him. We also need to talk about him being gone for so long. I was worried sick and he didn’t even call me. If we really are going to work and be a couple I need to set up some boundaries or guidelines or…something.

  “2?” I whisper. I don’t know why I’m whispering, but for some reason it feels wrong to break the comfortable silence we are sharing.

  Hmmm, I don’t get an answer. “Ummm, 2?” I say louder but again get no reply.

  What the hell. I peek over my shoulder and see him wearing the most peaceful, sweetest expression and he’s fast asleep. His lips are parted slightly and with each exhale his bottom lip trembles slightly. His face looks younger when he’s sleeping and not busy worrying or contemplating a million different things. He has beautiful long eyelashes that any woman would envy, but I’d never tell him that. He would think it’s too un-manly, when in reality it compliments his gorgeous eyes. His face is extra scruffy, but still as handsome as ever. I reach out and run the tips of my fingers lightly through his beard and over his cheekbones. He has a proud nose, and soft skin on his cheeks even though they are a little weathered from riding. The contrast of our skin stands out, as I take in his rich tan and my pale fingertips.

  I don’t even know his name. How can I be this crazy over someone whose real name I’m at a loss for? Staring at him in this moment, I know I’m done for. I’m crazy about him. He’s infuriating and confusing but also amazing and consuming. I feel like I’m being pulled in a thousand directions when it comes to him. Is it the right choice to stick around? I just heard all those hurtful things he said in the office but then he tells me he didn’t mean it like it sounded. Yet men say we women are the confusing ones.

  He doesn’t know it yet, but I do plan to keep him. When we are finally able to hash everything out, I hope he’s okay with that. I know we both like our freedom and not being tied to anything. I guess we are kind of like wanderers, but that has to mean we’re kindred spirits, right? I’m ready to relinquish my freedom and be free with him, together. I just pray he is ready to concede as well.

  There’s a light knock on the bedroom door and it stirs me out of my thoughts of my future with the man I care about. I glance at the door. That was a knock right? I chew on my lip and wait a few beats.

  Thunk. Thunk. Yep, definitely a knock. Damn it, I’m pretty comfy and don’t really feel like shifting from this position. I know if it’s Niko though, he will start beating on the door and 2 Piece obviously needs his rest. He must be tuckered out since he dozed off—without even a word—right after we were intimate. I crawl carefully out of bed, trying not to shake it too much or disturb him. Snatching up his shirt off the floor, I throw it on and make my way to answer the door.

  Only it’s not a big, burly, blond Russian waiting for me, it’s a tiny female version of 2 Piece. She’s gorgeous with blonde hair and sun-kissed cheeks. She props her hand on her hip and looks at me from the tips of my toes to the top of my head. Well, since she’s doing some inspecting, I return the favor and notice this little chica has a big round belly. Hmm, 2 hasn’t said anything about dear old sister being prego, so this could be awkward.

  “Hi,” I say quietly and offer up a small smile. She looks a little hesitant at first but then returns my smile.

  “Hi, is my brother in there?”

  “Yes, ma’am, he is asleep though. Is he expecting you?”

  “No, he didn’t know I was coming. I just made a quick decision and headed down.” She fidgets with her shirt and blushes a little.

  “You’re from Cali, right?”

  She smiles and nods. “He’s told you about me?” she asks, surprised.

  “Yes, but not a lot, he has a sister in Cali. I’m Avery, his, ummm…his friend,” I say nervously and stick my hand out like a dork. I can’t believe I’m meeting his family right now! I know besides the brothers, she’s his only family, so this is kind of a big deal. At least it’s a big deal to me. I hope one day he can meet my family. She giggles softly and shakes my hand. Great, she probably thinks I’m a goober.

  “You find him, baby?” Twist asks as he walks down the hall toward us. She gets a shy look and nods at him. Oh my, looks like Twist may have an admirer. 2 would probably slaughter Twist if he knew his sister was crushin’. He smirks down at her and for the first time I notice Twist has a dimple, he may have more but right now I can only see one. “Cool, how ‘bout you come take it easy, sugar pie. Don’t want you hurtin’ after such a drive.” He wraps his arm around her and she smiles up at him.

  “Okay, Avery, will you please tell my brother I’m here when he wakes? I tried calling him a couple of times during my trip down here, but he never answered.”

  “Sure, I definitely will. It was nice to meet you, umm…”

  “Oh yes, I’m Sadie,” she says, surprised that she forgot to say her name.

  “I thought so, just wasn’t completely sure.”

  She grins. “Yep, that’s me!”

  I watch as she and Twist walk toward the main room. Oh my god. That is going to be interesting. I’m going to keep my mouth shut over the little looks I just witnessed, don’t want to get in the middle of something that could be brewing. I turn back in to the room and shut the door. I might as well get dressed. I’m not tired and I’m sure Niko will be floating around here somewhere. I cover 2 up with the little blue fleece blanket from the end of the bed and head to the bathroom to take a shower.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  When I open the bathroom door, 2 Piece is sitting up in bed with his hair looking wild. It’s short, but it still gets a bedhead tussled look. I love when he has that just woken up, sleepy look on his face. He’s adorable and is always a little disoriented for a few minutes. It’s one of the very few times you ever get to witness him as vulnerable.

  “Hey, free bird,” he says, his voice raspy, and my insides clench from that deep, gruff sound.

  “Well, don’t you just look yummy! So did you sleep well? You looked so tired.”

  He chuckles and the timbre of his laugh makes me sigh in bliss. What is it about a man’s voice that can turn us to mush?

  “Yeah, I’m feelin’ better. Pussy. Sleep. Your fine ass. I’m perfect, Shorty. I do need to take a shower though.”

  “Okay, well we had a visitor probably forty or so minutes ago. Your sister, Sadie, is here. She asked me to tell you when you woke up.”

  “Sadie? Oh shit, was she okay?”

  “Yeah, she seemed okay, Twist was showing her around and talking to her while you were sleepi
ng.”

  “Alright, then let me shower real quick and maybe we can all grab some grub or sumthin’?”

  “Sure, sounds good.”

  I smile and he grins back at me as he walks into the bathroom. Well, at least he seems to be in a better mood now. I think I’m going to paint my toes pink while I wait for him to get done.

  A few minutes later he comes out with a billow of steam surrounding his stark naked ass. Reel yourself in, woman; do not jump him like you want to. He needs to see his sister and we need to have a serious discussion over absolutely everything, no getting distracted again by sex.

  He puts on his boxer briefs. Damn, is it possible for his ass to look even better in his underwear? He turns slightly as he bends to grab his jeans. Yep, definitely possible. He pulls on a pair of clean jeans, a plain white t-shirt and his cut. He catches me staring and clicks his tongue at me.

  “Later, Shorty, control yourself,” he says, grinning and shaking his head.

  “Whatever, you know you want to call Ares to come play,” I say saucily.

  His eyes widen with anticipation. “Fuckin’ right I do, but first I gotta see why Sades just showed up outta the blue.” I nod and put my nail polish back in my bag. “You ain’t gotta keep stuffin’ your shit in your suitcase, just leave it wherever you wanna,” he says and I look at him with a deer-in-the-headlights kind of stare. “It’s cool, Shorty, we will take it slow, ‘kay?”

  “Yeah, I wanted to discuss a few things with you.”

  “I know, but we will get to it later,” he says stubbornly and I have to grit my teeth to not argue with him. I understand he’s distracted by his sister, but he better not put me on the backburner now and use this as an excuse to not get this stuff situated. I nod and make my way out the door with him. I will not let this go, next time we are alone, we are talking.

  2 Piece

  Chapter 13

  Avery and I get to the main room and the first thing I hear Sadie is arguing with London. Her shrill voice when she gets angry could stand out to me in a crowd full of people. She’s a fuckin ball-buster and London’s a wild cat, shit could pop off in a split second. I have no idea what they could possibly be arguing about. Those two don’t even know each other. It has to stop quickly though, or Prez will be lookin’ to throw somebody out and I’m not wantin’ to brawl with Cain’s crazy ass over shit between my sister and his Ol’ Lady.

  We arrive to chaos. Cain is standing in front of London while Twist stands in front of Sadie. The girls scream back and forth at each other. London looks ready to murder my sister and Sadie just looks irritated.

  “Bitch, I will smoke your ass like grass!” London screams angrily.

  “Fuck you, crazy heifer, you’re psycho!”

  “I am fucking psycho, you pipsqueak! Don’t you forget it next time you look at my man!”

  “I was not looking at your man, for Christ’s sake, I was talking to Twist and you decided to flip out!”

  “Yeah, because you were staring at Cain, newsflash, bitch, he belongs to me!”

  “I wasn’t staring at him like that! I was staring because he looked familiar!”

  “Sure, that’s what all the whores say. I don’t care if you fucked him in the past, he is NOT interested!”

  “I never fucked him! He looks like my brother’s friend, you twat face!” my sister screeches. I have to stop this, it’s ridiculous.

  “Woah, woah, woah,” I say with my hands out in a calm down motion. I feel like I’m walking into a hornet’s nest.

  “London, this is my little sister, Sadie. She probably saw Cain when I first met him in Cali.”

  “I don’t care who she is, just stay the fuck away from my Ol’ Man.” She scowls and Cain chuckles jovially. He loves London getting all territorial, means they will go fuck like crazy afterwards. He once told me that’s when they have the best sex and he can talk her into trying to get knocked up.

  “Trust me, I’m fucking six months pregnant, I’m not looking to get another piece-of-shit man.”

  I’m sorry, what did she just say? I almost get whiplash from turning so quickly and trying to see her belly. It’s kind of like, if I can’t see it, then it can’t be real. How the fuck is she pregnant? Last time I was there I didn’t even see a man coming around at all. She has some serious explaining to do.

  “The fuck you say, Sadie?” I ask, flabbergasted.

  “You heard me, Silas, I’m having a baby,” she replies tartly and I hear Avery suck in a breath next to me. I glance at her quickly and see she looks pleasantly surprised. I have no idea why, but I’m sure she will be fillin’ me in later.

  “Sadie, how the fuck did you get pregnant?”

  I hear Cain chuckle then coax London to go to his club room. I knew it, the fucker’s gonna have her knocked up again by tomorrow.

  “I’d go with the old fashioned way; but do you want me to give you the details?”

  “Gross, Sades.” I turn back to Avery and point at her. “Don’t drink the water or whatever the fuck’s gettin’ people pregnant.”

  She holds her hands up and smiles. “No way, I’m very careful about that type of thing.”

  I roll my eyes at Sadie, I’m pretty pissed, but trying to stay calm. What can you do in this situation but show your support. She’s still my baby sister and I just wanna know who the little fucker is so I can go kill him.

  “Look, Silas, it’s done and there is nothing we can do about it. I didn’t come here for you to freak out on me, but because I needed to be around my family during all these changes.

  “I know, kid. You just sideswiped me on this shit. I mean, why didn’t you tell me sooner or sumthin’?” I ask and my anger starts to fade when I really take a good look at her. She looks so beat down and tired. I’ve never really seen my sister stressed out. She always takes everything with a grain of salt and rolls with whatever’s thrown at her. Right now she just looks frail with a big belly stickin’ out.

  “I was scared to tell you sooner. I wasn’t sure of what was happening and stuff.” She moves away from Twist and sits at the bar.

  He posts up next to her and I have to stop myself from growling at him. He did save my life in that barn and he did help keep my sister safe a few minutes ago. Sadie’s feisty but London could seriously hurt someone if she gets pissed enough. I think Cain’s been teaching her some techniques, not that she needed it in the first place. London’s like a princess around here with the brothers and it could make Sadie’s life harder if London doesn’t like her. We’ve never met the real club princess, Prez’s girl, not sure if we ever will. I sit on the other side of her and pull Avery to stand in between my legs so she can be a part of the conversation.

  “Sadie, this is my chick, Avery.” I nod toward Avery and she beams a bright smile at my sister.

  “Yeah, we met when I came to your room.”

  “That’s right, my bad. Oh well. So we thought maybe you’d wanna get some food. You hungry?”

  “Well, not really, Twist was kind enough to get me some food and a drink when I got here.” She fidgets as she says this and my eyes find Twist’s. He sits there gloating like a proud fucker, yet he knows I can’t get angry at him for making sure she was taken care of and fed. Damn it do I wanna though. Fucker’s cozyin’ right the fuck on up to my sister and she’s pregnant. What could he possibly get out of this with my sister and her kid?

  “Alright. So who’s responsible for knockin’ you up?” Might as well ask the question I really want to know. Looks like I may be making a run out to Cali to hunt down some ass clown that touched my sister but was too much of a pussy to come meet me himself.

  “Just some guy, it doesn’t matter.” She looks down and it pisses me off again. When the hell did she become so meek? It’s only been months since I saw her, what could possibly have happened in that short period of time?

  “Yes, Sadie, it fucking matters, give me a Goddamn name!”

  Her lip trembles slightly, “NO. Silas it doesn’t matter, he�
�s gone okay!” she says fiercely, bringing some color to her cheeks again.

  “What the hell do you mean, he’s gone? Where did he go?”

  “I mean he’s gone, he took off, he fucking left me, okay!”

  “No, it’s not okay, tell me his name and we will find him,” I tell her sternly, in full-on protective big brother mode. I will run this dude down and put a hurtin’ on him for messing with my sister. Her big blue eyes pool with tears and they stream down her cheeks when she blinks. She sniffles in a breath.

  “That’s just it. He’s gone. He doesn’t exist. He didn’t even give me his real God-forsaken name when we were seeing each other. I’ve searched. You don’t think I would look for him? It’s all I’ve been doing for months. Why do you think it took me so long to come to you? I was ashamed.”

  She sniffles abruptly, taking a deep breath. “I am ashamed, I’m embarrassed and I just don’t know what to do now. I’m scared, Silas, he’s gone and I’m left with this little baby all by myself. I can’t believe this happened to me. Why do they always leave, Silas? Am I so horrible, they all have to leave?” She starts to sob heavily and Twist pulls her into his chest to comfort her.

  He talks soothingly into her hair as he embraces her tightly. “Shush, sugar pie. It’ll all be okay, don’t you worry about a thing. You need to calm though, baby, it’s not good, you getting’ upset so much.”

  I look at her and my heart hurts so badly, it feels as if it could burst. This all stems back to my father. That piece of shit left and she has always blamed herself. I swear to god if I ever find this fuckwad, he will pay for doing this to her. I’ll let Twist hold her. She needs a man to be strong for her right now. I will be strong for her, but I know my brothers will help also. Twist chin lifts to me and I raise my eyebrows.
