“Victor, I was bored, he just came to sit and watch TV with me.”
“Whatever, Taliyah, I don’t care. I don’t want nobody in here with you.”
“You know what Victor, if you don’t trust me then I’m leaving,” I scowled at him and turned to go get dressed.
Victor reached for my arm and pulled me back to him. Before I could yell at him again, he crushed his lips against mine and started to squeeze the skin on my back. He pulled his shirt off and tossed me down on the bed. Victor started to peel the outfit off me before he removed the rest of his things as well.
He guided me back to the bed and laid me down on it as he climbed over me. His kisses were becoming more and more aggressive and demanding. My head buzzed with the overwhelming feel of his dominant the kisses.
Victor’s right hand cupped and squeezed my breast causing me to arch into him. He moved his lips to my neck and started a path of warm open mouthed kisses. He groaned in my ear and I shivered.
This was a different Victor than before. He was more aggressive this time. Not rough, just really passionate and determined. The way his large hands gripped my thighs to spread them, had me gasping out a moan.
My fingers locked into the sheets, trying to find an anchor. My skin felt hot all over. I whimpered loudly as his mouth latched around my other breast. I could feel my juices as they gushed between my legs, as Victor reached to skim his fingers over my folds.
He groaned and reached for my waist. I wasn’t ready for the surge of his hips as he entered me hard and fast. I cried out and wrapped my legs around him. Victor’s hips started to pound to the rhythm of my racing heart.
It was so intense, I panted and pulled at his hair. My body was reaching its peak instantly. He groaned in my ear and holding my waist extra tight.
“Whose is it?” he growled at me. I was so twisted in the thrusting and rolling of his hips, I would have told him anything he wanted to hear.
“Yours,” I moaned.
“Say my name,” he ordered as his hips really started to roll.
“Victor,” I panted.
“Louder.” He demanded as he stared into my eyes, as if he wanted confirmation to my words.
“Victor.” My head was spinning. I didn’t understand how the same person I’d been with before could make me feel so differently now. My pussy was throbbing around him, trying to chase his hard steel down as he moved in and out of my body. I gushed around him as he continued working my body just like he owned it.
“Louder, Taliyah.”
“Victor,” I screamed as loudly as I could. My heart shuddered in my chest as my orgasm clutched me deep. My body was responding to him for the second time building its way to the third.
“Tell me who’s is it.”
“It’s yours, Victor.”
It was insane how good he was making me feel. I didn’t know if I had lost my mind or not, but he felt so much deeper and bigger than ever before. I dug my nails into his back and moved my hips beneath him as best I could.
“Tell me again,” he growled hotly in my ear.
“Victor, Baby, it’s yours,” I cried.
I knew that was his point, he was trying to show me he was the one for me. I knew he was pissed about what Belinda and Janice told him. He now knew I really wanted to be with the one person he trusted the most. I could feel that scared him.
“You’re mine, Taliyah,” he growled.
My hands moved into his hair as he nailed me into the mattress. I thought I was going to tear his hair out, I had my fingers locked so tightly in it.
“Yes, poppy. I know,” I moaned loudly.
Victor suddenly slowed his pace. His hands cupped my face as his brown eyes found my sex drunk ones. I was wrung out and holding on by a thread. He leaned into peck my lips, then move to kiss my cheek.
“Mm, Mama, I want to love you,” he moaned softly and sincerely in my ear.
I pulled his face to me and kissed him. “You can trust me Victor, I promise.” He kissed me back as he grabbed the sheets by my head.
Reaching for my legs, he brought them over his shoulders. He continued to rock into me gently. His head dipped to capture my nipple between his full brown lips, his eyes never leaving mine.
As Victor held me, I thought about everything Alex told me about him. I knew he really did want to love me. I also knew how hard that was for him.
Everyone in his life that he loved left or betrayed him, everyone but Alex. Me liking Alex threatened the one relationship he trusted and at the same time it threatened the one relationship he was trying to build. I didn’t want to hurt him. He had been hurt more than any one person should ever be hurt.
I let my hand run down his back in a caress of promise. I wanted to give him comfort as much as he wanted to give me pleasure. The fire in his eyes told me how much he wanted to please me and as his strong body stroked into me he was.
My senses were on overload. I didn’t know it could be this good. I knew things had been good between us before, but this was next level. I felt a connection forming between us this time.
“I’m coming,” Victor groaned.
His word brought me back to reality, but I wasn’t in a position to wiggle away before his hot seed spilled inside me. I bite back a moan as his climax set off another of mine.
Victor collapsed on top of me and rolled onto his back dragging me with him. His fingers started and lazy trail down my back. My brain wouldn’t go silent as I laid there.
“Victor?”
“Yeah,” he answered.
“I’m going on the pill. I got some samples today and I’m going to take them.” I decided I was going to take Alex’s advice.
“I thought I told you I’ll take care of you.”
“Yeah, but I’m not ready for that right now. I have school and I really want to finish.”
“Alright,” he sighed as he sucked his teeth. “But where you get them samples from?”
“Carmen, Queeny’s sister. She works for a doctor.”
“So, you didn’t go see your doctor, you using someone else’s crap, naw Ma-me. If that is what you want, I want you to go to your own doctor. I’ll pay for it if you need me to.”
“Yeah, but I need to do something.”
“I’ll strap up till you go see your doctor. I don’t want you just taking some pills just anybody gave you.” He did sound like he was concerned about me and my well-being, despite sounding like he was disappointed.
“Okay.”
“Where are you going?” he asked as I got up to get out of bed.
“I’m thirsty, you want something?”
“Yeah,” he answered and got up to put on his boxers.
I went to get my robe and put it on. After I was covered up, I stepped out of the room into the living room. I was instantly annoyed and embarrassed. Richie, Sisqo, Juan, and Alex were sitting there watching TV. I knew they were there the whole time because Sisqo had a stupid grin on his face, Juan, and Richie were trying not to smile and Alex looked like he was hurt and angry.
I rushed into the kitchen and got myself some water and gulped it down. Victor had come out of the room and sat in a chair in the living room. I was so mad at him. He knew they were all out here. He had me screaming on purpose. He wanted Alex to hear, I know he did. I wasn’t even thinking about it at the time. Now he was sitting there with this arrogant grin on his face.
“Taliyah, can you please get me some water?” he asked.
I have to admit, I stopped being as mad when he asked me for the water so politely. He was trying. I didn’t like what he did, but I understood it and I knew why he felt he needed to. I filled a glass with water and ice and walked over to hand it to him.
“Thank you, baby,” he said and motioned for me to kiss him.
I bent to kiss him as he wanted before turning to go back in the room. I went in the room and closed the door behind me. I climbed back in bed and went to sleep. I slept pretty soundly despite them making noise in the living room all
night. I do remember when Victor climbed in the bed and pulled me into his arms.
chapter six
For Everyone To Know
I woke up early the next morning for school. Victor was passed out. I showered and went to see if there was anything to eat in the refrigerator. I found nothing but a bunch of bottles of champagne and orange juice. I got some orange juice and went to sit and study before I left out. I figured I was up early enough to figure out how to take the train or bus to school. I still had no real idea of where we lived.
I took out my books and my laptop and got to my last minute studying. I knew Alex was gone already, he told me he had to be to school early this morning. I wasn’t sure if anyone else was around. I was not sure how many bedrooms were in this place. I know Alex had one. I wasn’t sure about Juan and the others.
I had gotten in an hour of studying and I was going to wrap up soon to get going. I just wanted to go through my notes one more time. Victor came out of the bedroom stretching and yawning as I went through my notes. He walked over and brushed my hair from my face and kissed me on the cheek.
“What you doing?” he asked picking up one of my books and flipping through it.
“Studying, I have a test today.”
“Ma-me, I want to take you shopping today.”
“I know, but I can’t miss this test. It will only take me like an hour. I’ll be back.”
“What time you have to be to school?” he asked.
“I’m going to leave in ten minutes. I figure that should be enough time to figure out the train to get there on time.”
“What time you need to be there?” he asked as he frowned at me.
“Noon.”
“Juan will take you. By the time he comes back for me, you should be done and we’ll scoop you up,” he said.
“Okay.”
“Yo, what’s that?” he laughed and pointed to my laptop.
“That’s my laptop.”
“That dinosaur,” he teased.
“Whatever. I need to study.”
He leaned to kiss me and turned toward the bedroom. He walked over to one of the other doors, the one next to our room and banged on it. I heard a voice grumble on the inside of the door.
“Get up, Juan. You taking Tali to school.”
Juan got me to school with time to spare. I grabbed a bagel, since I had the time. It took me the whole hour to fill my exam book. When I walked out of the school, Alex was standing in front of the black Range Rover from the night at the warehouse party.
“How did you do?” Alex asked as I got to him.
“I aced it,” I said as I started to do a little dance.
He raised his hand up for me to give him five as he laughed. I gave him five and he went to open the door for me. I climbed in the back seat next to Victor, who was on the phone. I kissed him on the cheek and turned to lean my back against his chest. He put his arm around me and kissed the top of my hair.
He was barking orders at people the whole ride. I fell asleep as Juan drove us to Long Island to the mall Victor wanted to take me to. I’d never been there before, so I was a little excited.
Victor went crazy with the shopping. If I liked a pair of shoes, he bought them in every color. He bought me bags, belts, and wallets. He bought me clothes to party in, clothes for school, and clothes for going out to dinner. He even took me to get new underclothes and more lingerie for him to enjoy. He teased me about my laptop all day, then took me to get a new one.
He was being really sweet the whole time. We held hands as we walked through the mall and he would just kiss me out of the blue. From what Alex said and what I knew about Victor, from gossip, that was not normal for him. I liked the way he was being.
When we were done with the clothes shopping, Victor wanted to take me to a jewelry store. He didn’t like my earrings. He said I needed to have something in my ears that looked as pretty as me. We went to the jewelry store and he insisted on me trying on the diamond earrings he picked.
“See Ma-me, those look good on you,” he said as he held my hair back. “You like that.”
“Three karats, they would look good on anyone,” I teased.
He sucked his teeth at me and went over to the display with the rings in it. I was looking in the mirror at the earrings I was wearing, trying not to smile too hard. They were gorgeous. I couldn’t believe he was about to buy them for me.
“Miss., can I see this ring?” he called to the clerk.
She went over to him and pulled out the group of rings he was pointing to. Victor reached for the one he was talking about so he could get a better look. The clerk started to tell him details about the ring as he smiled at it. His face was glowing as he stared at the ring. I couldn’t help wondering what he was thinking.
“Wow, you are going to cheat on me in my face,” I teased. The way he was looking at the ring, I thought he was going to buy it. I was really curious as to what he was thinking.
“What you talking about?” he asked and frowned at me.
“You going to buy some girl a ring, while I’m standing right here.”
“Shut up,” he sucked his teeth and smirked. “Come here and try this on.”
I went over to him and let him put the ring on my finger. It was a perfect fit and it was beautiful. The center diamond was a yellow square cut diamond. It was set in the middle of a halo of white diamonds and the band was covered with diamonds inside and out. I knew it cost a fortune.
“Miss., this and the earrings,” Victor said.
“What, why are you buying this?” I knew Victor was out of his mind. Why in the world would he buy me a ring like that?
He was smiling from ear to ear. “You’re mine. I want everyone to know. You’ll wear it for me?” At least he was asking, I thought to myself. I still couldn’t believe him.
“Yes,” I replied coyly.
Juan walked over to the clerk with the Gucci carrier he was carrying. He started to pull cash from it to count out the money for Victor’s purchases. The clerk looked like she was going to float.
I figured she worked on commission. I was happy she was getting the sale. She was the first one to ask us if we needed help, but she was not the first clerk available. That served them right. From the watch on Victor’s wrist alone, they should have known better.
The clerk came to give me the jewelry boxes for the items I was already wearing. She gave Victor the receipt and the certificates for the diamonds in my ring and my earrings. I was so happy. The earrings were enough to make me happy, but the ring was crazy over the top. I know I was beaming.
When we got outside the jewelry store, Alex was by the truck eating a bag of chips. I was starving. Food was the one thing that Victor could improve on. Alex opened my door and I snatched the chips from his hand and jumped in the car. He laughed and closed the door behind me. I was eating the chips and admiring the ring on my finger when my phone started to ring. It was Queeny.
“Hey, sweetie.”
“Hey, Mama, what’s up?” Queeny sang back.
“I’m chilling.”
“Cool, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t have problems over those two tricks.”
“Naw, I’m good. I do need to get my hair done though.”
“I can get you in.”
“Ouch,” I whined as Victor pinched me. His face was all turned up. He was making a cutting motion at his throat with his hand and shaking his head. “Queeny, let me call you back.” I hung up the phone and narrowed my eyes at Victor. “What was that for?”
“First, Taliyah, you with me. How you gonna answer your phone and think you gonna sit on it? Second, I told you I don’t like your friends,” he hissed.
“Victor, are you serious?”
“Yeah, I’m serious.”
“Here, now, I won’t talk to anyone,” I yelled as I throw the phone at him. “I can’t believe you. You were on the phone the whole way to the mall. You are so controlling. I moved in with you, I’m wearing this ring, what else
do you want Victor?”
“I want you to listen. Why you have to have such a big mouth?”
“What? Big mouth? I’ll show you a big mouth.”
I turned away from him and started to cry. He could make me so mad. I hate the way he talks to me. I didn’t need to put up with this crap. I didn’t care who he was, I wasn’t going to let him control everything I did. He was on the phone the whole time we were on the way to the mall and I didn’t have a cow.
When we got to the garage, I got out of the car and went straight for the elevator. I didn’t bother to help them with the bags. The three of them unloaded as much as they could and got on the elevator with me.
When we got up to the apartment, I went straight in the bedroom to get my things. I put my stuff in my bag and threw my bag on my shoulder to walk out. Victor entered the bedroom and stood in my way.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Me and my big mouth are leaving.”
“Tali, stop,” he said as he handed me the phone I threw at him.
“No, you stop! You can take all that stuff back. You’re not going to talk to me like that.” I snatched my phone and pushed pass him.
He was right behind me as I stormed into the living room. He grabbed my arm and turned me to face him. I was so mad I wanted to hit him with my bag.
“Tali, Mama, I’m sorry. Don’t leave.” His face was covered in panic and frustration.
“I don’t want to stay with you.” I was so mad; I couldn’t control the tears flowing from my eyes.
“Stop crying. I’m trying, Taliyah,” he said and wrapped his arms around me.
My phone started to ring and I looked at the caller ID. My mother had some of the worse timing. I wiped the tears from my face and went to pick up the phone.
“And she’s going to answer that while I’m talking to her,” Victor grunted as he threw his arms in the air and grabbed the back of his hair.
“It’s my mom,” I whined. “Hello.” I was trying not to sniffle.
“Hey Liyah, what’s the matter?”
“Nothing, I was watching a movie. You know how I get.”
“Mm… how are things with your roommates?” I could tell in her response she was not buying it.
