“Same here. After Jake fucked me up I never let another guy in. Mom made me feel like I was so stupid and I didn’t want her to throw it in my face again. Bentley wants in so badly but I’m scared. Partly, I am scared to get hurt…”
Zach finishes my sentence for me. “And partly you’re scared mom and dad will say, ‘I told you so’ if things don’t work out.”
“Yeah.”
We sit for a few minutes in comfortable silence drinking. It feels like we have turned a new leaf, like I finally have a real brother.
“Will you come and visit more often?”
He gets off his stool and encloses me in his arms for a bear hug. “I miss you sis. I will definitely visit more often. I am sorry I stayed away. I was afraid you turned out like mom and dad but I think there is still hope for us yet.”
He drops me off at the apartment and comes up for a few minutes to dote on Faith before he leaves to go back to his hotel room. Since he only made plans to come for the weekend we make additional plans for him to fly out for a week soon. I can’t wait to spend some real time with my brother.
Once he’s gone, I lie Faith down in her crib in her nursery, turn the monitor on, and snuggle up next to Bentley in bed in our usual position. I lay my head down on his chest and he plays with the strands of my hair.
“So, how did it go with your parents?”
“Ok. They are just all about business. But surprisingly Zach let them have it.”
“Good for him.”
He moves me from his chest and lies on his side facing me. He traces my shoulder and down my arm with his fingers giving me goose bumps. His fingers continue down to my thigh and his touch causes my pussy to clench. He sees my legs tighten and his eyes dance with laughter at what he’s doing to me.
“You know I can’t have sex for at least two more weeks.”
His face turns serious and then to lust. “There’s plenty we can do without having sex.”
“I am pretty sure anything you are talking about isn’t part of our arrangement.” I say jokingly. I have already made up my mind that I am going to give Bentley and I a real chance; I just want to tell him in a more romantic way.
“I’m not asking you to marry me, Kayla, but I know you have to have needs that aren’t being met. Just let me help you meet them.”
He scoots closer to me bridging the small gap between us and brings his lips down to mine to kiss me. He is definitely right. I do have needs and those needs haven’t been met since the night I got pregnant with Faith.
I roll on to my back and Bentley climbs up on top of me with his forearms on either side of my head not letting any of his weight touch me. His lips come down onto mine first softly and then things start to get more heated.
His tongue slides into my mouth and I suck on it causing him to moan. I grab him by his short hair and hold his face to mine as our mouths begin to practically make love to each other. Bringing my knee slightly up I rub his hard erection up and down while continuing to kiss him. He stops my assault by taking one hand and separating my legs bringing his knee down to my pussy and begins to rub my sex with his knee through my cotton shorts causing me to become instantly wet.
God! I am so damn turned on right now. All I want is for this man to touch me and caress me, and never fucking stop.
“Bentley, touch me please. I need you to touch me.” I stop our kissing just long enough to get the words out of my mouth.
“My pleasure.” He growls out and suddenly he is off my body and his face is down near my pussy. He grips my shorts and panties and pulls them off in one fell swoop; at the same time, I remove my shirt and bra so I am completely naked in front of him. I should probably feel self-conscious because I did recently have a baby but the way he touches me and looks at me like he wants nothing more than to devour me gives me all the confidence I need to be ok with my body.
He starts at my foot kissing the inside of my sole and slowly works his way back up placing small, wet kisses up my calf then my thigh and then moves over to my other inner thigh. I think he is finally going to give me what I so badly need when he bypasses my pussy altogether and goes for my breasts. He first starts off kissing each one then takes one of my nipples in his mouth and closes his lips on it. He begins alternating between sucking and licking. He sucks so hard it hurts but then he licks it to soothe away the pain. He moves to my other nipple and gives it the same attention.
My thighs are squeezing so tight trying to release the pent-up tension I swear I am going to combust. It doesn’t do any good though because Bentley’s body is in between my legs so I am just squeezing his thighs with mine. I know he can feel me pressing into him because he chuckles softly.
“Bentley please!” I resort to begging him. It’s been over nine months. I can’t be held accountable for my actions at this point.
He gives me one small kiss and then moves his way back down to the area that is in dire need of attention. He separates my pussy lips and puts his tongue right onto my clit leaving it there for a second. I am staring at him and see him inhale deeply. I go to close my legs but it’s pointless because he is still lying between them.
“What are you doing?” I whisper yell. I need to make sure our daughter doesn’t get woken up before I get attended to.
“I am smelling your cunt, and woman I have missed this smell. Fuck, I am addicted to this smell.”
He doesn’t give me a chance to respond before his tongue is back on my clit licking from bottom to top causing me to squirm and moan out loud. My head falls back onto the pillow and I just enjoy his mouth pleasuring me. He lifts my butt up a little bit and licks my other puckered hole causing me to jump.
“Kayla… Has anybody ever fucked you here?” I know he is referring to anal sex and I can feel myself blush. If I barely do feelings, I definitely don’t do anal. I would never let a man see me that exposed and vulnerable. My head pops back up to look at him.
“No,” I say softly and shake my head. His face lights up and says, “We don’t have time right now but I will take you here… and soon.” and then goes back to licking me. He stops at my hole and pokes his tongue in quickly. I want to say it feels like he is violating me but the truth is it feels good but it shouldn’t surprise me because everything this man does to me feels so damn good.
He brings his mouth back up to my clit and focuses his attention there bringing me close to the edge and then pulling back just enough that I am ready to lose it. He takes his fingers and just when I think he has forgotten that I can’t have intercourse and is going to stick them in me, he takes my juices and wipes them down to my ass getting my tight hole all wet.
Has he changed his mind? Is he going to take me right now in the ass? His dick remains in his pants so I don’t think he is. He takes one finger and slowly inserts it into my puckered hole. Holy fuck! Does it feel good. It’s like he’s massaging my insides with his one finger. I had no idea anal play could feel so amazing. While finger fucking me in my ass he goes back to my clit. He licks and sucks and slurps up my juices never stopping his finger from continuing to stroke the insides of me.
Another few minutes of Bentley bringing me closer and closer to my climax, and I feel the orgasm building and ready to spill over. He must know it’s coming because he inserts his finger a little further into me and licks faster… and I lose it. My body shakes and trembles and my pussy convulses as I come all over this man’s mouth. I bite down on my lip so hard to stay quiet I think I can taste blood.
I look back down at him as he removes his finger, sits up on his knees, and makes a show out of licking my juices off his lips. I can’t help but blush at this act. He has no problem making it clear how much he wants me in every way.
Without needing to think about it for more than a second I sit up to grab his pants to return the favor when the baby monitor goes off with the sounds of Faith crying. He laughs and shakes his head. I look closely to see if he’s upset at all and he’s not. He’s so selfless it’s scary.
; “Go wash your face and hands and I will grab her.” I say as I get up and throw on my shorts.
I walk into her room and Caleb is already standing over the crib holding her.
“Hey there.”
He turns around and smiles sheepishly. “Sorry, I heard her crying and couldn’t help myself. Plus based off the noises that were coming from the room I wasn’t sure if you would be physically capable of making it out here.” He laughs at his own joke.
“Sorry! I thought I was being quiet! And I didn’t even know you were home.” I am so mortified that I can’t even look Caleb in the eyes. I go to the kitchen and grab a bottle and he hands Faith over to me so I can feed her.
“Hey,” he says in all seriousness looking me in my eyes. “You have nothing to be embarrassed about. I am glad you and Bentley are finally together.”
“We aren’t together,” I say. I want to tell Caleb that I plan to change that but feel like I should tell Bentley first.
Then I add, “I feel so bad. It’s like we are taking up your whole apartment. We should probably look for a place to live so you don’t have a baby cramping your style. I just don’t know what we can afford with neither of us working right now.”
“No way, you aren’t cramping anything. You know I love you guys here,” he states and then goes back to giving Faith his attention.
Fifteen
Bentley
I come out from the bathroom and overhear Kayla telling Caleb we aren’t together. It’s a punch to my gut that she needs to remind everyone around us that she doesn’t want me for anything more than to father her child and help raise her. Every time I think I am making progress she reminds me that she doesn’t feel the same way. Maybe it is time to take a step back. A guy can only take so much rejection.
* * *
Because Liz is now overdue, they are inducing her today and Kayla has offered to watch Bella for them so their parents can join them at the hospital. I am giving Faith a bottle when Bella comes barreling into the apartment and jumps on the couch to join me.
“Hey Uncle Bentley! I am going to get a baby brother just like Faith but with boy parts!”
She is honestly the most adorable kid I have ever met, and every time she calls me Uncle Bentley I just want to hand over my wallet and tell her to go buy anything her little heart desires.
“I know sweetie. Are you excited?”
“I am so excited! And I get to stay with Auntie Kay and you while they have the baby. Will you help me train for the UFC while I am here?”
Bella is determined to follow in her father’s footsteps and one day be a part of the UFC. The child is only five years old but swears one day she is going to be the next Ronda Rousey. It drives Liz nuts with worry every time Bella wants to practice her fighting moves so she put her into mixed-martial-arts classes at the gym that Cooper just started up for kids and teens. When he asked me if I would be interested in funding the program I didn’t think twice. It’s a great program and gets kids off the streets since they are offering it at a discounted and free rate if the family’s income qualifies. I am glad my money can go towards something to help kids.
I lift Faith up over my shoulder to burp her and say, “I am sure that can be arranged.”
“What can be arranged?” Kayla comes walking through the door from saying goodbye to Liz and Cooper so they can head to the hospital. She takes Faith from me to go lay her down.
“Bella wants to practice some MMA while she is with us.”
Kayla smiles wide. She loves how tough Bella is. “That sounds like fun. Why don’t you two go to the gym and I will stay here with Faith. I can order a pizza for when you get back and we can watch a movie. What are you into these days?”
Bella looks like she was just told she is going to Disney Land when she says, “Yes! Yes! Let’s go! I brought a movie with me. I will show it to you later.”
She runs to the door ready to head to the gym. I grab my gym bag and head out with her. We get to the gym and Bella tells me she is going to warm up on the punching bag before we get started. I see Caleb in the ring and join him.
“Yo, Caleb!” I call out. He turns around and nods a quick hello. I jump in the ring and ask him if he wants a sparring partner.
“Bring it new daddy,” he chuckles.
“Where’s Kayla and Faith?” He asks while we circle each other getting into a rhythm. I punch, he blocks; he punches, I block.
“They are home. I brought Bella here to practice her MMA. She is at the bag warming up.” I nod my head towards the bags where the cute fucking little girl is throwing kicks and punches to the bag with all her might yet the bag doesn’t even look like it’s being touched.
Caleb looks over and laughs. “That girl is serious about fighting. I took over for Cooper this week running the kids MMA program and you should see her. The boys don’t want to touch her and it’s just making her even madder. I can’t imagine being a little girl in a boy’s world.”
I throw a sweeping kick to the back of Caleb’s knee hoping to knock him off balance but he sees it coming and grapples me to the ground pinning me down for the fake win. I can’t help but laugh.
“Damn, I am so out of shape. You are getting good fucker.”
Caleb smiles. “Damn right I am. I am going to win this upcoming fight. I want it so bad.”
He stands up first and gives me a hand to pull me up.
“I’m ready!” Bella comes over all cute and sweaty.
“Ok, fighter. Who do you want to fight? Caleb or me?”
She thinks for a second and before she answers a boy says, “I will fight her.”
I raise my eyebrow up wondering why the hell this kid wants to fight Bella. He looks older than her but not yet a teenager. I turn to Caleb and he answers my unspoken thoughts.
“Hey Marco! This is Bentley. Bentley, this is Marco. He is part of the kids MMA program.”
“What’s up kid? Why you wanna fight Bella?” I ask out of curiosity.
Marco says, “Because she is good, and she has a better chance of beating me than you two. Plus nobody else wants to fight her because she is a girl.”
I look over at Bella and she nods her head up and down. “If she’s ok with it, I am. How old are you?”
Marco puffs out his chest and I have to hold in my laughter. “I’m eleven almost twelve.
“Where are your parents?” I ask looking around not seeing anyone but the usual guys working out.
“Umm…well…” Marco looks suddenly nervous and Caleb jumps in.
“Marco’s mom works a lot so Marco comes by after school to practice on days we don’t have class. His mom hasn’t been by to sign him up yet but we are letting it slide for now. My only rule is he has to head home before six so he isn’t walking home in the dark. Right Marco?”
The kid nods his head. I look him up and down with this new knowledge. The kid is wearing old as fuck shoes that look a size too small. His shirt is definitely old and based on the brand it’s definitely a hand-me down. His hair looks like it hasn’t been cut in a while. He’s skinny like he eats but definitely not more than necessary. This kid isn’t taken care of and my heart breaks for him.
Until I had a kid of my own I never even thought about other kids. I can’t imagine Faith not being taken care of. I can’t imagine her needing to walk home by herself or me not even knowing where she is. I need to remember to talk to Caleb later about this kid. Maybe there is something more I can do to help.
For the first time, I see how amazing Cooper and Liz are for starting this kids program. If it weren’t for them where would Marco be right now? Out running the streets? Fuck, how many kids are out on the streets because they have nowhere else to go?
I notice a couple of the other kids and teenagers come over to join us to see the fight. Everybody knows Bella since she practically lives at the gym with her parents.
“Alright well we have ourselves a match up.” I say shaking all the thoughts from my head. I will talk to Caleb later but I don
’t want to embarrass the kid by talking about him in front of other people.
Bella puts on her headgear and Caleb gives Marco one to borrow. I stand in the middle of the ring and give them the rules.
“Alright guys…” —Bella clears her throat and glares at me— “…and girls” I add holding back from laughing.
She nods her head once. I hold in my laughter once again.
“No groin attacks, no knees to the head on a grounded opponent, no head butts, no eye gouging, and no biting. Keep it clean. Got it?”
Both of them say ok and I move out of the way so they can begin. Bella goes straight for Marco and throws a punch to his stomach. He’s taller than her so she goes for the area where she can reach. It isn’t a hard punch but he doesn’t see it coming and he stumbles back with laughter in his eyes.
We all have to respect the girl. She might be the youngest and tiniest one here but she isn’t playing. She knows what she wants and she is going for it.
Marco nods his head in a way that says ok, game on. I am suddenly nervous. The kid isn’t big but he’s bigger than Bella and could definitely hurt her if he tried.
He throws a punch straight to her face and she ducks and then kicks him. All the guys are now chanting Bella’s name and it spurs her on. I pull out my phone and record her to send to her dad. I know he will get a kick out of this.
After a few minutes of sparring, Marco gets inside and grabs Bella by her shoulders. I can see he is going to bring her down but instead of just dropping her he holds on to her, does a foot sweep and almost helps her fall so she doesn’t get hurt. I definitely have respect for this kid. Bella is huffing and puffing but I know she isn’t hurt. It’s obvious Marco is a good kid.
Bella wrestles under him, and then picks her butt and stomach up off the floor to try to push him off of her. It’s a damn good move and if she was his size it would probably work but her tiny body isn’t strong enough and he closes her in grabbing her arm to make her tap out.
