Fate (Fate 1)

“Oh my God, that’s exactly what Lorenzo said.”

“Yeah, no shit. But you fell for it?”

Rose dropped his hand, but he took her hand right back in his. “No I didn’t fall for it, Vincent. I asked him if he would, and he was nice enough to take the time to come do it twice a week.”

“Oh, I bet he was. And where was he giving you these shots, Rose, on your ass?”

He squeezed her hand when she tried to let go again. “On my thigh,” she said almost through her teeth.

Vincent stared at her for a moment without saying anything then he smirked. “So how did Enzo blackmail you?”

She sat up for this. “After he told me the whole truth about why you really left, how it was him dealing, not you, but you took the fall for him, I admitted that I’d made the whole thing up about being with Ben. I told him I was still in love with you and that I’d write you to tell you and that I’d end the fake relationship I had with Ben. Then a few days later Ben showed up at the restaurant for my injection. Your brother followed me out of the restaurant demanding to know why he was there to see me again.”

“Good man. Good man.” Vincent nodded smiling. “Go on.”

She had to smile now. “So because he wouldn’t back down, I had to tell him about the injections. Then he said the same thing you did.” She did her best to imitate both of their caustic tones. “Pre-med my ass.”

Vincent laughed at that then kissed her. “All right, so what happened next?”

“He threatened to tell you about it if I didn’t stop and just let him give me the injections.” She stared at him for a moment, suddenly feeling emotional again. “I didn’t want you thinking I’d actually moved on and with all guys, Ben. So I had no choice but to tell Ben I didn’t need him to do it anymore.”

Vincent leaned his forehead against hers, smiling.” Where’s my phone?”

“What?” she pulled back to look at him.

“I gotta call my brother to tell him I love him.”

Rose fell into him. “You and your brother. Holy hell, I thought I only had you to deal with!”

“Well, now you know.” Vince smiled, kissing her as he moved her body onto his on the sofa. “But Ben’s gone, babe. You gotta know that, right?” She made herself more comfortable lying on top of him. “I can’t deal with his ass. I’m just letting you know that right now. He might be a nice guy, and he’s your friend and all, but I can’t stand the way he looks at you. Lorenzo saw it too. As long as you’re cool with not being around this guy when I’m not there, we can work something out.”

“He might be at some of my games. He said he wanted to watch the finals.”

“That’s cool,” Vincent said, kissing her a little deeper than he had all night, “because I’ll be at all of those games, too.

His hand slipped into her shorts making her squirm. “Remember where we’re at,” she reminded him, feeling her body tingle as his fingers made their way to that perfect place.

“I do,” he said moving those magic fingers like only he knew how. “We’re fully dressed in case anyone walks in, but Sal and Grace looked tired as shit. I have plans for us tomorrow when I’ll get mine, but tonight I wanna feel you get yours.” His fingers moved perfectly, making her spread her legs to accommodate him going in deeper. She buried her face in his chest, trying to stifle a moan. “This is mine?” he asked tickling that perfect spot.

“Yes!” She lifted herself, spreading even wider for him.

Taking advantage of her spread, he slipped two more fingers in. “All mine?”

She licked his neck then sucked it, making him straighten out real quick. “All yours, baby.”

Over a year was long enough; she pushed his pants down just low enough and pulled him out. He was up and erect and as beautiful as she remembered. Without taking anything off, she pulled her shorts aside and slid right onto him.

She covered his mouth and had to stifle her own moans. “Shh!”

“Nobody’s waiting until tomorrow,” she whispered.

She began riding him up and down, letting her foot hit the floor, so he was all the way in. Then she lifted her foot off the floor, feeling him go even deeper. Sliding up and down him again and again she began to feel his body stiffen and she knew he was getting close. Then she stopped for a moment and just sat there, her eyes rolling back as she felt him in her as deep as he could possibly go. “Vincent, baby, I missed you so much” she whispered breathlessly.

“I’m gonna come, babe, and I’m not wearing a condom.”

“I don’t care! Do it!”

In the next second, he grabbed her waist and lifted himself up, pushing himself into her and froze that way. “Auughh!”

She came, just feeling the heat of him explode inside her. There was nothing more satisfying. She sat on him for a few minutes longer, enjoying the euphoria, trying to catch her breath. A little surprised he hadn’t asked again, she smiled, looking down at him. “You own this forever.”

He smiled without opening his eyes but squeezed her behind. “I know.”

“You do?”

“Yep, I figured it out in Iraq. This ass was made for me. That’s why I had to come back and claim it.”

Rose giggled tilting her head. “Really now?”

Vincent opened his playful eyes, smiled even bigger, and squeezed her behind with both hands now. “And let me tell you. It was worth every broken bone.”
