In Compton, California….
Rachel
I had just gotten off the airplane and was in the back of a taxi with my sister and niece. We were almost at Mario’s house. This was my first time back since he had died. I found it strangely comforting the closer we got to his house. I felt like he was going to be there when I got there and I’d at last after two years be able to hold and hug him again.
When we arrived at his house, I stood outside the car waiting for Mario to step outside. I looked around the yard expecting either Roni or Robi to come running at me. Nothing happened other than me being disappointed. I looked up as Derrick and Jeremy walked out to me. “Hey Sis.” We hugged. “We didn’t think you were coming.” I nodded my head in attempt to swallow my tears. This is going to be hard, I thought walking into the house. I looked at Bill as he hugged me followed by Markus and Steven.
Seeing them made me expect Mario to come out the back to greet me with our sons. I stood there listening to the gossip and plans for today for today waiting for them to come, but they didn’t. Before my tears could erupt, I walked into our room.
I broke down crying as soon as the door closed. I missed him so much to the point I was so angry with him. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU NOT HERE WITH ME? I NEED YOU HERE AND YOU ARE NOT HERE! YOU LEFT ME ALONE! AND WITH OUR DAUGHTER! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW HARD THIS IS? I collapsed on the floor crying.
How do you expect me to live without you? I looked up as Mario knelt in front of me. His smile slowed my tears until they came to a halt. He rested his hands on my knees as he sat there smiling at me. “Come on. You know better.” He said wiping my tears. “You know if I could be here, I would be. Be strong, like you’ve been.” I nodded my head. “Give me a hug.” I quickly flew into his arms. It felt so good just to feel the warmth of his body as he hugged me as tight as he could. “I love you and I’ll always be with you, no matter what, baby. Don’t you ever forget that.” I nodded my head. “Don’t ever let me go.” I said as he kissed me. He smiled at me as I held on to him for dear life. “Not even in death.” I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He laughed as he held me closer. “Now let’s turn up for an old man’s birthday.” “You’re not old. You’re only turning thirty.” “Same thing.” I laughed again not wanting to let go. He kissed me again.
A knock on the door startled me making me let go. “Are you okay?” Markus asked stepping in closing the door behind him. He hugged me as I sniffled away. I closed my eyes as he wiped my tears. “We’re going to do it big for his big three O.” I nodded my head and forced a smile. “Where’s Ryah?” “In Orlando, with her Aunt.” “Why didn’t she come?” “Charlene told me they were coming back today when they aren’t coming back until Friday.” “Why did she lie to you?” “Everyone thinks I’m suicidal.” He looked at me. “Are you?” I looked away. “If I didn’t have Maryah, I would have been committed suicide.” He nodded his head. “So, because she’s not physically here now, do I need to worry about you?” I looked down for a moment. “Rachel, come on. We are going to get through this.” I nodded my head again and forced a smile.
The entire day we hung out and drank and reminisced about Mario. That night we went out to the club where every Blood came to show their love for Mario. Everything seemed okay. We all made it back to the house drunk. Everyone was happy because they felt his presence. All day I couldn’t wait to get back here to see my babies. I stumbled into my boys’ room. I walked over to their beds where they were sleeping. I smiled down at them as I reached down and kissed them. “Hey Mommy.” Roni said as I laid beside him. “Hey baby.” He rolled into me giving me the biggest hug. I laid there holding him and rubbing his back making him drift back to sleep. That’s when I felt Robi’s tiny arms hugging me from behind. I held his hand as he laid his head on my neck and cuddled against my back as he kissed my cheek. I laid there with them, holding them, as they went back to sleep. The warmth of their bodies comforted me and their hearts beating against my chest and back was my lullaby putting me to sleep. I awakened a short while later. I looked in the doorway at Mario who was standing there watching us. He smiled at me before disappearing into our room. I gently tucked my Princes in and followed him.
As I closed the door there, he was waiting for me. I let the door hold me up as I watched my king walk towards me. He was so sexy. Watching his beautiful sexy body swagger to me made me begin seeping through my underwear. He stood in front of me breathing down on me. Feeling his lips gently brush against mine teased and tormented me. I had to have this man one way or another.
I ran my hands up and down his tight tattooed abs making him run his strong warm hands up my thighs to my lady humps. Tingles and shivers flew through my legs making me weak. That’s when he finally kissed me. He pulled my arms up and held them against the wall over my head making me smile at him. He smiled back. “It’s my birthday, remember.” I kissed him again as he lifted my leg and held it over his muscular arms and detoured his oversized aircraft into my hanger. I shivered and gasped into his kiss as he worked his way inside of me filling me with all his affection.
He finally released my arms and they automatically wrapped around his neck along with my legs around his waist and we melted to the floor strumming each other with the most passionate melody we had ever given each other. I held him as tight as I could as we pounded each other filling the room with sweat and our panting. That’s when he stopped and pushed me off him. I watched him sit up and snatch my dress off and my underwear he was pulling to the side off. I watched my clothes sail across the room as he pushed me down on my stomach and plunged inside of me from behind making me whimper. He held my arms over my head against the floor and made it known I was his now and forever.
All I could do was surrender and enjoy my love while he was here, and I did. The entire night it was just us all over the room, from the floor, to the bed, back to the floor, and all over the walls. He gave it to me however and whenever I wanted, and I did the same.
That morning I awakened to the sun peeking into the window. I sat up in the bed and looked around for Mario and did not see him. “Bae?” I called looking around again. There’s no way in hell that was a dream. I thought standing up exposing my naked body.
I felt him everywhere. There is no way I just imagined that. Did I?

I was in the shower washing away the night. Never again would I drink like that again. I closed my eyes as I remembered how she kissed me and how good she felt. I remembered how much I did not want to let her go and how she held me, so I wouldn’t go. Thinking about her touching me the way she did arouse me all over again and made me wish I did not sneak out the room so early. One thing was for sure, that could never happen again. I let the liquor take over and I took advantage of her. The whole time she thought I was Mario.
I stood under the steamy hot water reminiscing of how I had just walked in to check on her before I went to sleep. She stood there staring at me, so I walked over to her. She stood there drunkenly staring at me like I was the sexiest man alive. Her sweet scent invaded my nose and I had to see if she felt as good as she smelled. Her soft warm skin made me aroused and the alcohol in my system took over and I kissed her. All my lust came out in that kiss. I hadn't been with anyone for years. It has always been about the business for me. But now, what am I going to do? How do I ignore the urge to touch her again? She awakened a deep dark beast inside, and he didn't want to go away. He needed her so bad he felt suffocated without her. So now what do I do?
I felt me growing hard thinking about how soft her insides felt around me. I wish she was in here right now. I’d show her my name is Markus and not Mario.
“I’m sorry Mark, I have to really pee.” I opened the shower curtain to see Rachel sleepily rushing in.
My mouth dropped open as she closed the door behind her. “Don’t mind me.” She said closing the curtain in my face. I can’t believe she’s in here now. I listened to her pee as I turned off the water. Here we go, I thought pulling the curtain open as the toilet flushed.
I stepped out as she pulled her jersey down and underwear up. I was just about to bend her over the sink when Jeremy rushed in. Rachel and I both jumped back as he buried his face in the toilet throwing up.
“Oh no!” Rachel said disgusted. She quickly washed her hands and ran out the bathroom. I looked at Jeremy wondering whether to drown him or shoot him. I wrapped myself in a towel and walked out instead.
I guess that is all I get. My one night with Ryah would have to last me a lifetime.
For one night, I was Mario as far as she was concerned. This secret I would take to the grave. I was so sorry for betraying my brother, but at the same time it felt so good to have her I did not care. I felt somewhat free and relieved. I did want more but I had to control and deny myself the forbidden fruit of Ryah. The question is do I have the will power to do so?
