“ Family reunion? “
“ It’s not like I’m telling everybody you my man, I’ll introduce you as a friend. “ I continued grabbing the clothes from the bed and folding them.
“ I ain't your friend, though, I’m more than that. “ he sassed.
“ Look, can you make up your damn mind? “ I chuckled, trying to hide my frustration. “ You don’t have to go, Jaylin will keep me company. I just thought it would be more fun if you tagged along. “
“ Look, it’s not that I don’t love you, I..... “ he stopped what he was saying as I looked at him. “ f**k. “
“ What’s wrong with anything you just said? “ I looked at him as I smiled.
“ You don’t think we movin’ too fast? “ he told on himself. I climbed into the bed, crawling over to him and massaging his shoulders.
“ Why didn’t you just tell me? “
He moaned. “ I don’t know. I really f**k witchu’, lil’ daddy, I ain’t tryna’ lose you. “
I smiled. “ Well, I love you too. “
He turned around, tackling me, and decorating my face with many kisses. We laughed as we wrestled, me trying to get away and him trying to contain me.
“ I guess he finally told you what we already know? “ Jaylin stood at the door, crossing her arms. Vinny gave me one last kiss before leaving to pack a bag. Jaylin watched him leave and then turned to me, grinning menacingly. “ Ya’ll done it yet? “
She sat down on the edge of the bed, hopeful and impatient for my answer. “ In my dreams, literally. “
“ That’s it? All that touching ya’ll do, and you only sucked the d**k. “ she frowned.
“ Um, hello, this is my love life, not yours. “ I folded the last shirt. “ Why does it concern you anyway? “
“ It doesn’t. “ she rolled her eyes. “ David, how many clothes you packing, the whole damn closet? “
“ Is it that many? “ I winced.
“ We only going for three damn days, it’s a week worth of looks sitting on this bed. “ she laughed, shaking her bed. “ Overthinker. “
The next morning, I woke to fix breakfast before we hit the road to Alabama. Just as we finished, my father honked the horn and we all scurried and rushed, running over last-minute checklists before we headed outside and into the Tahoe. I introduced Vinny to my mother and father. My mother embraced him as her own, but my father just stared at him. And not that good stare. This happened a while ago, and the boy I was dating at the time turned out to be crazy.
“ Lord, say it ain’t so. “ I mumbled as my father put the truck in gear and speeded towards the interstate.
“ I saw those gorgeous pictures from the shoot, David. “ my mother stopped humming along to the radio. “ Mrs. Danielle looked breathtaking in that skirt. “
“ Thanks, it was a pretty easy shoot. “
“ I’ve been tryin’ to get with that agency for the longest. “ Jaylin smacked her lips.
“ That’s a lie. Jalani is literally waiting on you. “ I argued.
“ The lie was worth a shot, dang. “ she shrugged as both my mother and father laughed.
My phone vibrated in my hand. I looked at the screen displaying the message from Vinny. I opened it as his pretty d**k graced my eyes. That vein snaking around his shaft had me reminiscing once again. I heard the satisfied huff come from the back seat. He was playing this game with me, and I was determined to play along. I’m not one to send nudes, but I had a couple of recent ones I had taken. I sent him the two I knew would have him dazed and waited for him to get them. He gently pushed on the back of the seat.
“ Where you from, young man? “ my father turned the radio all the way down. I would normally interfere, but I didn’t feel the need. I had seen Vinny in action, so I wasn’t worried.
“ I’m from Florida, sir. “
“ How do you know my son? “
“ We attend the same school. “ Vinny smiled.
“ How old are you? “ my father further scolded him, but Vinny wasn’t going to back down.
“ I’m twenty-seven, sir. “ he replied.
“ You got a job? “
“ Yes, I cut hair in my kitchen for right now. “
“ You know that’s illegal, right? “ he lifted his brow. Here we go.
“ Yes I do, and with all due respect, I’m proud of that. I’ve witnessed my boys get shot, some of them murdered, some of them even died right in my arms. I watched what the streets of my damaged neighborhood did to them, and knew I couldn’t take that same route. I explored something I was good at, and I stuck to it. Saved my life. “ Vinny left us all speechless. Of course, his tattoos and demeanor gave him a certain stereotypical edge, but I guess we were like my father: guilty for assuming.
“ Keep doing you, baby. “ my mother told him, but more so my father. That was her ‘I told you so’ tone. My father looked at Vinny through the rearview mirror.
“ I respect that. “
I released the breath I was holding in very dramatically, causing everyone to look at me suspiciously.
“ What? “
We finished the drive to Alabama and made it to the country soil in no time. We pulled into the driveway of my grandmothers' large home and parked. The elder people rushed off the porch and over to the white SUV.
“ Oh, my baby! “ my grandmother cooed, pulling me into her chest and suffocating me. She pulled Jaylin in tightly as well before getting to Vinny and stopping. “ And who is this? “
“ Vinny. A good friend of your grandson. “ she gave him a sensual hug, looking between him and I.
“ Mm. “ she winked at me before walking back to the porch.
“ You think she knows? “ Vinny wondered.
“ Either that or she tellin’ you not to be surprised when she steal your man. “
We walked into the house and settled into the familiar bedroom. My grandmother's house was huge, so two twin beds lied in each of the five bedrooms, along with many old dolls and stuffed animals. Vinny and I had just got done arguing about the sleeping arrangements. Jaylin laughed, walking over to the windows and opening all three of them.
“ Man, ain’t nobody scared of yo’ pops. “ Vinny flipped through the old photo album.
“ I’m not doing this wishy-washy crap with you again. “ I rolled my eyes, taking his clothes out of the bag and placing them in the drawer.
“ But you unpacking his bag, though. “ Jaylin pointed out.
“ Aw, you do love me. “ Vinny cooed, standing up and walking over to me. I shooed him away after he tried grabbing the clothes, amused.
“ It’s not funny. “
“ Vinny, I didn’t know you had such a rough childhood. “ Jaylin changed the conversation.
“ Yeah, it was rough. It was only me and my dad, and he worked day in and day out. He would be gone for weeks sometimes. “ he explained. “ We had this neighbor, Miss Ethel, she taught me how to cook, clean, and sew. “
“ That’s sweet. “ Jaylin smiled. “ It’s good that your father was in your life. There’s such a stigma against the black man in his own damn community. “
“ Tell me about it. “ he shook his head. “ Not all of us have ‘ain’t s**t’ dads. “
“ Amen to that. “ we all agreed.
We gathered in the backyard for the first night of festivities. The smell of the burning wood encircled the yard as everyone laughed and danced. While everyone ravished in plain sight, Vinny and I hid behind the big oak tree that I loved so much. My back was against the bark while he rested in my lap. We looked up at the stars in the sky, enjoying the southern breeze.
“ You close with your dad? “ I asked him, continuing the conversation.
“ Yeah, that’s my idol. “ he rubbed his thumb against the top of my hand. “ He was my first haircut, too. “
“ You didn’t mess him up, did you? “
“ That’s why I’m a perfectionist now. If I pushed his hairline back, he would’ve strangled me. “ we both laughed. “ Whatchu’ see in me, lil’ daddy? “
The question caught me off guard, but I knew the answer already. My cheeks heated. “ Well, it’s many things. I like how we can be kids sometimes and joke around. I love your sense of humor. Your attentiveness. Your attention to detail. Your ambition. Your smile. Your s*x appeal, boy, that s*x appeal. “ I rubbed his bald head. “ I love how you’re not afraid to be different. You don’t follow the crowd, and it shows in everything you do. You’re an original, Vinny, and that’s hard to find these days. “
He gently grabbed my hand, placing it to his plump lips. He sat up, turning around to me and looking into my eyes.
“ 'Lil daddy, you are my future. My comfort. My weakness. I've never been able to show off my affection ‘til I met you. There’s just somethin’ ‘bout you that makes my heart skip a beat. “ he smiled. “ I want to marry you. I want to build a family with you and build a home. I want to give you the world because that’s what you deserve. “
“ I wanna’ show you something. “
I stood up, reaching for his hand and pulling him from the grass. We began walking back towards the house, but walked around and into the garden room. I was glad my grandmother still kept this place in mint condition. It was always my favorite.
“ Amazing. “ he looked up at the large Magnolia Tree. The moonlight shined through the panels of glass, reflecting that familiar blue aura.
He gently pulled at the base of my t-shirt, lifting it over my head and tossing it to the side. He picked me up, placing me on the wooden table and attacking my lips. He caressed my body, his warms hands making me feel more comfortable by the second. I pulled his t-shirt off, exposing his sculpted torso. I moved my fingers along his chest, tracing his tattoos. I reached down and unbuttoned his pants. They dropped from his waist to the floor with ease, revealing his thick member ready to be attended to.
“ Come on, lil’ daddy. “ he danced, causing his d**k to jump. I laughed, jumping off the wooden table, and removing my clothes. He immediately picked me up, laying me down on the mound of black soil before sliding inside of me. “ Damn, that s**t wet. “
He stroked me. He stroked me good. He was hitting places I didn’t know I had. I was marking my territory, scratching up his back and biting down on his neck. He kissed my body, not breaking his rhythm and giving me everything he had. He opened my legs more, giving him better access to long stroke me. The sound of his d**k driving in and out of my wet hole had us both stuck. We were both staring deeply into each other's eyes. He bit down on his lips to avoid cursing.
“ Whose p***y is this, lil’ daddy? “
“ It’s yours, baby. All yours. “ my fingers were sinking deeper into the soil the deeper he went. I arched my back and he kissed my neck, grunting lowly. “ s**t! “
“ Shh, I think I heard somethin’, girl. “ I heard one of my aunties mumble. But I didn’t want him to stop. And he didn’t. The beam of the flashlight reflected against the glass, but we never broke contact. I could feel his heartbeat throbbing through his d**k, and we were both feeling the same thing. The excitement of getting caught. I reached down, stroking his shaft as he continued to pump in and out of me. He whimpered. “ There it is again. “
“ Where you think it’s comin’ from? “
I licked his plump lips, pulling him closer to me. He smiled, pulling out and swiftly pushing me to my side. He lied behind me, putting his chest to my back and sliding himself back inside. I gripped his ass as he snacked his arm around my neck, pulling me gently back to him. He stroked me slowly.
“ You like that s**t, dontchu’? “ he growled.
The beams of the flashlight got closer and closer. I began to meet his strokes, throwing it back on him. He stopped, allowing me the full control to please him. He reached around, stroking my d**k as I continued to stroke him. We both tried hiding our moans, the intensity growing stronger through the garden room. My body tensed up the closer I got to releasing, naturally tightening my walls around his d**k. He shuddered, stroking me again and biting down on my neck to stifle his moans as he shot off his warm load inside me. But I wasn’t done. I grew closer and closer and closer to the edge until his hand brushed perfectly over the head of my d**k, sending my liquids soaking the sticky soil.
“ I don’t hear it no more. “ my aunt spoke. Their footsteps crunched against the leaves as they walked away, our faint breathing becoming audible again.
“ Fuuuuuuuuckkkk. “ he exaggerated, pulling out of me and shooting off one last load. “ The f**k are you doin’ to me, lil’ daddy? “
“ You? Whatchu’ doin’ to me? “ I sat up, dusting the soil away from my body and sliding off the dirt mound. “ That was exciting. “
“ Damn you. “ he giggled, still stuck in a trance.
I walked over to the water hose, turning it on and letting the water cleanse my body. Vinny followed, looking down at me as I washed the dirt away from his body. He even let me wash between his butt cheeks.
“ That alone should let you know how I’m rockin’. “ he kissed my lips, grabbing the hose and placing his finger over the outpour, strengthening the stream of the water. I ran as he chased me.
“ Who in there? “ a firm male voice spoke. We rushed to turn the water off, putting our clothes on and running towards the house.
