BOMAW Vol. 10-12 (45 page)

She stared at him with tears rolling, once more facing the fact that here was a man she could do nothing with. He simply would not, give her - her way - not entirely. Her mind kept going to Sylvia - things that she said about Shawn. Sheila was right, they were different - he and his brother. Something about these men, the McPhersons - that was startling to a woman. She was breathing hard, watching the play of thoughts flickering in his hazel blue eyes. It was like he was reading her mind, his gaze transfixed on her own, patiently waiting for her to make up her mind. Also there was his hold on her, while he was not as broad in width and build as Shawn, he was solid and strong to the core, the power in his arms, in his body against hers was whipcord dense and firm.

He leaned his face closer to hers, their eyes mere inches apart, so close his lashes could almost brush hers, "If you're gonna be my wife, you're gonna learn something about me. I am not - the kind of man - who tucks tail and runs. You are mine, Vivian Cooke - soon to be, McPherson - and everybody is going to know it." He spoke to her now with a very deep, slow drawl that sounded so much like his father, it made her shiver, "...what they also better know, understand - is one thing I will not abide, and that's messing with my lil'girls. That - includes the doctor. I'm not asking again."

Vivian realized at that very moment, she did not know - Jacob Patrick McPherson.

"Promise me - you'll just talk."

"You want me to lie to you? I will ... sure, I'll just talk."

Her head fell forward and she started crying, "Please Jake."

"Hey, hey... look at me, look at me I said."

She looked up at him, "I'll try - you hear? I'll try to just talk. If it goes beyond that - its because of something he says - or does. Now, I'm done talking about it." He paused a moment more, leaned forward and kissed her, kissed her hard. Vivian couldn't wrap her arms around him because they were banded by her side with his own. One of them moved so that he could cup the back of her head, and moved in deep, his tongue filling her mouth. Her heart was fluttering and tripping in beats so she could barely breathe. His kiss, the power of it, was meant to brand her, show her who the man was, who was in charge, who would be calling what shots. The kiss was all under his control, refusing to let her up for air until it was crucial that she breathe, it was then, he pulled his mouth from hers. Vivian was gasping for air, ears ringing, body quaking, urges lit ... her lips were throbbing.

"You do know, that once we're married, that's it. Because unlike that dick head doctor, who has to let you go - I - never will."

He let her go then, she almost lost her balance falling back a bit, he grab her arms to steady her. "Now pick up this money, write down what I asked for, and uh, I'll be back."

Jake should have known that the hospital Dr. Laek Chan worked in would not be far from the bank. Located on E. Erie st. a huge structure bunched in close proximity with so many others he had a bit of driving around from one street to another to find the parking lot closest to the emergency room. After a bit of consideration, he decided not to park in the parking lot, just in case. Instead, he parked down the way along some homes and hospital dormitories on the way. He really didn't care for Dr. Chan possibly knowing his vehicle or registration, again, just in case.

Entering the emergency doors, he took his time looking around, hoping to spot the doctor right away. The hospital was top of the line, most current on everything from the decor of the waiting rooms, to all the flat screen monitors used by administration. Being that he'd never been shy or reluctant, he continued on, reading the hospital wall directors and followed them onward. As he passed, several persons glanced at him, most women, he immediately turned on his charm, the eyes, the smile. Few could resist it, a young nurse coming from the back corridor, carrying some files - very pretty, petite - black, dark in coloring came through the double doors as he was moving towards them. She looked up at him right away, smiling, Jake tipped his cowboy hat, "Excuse me lil'lady - I have a bit of a problem - I need to speak with a Dr. Chan, you see I've dealt with him before, you wouldn't happen to know where he's working would you?"

"Uh, sure - hang on a second, let me drop these off, you're lucky - its a slow night, not much going on."

"Ah perfect timing then." He drawled.

She couldn't help looking up at him again, thinking how attractive and alluring he was. She dare not show any undue interest, although very tempting, the fact that he knew Dr. Chan, was the - no, better not alarm. They'd been seeing each other for months now, and just recently, they'd grown closer and were becoming more serious; to the chagrin of everyone else, proving them all wrong with what they were saying about him. That he cheated on his wife, was seeing some woman from a bank, while he'd been hitting on another nurse that had transferred to another clinic because of the lies he'd been telling her. She knew that there were two sides to every story, people were stupid and jealous, mad because he wanted her, a young attractive black woman, over the few white nurses that had been coming on to him.

She dropped off her files, went into the other room for a moment and then came looking for Jake, "Follow me."

"Don't mind if I do." He flirted.

Talk about temptation - she had to fight it with everything in her, and remember - she was after a doctor, that was a six figure sum man, this one, while he was definitely one hot looking cowboy type, he was probably as broke as they came and was good only for a one night stand. She lead him to the nurses desk and low and behold, who was leaning there, laughing with another doctor, and turned to see Jake, making him almost swallow his tongue.

"Dr. Chan, this man was looking for you, says he knows you." She greeted with a smile.

Laek stood and fought back gulping in as he faced a smiling Jake.

"Dr. Chan, I was telling this young lady that you and I have some business to see to. Considering how private it is, I'm certain you don't want our consultation conducted out here, in front of everyone, do you?" Again Jake smiled, but his eyes told no lies.

Laek stood unsure of what to do, one thing was certain, he didn't want all of his business spewed before his colleagues. Especially not in front of the young nurse he was now sleeping with in every hidden nook and cranny of the emergency ward when they could steal away.

"Ah yes, Jake-..."

"So you remember my name, that's good, helps to save time."

"Yes, ah, follow me." He invited turning and making his way down the hall, his heart hammering in his chest. One consolation, they were in a public hospital, Laek felt secure with that - knowing that at least here, he could call out for help. He wanted this confrontation to go as quietly and gently as possible. He couldn't believe that Vivian had actually given this Jake his work location. It was bad enough that his wife was threatening to come there about financial matters, but he couldn't have both coming there, that would be too much. He lead Jake into one of the empty consultation rooms for viewing X-rays, the moment they crossed the threshold into the room, Laek held the door, letting Jake all the way in first, making sure to stay by the door, he wasn't foolish enough to be caught in the dead end center of the room with no way out except through him, Laek was the first to speak.

"I know why you're here."

Jake turned facing him, "Do you now, doc?"

"I didn't hurt her, I just - shook her up a bit."

Jake stepped a bit closer to him asking, "So then its only fair that I do the same to you, give you that same feeling that you're about to die, with me being the only one knowing if it's so."

"I wouldn't if I were you, you come near me, lay one hand on me - security, the police - will be here in an instant."

"Doc, that instant is all I would need, to snap your neck clean in two."

"Look, I'm done with her now, okay; finished with her! You're welcome to her, I've had my fill, now that she's all worn out and used up, I didn't want her anymore anyway."

Jake laughed at him, "If she's all worn out, you Doc, must have a dick no bigger than my pinky..." Jake lifted it and gave it a wiggle for emphasis, "That's no doubt the reason I've had virgins that weren't as tight as she is, still. In fact, when I leave you, I'll be going at her again, trying to fit myself in." He smiled cunningly.

Laek's face turned to fire, what he thought to use as a jab to his enemy had backfired on him.

"No matter, she was mine first, no man has had her before me, I took her virginity - you can have the rest."

"I thank you doc, I'll take it. See the fact is, as you and I both know, she's like a well built vehicle, you gotta break it in first, before you can enjoy the ride and believe me, I'm breaking it in, and enjoying every mile..." Jake stepped a bit closer, "...so much so doc, that I've decided, I'm gonna keep her. Because of that decision, you have this promise from me. You go near her again, the next time I see you, if I don't kill'yah, I'll leave you wishing I had. I know where to find you. I know where you work. I know how to find your wife, and I know, you don't want everyone out there, to know what a nasty little slug you are, do you? Let's keep our lives simple doc, let's keep it simple." Jake stood staring him down and waiting.

"Are you done now?" Laek asked.

"I don't know, am I? Are you?"

"I'm done, she's yours - and by the way, just so you know it, she's expensive."

"I'm not surprised by that doc, we both know, you get what you pay for."

Jake tipped his hat, opened the door and walked out of the room, sauntering back down the hall, smiling at the ladies at the desk as he strolled by, winking and smiling. They all looked, waiting for him to get out of earshot to comment.

Vivian had worried herself into a frenzy. She'd tried to eat, but couldn't. She'd counted the money he threw at her, five times, in total disbelief that he had $800.00 dollars on him and gave it to her, she wondered had he some how taken out a loan? She'd taken all of the stuff out of the bags, unwrapping the pictures, ornaments, candle holders, candles, silk flowers, vases, everything and placed them around the apartment to add the warmth it needed, anything to burn off the anxious energy. When she was done, it was a vast improvement. She kept fighting down calling Jake on his mobile while wishing he would call her. In the end, after all was done but wait, she went to take a shower. Standing in the spray of it, she took her time washing her body down, she may have been in it for possibly fifteen minutes when she froze hearing someone in the apartment, and then, in the bathroom.

"Jake?"

His deep voice came back to her, "Yeah."

She could see him through the blurred glass of the shower door, he opened it, standing there, looking at her.

"Everything - okay?" She asked hesitantly, feeling shy about her body, trying to shield it from his eyes.

He lifted his fist, "No busted knuckles, see."

"So you met him, talked to him?"

He was undressing down to his briefs, "Yep, I did."

"And?"

"Hopefully he got the message. I don't wanna talk about him, he's in your past, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm your future, right?"

"Yes."

"Damn right I am, come out of there." He commanded, staring at her dark wet body, he was throbbing already.

Nervous, biting her bottom lip, Vivian turned the water off and stepped out of the shower and into the towel he held up for her. "You see the stuff I bought, I put it out already, you like it? Didn't cost that much." She started up the inane nervous chatter.

"I'll check it out later." He murmured, leaning down kissing her cheek, next to her lips, her chin, then to her neck.

"I - um - that - that money - I - um, put it - away."

"Good ... it's yours ... shop ... do whatever ... you want ... with it." He informed her, still kissing her, now leading her towards the bathroom door, out and to their bedroom.

"That's - a lot - of money ... where ... where'd it ... come from."

He stopped by the bed, pulled the covers back and out of the way and then took the towel from her, Vivian felt faint, her nipples beaded hard and sensitive. He whistled seeing them jut out right before his eyes. "Will you look at them." Ignoring her question, his mouth went straight to one of her nipples. His hand at her back, pulling her closer, up his body. His mouth on her nipple, one hand at her back, the other cupping the cheek of her butt, his finger tips touching the heated moisture at her core.

Vivian was instantly on fire for him, spreading her legs to give him greater access while his tongue flickered at the turgid point, teasing it, driving her mad. She held his head there, biting into her bottom lip, pushing more of her breast at him, her head hanging back, her eye lids fluttering from the aroused madness. Having spent enough time at one breast, he went to the other, giving it that same dedicated devotion. Vivian began whimpering. He lifted her up and laid her on the bed, unable to stop himself, he pushed both of her knees up and dove straight for his favorite place to eat. She knew him, had anticipated it, was pure wet cream when his hot mouth and tongue made contact, causing her to cry out in sweet agony. Her hands went to her head, grabbing her hair, tears rolling from her eyes while this man licked and laved her tender place so she was almost sobbing. He knew what to do with his tongue, knew how far to insert it, knew how close to lick to her clit, knew how to lick around it enough to send her into uncontrollable gyrations at his mouth, knew exactly where to put his fingers on her as well, and knew exactly where to press and when.
