Dave smiled and said, “All right, that's what's up. You're still the man, Joel ... often imitated, but never duplicated.” He stood up and did that half-hug handshake thing with Joel. He looked at Erin and Kenya and said, “It was a pleasure, ladies.”
They waved good-bye and the girls followed Joel downstairs toward the fire level. Joel said good night to all of the familiar faces in the crowd. He got dirty looks from a few guys in the crowd. It's hard for haters to hide their emotions.
When they reached the earth level Joel heard a guy yell, “There he is right there, Spank.”
Renee's cousin appeared out of nowhere and blocked Joel's path. Joel could feel the familiar underlying beat of that negative force that was determined to disrupt his rhythm. He wasn't too worried because nothing violent ever happened in Club One. Their security was tight. But Erin and Kenya were terrified. Kenya had been trained in self-defense, but that was in a classroom setting with friendly instructors, and these were thugs from the mean streets of Bodymore, Murdaland—the second deadliest city in the nation. It was kind of obvious that something was about to go down. There was frantic movement in the crowd. People started moving the hell out of the way.
Spanky looked at Joel with a mischievous grin and said, “What's up, Joel?”
Joel returned the same grin and said, “What's up, Spanky?”
Spanky's grin dissolved and was replaced by a troubled look. He mean-mugged Joel, looking him up and down. “Nah, I mean, what's really up with you, nigga?”
Joel didn't take Spanky seriously at all. He laughed in his face and said, “Man, get your little ass out of my way. Me and my girls are trying to get outta here.”
“Y'all ain't going nowhere. You left my cousin for these bitches and you disrespected my aunt this morning. Don't nobody diss my fam like that and expect not to get dealt with.”
Joel was serious now. “Yo, you better watch your mouth. Don't you ever in your worthless-ass life call these women out of their names.” Joel paused for a moment and looked at the two guys with Spanky. They gave him looks that let him know that they had Spanky's back. Joel turned his attention back toward Spanky and said, “Look, you don't know what you're talking about. I'm outta here. C'mon y'all.”
Joel walked right through Spanky just like he wasn't even standing there. Erin and Kenya followed Joel's path.
Spanky let Joel get away with knocking him out of the way, but when Erin and Kenya walked by he said, “You can go, but this one is staying with me.”
Spanky grabbed Erin and everybody could see the instant look of fury in Joel's eyes. He was the nicest guy anybody could meet, but when somebody got on his bad side he was an unstoppable raging maniac. Within a second Joel unleashed a knockout punch that landed on Spanky's jaw. Everybody within twenty feet heard a loud crack and then saw Spanky fall to the floor.
Joel looked at Spanky's boys and yelled, “Now what the fuck are y'all gonna do?”
They looked puzzled. They wanted no part of Joel because he was obviously a good fighter. He took their boy out in a matter of seconds with one punch. And they didn't know how to fight without their guns.
For a brief moment everything came to a standstill and then the bouncers appeared. They grabbed Joel by both of his arms. Before Joel lost it again, one of the bouncers said, “Hold on. Calm down. It's okay, Joel. We got you, brotha.” They took him aside.
The other bouncer said, “That was our fault. We never should have let their asses in here, especially the one you knocked out. Go home and we'll take care of him and everything else. He's going to jail tonight ... believe that.”
One of Spanky's boys was all up in the mix. He said, “That's bullshit. That nigga hit Spank. My man didn't even do nothing. Plus, he on probation ... he can't go to jail.”
The bouncer said, “He's going to jail tonight for assaulting that woman. And if you don't shut the fuck up you're going with him.”
Spanky's boy said, “I'm leaving, but this ain't over. Believe that.”
The bouncers were actually off-duty Baltimore city policemen. Joel didn't see the need, but the officers wanted to ensure his and the girls' safety by escorting them to the parking lot. They made it to Joel's truck safely and Spanky ended up in central booking with a broken jaw.
Chapter 25
T
he majority of the ride home was silent—no music or conversation. The silence amplified the sounds of the Jeep Cherokee's air conditioner, the engine and the tires. On a more personal level it was as if Joel, Erin and Kenya could hear their own heartbeats and breathing. Joel was still angry as hell and had a hard time cooling down. At one point he gripped the steering wheel so tightly that it seemed like he was about to rip it apart. At another point he pounded his fists against the steering wheel. He became increasingly frustrated the more his mind replayed the confrontation with Spanky.
Erin and Kenya had never seen this side of Joel before. They wanted to comfort him, but didn't know where to begin. An uneasy feeling moved between the three as their eyes drifted aimlessly back and forth. The pale green lighting of the dashboard's instrument panel gave each of their faces an unnatural, eerie appearance in the ashy darkness of night.
Joel noticed that his door was slightly ajar. He opened it while going sixty-five miles per hour and then closed it quickly. The sound of the door slamming startled Erin. Joel knew that he scared her. Somehow the incident changed his mood, and he tried not to laugh at Erin. Joel looked at Kenya, and they grinned. Then Erin smiled, too.
Joel laughed and said, “I'm sorry, Erin. I didn't mean to scare you by opening my door like that.” He looked over his shoulder and asked, “I didn't scare you, Kenya, did I?”
She made a funny face and said, “Not with the door. You scared me when you started beating up the steering wheel though.”
They all laughed.
Joel said, “Sorry about that.” He turned his attention toward Erin and asked, “Did you think I was about to jump outta here or something when I opened the door?”
Erin shrugged, smiled and said, “I didn't know what to think. You weren't acting like yourself. I guess you're better now, huh?”
“I'm all right.”
Erin said, “I wasn't going to say anything about the way you were acting until we got home, and then I was going to ask you to take out all of your frustration on me.” She reached out and touched his arm. “Oh my God, you're so sexy when you're mad.”
Kenya laughed and said, “It's more like a scary, intimidating kind of sexiness ... if that makes sense at all.”
Erin said, “You got it right. That's why people should never underestimate guys with easygoing personalities. Y'all are the worst kind to deal with, because you take so much until you eventually boil over.”
With a giggle in her voice Kenya said, “Tell me about it. Joel knocked that dude out cold.”
Joel said, “I know, and he deserved it.”
Erin said, “Yeah, he did. He had the nerve to refer to us a Bs.”
“Yeah, that pissed me off. I kind of wish I could have handled things better and avoided feeding into his negativity. I don't regret what I did, but the whole thing is embarrassing when I think about it. All those people seeing me lose it like that. I can't ever go back to that club again.”
Erin said, “None of us can go back there again. Do you have any idea how much attention we drew tonight?”
Kenya said, “A lot.”
“I completely lost it when he put his hands on Erin. But I don't know what I was thinking because I put all of us at risk. Thank God everything turned out in our favor. The bad thing is that it might not be over. Y'all know how it is.”
Kenya said, “It's over. They don't want any trouble from you.”
“And I don't want any trouble from them. I ain't trying to get shot and end up being a damn murder statistic.”
It was a serious topic, but they all laughed.
Erin said, “Don't even think like that. You create your own destiny with your words. What we focus on most, whether good or bad, eventually comes true.”
Joel said, “You're right. I need to take my mind off of what happened with some music.”
Joel had his iPod hooked up to his car stereo. He hit the Play button and then a bangin' beat seemed to come out of nowhere. The new Jay-Z song was playing, and the tempo flowed perfectly with the way Joel was cruising up I-83. Erin reached over and grabbed Joel's right hand. Kenya looked at their connection and felt a little left out. She took note of each of their positions and the significance. Joel was in the driver's seat. As usual, Erin was on his right side—his dominant side. Since Kenya wasn't able to assume her position on his left side, she was in the backseat. She refused to be left out and positioned her hand on top of Erin and Joel's. They unlocked their hands and wrapped their fingers around hers. Kenya played it cool because she knew that there would always be moments when Erin and Joel would unintentionally revert to their primary relationship.
 
Erin and Kenya practically ripped Joel's clothes off as soon as they walked through his front door. He managed to hit the light switch. A lamp came on, and its low wattage bulb provided dim shadowy lighting. Erin and Kenya continued to bombard Joel with attention. They removed his shirt and groped his muscular body like a couple of wild sex-starved groupies. They loved his smooth, dark flawless skin and let him know it by the way they kissed his body. Erin and Kenya treated him like a gladiator or a Zulu warrior who had just returned home from a victorious battle.
Erin said, “Joel, I'm so horny. I need to feel you inside me right now.”
Joel kissed Erin and then kissed Kenya.
Erin said, “C'mon, skip the foreplay ... I'm ready.” She pulled up her dress, slid down her panties and stepped out of them. She leaned over the dinette table with her ass exposed. Erin looked back at Joel while touching herself and said, “C'mon and feel how wet I am.”
Kenya smiled. She stood behind Joel, stroking his dick, getting him nice and hard for Erin. He took a few seconds to slide on a condom. His heart raced because he was excited and more than ready to please. He moved closer with his throbbing hard-on. He took Erin by surprise and plunged deep inside of her. She gasped for air and tried to move forward a little, but there was nowhere to go. He forced her to stand there and take every inch of him. He held steady for a minute so she could enjoy the deep penetration as well as the stretching sensation his big dick created. Kenya remained right behind Joel's remarkable physique, massaging his shoulders, back, buttocks and balls.
Erin loved the way Joel felt inside of her. She brought her legs together and eventually crossed them to make her pussy feel even tighter. Joel leaned forward and grabbed hold of Erin's breasts. He played with her nipples and kissed her on the back of her neck.
Joel was ready for a position change. He turned Erin around to face him. They kissed as he lifted her off the ground. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. Erin felt Joel's hardness bump against her. She moved herself in an upward motion and then downward so he could penetrate her. She was so wet that she slid right down the shaft of his dick with ease. The stimulation from this angle was very pleasurable to both of them.
Being in the air was exciting to Erin. Joel began to walk around. He continued to fuck Erin as he carried her all the way to his bedroom. She loved riding his dick like this—it showed how strong he was and how much endurance he had. Joel thrust himself in and out while Erin bounced up and down. She rode him until she couldn't take it any longer. Her grip and entire body tightened as she gradually reached her climax.
Kenya stood aside, watching and masturbating. She hadn't even removed her panties. She just slipped her hands inside and let her fingers go to work. When Joel saw what Kenya was doing his erection intensified. Erin screamed out Joel's name and then let out a succession of beautiful orgasmic moans and groans.
Just as they finished, the neighbor who lived below Joel pounded on the ceiling and yelled, “Stop all that fucking noise.”
Joel lay Erin down softly on the bed. He and Kenya laughed at the neighbor. Erin heard the neighbor's complaint and then again she didn't—she felt too much pleasure to care.
Joel kissed Erin on her lips. He removed his condom and wiped himself off with a towel. He was preparing himself for Kenya and she knew it.
With excitement in her voice Kenya said, “Erin, I'm gonna take Joel out into the living room. Do you wanna join us?”
Erin could hardly speak. She was so out of breath that all she could do was mumble, “No ... go ... ahead ... without ... me.” She sighed heavily. “I can't move.”
Joel said, “C'mon. We need you.”
“No ... I'm fine ... right here.”
With a little giggle Kenya said, “Okay, were gonna have fun without you then.”
Erin's voice almost returned to normal. “Go ahead and ... knock yourselves out.”
Kenya said, “All right, we'll be back.”
Tired of talking, Erin moaned, “Uh-huh.”
Erin really wanted Kenya and Joel to stay by her side. She didn't want the two of them venturing off together, discovering something new without her. They were a threesome and that meant they were supposed to experience everything together. The three were beginning to make subtle mistakes. Erin held her tongue. She didn't want to seem jealous or insecure. Within a few minutes, nothing mattered because she was fast asleep. Joel had put it on her real good.
Kenya knew exactly what she was doing. She desired some alone time with Joel to please him with her body, using a more sensuous approach than Erin used. Kenya gladly took Joel by the hand and led him back out into the shadowy living room.
The temperature inside was about to match the steamy nighttime heat outside.
Kenya asked Joel, “You didn't come, did you?”
He laughed and said, “No.”
She replied quickly, “Good.”
“How did you know?”
“I know you and I love your style. You like to hold off on having orgasms.”
“I always say ladies first, because if you're satisfied then so am I.”
Joel meant that from the bottom of his heart. He was an unselfish and affectionate lover who had a deep understanding of the female psyche and physiology. He knew all about fulfilling a woman's intimate wants and needs and he was about to appease Kenya in every way possible.
One touch from Joel awakened millions of Kenya's nerve endings. He made her feel tingly all over. He put his right hand and then his left on her waist. He traced the skin around her panty line with his fingertips.
Joel whispered in her ear, “You're so sexy. You know that?”
Kenya felt a trickle of moisture between her legs. She was so hot and bothered that she couldn't even think straight. All she said was, “Oh, God.”
Joel removed her top and then her bra to reveal her big, beautiful, round breasts. Joel forced Kenya backward against the wall. His neighbor must have fallen asleep with his television on because they could hear it blaring next door. Joel moved his hands up Kenya's brown skin to her breasts. He squeezed them and nibbled on her nipples. Then he took both of his hands and gently slid them up to her neck. He brought his lips up to her neck as well and began to act like a vampire—kissing, biting and sucking.
Kenya said, “Oh, that feels so good. What are you doing to me?”
He caressed her face and said, “It's called seduction.”
Joel's hands kept moving for a minute until he reached her earlobes and the back of her neck. He applied a gentle massaging motion as he kissed her left cheek. He sucked in a breath of air through his teeth that made a sexy hissing sound in her left ear and then did the same on her right side. He dragged his lips across Kenya's face and kissed her lips.
Kenya thought,
How is he able to do things so differently each time and be so good at it?
Kenya was so sexy to Joel that he couldn't resist running his tongue across her teeth as they kissed. Toward the end of their kiss she sucked his tongue and wouldn't let go.
Joel mumbled, “Give it back.”
They laughed.
Joel loved being with two women at once, but this was a welcome change. The only downside to being with Erin and Kenya at the same time was that he felt his attention pulled in different directions and worried about whether or not he was spreading it equally. That was just part of his attentive nature. The last thing he wanted was for either of them to feel neglected. Being with them separately meant that he could concentrate a little better on fully satisfying their individual needs.
Joel and Kenya were completely naked as they eased their way to the floor. Kenya straddled Joel and he propped her up a little higher by moving his legs into an Indian-lotus position. They stared deeply into each other's eyes. Kenya placed Joel's hand on her heart and then she placed her hand on his heart. They synchronized their breathing and their hearts seemed to beat as one. This was a very intimate and powerful energy-sharing position. They kissed again, a kiss that felt eternal. When the kiss ended Kenya arched her back and put her big brown breasts and pointy nipples directly in Joel's face. He began to suck them with purpose and intention, and that really set things in motion. Their hormones, endorphins and neurotransmitters began to peak and rage—creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Kenya hugged Joel's neck and wrapped her legs around him tightly.
