The Pussy Pounders Volume 1 ( A Novella ) (12 page)

Cortez would never forget
the day his whole life changed. One day he was a happy nine year
old...despite being dirt poor, with a mother, father and an older
brother and the next day he was alone. Completely alone. He'd never
forget hearing his parents fighting in rapid Spanish and his mother
crying “ Get rid of him!” his father yelled.

“
I can barely stand to
look at you anymore Ana, you want to know why I drink?Puta! It's
it's because I have to look at your bastard every day! I have to be
reminded every day that the love of my life betrayed me with
another man! Every day Ana! Every day I have to look at your
bastard child Cortez and I wont do it one more day!Even if I beat
him every day it would never be enough. You choose! It's me and
Gabriel or your bastard!” Choose!”

“
Manuel please! Please !
He's innocent! He's innocent” Ana said dropping to her knees and
grabbing him around his legs as she pleaded and begged her husband
for mercy.

Manuel pushed her off of
him

“
Choose! Send him away or
we'll never have peace. I don't care where he goes but I wont grow
old being the village idiot and raising a boy the whole town knows
is not mine. You created these lies Ana!” Manuel said storming out
towards the door.

“
Get rid of him I wont
have him under my roof another night. If you can't get rid of him
you can leave too Ana but Gabriel is my son, my blood and I'll kill
you before I let you have my son.”

“
This is all your fault!”
eleven year old Gabriel said kicking him so hard under the covers
Cortez screamed out in pain. Gabriel began kicking Cortez several
more times until Cortez was lying on the floor battered and
bruised.

“
You're the reason Papi
is so mad all the time! It's all your fault!”

Cortez tried to scream out
for him mother but Gabriel placed his hand around his mouth so
tightly he could barely breath. “ Papi doesn't take care of us
because you're here and you ruined Madre! I hate you! You are not
my brother! You're a bastard! This is all your fault and I'll be
happy your gone so we can be happy!”

Ana came in the boys room
and saw Cortez on the floor crying. Looking back and forth between
her two sons she knew for sure Gabriel had been listening. That was
the type of child he'd always been sneaky and believing his father
walked on water.

“
Cortez come with me.”
Ana said grabbing some of Cortez's clothing and stuffing it into a
bag dragging Cortez with her. She went into the kitchen and threw
together some pork and tortillas so wrap up and grabbed the two
drinks that were left in the barely working
refrigerator.

“
Let's go Cortez!” Ana
said grabbing his hand.

It was pitch dark outside
and they walked under the twinkling stars of an otherwise black
Mexican sky.

“
Where are we going
Madre? Gabriel was so mean,he was kicking me and said I wasn't his
brother. He said I wasn't Papi's son that I was a bastard. What is
a bastard Madre? I heard the word from the kids at school but what
does it mean?”

Ana's heart was breaking
but what can I do? I can't live without Manuel. Maybe he could be a
better man, a good father to Gabriel without Cortez as a reminder
of what I did? She thought trying to hold in her sobs.

“
You are not a bastard!”
she said leaning down to hug Cortez and grabbing his
face.

“
Your name is and will
always be Cortez Luna. Do you hear me? If anyone ask you tell them
your name is Cortez Luna! Do you hear me?”

“
Yes Madre.” Cortez
answered quietly his large brown eyes wide with fear. He was so
confused. All his life his name had been Cortez De La
Cruz?

Ana spotted a group of
men. She already knew they would attempting to cross the border.
Del Rio,Texas after all was a border town and Mexicans crossed all
the time.

“
Cortez follow those men.
Just follow them and go where they go. You're going to go to the
United States and have a better life. I'll join you as soon as I
can but you have to go now. You'll be safe in America. Go now.” Ana
said hurriedly.

Cortez was rooted in one
spot unable to move.

“
No Madre!”

“
Yes! Go! Now Cortez go!”
Ana said pushing him.

“
No! No!” Cortez screamed
over and over.

“
You go... now hijo! Get
out of here! We don't want you any more!” Ana said pushing
him.

Cortez slowly began
walking taking a few steps at a time but stopping and crying the
entire time when Ana began throwing rocks at his back screaming at
him to leave. Yelling she didn't love him and wished he'd never
been born. After walking in complete darkness a few miles not
knowing where he was going, two kind men who had witnessed his
mother throwing him away let him walk with them as they illegally
crossed the border into Texas. He repeated his new name Cortez Luna
the entire walk. He was then abandoned, wandering the streets
homeless and hungry before the Texas authorities picked him up.
Cortez after relaying the events that lead to him crossing the
border became a ward of the state of Texas.

“
We love you Cortez. We're
going to get to the bottom of what he wants because this man has
sent letters and has now shown up to your house. What I would ask
you to do though Cortez is think about if you really want to face
this so you can put it behind you as best you can. I'm not asking
you to think about speaking with him because some of us will never
have the opportunity to do something like this, but because I want
you to be able to get over this. Check it off your list of the what
ifs. Do you understand what I'm saying.”

“
I understand what you're
saying” Cortez said softly.

“
We're your family and we
love you. We're not going anywhere because God brought all four of
us together to be a family. So regardless of what happens should
you decide to speak to him, good or bad.
Your
family is still going to be
here. I dare you to try and take your ass away from us. You can't
even leave state without us Cortez!” Antoinette said
loudly.

Cortez started laughing, “
I know Toni and by the way don't you still owe me money for tagging
along with me when I tried to go to Miami....alone? That ticket was
eight hundred dollars! Do you want me to tell you exactly what I
had to for that eight hundred dollars?” Cortez said slowly turning
around.

“
No Cortez stop!”
Antoinette yelled laughing and cupping her hands over her ears and
jumping out of the bed and running out of the rooming. A few
seconds later she came back and leaned through the doorway, “ I
know your ass is hungry, do you want me to cook you something or
order in?” she asked.

“
Cook! You're getting real
lazy Toni! You know that?” Cortez said fussing and almost back to
his usual, funny,cranky,spoiled demeanor!

After about an hour DeSean excuse
himself to go home. They were shocked to find out he let a woman in
his house and that she was still there...without him!

Antoinette was grumbling the loudest.
“ I don't know who this is you guys but we need to make sure we
meet her and fast. You know DeSean doesn't have girlfriends! I
don't want him getting mixed up with the wrong one.” she said
warily.

“
Put your claws back in
Lioness.” Adam said laughing, “ Cortez said she was cool, he met
her.”

Antoinette rolled her eyes at Adam “
Cortez,does this girl have a big big ass and titties?”

“
Hell yeah she did! Her
body was on point if I do say myself.” Cortez said stuffing another
bite of cake in his mouth. He was hungry waiting on Toni to finish
dinner.

“
You see? That's what
Cortez noticed...her titties and a big ass! That's why we need to
hurry up and met this woman.” Turning back on him to finish
seasoning the chicken. What kinda damn name is Carmen anyways?
That's almost as bad as the new client Carmalita! I think she's
black too from her voice on the phone but you never can tell she
thought. Right before they'd gotten the call from Cortez, Carmalita
Jones had called to confirm her Monday appointment. She sounded
nervous as hell. Then again all of the new clients sounded nervous
until they got some of that good Pussy Pounder dick. Which included
her man's dick she reminded herself groaning inwardly.

Antoinette had been doing the
appointments for the guys about a year now and though she hated it.
They had a steady stream of referrals and their current clients
always came back for more. I'm sure this new lady will be satisfied
with Sean.

***

DeSean

DeSean hurried back home where he
found Carmen sound asleep in his bed. He was glad she was still
there,but even if she had tried to leave she wouldn't have gotten
far. He's snagged her car keys on the way out the door. DeSean took
a shower and slid between the sheets snuggling up to her warm body.
This actually isn't that bad he couldn't help but think. Having the
right person in your bed every night on a regular basis wouldn't be
that bad.

Carmen pulled his arms tighter around
him .

“
How is your friend?” she
whispered.

“
He's not too good tonight
but he'll be OK. I'm glad you're still here.” he said kissing her
neck.

“
Where was I going to go
DeSean? You took my keys.”she murmured sleepily.

DeSean squeezed his eyes shut trying
to hold in his laughter.

“
Night.”

“
Good-night” he said
closing his eyes.

Sunday morning after a round of
morning sex and breakfast,Carmen insisted she had to go home to get
ready for the work week. The exchanged phone numbers and emails
since their first meeting had turned into an entire weekend spent
together.

Carmen had been gone only ten minute
when her cell phone rang.

“
Hello?”

“
I was making sure you
didn't give me the wrong phone number.”

“
You are crazy you know
that? I can't lie though I do kinda miss you already.”

“
That's all I wanted to
hear. Call me when you know what your week is like,even if it's
just to have lunch.” DeSean said.

“
That sounds good. I'll
talk to you later.”

The next morning DeSean spent most of
the morning hanging around the house relaxing. He'd dropped by
Cortez's place to see how he was doing and Adam was pulling up at
the same time. They'd laughing about being great minds thinking
alike. Antoinette called and since they were all there asked to be
put on speaker phone so she could give them all the details of
their Tuesday appointments with Lana and her
girlfriends.

“
If you guys impress these
other two ladies, that's going to be steady money in your pockets
with more referrals to come. Lana actually paid for all three of
your asses ,the courier just left! So the rooms are all ready to
go, they're all on the eighth floor of the Hilton so all three of
you should be knocking on the doors at noon sharp. Sean don't be
late to your new lady today either! I love y'all bye!”

“
Antoinette is a bossy as
hell ain’t she?” Cortez said.

“
How are things working
out between you two? I can't even imagine having a real
relationship doing this. Shit I'm trying to keep my life not lose
my life! You're lucky it's with Toni or it wouldn't work at all.
Still even then I know this shit is hard for her.” Cortez said
leaning back in his chair.

“
I can't even lie man it's
crazy. I feel bad too because I know she's only putting up with it
because she really loves me but I also know it's like at the point
right now where love isn't enough. I've been thinking about
stopping. It's just there's a lot of shit that we still need to
take care of financially,with us getting the club. I don't really
see it happening for at least a year. With all three of us putting
in some serious work with these women for at least another year
until we're settled into the club good. That would be perfect
timing for me. I just don't know how that's gonna work for us,you
know what I mean?” Adam said looking at DeSean.

“
And you over here letting
a woman in your house?
Alone
? So I know you must be feeling
her some type of strong. Have you really thought about how you're
gonna handle that? I mean if the sista is about her business, she
damn sure gonna want to know you're about yours! What are you gonna
tell her?” Cortez asked DeSean.

“
Man, I don't even know
how the shit happened! We just clicked. Strong. She did ask what I
did for a living and I just just her I was basically doing a job I
didn't too much care for but it paid the bills! Then I just glazed
that shit on over and told her about the club. I mean I do like her
but at the end of the day. I've known her three days and ol' girl
ain’t paying none of my bills. So Carmen knows what she needs to
know for now.” Sean said shaking his head.

“
In all seriousness there
is no need for me to go dishing all my dirt to her when I don't
know where it will lead. I really enjoyed her company though and I
want to check her out more. Shit,let me get out of here I have a
new lady at one. Some Mexican lady I guess,her name is Carmalita.”
DeSean said raising up from his chair.
