“And I would assume that you want a tip, don't you?”
“Of course.”
“Then please make my baby a nice, strong, knock-you-on-your-ass Long Island Iced Tea. As a matter of fact, make me one, too.”
Lexi smiled. “Damn, I wish I was going home with you. Young, drunk, and packing. Scorpio knows she needs to share.”
I laughed and so did Lexi. When she walked away to make our drinks, I turned around to watch Scorpio on the dance floor. She was making every effort to leave some breathing room between herself and Marcus, but he was really trying to push up on her. I could see how uncomfortable she was, but it was up to her to walk away from the situation. Soon his hand lowered and touched her ass. That was disrespecting me, so I took a few steps away from the bar and tried to control myself. I watched as Scorpio moved his hand and then stepped backward. Whatever she said to him, he defensively held out his hands and she walked away. I saw her looking around for me, so I quickly turned and sat back at the bar. Lexi put the Long Island Iced Teas in front of me, and I gave her a fifty-dollar bill.
“Keep the change,” I said. She thanked me and stuffed the money in her bra.
When Scorpio walked up, my back was to her. She wrapped her arms around me and whispered in my ear. “Are you ready to go home?”
I turned my head slightly to the side. “After I finish my drink, we can go. I got you one, too, so have a seat and finish yours.”
Scorpio sat next to me, still looking a bit uncomfortable. She sucked on the straw and cleared her throat.
“This is too, too strong.”
I took a sip from her drink. It was strong, but I lied. “Please, woman, that is the weakest drink I've ever tasted.”
She took another sip, and then another. And by the time we got ready to leave, I was fucked up and so was she.
“Baby, who gon' drive?” I said, wobbling to my feet.
“For damn sure, not you. Give me the keys,” she ordered.
“Girllll, your eyes are watered down. I bet you can't even see.”
“Shane, I'm fine. Yes, I'm tipsy, but I think that I can handle getting us home a whole lot better than you can.”
She reached in my pockets for the keys. Copping a feel, she grabbed my dick and squeezed it.
It tickled, so I laughed. “Ay, don't play, a'ight?”
“Where are the keys?” She laughed. She then reached into my back pockets for them. And unable to resist, she gathered my butt in her hands. I was all smiles, but she still didn't have the keys.
“Would you tell me where the keys are so we can go?” she pleaded.
I moved in close to her and put my arm around her waist. I then leaned into her ear, licked my lips, and whispered, “You gotta unzip my pants and dig down real deep. Once you get to that point, I'll direct you to the keys.”
Scorpio moved in closer to me. I stood with a seductive, yet serious look on my face, but she turned away with embarrassment. Seeing that I wasn't playing about her dipping into my pants, she looked down and unzipped my pants. She maneuvered her way through the slit in my boxer shorts and massaged my head. Instantly, my dick grew larger, and she stroked it up and down.
“Which direction shall I go next?” she asked.
I closed my eyes, and my head spun. “You're on the right path. Stay right there, and I'm sure the keys will pop up soon.”
Scorpio cracked up and removed her hand. “I'm sure that if I keep at it, the keys won't be the only thing that pops up.”
After she zipped my pants, I reached for my keys, which had been, the whole time, in my back pocket. I dangled them in Scorpio's face, and she snatched them out of my hands. She then took me by the hand.
“Come on. Let's go. You've teased me enough for one night.”
I followed behind her as she made her way to the door. When we got to my Lexus, I opened the passenger's side door for her to get in.
“No, Shane. There's no way in hell that I'm going to let you drive. Get in and allow me to drive, please.”
I was in no condition to argue with Scorpio. She did seem a bit more sober than I was, but I really wasn't sure. My house was only several blocks away, so I didn't anticipate us getting into any trouble.
Of course, that thought was short lived. No sooner had Scorpio pulled off the parking lot than she almost hit a parked car in the rear. I told her to pull over, but she kept on driving.
“I told you that I got this, damn,” she slurred.
My heart raced, because driving a few blocks or not, neither of us was in the appropriate condition to drive. All I could do was close my eyes and pray that we made it home safely.
JAYLIN

I was lying in the dark on Shane's couch, knocked out, until I heard the front door swing wide open. I looked up and saw Shane and Scorpio, blasted, as they came in, slamming the door behind them. They were so messed up, and I don't think they even saw me.
“Shhh, sh, sh, shhh.” Shane laughed, while placing his arm around her shoulders.
“Your drunk butt is the one who needs to be quiet,” she whispered.
She removed Shane's arm from around her shoulders and made her way to his bedroom. Barely able to stand, he leaned against the wall and looked in her direction.
“Gimme that,” he sung out loudly. “Girl, gimme that, um, um ...”
Scorpio burst into laughter, and so did Shane. They played around in the hallway for a moment and then went into Shane's bedroom. I heard nothing but laughter, and after a while, things got quiet. When the door squeaked, I certainly knew what time it was.
Since I'd gotten plenty of sleep, I felt well rested. I reached for the lamp and turned on the light. I still had on my wrinkled shirt, so I pulled it off and laid it beside me. I undid the button on my pants and unzipped them. Thinking hard about Nokea, I looked at the clock on the wall, and it showed almost 2:00
A.M.
I got up, poured myself another drink, and then lay back on the couch. After taking a few sips from the glass, I reached for the cordless phone and held it in my hand. I dialed home, waiting for Nokea to answer. Almost immediately, she picked up.
“Did I wake you?” I asked. She didn't respond, but I knew she was still on the phone. “Nokea?”
“Where have you been?”
“I've been at Shane's place. I was arrested yesterday, and after Frick got me out of jail, I chilled overnight in a car and then came to Shane's place to get some rest. I wanted to call you sooner, but I knew you'd be upset with me.”
“So, I guess you decided to take matters into your own hands and not leave well enough alone, like I asked you to do?”
“Baby, you don't understand. I can't let nobody come into our lives and try to destroy what weâ”
Nokea got loud. “No, Jaylin! You don't understand! I need you here with me and our children! At a time like this, leaving me was the worst thing you could've done. It's like you ... you enjoy going back to St. Louis. If St. Louis is where you want to be, then stay there!” Her voice cracked. “I can't do this anymore. I can't!”
“Baby, please don't say that. You know that I want to be there with you. Maybe coming here was a big mistake, but I felt the need to come here and get this bullshit under control.”
“So, is that what you did? You got everything under control? By getting arrested, it's obvious you lost control.”
“Yes, I did. But more than anything, I gave Felicia exactly what she deservedâa good ass kicking.”
Nokea was quiet, and then she spoke up. “I hope you're proud of yourself. And when all is said and done, I assure you that you're going to regret taking matters into your own hands. I just hope and pray that your stupid mistake doesn't affect your children in any way.”
I frowned, and Nokea knew that mentioning my kids was a sore spot. “What's that supposed to mean?”
“Since you have all of the answers, you figure it out. I'm too tired to even discuss this anymore.”
We sat silently on the phone for several minutes.
“Nokea?”
“What is it, Jaylin?”
“I love you. I know that you may not understand my actions, but just know that my actions were because of my love for you. I can't come home yet, because I have to be in court on Monday. If the judge doesn't consider me a flight risk, which I'm sure he probably won't, I'll be back home right after court is over. In the meantime, I was hoping that you'd catch a flight out of Miami tomorrow andâ”
“I have to see about
our
children, Jaylin. You got yourself into this mess, and it's only fair that you do whatever you have to do to get yourself out.”
“Can't you ask Nanny B to watch them for a few days? I'm positive that she won't mind.”
“I will do no such thing. I'll just see you
whenever
you get back.”
There was silence again. I stared at the ceiling and then closed my eyes. I was hurt because Nokea had rarely spoken to me in such a cold manner. I knew she was still upset about the CD and losing the baby, so I tried my best not to say the wrong thing to her.
“It would be nice to hold you in my arms, but I understand how you feel. However, our marriage vows said for better or worse. We're having a little down time right now, but I know things will get better. Right now, a li'l âI love you, too, Jaylin' would mean everything in the world to me, and I need some hope. Again ... I love you, Nokea. Always have and always will.”
Again, there was silence. I wasn't saying nothing else until she spoke up. Soon after, she did. “I love you, too, Jaylin. But this time, you have to work this out on your own.”
“Will do,” I said, listening to the dial tone.
I sat up and placed the cordless phone on the table. I knew that I had my work cut out for me, and the faster I got myself out of this mess, the better. I couldn't wait until later so I could talk to Frick about my case. Hopefully, he'd have good news for me.
Ready to shut it down again, I reached over to the lamp and turned it off. I picked up the glass of Rémy from the table and held it in my hand. Needing a comfortable bed to lie in, I made my way down the hallway to the guest room. As I neared Shane's bedroom, I heard soft moans coming from inside. The door was slightly cracked, and I knew Scorpio's moans like the back of my hand. She sounded overly excited, and just for the hell of it, I stood outside the door and listened.
For a while, I didn't hear anything from Shane. And since my curiosity got the best of me, I slowly moved my head, peeking through the cracked door. I took a few more sips from my glass, and even though the room was dimly lit, I caught a glimpse of Scorpio as she lay naked on her back. Her head was damn near hanging off the bed, and her thighs were resting high on Shane's shoulders. His face was buried between her legs, and by the sounds she made, it was obvious that he was sucking her correctly. Her eyes were closed, and she bit down on her bottom lip.
“Ohh, babyyyy,” she moaned while holding his head in place. I could hear the slurps and watched as he not only worked her pussy with his tongue but massaged her breasts at the same time. “Shaaaaane, I ... I'm coming, baby! I'm about to cummmm again!”
Scorpio's eyes popped wide open, and I'll be damned if they didn't connect with mine. After having an orgasm, she stared directly at me for a few seconds. Shane lifted his head, and she rolled on top of him. Before going down on him, she made eye contact with me, closed her eyes, and then placed his dick into her mouth. No doubt, she worked him well. I watched her take him to the back of her throat and listened to him give his approval. When she opened her eyes, they looked in my direction again. I was still standing there, taking in every moment of the festivities that I could. My dick was rock-solid hard, and even though I didn't feel good about watching, my feet wouldn't move.
Scorpio knew she had my attention. And once the head job was over, she straddled Shane's lap to ride him. Her rhythm was on key with his, and that kind of connection came only with constant practice. After being ridden very well, Shane decided to step it up a notch. He aggressively turned Scorpio on her stomach. She laid her head on the pillow and hiked her nicely shaped ass up a bit so he could straddle her from behind. That was one of my favorite positions with her. I loved to watch her ass smack against my thighs, and the feel of her insides was like no other. I shot the remainder of the Rémy down my throat and squeezed my eyes together. When I opened them, I witnessed Shane tearing it up. Both of their bodies dripped with sweat, and enjoyment showed on their faces. Scorpio gave me one last look and then turned her head to the other side. Her moans got louder, and that was when I walked away from the door. I went into the guest room and closed the door. Feeling awfully horny, I stripped naked and made my way to the shower. I turned on the cold water and let it run down on me for as long as I could. Once my dick calmed down, I got in bed. I wanted to make love to Nokea so badly that I thought about saying to hell with this case and going home. Instead, I reached for the phone and called her again. This time, she didn't pick up until at least the fifth or sixth ring.
“Did I wake you again?” I asked.
“No. I can't sleep.”
“Then what took you so long to answer the phone?”
“I was sitting outside on the balcony, thinking.”
“Good thoughts or bad thoughts?”
“I'd rather not say.”
“Well, I was lying here thinking, too. My thoughts were good, though. Would you like for me to tell you how good they were?”
“I'm almost one hundred percent sure that I know what your thoughts were all about.”
I cracked a tiny smile, as my wife knew me all too well. “Yeah, they were about making love to you, but that's because I miss you. Don't you miss me?”
“Of course I do, Jaylin. I just wish like hell you would have listened to me, that's all. More than anything, I'm seriously worried.”
“There's nothing for you to worry about. I promise to work this out, and from now on, whatever you say goes. Okay?”
Nokea chuckled. “Yeah, right. The man I married doesn't listen to anybody. And even though what you said sounds really good, I know better. You listen to no one.”
Nokea's chuckle made me smile again. “Naw, for real. I wouldn't lie to you. I swear. From this moment on, I will listen to everything you tell me to do.”
“Jaylin, you are just saying that because your behind is in hot water. Besides, I don't want a husband who takes orders. I'd like for you to compromise with me and not run off like you did. If you can promise me that, then we'll be okay.”
“I promise,” I said, yawning.
“Good. Now get some rest and hurry back home. I need you.”
I placed my hand over my dick. “Shit, I need you, tooâbadder than a motherfucka. You should see and feel how hard my dick is. A li'l dirty talk to your husband sure would be nice.”
“Do I look or sound like a phone sex specialist to you?”
“You are a phone sex specialist. But your services are for my pleasure only. Besides, don't be on this phone pretending like that thang ain't over there wet and missing me, woman.”
Nokea chuckled again. “As a matter of fact, it's dry as a bone.”
“Well, as soon as I see you, you better believe I'm gon' take care of that little problem for you. I wish that I could take care of it now, but I guess the thoughts of me sliding my hardness into that pussyâ”
“Jaylin, please. I think it is so tacky for two people to sit on the phone and indulge in such conversation. Besides, I'm too mad at you to get wet. And, too darn sleepy.”
I was tired, too, and yawned again. “All right, Miss Tacky. Get some sleep, and I'll call you later to let you know how things went.”
“Don't forget. And, before you go to bed, I was thinking about making love to you when you called. My insides stay moist whenever I think of you, and it's not the dirty talk that turns me on, but the man himself that does.”
“That's my girl.” I smiled. I blew Nokea a kiss over the phone, and she returned the love. I felt so much better and pulled the covers over my head so I could get some rest. Hopefully, I'd be able to see my family soon.
