chapter Twenty-one

No Sleep

Kevin

“Come on, Baby, you have been working too hard, Mariah purrs as she crawls up the foot of the bed.

“And you have been taking care of our son and working just as hard,” I reply with a smirk on my lips. “We should both get some rest,” I tease.

“Kevin Briggs,” Mariah’s face clouds over in feigned anger. “We are fucking tonight.”

I throw my head back and roar with laughter. “I wouldn’t deny you all of this,” I croon and pull the covers back, and off of my erection.

“Good, because I have plans for all nine inches,” Mariah purrs as she settles in between my legs.

I love my wife. I have loved her from the time I first laid eyes on her. Too bad she hated my guts at first. I had fun fucking that hate out of her, though. Just like I am going to enjoy fucking her ass to sleep now.

I chuckle because my wife knows damn well that I am more like ten inches long. But whatever she needs to tell herself so that she can swallow it, so be it. Her little caramel ass is my world. Her and that little man she just gave me a few months ago.

Her chocolate eyes look up at me through her lashes, and I groan as precum spills out over my tip. Just one look, that’s all it takes from this woman. I lick my lips in anticipation, as she plays with me. Lowering her head ever so slowly towards my cock.

When Mariah’s tongue finally makes a long trail up from my balls to the tip, where she collects the precum that slowly runs free, I buck my hips up off the bed. This woman is a master at toying with me. She is the only woman I would ever let play with me like this.

Before Mariah, I was a total control freak in the bedroom. It wasn’t until her that I realized I didn’t want a totally submissive partner. Mariah was not having any of that BDSM bullshit and believe me I tried.

We still have a bit of kink in our sex lives, but Mariah is not going to let me take her into the life. I respect her for it. Besides, little does she know she submits to me just the way I would demand her to if we were in the life. Then again we are talking about my wife, so I’m sure the last laugh is on me.

This is confirmed when she grabs the base of my cock and covers me with her warm mouth. My head falls back against the headboard, and I reach to grab it for leverage. With each bob of her head, I thrust up.

Mariah’s hold on my base gets tighter, and I groan out in pleasure. I know she is going to prolong this as long as possible. She is sucking me deep and hard for I don’t know how long when she allows me to pop free from her mouth, and she reaches for her top drawer on the nightstand.

I chuckle and shake my head because I know what she is going for. The blowjob is about to get really nasty. Mariah lifts to her knees and wiggles her breasts in my face. I grin and capture her by her hips, dragging her body closer and pulling one of her nipples into my mouth.

She moans and her head falls back. While she is distracted, I run my hand up her ribs, to the hand holding the bottle of strawberry caramel flavored pleasure oil. I pry it from her fingers, and she whimpers and pouts.

“Why should you have all the fun,” I ask with a lifted brow.

“Because you taste so good. Come on, Baby, let me finish what I started,” she pleads in a sexy ass husky voice.

“Nope, not tonight,” I grin back at her. I pop the bottle open a tilt it over her erect nipple. Mariah has huge fudge colored nipples. I never knew such a thing could be a turn on, but on her it is. “I think Jr. needs a sibling. I’m going to eat you up tonight and then fuck a baby right into you.”

“Humph, I’ll take the fucking, Kev, but you can keep the baby,” Mariah smirks at me.

“We’ll see,” I mutter and pull her tight bud into my mouth.

Mariah arches her back and cries out. I run my hand through the excess oil and reach to pinch her other nipple. I hiss when I feel her straddle my lap to rub her wet pussy against my hard dick.

Running my fingers through more oil, I make a trail up to her neck and over her chin, to her lips. Mariah opens her mouth without prompting, sucking my fingers into her warm cavern and moaning around my fingers.

I cup the breast I am sucking on and swirl my tongue around it. The flavor of my wife mixed with strawberry and sweet salted caramel bursts in my mouth. She tastes so good.

I push her onto her back and reach for the oil I had placed beside me to pour more across her belly and down between her legs. Closing the oil, I toss it aside once again. I look down into her chocolate brown eyes with my hazel-green ones.

“Have I told you how much I love you lately,” I rasp.

Mariah smirks and shakes her head wordlessly. She knows what is coming. This is something she looks forward too.

“Well, let me fix that, pretty girl,” I say with a grin.

I dip my head to her belly and lick a path from her belly button to the underside of her breast. Mariah runs her hand over my hair and sings praises that echo off the walls.

I spend a little more time driving her crazy before I move down to settle between her legs. I pry her pussy legs open and start to tell her the words she wants to hear with my tongue. I spell each letter out into her warm, wet pussy before I suck her into my mouth and tell her all over again.

“Oh Kev, I love you too,” Mariah screams as she comes apart for me.

I tell her I love her with my mouth one more time as I lap her up. When I’m done, I lift up on my knees and wipe my mouth with the palm of my hand. I lick my lips for good measure.

I get ready to cover her body with mine, but Mariah has other plans in mind. She shakes her finger at me and lifts up lazily as she is still recovering from her orgasm. I smile and fall back into the position I started in. Just when I think she is going to finish what she started, she straddles my lap and places her hands on my shoulders.

I sink into her deeply as she slides down my firm erection. There is nothing, and I mean nothing like having the woman you love, ride you hard as you thrust into her firmly. Mariah does just that. I cup one of her ass cheeks in one hand and grab for the headboard with the other.

“Yes Kev,” Mariah purrs. “So good.”

I watch as she bites her lip. A clear sign that she is lost in me. I want her more than lost. I want her totally gone. I lean forward and wrap my lips around her nipple and circle it a few times with my tongue before flicking it.

I feel the moment she gushes around me. Knowing my wife is sated, I allow myself the same pleasure. I thrust up into her twice more and come with a roar.

“Fuck, I needed that,” I mutter after catching my breath.

“You and me both,” Mariah replies drunkenly. A few moments go by before she speaks again. “Damn Baby, this is some crazy shit. Nick has two brothers. One that’s identical and one that’s not.”

It is a statement, not a question. I have been repeating the same thing in my head over and over again. There are so many pieces to this. Brooklyn has flown out to New York to talk to Sam to smooth things over for Liam’s return.

Joe has gone to his FBI connect to see if they can locate Liam’s original case. Then maybe clear some of this shit up that Nick is being framed for. I swear it is like those guys never talk to each other.

I have always felt so guilty about not protecting Nick and Ivana better. Even after finding out that Ivana had betrayed us all. I felt like I should have seen her coming and protected Nick better.

I won’t make that mistake again. I am grateful for men like Winston on my team. Having Brooklyn here for the last few months hasn’t hurt either. I hold Mariah tighter as I think of how Nick could have lost Sephora today.

Sometimes I wonder if I am being selfish in running the restaurants and not heading up Nick security full time, the proper way. I am always plugged in, but I could be doing this better.

“Stop beating yourself up. Even if you didn’t have the restaurants and you ran the team twenty-four seven, you wouldn’t have known to look for this,” Mariah yawns. “You are an amazing man, Kevin. I am in awe of you every day. You take care of Nick and his family, and you take care of and provide for your own. I couldn’t ask anything more of you. I will tell you one thing, though, that Sephora is amazing.”

Leave it to my wife to read my mind. I am grateful to have her in my life. She has been the one to ground me. I don’t think I would be able to handle it all if not for her.

“Let’s get you cleaned up,” I slip from beneath Mariah and head for the bathroom to clean off and return with a warm cloth to clean her up as well.

I chuckle when I find my wife knocked out in the middle of the bed. I clean her up and tuck her in. On cue, Kevin, Jr.’s cries pipe through the baby monitor. I pull on a pair of sweats and grab my phone. I don’t need to check to know it is just around seven in the morning.

We really should have taken our asses to bed. Still, I have a satisfied grin on my face as I make my way to my son. Just as I reach KJ’s door, my phone starts to ring. I look down to see it is my cousin Jasper and smile. I love this kid.

I tuck the phone between my shoulder and ear as I walk to the crib and reach in to rub Kevin Jr.’s tummy. “Hey Cous, what’s going on,” I answer with a smile on my lips.

I hear Jas groan as KJ starts crying again. I chuckle knowing he is not used to me having a little baby yet. He probably forgot. I don’t blame him I never saw this for me at this point in my life either, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

“I’m sorry, Kev. I’ll call back at a better hour,” Jas says into the phone.

“There is no better hour around here. Jr. and I are just doing a little bonding while Mariah gets some sleep. Nick has her back to work already,” I chuckle.

“How is Nick,” Jasper asks.

“Nick is his usual moody self, but with reason at the moment,” I snort.

“Is everything okay? Is there something I can do?” Jasper offers.

“It’s nothing that isn’t being handled already,”

I shift reaching to pick Jr. up as he starts whimpering again, causing his cries to get closer to the
phone.
I kiss the top of my son’s head to calm him.

“I just wanted to talk. It can wait,” Jasper offers.

“Jas, just spit it out already. You know I always have time for my little cousin. Come out with it. What’s up,” I coo at Jr. some, before falling silent to offer a listening ear.

Jas sighs. “I always looked up to you and Nate. I mean Nate started his own business, and you opened the restaurants. You guys never let the business take over your lives,” Jasper starts.

I guess I am not the only one having second thoughts tonight. Mariah’s words ring in my ears. It is not an easy thing, being a Briggs.

I snort into the phone. “I don’t know about all that. Where is this coming from?” I know Jasper is one of the best in the family. He and Rita had surpassed all expectations. Great things have always been expected of the two.

“I’m ready to start a family, and I want to be there for them. Granted I haven’t been out on a major assignment for about a year now but what if that changes,” Jas sighs. “I want to be with my wife and kids.”

“I hear you, but it’s a part of the job,” I say and shrug.

“That’s just it. You walked away and started your own successful business. I could too. I just…,” Jas huffs into the phone. “I’m not whining about it. Briggs Security has fed me all my life, and I have a pretty nice house that I’m getting ready to turn into a home for my family. I want for nothing honestly.”

“You just want to be your own man,” I chuckle, totally understanding my little cousin. “I get it. I was there.”

“Yeah, I guess that is a part of it,” Jas replies.

“No matter what job you have you are going to have to go out there and make things happen for your family. That could keep you away for hours as well. I think I put in as much time into the restaurants as I would have at Briggs California branch,” I muse and it is the honest truth.

“Do you ever regret walking away,” Jas asks.

I sigh into the phone. “Who says I did,” I ask. I know Jas has no idea that I still work for Nick. I hear the frustration in his next words and settle in to tell my little cousin the truth.

It was the hardest decision of my life. I wanted to make my father proud, but I had dreams of my own. I guess that is why I am taking all of this with Nick so hard. I own him so much, as a friend and a business partner. Nick was there for me during a major crossroads in my life.

Everything with his family and Ivana had already gone down, but Nick still had my back when he saw I was warring with what I wanted to do with my life. I had already felt like I failed him and I know when he first found out who I was he felt betrayed, especially off the back of Ivana’s betrayal.

Nick actually took a whole two weeks to sort out how he felt about everything. I had made the decision to reveal myself and to this day I’m glad I did. Nick is one of my best friends. I value his friendship more than he will ever know.

“Nick may have given me the money to start the first few restaurants, but that wasn’t the only thing he gave me. Jas, you have to understand that Nick didn’t know I was his bodyguard for years.
