I nnvy

In Dallas

I hadn’t been able to stop smiling all weekend. At the last minute, my assistant’s daughter got sick, so she couldn’t come to the vender event. Bully offered to take her place, and as hesitant as I was to have him as my helper, I agreed. There were five hundred people registered for the expo, and I knew not every one of them would come to my table. Well, I was in for a rude awakening, because word had started to circulate about Innvious and how we’d gone viral last fall, so I had a constant line of people.

Bully was so present and sociable. He was so fine I knew some women came to the table just to see him. Not one person who walked by, looked over, or expressed interest was able to leave without being swayed to buy something because of him. He handled the cash register while I did demos, packed orders, and answered questions. We were truly a team, truly partners, and that truth made me cry.

By the time the event was over, I checked the numbers, and we had three hundred and eighty sales. I cried. So many of them had already followed me on social media and joined my mailing list. I kept thanking Bully because I honestly wouldn’t have been as calm as I was without him. This was the first time he’d joined me at a vendor event, and I didn’t want to do it without him again.

His support was just what I needed to maintain my peace and keep a calm spirit. He was attentive and willing to do literally whatever I needed. And he had a charming way of bringing people over to the table so I could reel them in. Bully was absolutely perfect, and I’d be forever grateful to have him by my side.

We were so tired after the event Friday that we returned to our suite at the Ritz Carlton, ordered room service, then went to sleep. Yesterday afternoon, Bully treated us to massages and we went shopping before hitting up a lounge. We were supposed to leave on an early flight in the morning, and Bully told me not to make plans with my family today because he was going to take me on a date. Though I’d originally told my cousins I’d hang with them before I left, the idea of going on a date with my man appealed to me more. I told them I’d catch them on my next trip here, and seeing as they knew Bully had recently resurfaced, they completely understood.

Bully and I talked on the flight here and admitted our focus had been on his relationship with Innah. Though we hugged and cuddled at night, she was our center, as she should have been. He wanted to end our trip making sure I understood he hadn’t come back just for our daughter but for me too. I missed the closeness and intimacy of our bond. We were having fun as friends and coparenting as well, but I did want more, so I was looking forward to our date and whatever else he had planned.

While Bully finished the FaceTime with Innah and my parents, I got ready to shower. I’d called to check in and he took over which was cute. She was so excited to see him, and every time I saw them engage with each other, I thanked God. I had a feeling she’d be a daddy’s girl and she was definitely shaping up to be one. Innah still came to me first, but after she used me for my love, she went straight to her daddy until she got hungry or tired.

“Can I join you?” Bully asked.

I looked at him through the mirror, but he was too busy eyeing my frame to notice. He rubbed his palms together and licked his lips. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss his dick. We decided not to have sex a month before the wedding, so if you added to that the nine months he was gone and the weeks he’d been back, I was feeling the lack of having him inside of me.

“Are you going to behave?”

The sexy chuckle he released as he slipped his hand under my cotton robe made me shiver.

“Not at all.”

“It’s um…” My eyes fluttered and I swallowed as my mouth watered from his touch. “It’s been a really long time, Gabriel. You might drown.”

Wrapping his hand around my neck from behind, Bully pressed my back against his chest. “I’m going to make this pussy as wet as I possibly can. I know how to swim.”

His grip around my neck tightened as we kissed. Bully knew that was my weakness. I could cum from him choking and touching me alone. Each time his hand rubbed and squeezed my ass I had to fight back my moans. I lost all composure when he smacked it and pressed his hard, thick dick against me.

“Get yo’ sexy ass in that shower before I fuck you right here,” he ordered against my ear before nibbling it, but that only made me melt more against him as I gripped the counter. “Innvy…”

“Okay,” I conceded, using my ass to push him backward. After dropping my robe, I opened the door to the shower and stepped inside.

Bully undressed and joined me. My cheeks hurt from smiling so hard. For a good long while, all we did was hold each other. He shielded my head from the water, but the hard water on the rest of me combined with his hard frame felt magical . When we did start to move, it was to touch each other. I loved running my hands over his wide, tattooed frame. That milk chocolate skin made me want to lick every inch of him.

Eventually, we started to kiss. Deep, long, nasty. I reached between us and stroked his dick. When he moaned, my pussy throbbed.

“You give what belongs to me to somebody else?” I asked, stepping away from him and toward the shower door.

“Never. I don’t want nobody else. I’ll never want anybody else.”

“Really?” I asked softly. “You didn’t even get head?”

“Nah, baby. I know how to separate my desires from actions, and I have discipline. The whole time I was gone, whether you believe it or not, I craved you and you alone.” I believed him, but hearing him say that he hadn’t been with anyone else made my spirit ease. “Now c’mere.” I took small steps toward him. As Bully looked down, he told me, “Get on your knees.” The second his eyes returned to mine, I lowered to my knees. “Good girl,” he praised, using my high ponytail to tilt my head back. His hand gripped my jaw. “Open wide.” And I did, stretching my mouth to accommodate his length and girth.

The second I wrapped my mouth around him, he groaned and shuddered. His body further confirmed that he hadn’t been with anyone else. Bully had never been a minute man but going almost a year without sex had him cumming quickly in my mouth. I graciously accepted every drop before standing. We showered and dried our bodies quickly, then he picked me up and carried me to the bed.

As soon as he had me on my hands and knees, he kneeled and spread my ass cheeks. The warmth from his tongue made me spineless as my top half collapsed on the bed. His long tongue slid from my asshole down my opening to my clit. He took his time feasting on me, leaving no part of me unsavored. When his tongue started to enter and exit my pussy, my toes curled. And when he latched onto my clit and sucked, my spine tingled.

“Fff—ah!” Releasing a hiss of breath, I gripped the sheets and fed him more of my pussy. “I’m about to cum, bae.”

Bully held my waist and continued to devour me, keeping his same pace even after I came. As he smacked my ass cheek he told me, “Scoot up, and stay on your knees.”

I did as he said, gasping when he slid under me. Bully lowered me slightly until I was sitting on his face.

“Oh shit,” I moaned, tweaking my nipples as I circled my hips. Two of his fingers entered me as he licked and slurped my clit. As good as it felt, I wanted it to last forever. “Oh my God, Bulllyyy…”

His fingers bent and put pleasurable pressure on my spot as the tip of his stiff tongue zeroed in on that spot under the hood of my clit that would have me cumming and squirting within seconds.

“Ahhh fuck, oh fuck, I’m about to s-squirt,” I warned him, trying to scoot down.

Bully’s arm wrapped around my waist and he held my ass cheek, spreading me open as he continued to eat and please me. I tried to hold it back but I couldn’t. My cum dripped as I squirted and bucked against him. He released a growl and sucked my clit into his mouth, making me cum again.

“Bully,” I whimpered, grabbing hold of his wrists as my body convulsed.

“Mhm,” he moaned, kneading and squeezing my ass as the last of my tremors subsided. When he finally loosened his grip on me, I took advantage and laid flat on my back. “Told you I know how to swim,” he teased as he sat up. His face was drenched, and the cocky smile he sported made me roll my eyes as I laughed.

“Damn, bae. I forgot how good you are at that.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll remind you again when we get back, but we really need to get ready to go.”

He stood, hard dick swinging as he headed toward the bathroom again. It would have been my pleasure to milk him until he softened, but apparently, we were on a schedule. I composed myself while he took a quick shower, then I did the same. Since I didn’t know what he had planned, I let him choose my outfit for the evening.

* * *

Bully took me to Cosm and it was a beautiful exhibit. We stayed for the double feature, and seeing the sky and Earth as an astronaut would was phenomenal. After that, we had dinner and drinks at Scarlet Lounge. We ended our night at Double D’s bar and danced the night away. By the time we left, I was borderline drunk and couldn’t stop smiling and giggling. The only reason we left when we did was because we both got horny as hell when we were drunk, so we decided to have our final drinks at the bar at the hotel. I’d been craving him since our foreplay session earlier.

Everything he said and did for the rest of the day was making me want him more and more. The planning, the eye contact, the conversation, the priority and attention he gave me. There was no doubt in my mind that I would combust when he finally made his way back inside of me.

We stopped by the bar and had two glasses of Clase Azul reposado before tumbling into the elevator. Well, I tumbled. He held me and laughed.

“I don’t remember you being a lightweight,” Bully said, scanning his key card and pressing six.

“I wasn’t, but I haven’t really been drinking. I would have the occasional mimosa with Neo if we went to brunch but that’s about it.”

His expression turned serious as he stared at me. “You meant it when you said you didn’t like drinking with no one else, huh?”

Smiling, I nodded and tugged my bottom lip into my mouth. “Yes, bae. I only trust you and her outside of my family. Of course I trust the crew too, but I don’t know. It just didn’t feel right going out without you. I’d have a couple of glasses of wine at home if I wanted to unwind but that was it.”

“I’m sorry,” he mumbled, cupping my cheek and using it to pull me close. “I couldn’t risk bringing you with me, but I hated leaving you there. I didn’t think of all the ways it would affect you.”

“You don’t have to keep apologizing, Gabriel. That was literally years ago. You didn’t know it would come back around when and how it did. We’re okay.”

“You sure?”

“Positive.”

The smile that spread his lips made me mirror it. Just as he was about to kiss me, the elevator doors opened. Bully wasted no time peeling my dress off my body as soon as the suite door closed behind us. I fumbled with the buttons on his black button down as he yanked my panties off. Since he had the first three buttons already open, it didn’t take me long to push it off. As I slipped out of my bra and heels, he kicked off his loafers and pushed down his slacks and boxers.

I giggled when he picked me up and carried me into the bedroom, but it turned into a moan when he tossed me onto the bed. Our kisses and touches led to him licking and sucking my nipples before making his way further down. My legs remained spread wide as he ate my pussy as if it was the most exquisite morsel on Earth. Low hums escaped me as I palmed his head and rotated my hips.

Back arched off the bed, I pulled in a shaky breath as my eyes squeezed shut. My mouth hung open and toes curled as I palmed the sheets. Bully moaned as my clit throbbed in his mouth. I didn’t have to warn him that I was about to cum. He was so in tune with my body that he knew just as soon as I did. His grip on my thighs tightened as I whimpered and prepared for ecstasy to wash over me. His tongue strokes were relentless, not stopping until well after I came.

As he made his way up my body, it trembled. The intensity in which he looked at me took my breath away. Bully lifted my legs so that my ankles were by my ears. I reached between us and put his meaty head at my opening. Slowly, he filled me. Gasping, I dug my nails into his sides. Once he was all the way inside, Bully stilled.

His thumb grazed my cheek as we smiled. “Hi,” he almost whispered.

My eyes watered as I sniggled. “Hi.”

The greeting felt appropriate, because it felt like this was a reintroduction to one another.

“My big baby,” he muttered against my lips before kissing me. “I love you so much, Angel.”

“I-I… mm…” The declaration was temporarily cut off when he began to move inside of me.

“You what?” he taunted, circling his hips in a way that made me cry out and pull him closer, not that there was any space between us to begin with.

“I love you, Gabriel.”

He moaned and increased his pace. I knew this time was different because there was no dirty talk. No shit talking. Just heavy breathing, moans, and eye contact. Bully turned me slightly and lifted my left leg while the right remained on the bed. His long, medium paced strokes were deep. My walls immediately began to leak and close against him.

“Hmm,” I whimpered, holding his sides as my spine tingled.

His hand stroked my neck, causing my eyes to roll into the back of my head. Each time he stroked my pussy and neck at the same pace, some kind of sound came out of me and my pussy. I anxiously awaited the squeeze, and I was sure he felt the same about my walls contracting against him. As soon as he squeezed and choked me, my walls pulsed as I moaned and came.

“Ahh fuck!” I cried out as I convulsed under him. “Harder, bae,” I requested, and he obliged, squeezing and picking up his pace.

I lifted my arms and gripped the sheets as my titties bounced from the hard pace. Bully growled and alternated from tweaking one nipple to the other before leaning forward and sucking. He wrapped my legs around his waist and scooped me into his arms, cradling the back of my head in the palms of his hands. As they rested on the bed, he slowed his strokes, filling me deep and methodically.

He returned his lips to mine, kissing me tenderly. As he sucked my tongue and lips, moans and whimpers and hums poured from my mouth. I felt every inch of his strokes all over me. My body trembled and he held me steady, whispering against my lips and releasing moans of his own.

“You creaming on me,” he announced in my ear. “Who told you to do that?”

“Your dick told me to do it.”

Bully laughed, but it turned into a moan when my walls squeezed him tighter and refused to let go. He lifted slightly, rocking my hips forward, brushing my clit and g-spot at the same time.

I stroked his nipples with my thumbs, and when he jerked, that was my signal that he was about to cum with me. As we exchanged fluids he growled.

“Look at what you did,” he taunted as his dick throbbed inside of me. “Look what the fuck you made me do.”

“Yesss, bae. Cum in this pussy. It’s yours.”

“Argh!” he roared, wrapping his hand around my neck.

The sticky sound of my cum gushing and mixing with his filled the room. His strokes hardened and sped up as his free hand lowered to my clit, rubbing it until we both came again. Instead of pulling out of me, he laid on his side and held me close. We both pulled in choppy breaths with goofy smiles. I tossed my leg over him as I rubbed his back in small circles.

“Thank you for this, Bully.”

“We needed it. I love bonding with baby girl and us having family time, but I needed this time with you.”

“Same. I needed it with you too.”

“You wanna stay another day?”

“Can we?”

“I mean… yeah. If your folks don’t want to keep Princess, you know mine will. It’s a short flight. Let’s stay one more day.”

A slow grin spread as I briefly considered his request. “Okay. Let’s stay.”

Needing to adjust our plans was the only reason we pulled away. We soaked in the tub and took a quick shower before he busied himself seeing if he could book our suite for another day. I called my mom to let her know what was going on, though I was sure she wouldn’t mind keeping Innah.

“Hey, baby,” she answered.

“Hey, Ma. Sorry for calling so late.”

“It’s okay. Are you okay?”

“I’m great actually. Bully and I are going to stay one more day, so we’ll be back Tuesday instead of tomorrow. Is that okay?”

She sighed and my heart dropped. “I guess this means you’re back with him huh?”

“I mean… yes. Do you have a problem with that?”

“I do actually.” My eyes rolled as I lowered my body in the bed. “He hurt you, Innvy. He missed so much without an explanation. How can you forgive him so quickly and easily?”

“Because we talked. Because I understand why he did what he did. He’s promised to never do it again, and I believe him. I also love him and planned to spend the rest of my life with him. We’ve already lost almost a year. I’m not willing to waste more time being mad for no reason.”

She scoffed. “You’re a damn fool, little girl. Ain’t no way on this Earth your daddy could’ve—”

“Look, I didn’t call for your opinion or permission. If you don’t want to keep her and Daddy has to be at the clinic, I’ll call someone else. Matter of fact, I’ll just do that anyway.”

I pulled the phone from my ear to end the call but the sound of her calling my name stopped me.

“Innvy, wait.” After releasing a long breath, she continued. “I just don’t want to see you hurt like that again. When a man shows you who he is, you’d be wise to believe him.”

“Ma, you don’t even know what happened. Bully showed me he’s a protector, a man of honor, and one who keeps his word. Do I wish he would have told me what was going on before he left? Yes, but he didn’t. That was a mistake on his part and he’s working hard to make amends. I understand your fear and I know it’s from a place of love, but you taught me to have faith.”

“In God, not a man!”

Chuckling, I shook my head. “I love you, Ma. I’ll talk to you when I get home.”

“I love you too. And don’t you send nobody to get my grandbaby. You know I have no problem keeping her… even if it is so you can lay up with her disappearing ass daddy. I’ma start calling his knucklehead ass Houdini.”

As much as I didn’t want to, I laughed. “Bye, Ma.”

“Bye.”

I disconnected the call with a shake of my head. After he rescheduled our flights, Bully joined me in bed. I didn’t bother telling him about Ma’s reservations. She’d already told him how she felt the first time he dropped Innah off and it didn’t sway him either way. He made it clear he didn’t give a fuck how she felt, respectfully, and that he’d come back to get both of his girls. I knew only time and the behavior she’d grown used to from him would make her trust him again and I respected that. For now, I was feeling too good to let her lack of faith in us ruin my mood and our time together.
