Legend (Requiem MC #6)

Chapter Thirteen The Fire

Legend

I opened my eyes to see the sun streaming in through the curtains as it lit up the room. With a groan, I tried to move and found that I was pinned to the mattress by a warm body. I had to pause to realize I was actually in Glory’s room, in her bed. She was fast asleep on top of me, like a dream I had once, a very long time ago. Only it wasn’t a dream…Glory and I were finally together.

And the sky hadn’t fallen.

The world didn’t stop turning and everything seemed fine. For all this time, I had been too afraid to be with this woman. I had good reasons, or so I’d thought. Years ago, the reason had been that we were both too young. But afterward in the years that followed, I admit I almost waited too long.

When she’d been taken hostage by Deacon, I had regretted pushing her away for all that time. I knew I’d missed my chance and I had to face the fact that I might never see her again. I couldn’t talk to anyone about it even though the days she was missing were nothing but hell for me. Suddenly, the world had gone dark and nothing mattered. That week felt like a year. It felt like forever. Then after we got her back, I didn’t make a move. My family would still be mafia and my rules for involving the Walkers in that world had remained the same.

As I laid here listening to her little snore, I grinned and I had to admit…I had been wrong. We were meant to be together. She had been right all along.

Moving a little, Glory grunted in her sleep then she suddenly flipped over, her elbow smashing right onto my nose.

“Owww!” I exclaimed as my hand went to my nose. I then realized it was bleeding.

Sitting up in bed, Glory stared down at me and gasped. “Oh, my God!”

I rolled over and grabbed the tissue box from the nightstand.

“Legend, what happened?” she asked.

I didn’t answer right away as I was trying to cover my nose to staunch the blood.

“I did it?” she asked as she seemed to realize she might have done it while she rubbed her elbow.

I laughed and nodded. “You were asleep.”

She rose up and rushed to the bathroom.

I admit as she hurried away, all I could do was stare at her bare ass. Damn. I would never get tired of seeing her like this.

Running back to me with a damp washrag in her hand, she jumped onto the bed. “You’re bleeding!”

“Yeah, I know.” I chuckled. “But it's not a lot.”

“I can’t believe…” Shaking her head, she replaced my tissues with the washcloth.

The bleeding slowed and I removed the cloth to say, “I always knew loving you would be dangerous.”

Pausing, she smiled at me. “Dang right.”

I then looked her up and down. “I think I ought to tell you that if you don’t cover that sweet body up…” I gave her a wink. “We may not be leaving this room for breakfast anytime soon.”

“And that would be a bad thing, how?” she asked as she laughed.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Glory’s laughter halted and she suddenly looked startled as if the last thing she thought was coming was a knock on her door.

I chuckled at her comical expression as I stood from the bed then put my briefs on. “I’ll get it.”

Grabbing the sheet from the bed, she hastily wrapped it around her nude body.

Wearing a huge smile on my face and feeling pretty damned amused, I headed to the door. Life with Glory would never be boring. This, I already knew. Still grinning, I opened the door.

Liberty had his fist up as if he was about to knock again. Lowering it, he glanced down at my briefs. Then his shocked gaze moved up to pause at my bare chest before ending up on my face.

Fate stood next to him and he looked concerned too. “Where’d the blood come from, Doc?” he asked.

Liberty scoffed. “This man is dating Glory, bro. He’s in danger everyday.”

These twins were always joking. I laughed. “I had a bloody nose. It isn’t a big deal.”

While looking flabbergasted, Liberty exclaimed, “She punched you?”

“In the nose?” Fate asked as he kept shaking his head. “Legend, maybe you should reconsider dating our sister. I mean at least for the sake of your safety.”

“You two morons!” Glory growled at them as she stepped in next to me. “I did not hurt him on purpose.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Liberty tisked as he chided, “Boyfriend abuse is a very serious subject, sis. We might have to do an intervention.” He grinned at her.

Fate nodded. “Maybe even bring in a therapist.”

Looking annoyed, Glory opened her mouth to tell them off.

I placed my arm around her shoulder, tucking her close to me and told them, “It was totally an accident. There has been no violence, guys.”

“Yeah!” Glory snapped. “But there might be some violence perpetrated on the both of you if you don’t quit with your BS. And let’s not forget that it is not any of your business.” She scoffed.

Fate shrugged. “We are members of the Requiem MC.”

“Yes and that means the safety of another member is our business.” Liberty nodded.

Exasperated, Glory asked, “So why are you two goofs here?”

“Goofs?” Looking insulted, Fate tucked his head back.

Liberty huffed as he crossed his large arms over his chest and said, “I take exception to that remark, Glory. Mainly because Fate is the only goof present here.”

They never stopped, even when they pushed her too far. I kept chuckling as I asked, “Ok, guys, so why are you really here?”

“Well, it isn’t everyday that someone sends a limo, ya know?” Liberty stated.

“Yeah,” Fate agreed. “One that was only meant for the very rich or for movie stars.”

“I wasn’t filthy rich but I was sort of a star, you know,” Liberty told Fate.

“Almost is not good enough,” Fate replied. “And this level of a limo beats any of the ones you rented.”

Glory rolled her eyes. “Can you two just answer the question?”

“The question?” Legend asked though he wiggled his brows which told us he knew what she was talking about.

Fate finally blurted it out, “Your dad sent those two bodyguards that were here before and a limo driver.”

“Along with a limo of course,” Liberty added as he chuckled. “Very posh.” He nodded as he went on, “I even climbed inside to check it out. Has a bar and a fully stocked mini fridge. Vibrating seats and a TV too. The works, man. Has to be a few hundred K worth of a vehicle. And just like Fate said, I've ridden in a few limos when I was on the MMA circuit but this one is like top-tier, man.”

“Ok, ok,” Glory snipped impatiently. “Is that all?”

“Is that all?” Fate asked. “Were you two expecting this?”

“Yes and no,” I replied.

They all looked over at me.

I shook my head. “He never wastes time and I can see he hasn’t changed.” I referred to my father of course.

“Ok, so you two goofs can go now,” Glory said as she reached for the door knob.

Fate and Liberty were both grinning while not looking surprised by Glory’s action as the door slammed shut in their faces.

Grabbing my arm, she tugged me along to the bed and we sat down on the mattress.

“So a limo ride to New Orleans?” she asked.

I shrugged and asked, “If that’s okay with you?”

She snickered. “Ride in a truck possibly with my brothers yacking the whole time at us… Or just you and me in a luxurious limo with all the amenities?” She slowly shook her head. “What a hard choice to make.”

I chuckled. “Well, Tito and Rocky aren’t quiet men. So I'm not sure about it being quiet?”

Glory shook her head. “It’s the annoyance level, Legend. Those two giants were awesomely sweet to you. I liked them.”

I shrugged. “They are great guys really and they know their jobs. Years back, they had always been supportive of me. But to be honest, I’m not sure how to feel about this. On the one hand, my father is doing it again. Trying to control everything. On the other…it would be safer to take him up on this. I mean no one will get through Tito and Rocky to do us any harm. But we can’t take this limo and let him think that he’s going to run our lives. So as soon as we get there, I will have to let him know that.”

Glory wrapped her arms around my neck and admitted, “I’m not used to being told what to do as you know, Legend. And I know that you told me not to like…argue with him and I can’t guarantee that I won't. But I will try to behave.”

I smiled at her. “ Try ?”

She laughed. “Ok, it sounds lame. But I will make an effort.”

I pressed my lips against hers and teased, “I know you. If he makes you mad, all bets are off.”

She snickered. “As long as we both stand together unified, he cannot win.”

I kissed her lips gently and briefly as I agreed, “You’re right. So let’s get showered, dressed and go see about getting some breakfast.”

Glory beamed at me as she asked, “We are gonna shower together?”

I laughed as I stood her up and tugged her sheet dress from her. “I think we are acquainted enough to have a hot shower together.”

“Hot?” she teased. “That’s the only part of what you just said that I paid any attention to.”

I shook my head. “You are a true Walker, Glory. You know that, right? You and your brothers are a hoot.”

“Well geez, Legend, there’s no reason to insult me, ya know? My brothers…” she huffed.

I scooped her up and said, “Ok, sorry about that. Let’s get showered.”

“Oh, yes!” she cheered. “Let’s do that!”

Laughing at her childlike enthusiasm, I carried her to the bathroom, setting her on the counter. Turning, I leaned into the shower to start the water spray. Then I realized that this was her shower after all, so I said, “I hope you don’t have like flowery body wash.”

“What?” she asked while looking confused.

“You know, so I don’t come out of this smelling like lilacs or something.”

Glory burst into laughter and asked, “Lilacs?”

I nodded as I tested the spray of the shower to make sure it was the right temperature, then turned to grin at her. “I’m a guy, ya know?”

Nodding back at me, she looked me up and down. Then smacked her lips like I was a treat to devour. “Yeah, I figured that out a long time ago, Legend.” She smirked at me.

I lifted her up, swung her over and set her into the shower. “I don’t see any flower wash in here, so I guess I’m safe.”

“Around me, you’re never safe,” she teased.

I chuckled as I stepped in the shower and shut the sliding door. “That’s what your brothers just told us, remember?”

“Nah, they meant I might beat you up or something.” She scoffed. “Sure, that makes sense…right?” Her voice dripped with sarcasm. “I waited all this time to be with you just to beat you up? Like I said, total morons.”

I laughed.

She moved in close to me. “But they were right in a way, your body may not be safe from me.” Reaching over, she caressed my wet skin with her hands and let out a soft sigh. Pausing, she grabbed the body wash bottle and soaped up a loofah. Rubbing it over my chest and stomach, she added, “But I wouldn’t care if you smelled like roses every day, Legend. I’ll take you in any way I can get you. Even if you smelled like vanilla.” Pausing, she cocked her head at me. “Actually, that would make you smell like the candy you really are.”

I didn’t know how long I could endure such sensual torture as her sweet soft hands roamed over me while she talked. Then I realized what she’d just said. “Vanilla?” I raised my head and smelled it. Lowering my gaze to hers, I asked, “You have vanilla body wash?”

“Yes,” she replied as she grasped my shaft. “I don’t like lilacs. Hmmm, I like this though… Wonderful.”

I sucked in a breath as her touch jolted me. Then I laughed. “Oh great, vanilla.”

She stroked me gently at first, then she sped up the pace along with the friction. “A vanilla scented Legend. I think I love that.”

I barely heard her as her stroking was a bit too pleasing to my cock. I grasped her hand and turning it palm up, I kissed it. “I can’t take much more of that.” I chuckled. “Let me wash your hair.” Maybe doing this would buy me some time to not be so damned hard. Picking up the shampoo, I lathered it in and massaged her scalp with my fingertips.

“Oh, that feels good,” she cooed as she leaned back while the warm water cascaded over her.

I smirked. “I’m good with my fingers.”

“Yesss…” She whimpered with pleasure. “I already know.”

“Okay, close your eyes,” I warned as I unhooked the shower sprayer hose. Turning it to her head, I gently rinsed her hair. Ok, so now, I had her hair washed, but I wanted to heat her up again. Tugging her close, I had her back to my chest as I wrapped my arms around her. One hand went to her breast to tweak her nipple and the other went to her slit. I stroked her button with my finger then dropped my mouth to her neck to suckle her there, all while sweetly pinching her nipple.

Her body rippled with pleasure as I held her up. “Legend…” She whispered in a weak tone.

I kissed her neck and kept up with my playing of her body for another minute or so.

Panting and whimpering, Glory tried to speak, “W-what are you d-doing to me?”

I removed my mouth from her skin and whispered to her ear, “I’m making sure you get all you need.” We had waited for so long to have this together, I wanted to make her come again and again. “And I can’t get enough of you.” I continued playing with her body as I let out a small growl into her ear.

With her body bowing upward, she came on my fingers as her legs gave out and she slumped in my embrace. “Ohhhh,” she exclaimed breathlessly as she nearly collapsed forward. “I love the things you do to me, Legend. Damn it!”

“That’s the whole idea,” I replied with a smile as I had to tug her back up. Turning her around, I kissed her deeply while I backed her up to the tiled wall. I intended to keep having her as many times as I got the chance to. Too many nights I’d spent fantasizing about this woman. So many, I couldn’t even count them. I didn’t let up with the kiss until I knew I had taken her breath away. Tweaking her pink nipples with my fingers, I then delved downward along her wet body to play with her all over again as she spread her thighs for me. God damnit was this hot. My cock got so hard it hurt. I played with her then knelt down to open her silky folds. I moved in for her clit and exposed her button. Latching on, I suckled it and tongued it.

Gasping and whimpering, she grasped my head with both hands. Her body trembled with need and passion as I made her come into my mouth. I could hardly control my erection as I tasted her sweet essence on my tongue. I almost came with her as she moaned so sweetly and gave herself over to me completely. Still panting, her eyes took on that look again. Like a dazed trance. I loved seeing this.

Finally, I stood and raised her up onto my hips to enter her. I lunged upward in one deep thrust.

Leaning her head back against the tiles, she panted my name out, “Llleeegggeeennnddd.” Coming hard on my cock, her body shuddered with pleasure while her chest heaved against me as she climaxed. Whimpering, she cried out my name over and over. The sounds she made, the look on her beautiful face overwhelmed my senses as I exploded inside her. I wrapped my arms around her and we came together.

I held her for a couple of breathless, shower spraying minutes. This would be my norm now. Having my Glory anytime I wanted to. A whole new world. Instead of dreaming of it and telling myself that it was only a dream? I would be living it now.

Sitting her on the little shower bench she had in here, I chuckled as she almost fell sideways. I held her up and grabbed a loofah. Lathering it with the same vanilla scented body wash, I soaped her up, smoothing the loofah over each breast and down to her thighs. I spread them with one hand and gently swiped the loofah up and down along her silky folds then rinsed her off with the shower spray.

She sat a bit slumped as she seemed too dazed to stand up. “I asked for this,” she admitted. “I wanted you and damn…did I get you.”

Shaking my head, I grinned down at her, “I’m glad to see you learned your lesson.” I laughed.

“Oh, shut up,” she said while still sounding a bit breathless. “It’s like watch out what you ask for.”

I kept chuckling as I finally shampooed my own hair. Turning to look at her, I said, “Ok, woman. Time to get going.”

She could barely nod at me.

I turned the water off. Grabbing her up, I swung her around and made my way out of the bathroom as I carried her. I now knew how to calm the fiery Glory down when she needed it.
