Checkmate 2: Let the Games Begin (29 page)

Mona finally eased from around Rico’s back. It seemed like she’d been standing there forever, but when she heard Aiden’s little whimpering sounds as he was waking up she had to see him. Rico moved over to the side, sitting the blankets on the countertop next to his car seat. Mona looked at him for the first time. Her heart sunk down in her chest as if it stopped beating for the moment. His light skin was so smooth on his face. His head was full of jet black curly hair. She leaned in closer to get another look at him as Rico stood back and watched her reaction. He had on a cute, light blue and red Baby Gap cotton top and bottom. His tiny hands stretched out when he yawned. As her face got a little closer to Aiden’s, his eyes opened as if he was staring right at her and he smiled. She didn’t know if he was smiling because he knew he’d saw someone as cute as her in his face or if he was playing with angels. She smiled back knowing that his innocence would be the reason for her accepting him and hopefully having him around more often.

Monty knocked on the door then, he rang the doorbell. It seemed like Debbie, MiKayla’s sister, was taking her own sweet time to open up the door. Monty was shaking in his leather jacket as the cold wind cut across his face.

Debbie opened up the door, not even looking to see who it was as she dried her hair with the towel in her hand.

“Why didn’t you use your key?” She asked. “I thought you said that you’d be over in about an hour. You’re early.” She said still not noticing that it was Monty who’d walked in behind her. “I’d started washing my hair.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s me, Monty.” He said, his deep voice scaring Debbie so bad that she nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned to see that it was him and felt a little better, but was still shaken that he could’ve been somebody else.

“I didn’t mean to scare you, but you just opened the door and walked off.” He said.

“No, don’t apologize. I should have been more careful, but I thought you were K.” She thought about it. “Hey, I need for you to leave before she gets here. She’s dealt with getting over you and I don’t want her to see you and those feelings emerge again.”

“I never meant to hurt your sister.” Monty explained. “I still care for her a lot. That’s why I’m over here.” Debbie looked confused.

“What do you mean?” She asked.

“I’m just genuinely concerned for her.” He stated as he stood there. Debbie knew that he was very sincere, but she also knew that her sister was really trying to get over him.

“I’m sorry Monty, but I don’t want to get involved in this.” She stated. “I know what K has already told you and I think that she was very brave about opening up about Chad and the baby, because K don’t like to talk to no one about that. She’s a very strong willed independent, but she keeps a lot of emotional pain bottled up inside of her. I was the one who encouraged her to open up to you and even though things turned out the way that they did, I was still proud of her for being able to talk about it.” Debbie said, sitting down on her couch.

“I know you don’t want to tell me anything, but I’m not going to let this go. It’s been a month since I’ve seen MiKayla and I can’t shake the thought of her out of my mind. It’s more than just being concerned about her.” He paused. “I have strong feelings for her.”

“You’re also in a serious relationship and that’s putting K in a hard position. I honestly believe that she’d fallen in love with you and for her to be just letting it go so that you can be happy with your girlfriend takes a lot of emotional restraint. Just go, and leave K alone. She’ll be alright and hopefully someday find someone who will truly love her. She needs someone who will not let her down and so far that’s all you’ve done.” Monty shook his head. He knew that Debbie was only speaking the truth, but he just couldn’t turn around and leave.

“Okay, I feel you,” he calmly stated. “But, if you don’t mind, please talk with MiKayla for me. I miss her and I just wanna see her. Monty said. I know I’ve hurt her, but I’m messed up on the inside, too. I never knew that I could feel this way about her, but I’m truly caught up and I understand that you want me to leave your sister be, but this is easier said than done. Please, help me out here.” Monty said pouring out his heart. Debbie just watched him. She knew he was sincere, but didn’t want to have nothing to do with him and MiKayla getting back together.

“Monty, I know you’re being honest, but I can’t help you.” She did feel bad for him. “If my sister is not willing to talk to you then what am I supposed to do?” She asked. “I’m sorry, but you put yourself in this position and you’re gonna have to get yourself out of it.” Monty felt defeated.

“I understand,” he said dropping his head.

“If you truly understand then you’ll leave here before MiKayla comes over.” She said and she opened up her front door. Monty turned and walked out.

He sat in his Tahoe as all sorts of thoughts ran through his mind. He backed out and headed down the street. He stopped at the stop sign trying to figure out which way he would go as he pulled off. He didn’t know if he should go to his mom’s house or Candy’s house. He just thought he’d ride around until he figured it out.

Monty found himself turning into MiKayla’s condominium complex. He knew she was gone to her sister’s house, because he’d been out riding for at least an hour. He called Candy to let her know that he was going on over to his mama’s house to lie down, but was now pulling up into MiKayla’s empty driveway. Her porch light was on and she was gone, but all he wanted to do was sit there. He couldn’t understand if it was because he felt bad for her or if he really just couldn’t stay away because of his feelings for her. Whatever it was had a hold on him and all he wanted to do was see her.

Thirty minutes had passed by and he still sat in his vehicle listening to the live version of
Song Cry
by Jay Z. He decided to crank his vehicle up and leave. As he put his car in reverse, MiKayla pulled up beside him. His heart felt as if it skipped a beat. He put the vehicle back in park and turned the ignition back to turn it off.

MiKayla was shocked to see him at her house. She’d tried her best to avoid any contact with him face to face, but was excited to see him. She missed him like crazy, feeling her stomach turn in knots. Her nervous hand shook as she reached for the doorknob. Their doors opened at the same time and they both got out. The temperature was twenty-nine degrees and the cold air from the wind could be felt all around them. They met up with each other, face to face, looking into each other’s eyes. She stood there in a buttoned red trench coat, with the belt tied around the waist of it. She looked very cute in her black Ralph Lauren Riding boots. Monty instantly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. The coldest chill in the world couldn’t come between the warm embrace that they shared.

“I don’t know where this will take us, but I want you in my life.” Monty stated as his cold nose touched hers. The tears fell from her eyes. She was overwhelmed with emotions. “Will you allow me to be a part of your life?” MiKayla’s heart pumped faster. She was speechless. “Do you miss me?” He asked her as she nodded her head, yes. “Good, because I’ve missed you, too,” he stated, wiping the tears from her face. “I hope those are tears of joy, because all I want to do is make you happy.” She smiled as he passionately kissed her. He stopped and looked into her eyes. “Let’s go inside, because I’m ready to make love to you.” He said. She grabbed his hand and led the way into her house.

As soon as they got inside the crib they were all over each other like a moth to flame. The feelings that they had for one another was dangerous, but they couldn’t fight it no matter how hard they tried. Monty knew he was playing with fire, but he wasn’t concerned about the consequences as he ripped MiKayla’s shirt off. He caressed her breast. Her head leaned back as if she was counting the stars. She heavily took in a deep breath while the feel of his gentle hands stroked her body. He kneeled down nibbling through the lace on her panties as she stood there with her hand resting on top of his head. What she felt was unbelievable. He eased her panties right down past her riding boots and opened her legs. He went in with his tongue. The warmth of her pearl tasted so sweet. One of her legs was standing straight on the floor, knee slightly bent and the other one was resting on his back as he slowly licked every inch of her pearl.

She held on to him and allowed this moment to take her away. Before she knew it, he’d picked her up and laid her back on the sofa while he massaged and sucked her breast. He eased his way back down to her open hot pussy. The creamy cum seeped out of her. He could feel her clit bulge on his tongue. His dick was about to jump out of his pants so he stood up and pulled them off. His manhood was erect and ready. He placed it inside her wet spot, listening to her soft moans. He stroked that pussy so good, lifting her up off the sofa. He walked down the hallway to her bedroom as she rode his long thickness the whole way to the bed. She was making the sexiest sounds he’d ever heard from her. Once her back hit the bed he eased up off of her. Her creamy cum allowed his dick to slide in and out easily and her walls held on tight for dear mercy. She never had a pain that felt so good as he went as deep inside her as he could. He wanted her to feel everything he had to offer. Her nails dug deep in his back and she held him closely to her warm body. Nothing could pry them apart. They were in their own world and no one was allowed to enter it. Monty turned her over. Her ass was up in the air. He slowly slid inside her inviting hole making her moan louder.

“You like this good dick, don’t you?” He asked, stroking her walls gently.

“Yes, I love it.” MiKayla stated while taking in deep breaths.

“Damn, I love this good pussy, too.” He admitted. He turned her back over and stared into her pretty face. He kissed her lips and slid his dick back inside her. His shaft was white from the cum that filled her insides.

“Can this be my pussy?” He asked as if he needed the confirmation that he could call it
his
pussy. 

“Yes, it can be your pussy.” She said just as she hit her high point. She moaned and squirmed as her pearl throbbed with pleasure. He sped up.

“So, is this my pussy?” He asked, deeply stroking her again.

“Yes, this is your pussy.” She confirmed giving it all she had making him explode inside her.

“Damn!” He said like that was the best feeling he’d ever had. Monty wasn’t the type to make noise during sex, so for her to hear him do that made her smile, knowing she’d done her job very well.

He rolled over beside her and looked at her with a smile on his face.

“Damn, I’ve missed you baby.” He stated.

“I’ve missed you, too. I just didn’t want to be the first one to call you.” She replied. “I don’t want to spoil the moment, but please be upfront with me and tell me where do I fit in? You know, in your life.” She asked out of concern.

“I have to be honest with you, baby. I’m still with Candy, but I want to be with you, too. I don’t know how it’s going to work, but if you give me a chance to just keep it real with you then I’ll do that and we can make it work.” MiKayla knew that this was a risky game, but she was willing to play it with him. She loved him and even though he hadn’t told her, she could feel that he felt the same way.

“I’m going to give you a chance, because I believe we have something special. I don’t want to know what goes on with you and Candy. All I want to do is focus on us. How are you going to find the time to spend with me, being that you have a business to run and a family to go home to? She asked trying to see if he really had a plan or not.

“Honestly, I don’t have a plan, but let me worry about that. As long as this is okay with you, then I’ma make it work.” He said and he kissed her. “Honestly, how do you feel about me being with you and Candy?”

“Honestly, I don’t like it, but I got strong feelings for you and I don’t want to let them go. I’ve tried once and it was hard as hell. That’s why you’re in my bed right now.” She grinned. Monty sat up on the side of the bed.

“Baby, I don’t mean to spoil the moment, either but I’m about to go. If it makes you feel better just know that I’m going to my mama’s house. I still stay there most nights and will be staying there until I find a place that I truly am digging of my own. I just know if I stay here that I’m not gonna get any rest, thinking about fucking you all night.” She smiled. “Plus, I do have a business to run and a very important meeting early in the morning that I must attend.”

“Say no more,” she stated. “Call me when you get to your mama’s house.” She said. Monty got up and started gathering his clothes to put them on. “From this point on, don’t worry about paying me monthly notes on this place. I got you covered.” He confirmed. “Regardless of what monies you already have,” he grinned. “I take pleasure in taking care of my woman, you’ll see.” Once he was dressed, she walked him to the door. He tongue kissed her before he walked out.

Monty sat his Tahoe. He started it up and then backed out. His thoughts were wild ones. He knew that he was in for a ride of his life if he wanted to keep MiKayla and Candy happy. Candy definitely couldn’t find out about MiKayla, because he couldn’t chance losing her. Then, on the other hand, he knew he had to make time to spend with MiKayla so that she didn’t feel neglected. He just couldn’t help that he was crazy about two women at one time. Strangely, both women had their own money, but he felt it was his duty to take care of them. He smiled to himself and reminisced about making love to MiKayla.

Damn, that pearl was juicy and good. He thought.

“Now, I’ma have to turn the heat up for my baby. She definitely deserves it.” He said, referring to Candy. 

Chapter Twenty-four

At Catherine’s house, Monty and Rico sat inside of the glass enclosed sunroom. They overlooked the fenced in two acre back yard. The wooded area behind the six foot fence was now full of sleeping trees that had lost their leaves. The winter chill was beginning to blow the season’s first flurry of sleet as the wind blew it lightly through the air. Monty could clearly see it melt as it hit up against the glass of the sunroom. He looked over at Rico passing him the fired up cigar filled with weed.
