Scandalous Heroes Box Set (151 page)

“Oh, fuck, Kendra!” he shouted, falling back against the bed…trying to catch his breath. “Sweetheart that was freaking fantastic!”

“Glad you liked,” she smiled up at him, wiping her mouth.

“I’m serious. Thank you, Kendra. You didn’t have to do that.”

“I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to. I enjoyed it just as much as you did. Now I need to shower and make us some breakfast. You agreed to take me shopping today,” she said.”

“Not before I return the favor,” he said.

“Later. I need a shower,” she laughed.

“We’ll take one together. I still owe you shower sex,” he said, getting up from the bed and lifting her in his arms as he headed to the shower.

Once inside he placed her on her feet, stood directly in back of her, and turned the shower on low.

“Wow, it’s a good thing we’re both already naked,” she said sarcastically.

“Glorious. Now be quiet and place your hands flat on the tile, and spread your legs wide,” he whispered, sinking his finger into her. Good she was nice and wet. “Yes.”

“Umm, that feels good,” she moaned.

“Not as good as it’s going to feel,” he said snatching up a condom and putting it on. “Hold on to the wall tight, Kendra.”

“Um hm,” she breathed.

Michael removed his finger, aligned his cock with her center and surged up and into her.

Kendra cried out.

Taking her hips in his hands, Michael continued to push in and out of her. He pushed up, and she pushed back. When she let go of the wall to reach back and grab his hair, he smacked her on her ass. “Stop that. I told you to keep your hands on the wall,” he murmured.

“Okay,” she groaned. “Oh, God. So good.”

Michael continued to pump into her until he felt her vaginal walls begin to tighten around him. “That’s right, sweetheart. Come all over me. Come, Kendra. Don’t hold back,” he demanded.

“This is so good. I don’t want it to end,” she breathed.

“There’s plenty more where this came from, Kendra. I’m not going anywhere, and neither are you. Now come,” he demanded.

“Ugghh,” she screamed.

“See that wasn’t so hard. Now was it?” he chided, as he pumped into her one last time, spilling his seed inside he condom. “The best. Damn, we’re good together.”

Michael pulled out of her and helped her to stand up straight. “Now for the real shower,” he chuckled, turning the shower jets on high and washing both of them. He took care to wash her between her legs. She’d already been sore, and he was sure this last round they just did, hadn’t helped her any.

He wanted her all the time. He didn’t know whether that was a good or bad thing. What he did know was that they had something special, and he wasn’t going to let anyone interfere with their being together.

They showered and dressed in silence. No words needed to be said. This morning’s events had created a true connection between them. Michael felt it and knew that she did too.

“You want to eat here or stop somewhere while we shop?” Michael asked.

“Let’s pick up something. I’m just anxious to get out of the house for a while. I could turn into a hermit here. You have everything I need under one roof,” Kendra smiled.

“Glad you like it. Are you ready?” he asked grabbing up his keys.

“Sure am. We can take my car, you know. Piero had it brought here,” Kendra said.

“I know your car is here. However, I’ve heard about your car. No offense, but we will not be going anywhere in that thing,” he snorted.

“My car is fine.”

“Sure it is. We are not going anywhere in that car. I refuse to get stuck on the side of the road,” he laughed.

“Stop laughing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with my car.” She pouted and stomped her foot.

“If you believe that, then there’s something wrong with you. And since I know you are a smart lady, then it has to be the car,” he joked. “Besides, the longer we stand here fighting, the less time you have to shop.”

“Whatever. Let’s go,” Kendra grumbled.

“I thought so.”

“I thought so,” she mimicked. “Where are we going?”

“We can either go the mall or a few boutiques I know of.”

“Don’t you dare take me to some place you’ve taken your other women, Michael Alesi,” Kendra said.

“Kendra, I believe I have more class than that,” he snorted. “I gave you options because I didn’t know whether you favored crowds or you wanted a bit more privacy.”

“Sorry. Thanks for the gesture. I’d like to try both if you don’t mind,” she said.

“I don’t mind at all. Where to first?”

“The mall.”

“To the mall it is,” he said leading her out the door and then setting the alarm and locking up after them. “We’re taking the SUV.”

“Whatever you say. Just how many vehicles do you have?”

“Several,” was his only response.

Michael pressed the garage door opener and led her over to a cream colored 4x4 truck. Unlocking the door he helped her up and inside before getting into the vehicle himself and backing out of his yard.

“I like this,” Kendra said. “It’s nice and roomy.”

“I love it. I drive it a lot on the weekends. Well not this one, per se. This is rather new. I had one that I had driven for years. I sold it and bought this a few months ago. I’ve been so busy lately I’ve only driven it a few times. Feels good to get back behind the wheels of my baby,” Michael smiled.

“Now you see how I feel about my car,” Kendra said excitedly.

“Kendra after a car has broken down several times, it’s no longer considered a baby. That’s a migraine,” he said dryly.

“You are going to stop talking about my baby, Michael.” Kendra sniffed pettily. “I know Piero told you about the car. Piero has a good heart, but he needs to mind his own business.”

“Now that he knows that you and I are together he won’t hassle you as much. That’s my job. But let me tell you, Kendra, the next time that car breaks down and you’re in it, we junk it and get another. Understood? I can’t have your safety at risk,” Michael said.

“I repeat. There’s nothing wrong with my car,” she pouted.

“Stop pouting Kendra. You won’t mention your car again. We are out to have a good time shopping,” he said sarcastically.

“Well, Michael, if you didn’t want to go, why did you volunteer to bring me? I have GPS in my car and on my cell. I could have very well driven myself. I’m not helpless, you know,” Kendra said.

“Who said I didn’t want to bring you? I just know how women are. This is going to be an all-day affair,” he grunted.

“No, it’s not. I’m only staying another week. I have work to get back, too,” Kendra said.

“Just what kind of work do you do?” Michael asked.

“Oh, a little of this and a little of that. I used to have a 9 to 10 job, literally. I love to travel, and that job was taking up too much of my time. Now, I’m a consultant.”

“You worked one hour a day?” Michael questioned with a puzzled frown.

“No,” she chuckled. “I worked from 9 in the morning until 10 at night.”

“You’re worse than I am. I’ve slowed down a lot, too. Honestly, if I didn’t love my work so and didn’t fear I’d be bored to death at home all the time, I’d hand the business over to someone else right now. I want to travel, too. I’ve worked so hard building up my own little empire that I haven’t really taken a vacation. Sure I’ve partied and hung out, but mostly I’m home. Except for the occasional trip to Milano or Faltando.” he said.

“Faltando?” Where’s that?”

“It’s a small community in Italy. My family is originally from there.” 

“So what’s in Milano?” Kendra asked.

“What’s not?”

“That was very cryptic,” Kendra said. “Is that a sore subject?”

“Not at all. Just something I don’t want to get into just now. We have plenty of time for that. The ride to the mall is not the time nor the place to talk,” Michael said, driving along the freeway.

“Just how far away is this mall?” Kendra asked.

“About another mile or so. Why?”

“I need coffee,” she said.

“I’ll stop at the donut shop just before the mall. We can grab a coffee and a pastry. Is that okay with you?”

“Yes, that’s fine.”

“Good. It’s just up ahead,” Michael said, maneuvering the vehicle into the turning lane.

“This is a nice area. Where are we?”

“Shady Forks. It’s almost like a Fire Island on land. Like a private community,” he said.

“You all like ‘private,’ huh? Everything is private this, private that, yet your relatives are very loud,” Kendra snickered.

“True some of us are ‘robust,’” he laughed. “However, most of us are quiet. The side of my family that loves action are the ones who live in New York in the Brooklyn and Bronx areas. We have our share of problems just like everyone else.”

“I’m sure you do. Who doesn’t?” she said.

“Yes, but some more than others,” he said, swinging his car into a vacant parking spot at the donut shop. “Ah, here we go.”

“True,” she said, opening the door and jumping out of the truck.

“You know you should have waited for me to help you down,” He said wryly.

“I could have, but I’m not helpless. Next time,” she smiled.

“Yeah, right. You have to get used to people helping you, Kendra. Especially me. I’m not asking you to give up your independence, but let go a little. I met your parents at the wedding. I’ve seen your mother on several occasions because of Adanna and Carina’s friendship, and your parents appear to be very loving. In fact, your father threatened Piero so much about not hurting his baby girl that I was beginning to think he’d hired a hit man to follow him or something,” Michael said dryly.

“Daddy is special,” Kendra laughed. “He loves his ‘girls’ as he calls us.”

“That’s because you are. My dad is the same with Carina. At least he tries to be. She has enough brothers and cousins to step in at any given moment. I tell you she hates us sometimes. She and Nicco are really close. That’s when he’s not getting on her nerves,” Michael chuckled.

“Word has it that he broke Tony’s arm. Of course, no one’s talking,” Kendra snickered.

“Really? I hadn’t heard,” Michael whispered.

“Liar,” she giggled. “Nothing gets past you.”

“You almost did,” he said. “Let’s sit. I don’t relish walking and eating at the same time.”

Michael guided Kendra over to a booth-seat and waited for her to sit before he did. “What would you like?”

“A plain bagel with cream cheese and a large coffee, very little milk, and no sugar.”

Michael gave her a nod and went over to buy the food and drink. They sat in the donut shop talking for about a half hour before they left for the mall.

“That was good,” Kendra said, letting him help her back into the car.

“It was.”

“Both the food and the conversation.”

“Glad you liked. I favor the mom and pop stores more than the bigger chains.”

“So do I. Only where I live we don’t have too many left,” she sighed.

“I think I heard you moved. Where are you living now?” he asked.

“I have an apartment in Douglaston,” she said. “A house wasn’t feasible. I’m hardly ever home.”

“Do you like it?”

“Actually, I love it!” she smiled. “Granted it’s not my dream home, but I love it all the same.”

“I’m glad you like it,” he grinned. “Now to the famous mall.” He rolled his eyes.

“Hush. I do not shop all day. I know what I want, I find it, and I buy it. As long as it is within reason,” she said.

Chapter Thirteen

Michael and Kendra walked through the mall hand in hand. So far, they were only window shopping as Kendra hadn’t found anything to her liking yet.

“You know you have to pick something sometime today,” Michael said.

“I know, but for now, I am happy just cruising the mall. Strange, I’ve never walked through the mall before. In fact, I hate malls,” she chuckled.

“You should have said something. I’m sure you don’t hate them as much as I do. I have to say, I am surprised. Every woman I know loves to shop, no?”

“I never said I didn’t like to shop. What I said was ‘I don’t like malls.’ There’s a difference,” she pointed out.

“True. I pray this is not your day of ‘mall’ discovery,” he joked.

“No, silly. I will find something sooner or later.” She sighed her contentment.

“I hope it’s sooner rather than later,” he whispered to himself.

“What was that?” she asked.

“Nothing. I was just admiring the scenery.”

“Sure you were. Oh look, there’s a lingerie shop. Let’s check it out,” she said, pointing toward the shop.

“Now this I can do,” he said, his eyes lighting up.

“You’re nasty just like Piero,” she grinned.

“I’m not nasty, Kendra. I just want to do nasty things to you,” he mimicked.

“Whatever. Come on. I hope they have something that can fit,” she murmured, leading him to the lingerie store.

“Kendra, why would you think they wouldn’t have anything to fit you? You act as if you’re like 500 pounds or something, and even then this store would probably have something that fits. You have a beautiful body. Enjoy it. I know I’m enjoying it,” he grinned.

“I just bet you are,” she laughed. “Just so you know, I am enjoying yours too.”

“If we leave here now, I bet I can make you not want to leave my bed for the rest of the week,” he said, in all seriousness.

Kendra moved closer to him and whispered in is ear. “I guarantee you, I can make you beg for it.”

“Let’s go,” he said, taking her by the hand and leading her out of the shop.

Kendra doubled over in laughter. “Michael, please, I came to shop, and that’s exactly what I’m doing. Stop dishing it out, if you know you can’t handle it.”

“I can handle anything you bring my way, and I intend to show you just as soon as we get home. And, don’t be trying to feign a headache, because I have plenty of aspirin,” he said.

“Ha! You’re on, Mikey.”

“Mikey?” he asked, with a lift of his brow and then smiled. “Buy your things, Kendra, so we can get out of here.”

“Stop rushing me. What do you think of this?” she asked, picking up a black, lace teddy with the crotch out. “I think this makes for easier access. Don’t you?”
