Murphy Ch. 04

He growled again and teased her clit till she writhed. He withdrew slowly testing her reaction. She gripped his forearm as she moaned this one of pleasure. He plunged in a little faster than before as he reveled in the delicious heat that gripped his cock. It took immense control to keep from pounding into her recklessly. He continued his slow pumping; enjoying her soft gasps every time he penetrated her.

The feeling of complete fullness caused her to shudder in his grasp, his hand never stopped teasing he clit and his cock stretched her anus. Murphy began to pick up speed. Never has anal felt this good, it was a different sensation yet her body vibrated with the same desire. She pushed back against him causing him to go deeper.

He began to pump harder, one hand on her pussy one slowly snaking up her body pausing to pinch and squeeze her sensitive nipples then gripping her shoulder to slam into her. Her moans rang through the small living room.

She closed her eyes forgetting everything except Murphy and the decadent and sinful things he did to her body. She gripped his forearm tighter, letting him know she wouldn't last much longer. He moved his hand from her shoulder to lay flat on her breastbone pulling her into his chest. His hand slid up past the hollow of her collarbones to gently wrap around her neck.

She threw her head over his shoulder letting him moan sweet Portuguese words into her ear. She felt the edge of her pleasure quickly coming. The hand around her neck began to tighten, not enough to be uncomfortable but enough to cause her to panic.

"Shh," he comforted close to her as the hand on her clit picked up speed. Her eyes rolled back as the sweet feeling washed over her. Her head was swimming with it. His grip became a little tighter and her head swam more. Her body became overloaded with sensations so much so that her moans couldn't be distinguished from sobs. He began to growl gutturally with every stroke he made and Nandy knew he was about to come too.

A few more pumps and she fell over the cliff, her whole body shuddered violently both of her entrances spasming as well. It was like electricity extreme cold and scorching heat all at once engulfed her. He growled loudly as he pumped his seed into her, filling her. It felt like it lasted for hours after which she slumped over the couch feeling extremely tired and spent.

Murphy was no better, he wrapped his arms around her body pulling them both to the ground in a heap of heated skin and heaving chests.

"Not to self; defy Murphy more often." Nandy murmured barely able to keep her eyes open. She fell asleep to the sound of his chuckle.

Jae and Delvin stuffed themselves with pancakes, bacon, and orange juice as they enjoyed hours of entertainment from the drunken group. The group slowly stumbled out and Jae could only hope that they were headed to the hotel across the street and not behind the wheel of a car. It was time to blow this Popsicle stand. As they walked back to their cars Delvin slipped his hand in hers. Her heart flipped. She always felt like a teenager around him

"You ready to go home?" Delvin asked as they reached their cars. Jae silently looked down at their entwined hands. She'd never thought she'd like someone this way. She wanted to be around him all the time. I guess this was how punch, drunk love felt. Yet she couldn't help but question if it was love. It couldn't have been, not really. They've known each other for a month or so, maybe it was simple infatuation. She decided she didn't care.

"No," She said softly looking up into his eyes.

"Me either," He said, "Let's go for a drive."

They both hopped into his Land Rover and drove around. They rolled the windows down and turned the radio up and just enjoyed each other's company. He drove holding her hand running a thumb over he knuckles. This felt absolutely perfect, but it was in Jae's nature to wait fearfully for the sword of Damocles to fall. She sighed trying to shake the feeling, and for a while she did.

The two decided that it would be fun to go to the beach.

"Let's watch the sun rise," Delvin had said suddenly.

"We can watch it rise from the car."

"No from the water, it probably won't rise from over the shore but we can still watch the sky change color." He said jovially.

"Why not?" She said giggling a bit, "The sun rises in the east; it will rise from the water."

"Duh, no it doesn't, that's in California where they shoot the movies." He said causing Jae to out and out laugh.

"Duh, that's the sunset. The sun sets behind the buildings down here."

"Oh," He said his brow drawn in confusion; he quickly recovered and said, "Oh, okay then, shall we go?"

"Okay, let's go." She agreed with a playful smile.

They parked leaving their shoes in the car and ran toward shore. It was dark and the air was cooler and smelled of salt and sea. They stumbled across the cool sand until they found the public beach chairs that were chained together and tethered to the lifeguard post. They both sat down and looked out onto the shore. They settled into their chairs for the wait. For some reason Jae thought it would begin as soon as they sat down, but no, they sat awkwardly quiet in the dark.

"How long do we have until it begins to rise?" Jae asked in the mounting silence.

"I'm guessing twenty maybe thirty minutes." He said.

"Oh," There was another long beat of silence. Breeze whipped by and she shivered. His arm pulled her in closer. Jae smiled, he smelled warm and clean like spearmint and sandalwood.

"Did you have any plans for today?" He asked her. The sound of his voice rumbled through his chest.

"Just a girl's day with my cousins. Nandy and Murphy had that event tonight and I need to get all the details. What about you any plans I'm ruining?"

"Actually," He said, "I plan to see my great aunt today."

"Ooh, a family man." She said pressing closer to him. "Tell me about her."

"What is there to say? She's my only family, she raised me. So when she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's I promised her I'd always be there, even when she isn't. It's become harder and harder to take care of her. I've put her in a nursing home recently, something I thought I'd never do."

"Well, if it's for the best then there's no shame in it." Jae consoled when she heard the abhorrence in his voice.

"What about your family?" He asked.

"Nandy and Ruby is my family. We're all a little estranged from the rest."

"Mind me asking why?"

"Well. It's a moral issue. There was a big dispute in the family and most of them persecuted one of us in particular and we three were the only ones to see how wrong it was. We picked up and left after high school. We moved into a cramped studio apartment and helped each other get to where we are. We didn't need them." Jae explained.

"What was the dispute?" He asked.

Delvin could hear the hesitation in the air before she spoke. "It's not my place to tell you. I wasn't at the heart of it and I don't want you forming opinions about my cousins before you know her."

"Then which cousin is it?" He asked knowing she'd be even less inclined to tell him that.

"It's starting," She said instead.

Delvin pulled her closer to him as they watched the sun rise. He could feel it. Just as the sun bloomed from the horizon so was their relationship. Yet just like the sun in its first hours it illuminates part of the city there are still places where the sun has yet to reach, but it will get there soon enough.

She was out like a light and Murphy couldn't help but feel a little smug about it, having worn her out. When he final caught his breath Ananda was asleep in his arms. He picked her up taking him to his bedroom, laying her on the bed before retreating to the shower. As the warm water rained down on him his mind traveled to the woman in his bed. Her eyes and smile were both playful and sultry and somehow they've coaxed him into this position where he questioned his bachelorhood. The jealousy he felt at that club seemed so out of character.

Ananda wasn't his. Yet, he had to ask himself did he want her to be his? She was beautiful, intelligent and charming; he often forgot how young she was. Tonight he was reminded of that, the whole thing with Cole reminded him about the situations that will come up often. When he was twenty three he couldn't imagine slowing down or stopping for anyone, relationships were for when he was too old to party. Now, He wasn't too old to party but he was ready to get into a relationship. He didn't think Nandy was ready for that.

He hopped out the shower with resolution. He'd ride this wave with Nandy until it comes crashing to shore. As he walked out the bathroom he heard his cell ring. He looked to Ananda to see if she'd woken up before heading to the living room to get his phone. It was a text from Raphaela. When they were speaking at the bar Ella somehow cajoled him into exchanging numbers. Why not, when they realized they ran in a lot of the same social circles.

u guys should b

careful in the dub-step

room the walls have eyes.

Lol. Heard about a party next

Weekend at Justin's Lounge

stop by u might know

some people.

It seemed innocent enough to Murphy and Raphael was an enigma. She was a different kind of charming and had an air of mystery surrounding her. Part of him wanted to go to that party but for some reason it felt like a betrayal to Ananda.

Ruby had very few personal indulgences, not that she was complaining. She loved her family. Although the twins were little brats sometimes and her husband has grown a bit distant, she was sure it was a rut. For now, she lived vicariously through Nandy and her exploits, and celebrity gossip.

She chuckled to herself as she pulled out ingredients to make her family's breakfast. She'd never thought that she'd be one of those housewives that indulge in things like that but things around her house has become a bit monotonous.

She put the grits to boil and the bacon and biscuits in the oven to bake. She baked the bacon because it was healthier that way and the biscuits always had hints of bacon when she baked them together and the smell woke up her husband at seven in the morning. Ruby turned on the coffee and whipped herself a cup of tea, sat at the breakfast counter with her laptop and went to Media Takeout.

The first story on front page and Ruby nearly choked on her tea, "Oh shit!"

It read; "Mr. Steal-Yo-Girl and We Not Talking Trey". The story went that Ananda showed up with Murphy, "unknown guy" and left with G Frenzy. There were pictures of Ananda standing next Murphy as they left this huge party bus a few picture of them holding hands and kissing, a picture of Ananda kissing the rapper and then lots of pictures of her posed with him leaving the club.

"What the fuck, Nandy?" She said to herself. This wasn't like her cousin at all and yet here were the pictures splayed on Media Takeout. She had to...what did she have to do? She was beyond shocked. She picked up the phone to call Ananda. It went straight to voice mail so she called Jae.

"Ruby? What you want?" Jae said by way of greeting.

"We might need to move up our girl's day." She answered.

"Why what's wrong?" She asked sounding more alert than she normally would at six thirty in the morning, Ruby noted.

"Check out Media Takeout and then help me get a hold of Nandy."
