Charmed By A Steel City Hustler
Chapter 19 — Say You Love Me Again

Lois:

I had moved back into the regular house and was sleeping in the guest bedroom still. Adonis and I were getting better with communication. He was coming home at a decent hour and asking more about my interests. The effort he was giving to this reconciliation was great, but still, there was something missing.

Adonis' phone would still go off. I saw that woman's name pop up on the screen a few times. I never asked him about her at all. Adonis willingly offered to fill me in on Yasmine Tate's case, and intimate details no one else knew.

I initially told him it was not necessary. I was no saint at all, so if he was screwing around, it was my own karma. Adonis wanted to win back my trust so badly. He also wanted to pick at my brain to see if I found anything he overlooked. Going through the transcripts and possible witness testimony, there were some discrepancies.

Yasmine Tate was dirty there was no question about that. She was also lying to Adonis about something big. I had no idea what that was, but I often took in all the knowledge around me in the office. The first-year associates were always questioning everything. They all agreed that if a case smells like shit, there is usually a toilet around.

I was sitting at the dining room table with a glass of wine and a bowl of steamed broccoli. I was reviewing applications for law school. There were so many universities in our area. I wanted to pick the correct school that would benefit me the most. Adonis had texted a while ago stating he was bringing dinner. I thought that was sweet of him to offer, but I wasn't cooking anyway.

I was playing nice to keep him from being up my ass about a potential child in the future. I did contact an old friend from college about divorce proceedings. My mind had been made up for a while now, but I had to be smart about it. If Adonis smelled blood in the water, he would turn into a great white shark.

Adonis would never forgive me if he found out the truth about Bash. I was not going to do that back and forth arguing or explanation shit. I was passed all that and just wanted peace. There was no prenuptial agreement for our marriage, so I had to tread lightly. Adonis had money but so did I.

Adonis was not getting a god damn penny of it. Our father had money set aside for us when we were younger. I lived off my paychecks and the joint accounts that Adonis and I had together. I was saving my inheritance money for my own dreams. I wanted to open my own firm with my name on the door.

"Lois babe can you help me out?"

I looked to the side door of my kitchen and heard Adonis yelling at me. His hands were full of bags. I sat my glass down and got up to help him. Adonis was laying it on thick, the smell of barbeque and soul food side dishes tickled at my nose. I grabbed two bags and set them on the counter. Adonis' face was hidden behind the rest. He was talking to himself about getting his tire pressure checked. While he was talking aloud burp rang out, and I covered my mouth.

"Excuse me. I stopped for a few beers before grabbing dinner."

I just shook my head and chuckled. Adonis was not much of a drinker and could not hold it when he did. He washed his hands and grabbed two plates and cutlery from the dish rack. I sat down and went back to my reading. The sound of dishes and opening bags had blown my concentration. There were two top schools that had piqued my interest and just as I was about to start filling out an application the plate of food was sat in front of me. "Here you go. What you got here, 'submission applications.' Getting a head start on the younger crowd huh."

I ignored his comment and said a quick prayer over my food. We ate in silence for about ten minutes until his phone began to vibrate uncontrollably. I ignored it and continued to look at an online brochure for the University of Pittsburgh. I wanted to see how long he could hold out from answering it. The darting of eyes from his plate to the phone, and to my face was hilarious.

Finally, after the fifth vibration cycle, he picked up, and excused himself from the table. I continued to eat my food and thought about going out with Nise for drinks. She had been so wrapped up in work and getting back home to DC. I was going to miss her as we were just starting to get close again. I understood where she was coming from. A broken heart can lead to irrational movements, and I knew she could not afford that.

"I apologize babe that was work. I was thinking we could soak in the hot tub together. Let the day's frustrations melt away."

Adonis was standing behind me massaging my shoulders. I rolled my eyes up into my head at his suggestion. Being intimate right now would not solve our problems. I just nodded my head yes. He kissed the top of my head and disappeared again. My text message alert went off and I grabbed my phone and swiped the icon.

Bash: I miss you, we need to talk.

That was a surprise out of left field. My heart thumped at reading those first three words. Bash pissed me off the last time we spoke. I did still miss him. This was not the time to entertain him at all.

I deleted the text and sat my phone back down. I did a full body stretch and made my bones crack. I heard some soft romantic music playing from the open window.

Adonis was pulling out all the stops tonight. He just might get lucky tonight or at least get to eat my cookie. I closed my laptop down and made my way out toward the hot tub area. Luther Vandross was a sure way to get on my good side. Adonis was standing in all his naked glory swaying to the music. I stopped and just admired him from the backside. My husband was drop dead sexy and had a monster between his legs. His personality could be compared to a wet mop at times.

I can't pinpoint when things between us went south. The day we said I do was the happiest of my life, and all I could see was a beautiful future. Now I was looking forward to a future alone. Where did we go wrong? Did I break the vows first? Had Adonis been faithful this entire time?

"Baby come on and get in. What are you daydreaming about over there?"

Adonis' voice said to me as I blinked away my thoughts. He was now sitting in the hot tub with a glass of champagne to his lips. I shook my head a bit and began to undress. Why did I feel strange undressing in front of him? His eyes were all over my body as I slid down into the steam. This was just what the doctor ordered my muscles instantly relaxed.

"Lois you're so beautiful, and I could kick myself for neglecting you. Honey, I love you and I know we are having a rough time right now. Please don't give up on us just yet. I promise in a year from now we will look back on this and laugh." That heart felt admission touched me in a way Adonis has not been able to do in months. I placed my hand to my mouth to cover the gasping. Adonis slid over in front of me and pulled me into his embrace. He stared into my soul and kissed my lips gently.

I felt a small spark like on our wedding night. The moment was right, and I was taken in but still hesitant. We broke the kiss, and he began to kiss on my neck and collar bone.

"Mm, that feels nice." The words slipped out and then quickly he kicked it up a notch. Adonis spread my legs and slid me down onto his rock-hard rod.

"Aah!" I yelped out at the force behind that first stroke. I had lost my train of thought. My husband was fucking me hard and sensual at the same damn time. I locked my arms around his neck to keep up with his pace, but he was strong arming

me.

"Oh, my. Yes, Adonis!"

WHACK!

Adonis popped my right ass cheek sending an exhilarated shock wave through my body. This was new he never was so vocal and raw with me. I creamed all down his rod and gasped at the mind-blowing orgasm he just gave me. Adonis quickly flipped me over and entered from the back. I grabbed on to the side paneling for support and attempted to throw it back on him. He had a death grip on my hips.

"Oh, fuck yes! This pussy is fire and all mine. Lois don't ever give this shit away. Mm."

I was too busy riding my own high to respond. Concentrating on my next orgasm that was nearing. Adonis continued to talk nasty while tugging at my hair. My back was in a full arch and ass tooted up. Thank the Lord our fence was twelve feet high.

A few more powerful strokes and we both climaxed at the same time. Adonis collapsed on to my back breathing like he had just run the Boston Marathon. My damn legs were numb as hell from the position I was in and the scalding water on my skin.

Adonis was going to have to carry me into the house. He reigned kisses all over my upper back and even rubbed at my now throbbing sore peach. He kissed up to my ear and whispered into it.

"I meant what I said Lois. This pussy is mine, and we are in this until the end. For better or worse until death do us part."

Adonis planted another kiss to my temple and got out of the hot tub. He headed toward the house soaking wet. What the hell was he getting at? Did Adonis suspect infidelity on my part? Did he know I was looking for a divorce attorney?

I was going to have to be more vigilant around my husband from here on out. I attempted to stand, and my legs gave way. There was no way I was moving for the next few minutes. I grabbed the champagne bottle and drank from it. Adonis was playing mind games, and I needed to know why.

Now I really did not want contact with Bash outside of my sister. If he had in any way divulged our secrets, we were going to have serious consequences to deal with.
