Real Riders Never Die 3 Page 8

  Kia wiped her mouth and watched him drop to his knees on the side of the dead animal. He looked him up and down before screaming to the top of his lungs.

  “Why did you do that?”

  “Because your cousin wouldn’t get him. I asked, but he wouldn’t. I wasn’t about to let the muthafucka eat me.” Kia cocked her gun again to let the man know she wasn’t about to allow him to bully her.

  Kerry grabbed her arm and began pulling her toward the door. Kia looked down at the man and almost felt sorry for him until she noticed that Kerry was in nothing but a towel. Serves his nasty ass right. Kia turned her nose up and continued down the hall. Cooper gave the ugliest grimace he could muster, which wasn’t that hard being that he was the most hideous man in the world, as they walked past.

  When they got outside, Kia ran to the driver side of her car and popped the locks for Kerry to get in. They both shuffled into the car as fast as they could before Kia sped off. She drove at maximum speed, trying to get out of the neighborhood. When she got back to the highway, she slowed down and looked over at Kerry. She looked her up and down, trying to figure out what in the hell she was thinking.

  “What’s going on with you, Kerry?”

  “I’m on drugs. I snort powder and the shit is taking over me. I need help, no I don’t want to talk about it, and please don’t tell Jacko.”

  “We don’t have to talk about it, you just need to figure out what the hell you’re going to do to get back on track. As far as Jacko goes, he’s out of town right now, so I couldn’t tell him if I wanted to. Furthermore, that’s the only reason I’m about to let you come to my house.”

  Kerry looked at her.

  “Before you say anything, I’m only taking you there because I already know Cooper’s punk ass is going to be looking for you later. If he comes to my house, I’m killing his ass, and it’s as simple as that.”

  “Thank you,” Kerry said in a low tone.

  “It’s no problem. Just tighten up.”

  They drove the rest of the way in silence, both of them wrapped in their own thoughts. When they got home, Kia gave her everything she would need for the night before going about her way. She didn’t want to crowd her, nor did she really feel like being bothered. She was just happy that she might actually get some sleep for the first time since Jacko left. With Kerry there, she had company, so she wouldn’t be overwhelmed with negative thoughts about the Cameroon situation.

  Chapter Six

  Taryn,

  How are you? How’s Ayo? I’m writing you this letter because I want you to know that I’m here and that I’m coming to get you both. I just have to make sure that I show my face when the time is right. I miss your ass so much that it’s driving me fucking crazy. I think about you all damn day and night. I can probably count how many hours I’ve slept on one hand. All I can think about is bringing you and Ayo back home. I miss your smile, I miss your smell, I miss that sexy ass chocolate skin and how it tastes when it melts in my mouth. You smiling now, ain’t you? You should be, hell you should be squeezing them thick ass thighs closer together because I know that pussy thumping.

  Last night I stayed up all night thinking about how soft your voice gets when you moan in my ear and how tight and warm your body feels when I’m up in it. I know you’re probably all sad and shit, so let me give you something to hold onto real quick. Anytime you get ready to cry and feel like you want to give up, think about how good this dick feels when I’m busting you down. Lol. I miss you baby. I’m trying to lighten the mood because this is a fucked up situation, but don’t worry. I’m coming. I’ll be there soon, baby girl. And when I get there I’m taking you back home with me. I love you. Kiss Ayo for me and tell him Daddy will be there soon.

  Oh, and if Ornella does something to you, slap her muthafucking ass. You big, you can take her. Lol. I’m impatiently counting down the days until I can see and be with you again. Did I tell you I love you? Because I do. Be a good wife and stay strong. Love you Tee.

  Your husband, Demoto.

  Taryn read the letter that Uzoma had given her for the fifth time. He had come in a few minutes prior and woke her to give her the folded up paper. She was a tad bit confused for a minute because she didn’t know what was going on, but once he told her it was from Demoto, she hopped right up. Taryn sat up in her bed and read the letter, yet again. It was the closest she’d been to her husband in days and it was hard.

  Reading his words and hearing his voice as she read it had her so anxious that she could hardly sit still. She knew before he even told her that he was coming, but having him confirm it reassured her that it would happen. It had been yet another full day, and nothing had happened yet, but now she was okay with that. The fact that she knew he was working hard to get to her, and would, when he could, made her feel better.

  After reading certain parts of the letter again, Taryn stuffed it down in her bra and lay back in the bed. The large brown clock on the dresser in front of her let her know that it was a little past three o’clock in the morning. She closed her eyes and tried to go back to sleep the best she could, but she couldn’t. Her mind was too full. She lay there awake, playing in Ayo’s hair.

  He had been asleep for hours now and didn’t look like he had any plans of waking up. Unlike her, he had no idea that things were going wrong. All he knew was that he and his mother were visiting his grandmother. He had toys, clothes, food, and everything else that he could possibly want. It was nothing more than a vacation to him. While to her it was torture.

  The subtle turn of her doorknob made Taryn’s head move in its direction. She tried to stay as still as possible while waiting for whoever was out there to come in, just in case she had to pretend like she was still sleeping. When she saw the tall shadow with dreads, she knew it was Uzoma. She turned back around and faced the window like she’d been and waited for him to say something.

  When he didn’t say anything, she was about to turn back over and ask him what was going on, but then she felt his hand. It slid up her back then to her head. He grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her head back.

  “Uzoma, get your damn hands off of me and get out of here.”

  “So, you don’t know your man’s touch now? I know it ain’t been that long.”

  Taryn screamed on the inside. Her eyes bucked as she hurried to flip her body over. She could tell it was Demoto’s voice, even through his whispers. She grabbed his face and pulled him down onto the bed and kissed all over his face. She could see his smile in the dark.

  “I missed you, baby girl.”

  “I missed you too. How’d you get in here with nobody seeing you?”

  “Uzoma. He brought me some of his clothing and helped me come in. The soldiers thought I was him.”

  “What if someone sees you on your way back out?”

  Demoto kissed her face. “They won’t. Don’t worry about that. I just couldn’t stay away any longer.”

  Taryn pushed his ponytail full of locs out of his face as he stood back up. She watched him walk coolly to the door and lock it. When he turned around, he pulled the hoodie over his head and dropped it to the floor, followed by his boots and jeans. When he was in nothing but his boxers, he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her to the edge of the bed.

  He rubbed up the inside of her thigh with the pad of his thumb, setting off every nerve ending in her body. Warmth overpowered her as she became aware of his presence. He stood between her legs, allowing his fingers to do the most of his touching. Aside from the slight poking of his penis against her center, Demoto’s hand put Taryn’s body at ease.

  She fought the urge to moan when his fingers dipped into the bottom of her loose cotton shorts and into the slowly building fountain in her panties.

  “I missed you so much, Tee.” Demoto looked down at her with a slight frown in his forehead. He licked his bottom lip before tucking it between his teeth. “Being away from you makes me feel so alone. I didn’t think I was going to make it when I first heard you sc
reaming on my voicemail.” Demoto’s finger dipped deeper into her valley, causing one of her legs to tighten around his waist.

  This motion pulled him closer to her, making the hard head of his penis push harder against her throbbing love.

  “Tell me you love me, Tee.” Demoto’s face looked a little tortured as he continued to push his finger in and out of her body. “Tell me that you’ll never leave me.”

  Taryn wrapped both of her legs around his waist and rubbed his abs with her hands. “I love you more than anything, Moto. There’s nothing in this world that would make me leave you.”

  Demoto’s eyes closed as he listened to her tell him the very thing he’d been waiting to hear for days. He leaned over and kissed up her stomach until he got to her mouth. They shared one of the most passionate kisses that he had ever experienced. With both of their eyes closed, breathing in the air from each other, feeding off the energy, the love, the passion, and the desire for the other, Taryn and Demoto connected to each other fervently.

  After a little more touching and a little more kissing, Demoto stood back and freed Taryn of her shorts, then her shirt. He then pulled his own undergarments down and was back on top of her. He was about to lower himself down onto her fully, but stopped. His eyes went down to hers with a question. He then slid his hand down to her stomach and grabbed it. Taryn looked at him and smiled.

  “Another baby.”

  Demoto closed his eyes and kissed her lips. He then lowered himself to her stomach and kissed that too before going back to her face.

  “How far along? Why didn’t you tell me?”

  “I wanted to surprise you, but this happened.” Taryn looked around the room in reference to her kidnapping.

  “Gotdamn. I’m about to fuck this pussy up for real now.”

  Demoto leaned back and grabbed the base of his dick. He rubbed up against her slowly, getting the tip of it wet with her juices. He sucked air through his teeth as he felt the first tingly sensations shoot down the head of his girth. When he felt that she was good and ready, he slid it in as deep as he could go and hurried to kiss her lips.

  The scream she released was muffled with his tongue as he licked and sucked on her mouth. With his hand entangled with hers, he worked his hips, massaging her insides with his tool. He maintained eye contact with her as he worked her body over. Every so often she would try to close her eyes, only for him to order them back open.

  It wasn’t long before he felt the first shudders from her body. She shivered and shook lightly as he pounded in and out. Feeling the vibrations from her body brought about his own climax. All Taryn saw were the whites of his eyeballs as his eyes rolled backward in his head. He grunted and squeezed the side of her waist as hard as he could as he emptied himself into her.

  “Oh shit. Girl, this pussy be having me weak as fuck.” Demoto fell beside her on the bed and kissed her forehead.

  Taryn scooted as close as she could to him and threw her leg over his body. With his arm around her, Taryn snuggled closer to get comfortable. He rubbed her head, trying to soothe her from her orgasm.

  “I have to go, baby.”

  “No.” Taryn squeezed her arm tighter around his waist. “Take us with you. Please don’t leave us here.”

  “It’s not time yet, Tee. I promise to take you with me when I can. Now is too risky.”

  Taryn’s eyes began to water as she thought about being without him again. He rubbed her back and kissed her forehead as he told her over and over that he would be back. He stayed with her until he was able to pry himself out of her arms. He dressed quickly before telling her to do the same. When she was fully dressed and back in bed, he kissed her forehead again and exited as quietly as he came in.

  Taryn lay in the dark praying and trying her hardest to stop her tears from flowing. It seemed almost unbearable to know that he was there and she couldn’t be with him. Taryn cried so hard that her sobs began to rock her body. She was ready to go home. He had been there, close to her, and had to leave again.

  “Taryn, stop crying. The time will be here soon.” Uzoma’s voice filled her room.

  She looked over her shoulder at him. He walked further into the room with his hand outstretched toward her. The room was dark, so she had to focus her eyes on his hand. He was holding a phone. Taryn looked at it before grabbing it from him. She pressed it to her ear, but didn’t say anything.

  “Stop it, Tee. I’ll be back soon, baby girl. Okay? I love you.”

  Taryn sniffed. “I know. I love you, too.”

  “Stop all that damn crying and think about that dick I just put on you.”

  Taryn smiled.

  “I know you over there smiling. Quit all that fucking crying. I’ll be back soon.”

  “Okay,” she whispered.

  “Tell me you love me.”

  “I love you.”

  “Kiss my boy and tell my lil one in your stomach I love them too.”

  After Taryn told him that she would, she gave the phone back to Uzoma, and he left the room. Taryn felt better than she had a few moments before as she sank back into her pillow. The body shattering orgasm she’d just had mixed with exhaustion had her asleep within minutes.

  The next morning Taryn woke up refreshed. After all the crying she’d done, she’d fallen into such a deep and peaceful sleep that it was nearing twelve o’clock in the afternoon and she was just getting up. She grabbed Ayo out of the bed with his little lazy butt and walked them to the bathroom. She shook him lightly, waking him up, and removed his clothing. When he was completely undressed, she removed her own clothing as well and turned on the shower.

  Once the water was warm enough, she grabbed him and they got in together. She washed his body before washing hers. She bathed them each two times before taking a seat on the bench in the shower and pulling him on her lap. He laid his head against her chest and sat still. Taryn rocked him back and forth as she thought about being at home in her own shower.

  They stayed in the shower until the water began to get colder. She wrapped them both in towels and walked back into the room. When she got inside there was a folded piece of paper on the dresser. The red cardboard stood out, so she walked right to it. When she picked it up, her heart nearly burst out of her chest.

  It’s time.

  Those were the only two words on the paper and she couldn’t be happier. The only thing that stopped her from jumping and skipping around the room was the sick feeling in her stomach. It was a nagging feeling, and not from her baby. This was really about to happen. What if something happened to her, Ayo, or Demoto? How would this all turn out? Taryn sat Ayo down on the bed, and he rolled over quickly and lay back down.

  Holding her stomach, she thought about all the negative outcomes. She paced the floor, still in her towel, as she held the red paper in her hand. Her mind was so gone she literally had to grab her head to contain her thoughts. She was letting her brain get the best of her, so she shook it off the best she could and went to the closet to grab some clothes.

  She stood, staring at the closet full of things, and thought about taking it all with her when she left. Ornella had picked out such nice things for her and Ayo. It would be a shame to let it all go to waste. She ran her hands over the clothing before deciding on a pair of shorts and quarter length shirt. Once she put it on, she grabbed the brush from the dresser and brushed all of her hair up into a bun.

  The gold earrings and watch she’d been wearing when they took her were still on the dresser, so she took them and put them on. When she looked put together enough, she walked to the smaller dresser where Ayo’s clothing was. She grabbed a short sleeve Nike outfit and the pair of Nike’s she’d bought him.

  She looked at him lying on the bed like he’d worked the night before. He was knocked out with his hair all over the pillow. His hands were above his head and legs were kicked out. Taryn giggled to herself at the sight of his little naked brown body. He was so chocolate and cute. She could just eat him up. When Taryn began sliding on
his underwear he stirred awake and looked at her. He rubbed his eyes and looked around the room.

  “Mommy, I’m ready to go to your house.”

  “Aww, man. Mommy wants to go to her house, too. We’re going to go soon.”

  “I want my daddy.”

  Taryn kissed his nose and pulled his shirt over his head. “I do too, baby. He’s coming.”

  When she finished getting him dressed, she put lotion on him then pulled all his hair up into a small ponytail at the back of his neck. Once they were both dressed, Taryn didn’t know what else to do, so she grabbed his hand and walked out of the room. They walked down the hallway hand-in-hand. Taryn didn’t know exactly where they were going, she just needed to get out of the room.

  When she walked into the living room, there were a few soldiers there, but no one else. They were sitting in the living room watching TV and eating. She held Ayo’s hand tighter as they bypassed them and walked to the front door. She looked over her shoulder at them before pushing the screen door open and walking onto the porch.

  She sat down on the rocking chair with Ayo in her lap and looked out at the large yard in front of them. She rocked back and forth until he started squirming to get out of her lap. Taryn put him down just as Ornella walked out the door.

  “Taryn, can I speak with you for a second please?”

  Taryn thought about saying no since she knew Demoto was coming and there was no reason to be nice to her anymore, but she couldn’t. Ornella had been very polite to her since she’d gotten there, so she would show her the same courtesy. Taryn stood and called for Ayo to follow her into the house. She walked behind Ornella as they trailed to the back of the house.

  When they stopped they were in front of a room that she hadn’t seen since they’d been there. It was filled with TV’s and large, comfortable chairs. She stepped to the side and motioned for Taryn to take one of the seats. Taryn looked a little confused, but sat down anyway. Her eyes roamed around the room watching every move that Ornella made.
