@berberriescorner
Okay Sissy! You're gonna have to forgive me! I KNOW this was supposed to be a drabble but YOU KNOW how we are about our man so....here's 2.4k of our favorite sarcastic ass, sexy ass, mean ass, possessive ass, beautiful ass husband, okay? đ Love you mucho-mucho!
~I Got This~
You were speeding through downtown when you used your carâs voice command to reach your husband, hoping he would pick up. Standing on the warehouse floor, Rio was distracted when he answered your call.
âBabe, where you at?â
Rio frowned at your abrupt greeting, immediately focusing all his attention on you. âWhatâs up?â
âNothingâŚyou busy?â
Walking to a quieter area, he said the words you wanted to hear, âDonât matter. Talk to me.â
âMeet me at Neroâs for a minute?â
Ten minutes later you were parked in the lot of a strip mall with Rio sitting in your passenger seat. He squeezed your thigh, encouraging you to spill it all, listening carefully as you relayed what had happened as calmly as you could.
You had spent all morning at the dealership because of a warning light on your dash. The problem with that was your car wasnât even a year old and they wanted to replace the same part for the third time. Then your mechanic called for the service department manager and it all went downhill from there. Despite your calm demeanor, this Lucas person was a scowling, snippy mess from the moment his name was called. He sat at the small desk across from you leaning forward just enough into your personal space for anyone with a brain to feel uncomfortable. Then while you attempted to explain that it was a three time repeat repair, he talked over you, regurgitating what the mechanic had already told you. With your frustration and your volume rising, you told him to look at your carâs history but he stood up and planted both of his hands on the desk - aggressively and loudly stating that the work needed to be done before walking away.
While you sat in the waiting area you decided that you were going to take it up with corporate instead of dealing with some manâs ego. Mentally you had moved on but once your car was ready, the service manager himself brought your final paperwork - and his attitude to have you sign off and receive your keys. Seeing that they were actually charging you for the part again, you couldnât help but question the logic behind it. At that point, he didnât even try to remain professional. He tossed a pen across the desk at you and snapped, âJust sign it already!â before he walked away. Leaving the poor, wide-eyed mechanic to hand you your keys and an quiet apology of sorts.
While listening to you, Rioâs face was on lock down. The only showing of anger was his flared nostrils and his stiff shoulders. For him, it wasnât about the money at all. The thought of a man disrespecting you like that had his heart beating double time and his mind racing.
Finished with your story, you sighed, dropping your head back on the headrest. âThe whole thing was stupid. He wanted me to act up, I could feel it - but itâll be fine. Iâll call corporate later and get it straight. And Iâm putting in a complaint on his ass.âÂ
No you wonât. Rioâs jaw was locked tight when he said, âNaw, I got this, mama. Give me the papers.â
Hearing his flat tone, you immediately opened your eyes and sat up. âChris, I can handle it. Iâm just pissed off and I needed to see youâŚget my head right before I went home.â Giving him a soft smile, you cradled his cheek in your palm, stroking your thumb over his scruffy beard, âYou know how I am. I promise Iâm good.â
His steely expression slowly turned soft. âI know you can handle it, ma.â Taking your hand to give it a kiss, his mouth turned up lazily on one side. âBut itâs about more than that. Imma take care of you, aight? Come on. Gimmie.â
Popping open the glove box, you handed him your workup and receipt. You watched him flip through the pages until he found two other names scrawled next to yours. âTony Ramirez and Lucas Reilly.â Frowning, he asked, âWhich one.â
Leaning over, you tapped your fingernail on the printout, making a yuck-face remembering, âHim.â
âYou sure?â
âYep.â
Rio stared at his name for a second.
Lucas motherfucking Reilly. The man who disrespected his wife, in public no less. If it had been just verbal maybe heâd consider staying out of it, but leaning into her? Chucking a pen at her? That was a man being physical toward his wife, a man trying to be threatening, no matter if she saw it that way or not.
âHe fucked up.â
Catching his tone, you looked over at him. âChris--?â
The worried look on your face made him lean over, cupping the back of your neck to smother your concern with the kind of kiss that reminded you of exactly who your man was and that he did not play about you.Â
With his lips still brushing against yours, he rumbled out a promise, âI got youâŚalways. You know that.â
Holding his forearm, you pulled back to study his dark eyes before pressing a few soft kisses to his lips. âI know. I love you.â
âLove you too, maâŚI gotta get back.â
âOkay.â
Getting out, he closed your door. Walking to his car, he flashed you a sultry smirk over his shoulder. Bursting into giggles, you backed out of the parking space giving him a wave. Rio was on his phone with âa friendâ before you made it out of the lot.
This was not going to get a pass.

When Lucas Reilly walked inside his house, he hit the switch for the foyer light but nothing happened. Flipping the switch again, he huffed out a curse. Walking further into his home, he tossed his keys and phone on the coffee table. Fussing to himself in the dark on the way to the kitchen, he damn near swallowed his gum when he saw a slim man with a tattooed neck standing less than two feet in front of him. His eyes widened right before Rio gut punched him, folding him to the floor.
Coughing and sucking in air, Lucas struggled to his feet, feeling hands patting on him.
âSorry, bro,â the thin man chuckled. âI didnât think youâd go down like that.â Â
Lucas jerked away, standing up straight. Squared up, he was ready this time but the man called him by his name. Â
âLucas, right?â
Lucasâ frown softened a little in his confusion but he still tried for bravado, âWho are you? Get the fuck outta of my house!â
âNah.â
Taking a step backwards, poor instincts and panic made Lucas reach for his phone.
âDonât do that.â
The confidence in the strangerâs command plus seeing the gold gun in his hand stopped him. Lucas swallowed hard at the manâs lazy smile and slow blinks.Â
âWhat do you want?â
âDepends.â Planting his feet, he rolled his shoulders back. Crossing his wrists just below his waist, the gun dangled heavy and powerful from his hand. âI mean, me? I just wanted to meet you, have a little talk. You good with that? That alright?â
The casual way he spoke made Lucasâ stomach turn sour in fear. With his heart racing, he nodded yes.
âGood, good.â The faint smile on the strangerâs face was cold. âSo, you work over at Neilsonâs BMW right? Mechanic?â
âI-Iâm the service manager.â
Nodding his head Rio continued, taking a step closer. âOkayâŚservice manager. So like, youâre over all the mechanics?â
âRight.â His voice came out on a breath and Rio smiled softly.
âSo you manage the work and the customer service part of your department. LikeâŚif anybody gets outta line, itâs you that straightens them out?â
Confused as to where this conversation was going, Lucas hesitated.
âCome onâŚbe honest.â Rio crooned in his raspy voice, taking another two swaying steps forward. âEverything is going so good.â
Is it?Â
Having him closer, Lucas could see every detail of Rioâs expression. His lowered eyelids, the slight upturn in the corners of his lips, the drawing together of his eyebrows that didnât quite shape a frown. Somehow his face was relaxed but wholly concentrated. And while his tone was almost friendly, his eyes were bottomless dark pools. For Lucas, when he tilted his chin up, exposing the tattooed wings of the bird on his neck - it was like watching a cobra rise and spread its hood. Mesmerizing, terrifying but he couldnât look away. Every warning bell in his body was going off but he couldnât move.
âLucas?â Rioâs voice was softer, coaxing but in no way comforting. âYou said customer service, too, right?â
âUh, yeah.â Lucas swallowed, blinking, snapping out of it. âYeah, thatâs right.â
Rio chuckled just once, his expression changed to mock confusion, âWell, help me understand something. If youâre the one in charge of it, how is it that I heard you were talking crazy to my wife?â
âMe?â He sputtered. âW-What the hell is going on?! Man, I donât know your wife!â
Rioâs eyes widened, âYou donât?â
âNo! LookâŚif she got into it with one of my guys I can--â.
âNah, donât worry about it. My misunderstanding.â Rio wet his lips and nodded as if satisfied, putting his gun on the coffee table. âCool. Guess I wonât be needing this after all.â Â
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief letting his guard down, right before he felt the painful shock of being jabbed in the throat. And the strikes kept coming, hard and fast - body shot after body shot. Years of practiced self-control in the ring helped Rio stay in the torso area despite his anger. After all, this wasnât a fight, it was a punishment. Plus Rio needed him to be able to go back to work.
Lucas tried to swing back at first but Rio landed a kidney punch that dropped him to the ground with a high cry. And once he hit the floor, Rio circled him to kick him in the back of his thigh. The strangled sound he heard Lucas make almost made him smile but after two more perfectly placed kicks, Rio stopped. He watched Lucas writhe around on the ground, pathetic and whimpering, gasping for air. Whereâd the tough guy go?
Rio rolled Lucas onto his back, dropping a knee in his chest and pressing his gun into his forehead.
âFunny thingâŚturns out you did meet my wife today.â Rio reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, holding it up with your picture on the screen. Recognition flashed in Lucasâ eyes and fear made him lose control of his bladder.Â
âAw shit!â he wheezed, choking on a sob. âIâm sorry, man. Iâm sorry! I was--â.
âYou were what?!â Rio spat with his jaw tight. âYouâre sorry for what?! Snappinâ on her? Throwinâ shit at her?â Rio thumped the end of his gun hard on his forehead twice, spacing out his next words carefully - each one wrapped in his menacing rasp. âTell me somethinââŚwhere were your infamous customer service skills when you were talking to her?â
Between the pain and Rioâs weight on his chest, Lucas could only suck in enough air to plead, âPlease, man. Please!â
âShhhhh! Relax.â Rio patted his cheek hard a couple times before he stood up to tower over the man, pleased by his continued struggle to breathe. Tucking his gun at his back, his face was void of expression. âYou messed up, but itâs alright. Cuz youâre gonna fix it.â
Shielding his face and stomach with his arms, he rushed to answer. âOkay! I- Iâll call corporate and get your money back and everything,â he gasped out. âJust please donât--â.
Rio flashed a beaming smile that didnât erase the coldness in his eyes. âThatâs a great idea, Lucas. When were you gonna do that?â
âTomorrow,â he groaned. âTomorrow! I swear!â
Rio dropped his chin and raised his eyebrows, inquiring as if the man had a choice. âYou sure?â
âYes! Tomorrow!â
âGood,â he said turning away. Turning back, he flashed another toothy smile. âOh and thanks for taking care of it so fast, yeah? Sheâll be real happy about that.â
Moving back over to him, Rio held out his hand to Lucas to help him up. Lucas stared at him unsure if it was safe to move. Rio waggled his fingers at him, keeping his arm extended, âCome on.â
As soon as Lucasâ fingers touched his, Rio delivered one more kick, this time to his balls. The way Lucasâ face contorted in a silent holler was a true reward for Rio. Thatâs for my girl. After watching him roll onto his side, moaning, clutching his crotch, Rio stepped back. âCall you tomorrow, Lucas.â
Without waiting for a response, he strolled out the kitchen door and walked down the block to his car. Sliding in on the passenger side, he gave Mick a quick pound.
âWhere to?â
âPick up. Central and Clayton.â
Mick gave a slight nod and pulled off.

8:46 pm
Seeing Rioâs name pop up on your phone, you sank back into the corner of the couch and drew your feet up, âHey, baby.â
The warmth in your voice immediately relaxed him, loosening his grip on the steering wheel. âHey mama.â
How many nights had he worked late this week? Just hearing his voice stirred up a need within you to be close to him, âAm I gonna see you tonight?â
âYeah, on my way now. You hungry? Want me to pick up something?â
I love him your honor! âI could eat. Something small though.â
âAight then, what do you want, darlinâ?â
âMmmâŚsurprise me.â
Rioâs rumbling chuckle warmed your neck, âI got you.â
âYou always do. Drive safe. I love you.â
âLove you.â
Before he could disconnect you had a thought. âKnow what?â
âHm?â
Hugging yourself, you made another request, âSkip the foodâŚjust come home, okay?â
The new huskiness in your voice said more to him than your words did. His notorious slow smile crept up on his lips during his pause in answering you. Wetting his lips and adjusting in his seat - his raspy voice dipped just a touch lower in pitch. âOh, itâs l like that?â
Heat flushed your face and neck. His teasing always reduced you to a giggling high schooler, âMaybe.â
âMaybe?â
âBoy, just come home!â
Rioâs belly laugh filled your ear and your heart. âBet.â
Okay, I know my commentary is way late, but I always get so wrapped up in this one. I end up grinning like an idiot and then circling back to your other content, sissy. I remembered this time, and I hope you get a huge cackle out of me and my nonsense đ.
Walking to a quieter area, he said the words you wanted to hear, âDonât matter. Talk to me.â
It donât make no damn sense the way my body reacted off his response alone.
He squeezed your thigh, encouraging you to spill it all, listening carefully as you relayed what had happened as calmly as you could.
Iâm supposed to be in my feelings and this man over here turning me on! Send help.
you told him to look at your carâs history but he stood up and planted both of his hands on the desk - aggressively and loudly stating that the work needed to be done before walking away.
Karate chop his ass in the throat right damn now!
Seeing that they were actually charging you for the part again, you couldnât help but question the logic behind it.
Ring, ring! Uh, yes, bank manager? Iâma need you to put a stop payment on something for me right quick. Cause they got me f*cked up!
He tossed a pen across the desk at you and snapped, âJust sign it already!â
In the words of MadeaâŚ
He wanted me to act up, I could feel it -
He really did!
Rio was on his phone with âa friendâ before you made it out of the lot.
Poor, stupid, weak-ass, Lucas. He bout to get the scariest most terrifying shock of his life.
His eyes widened right before Rio gut punched him, folding him to the floor.
Why am I smiling so damn hard at this?!
The confidence in the strangerâs command plus seeing the gold gun in his hand stopped him.
Oh, lawd! Not the gold gunâheâs beyond pissed.
âWell, help me understand something. If youâre the one in charge of it, how is it that I heard you were talking crazy to my wife?â
Lord knows it wouldâve been a mess if I wouldâve been standing there with him. Soon as the question came out I wouldâve hit Lucas with a:
He watched Lucas writhe around on the ground, pathetic and whimpering, gasping for air. Whereâd the tough guy go?
THATâS RIGHT HUBBY!! BEAT HIS ASSSSSS!!
âYou were what?!â Rio spat with his jaw tight. âYouâre sorry for what?! Snappinâ on her? Throwinâ shit at her?â Rio thumped the end of his gun hard on his forehead twice, spacing out his next words carefully - each one wrapped in his menacing rasp.
Well, answer him, tough guy!
Hugging yourself, you made another request, âSkip the foodâŚjust come home, okay?â
Oh! We hungryâfor some Dâyou know what Iâma chill.
As always, this was freaking incredible, sissyđĽ°âĽď¸!!

Dick Halloran was exhausted down to the bone.
The kind of tired that didnât just settle in the muscles but climbed into your ribs, lodged behind your heartbeat, sat heavy behind your eyes. Work had been long, the hours cruel, and every single person heâd passed on the street had been loud inside his head. That was the cost of the Shine sometimes you controlled it, sometimes it controlled you.
But stepping through the apartment door and seeing her, all that noise melted away.
Evangeline lay curled on the couch in the dim light of their living room, her cheek pressed into the throw pillow. One hand rested over her belly, round and tender, holding their baby like she was keeping the whole world safe underneath that palm. She mustâve meant to wait up for him, but sleep won.
Dickâs chest tightened with something soft, heavy, protective.
He quietly placed his keys down, toes nudging off his shoes. Then he approached and crouched beside her, gently brushing the back of his fingers along her arm.
âEva,â he murmured.
Nothing but a tiny shift, a sleepy huff, her curls brushing across her cheek. She looked so peaceful it almost hurt to wake her.
So he didnât.
Instead, he slid one arm beneath her legs and one behind her back, lifting her gently slow, slow, careful not to startle her. Pregnancy made her lighter in some ways, heavier in others. She melted instinctively against his chest, face nuzzling into the warm skin of his collarbone.
He carried her to their bedroom and laid her on the bed. She curled onto her side instinctively, her hand moving back to her bump as if she were checking to make sure the baby was still there.
Dick pressed a kiss to her forehead, pulled a blanket over her, and let her drift deeper.
A shower helped peel the day off him. Steam fogged the mirror, hot water beating across his back, loosening every knot the world put there. But when he stepped out toweling off, breathing easier he heard it.
Her voice.
Soft. Barely formed. Half-asleep.
ââŚDickâŚâ
He froze.
Another breath. A faint whisper.
âDick⌠babyâŚâ
He didnât hesitate.
He walked to the bed but she was still asleep, brows drawn the slightest bit, her lips parted like she was trying to call out but couldnât quite reach him.
She wasnât awake.
She was pulling him.
With the Shine.
âAll right, sweetheart,â he murmured, lying down beside her and placing his hand gently over the curve of her belly. âIf youâre callinâ⌠Iâm cominâ.â
He let his eyes close, let the hum in his chest open, let the world blurâ
And then he stepped into her dream.
⸝
He landed in color.
A bright, lush, lived-in sort of color the bedroom wasnât theirs, not exactly, but some dream version of it. The walls were painted in deep blues and honeyed ambers. The air was hazy with warmth. And on the far side of the room, a record player spun softly.
Sam Cooke.
Bring It On Home To Me.
And in the middle of it allâŚ
Evangeline.
She stood in front of a vanity mirror, wrapped in a short silk nightgown the color of rosewater. Her hair was in soft rollers, giving her a halo of glamorous, old Hollywood curls. A cigarette glowed between her fingers, the smoke lazily curling upward.
She was swaying her hips gently, humming to the music, admiring herself in the mirror.
Dick exhaled, because there she was every inch of her glowing, alive, dreamy, perfect.
In the mirror, her eyes suddenly lifted.
They found him instantly.
She turned slowly, lips curling into a teasing smile. One hand rested on her hip. The other tapped out ash into a glass dish.
â Well wellâ, she drawled accent slow and sweet.
â What you doinâ here, Dick Halloran?!â
He shoved his hands into his pockets, leaning back in the corner chair like heâd been there all along.
â You were callin me,â he said simply. â You know how it is, Eva. You call my name, I show up every timeâ.
Her hips swayed as she walked toward him, each step pulling his gaze along with her. Dick watched her like he couldnât help himself, his teeth catching his bottom lip as the space between them slowly disappeared.
Dickâs hand lifted, the back of his knuckles brushing her thigh. He slid his palm up slowly slow enough to make her breathe in a sharp little gasp until he rested it against the curve of her nightgown. His thumb grazed the soft fabric, then pressed just a bit firmer as he dragged his hand down the length of it.
She didnât give him time to think. She just swung one knee over his thigh, then the other, easing herself into his lap with practiced familiarity. His hands went straight to her waist, fingers spreading as though he needed to anchor himself.
âIâm glad you did,â she whispered, leaning in.
Her lips brushed his first soft, sweet, tasting of her favorite candy butterscotch and a hint of cigarette . Dick let out a low sound against her mouth, his hands sliding down from her waist to the curve of her hips. Then lower. He cupped her behind with both hands, pulling her just a little closer, slow and deliberate.
Dicks hands slid back up back up to her sides, following the shape of her body like he had traced it a thousand times. And then just for a second, his touch slowed, almost thoughtful . The familiar swell he always took such care with wasnât there.
He didnât pull back. Didnât stop kissing her.
He just murmured it against her skin, low and almost smiling:
âMm⌠you ainât carryinâ tonight.â
Evangeline breathed out softly, lips brushing his jaw as she kept kissing him, her fingers curling at the back of his neck.
âNot in here,â she whispered. âNot right now.â
Dickâs eyes flicked up to hers, warm and wanting, his hands still stroking her waist.
She kissed the corner of his mouth.
âI love carryinâ your baby,â she said quietly, brushing her nose against his. âBut since the bump grew, you barely touch me anymore.â
His breath hitched, just barely
And this is my dream,â she murmured, settling deeper onto his lap. âSo I get to be what I want. And tonight?â
Her lips brushed his again, soft as a secret.
âI donât wanna be pregnant. And I donât want you treatinâ me like Iâm gonna break.â
He hiked her night gown higher, keeping his eyes on hers, dark and heavy with desire.
âThis what you wanted, baby?â he murmured, voice thick and velvety, fingers sliding slowly up her thigh, brushing the soft skin beneath the nightgown.
Evangeline tilted her head back slightly, lips parting, and whispered softlyâ
â Not thereâŚ. here.â
She guided his hand with a gentle, deliberate motion, pressing it exactly where she wanted him most between her legs. Her body shifted instinctively, rocking lightly against his fingers, letting him feel the way she moved, how much she wanted him.
Dickâs lips grazed the curve of her neck, half-lidded, watching her every twitch and shiver. âGod, baby⌠you so wet for me,â he murmured, voice husky, and smooth, low enough that only she could hear the need in it. âAll for me.â
His lips returned to hers, soft at first, brushing along hers in a way that made warmth coil through her chest. Then he pressed closer, mouth opening against hers with a hunger that was impossible to resist, exploring every inch of her lips. She parted willingly, letting him in, letting him take the lead as her body instinctively leaned into his.
Her hands wrapped around his broad shoulders, pressing into him, feeling the strong steady weight beneath her palms as she pulled him closer. Each shift of her body, each press and tilt, guided their movements naturally, matching the slow, urgent rhythm of his mouth on hers.
Their tongues met, sliding against each other in a soft, searching dance, exploring, tasting, a fluid exchange of heat and desire. Every glide, every brush carried a warmth that radiated through her, making her chest press into his, thighs tightening in response to the closeness between them.
Her hands tightened on his shoulders, nails grazing the fabric of his shirt as she rocked more insistently, leaning into him, letting herself be completely carried by the sensation. Low hums and soft gasps escaped her lips, a language of pleasure without words.
Dick whispered her name into her mouth, deep and rough, voice thick with warmth and need. âMm⌠thatâs it, baby⌠just like that,â he murmured, his fingers never slowing, keeping pace with her every motion.
A soft, breathy whimper escaped her lips. âIâm closeâŚâ she murmured, voice trembling, barely audible against his mouth. Her eyes rolled back slightly, lashes fluttering, letting him see the depth of the sensation coursing through her.
A shiver ran through her body, heat pooling low in her belly, and just as she was about to let goâ
Evangeline gasped, eyes flying open.
Morning sunlight pooled across the sheets. The record player was still. Her nightgown was different. Her body was warm with the after echo of pleasure.
Across the room, Dick sat in the armchair with the morning paper folded neatly in his hands. He looked maddeningly calm. A picture of innocence.
He didnât glance at her.
âMorning,â he said, casual as could be, turning a page.
She pushed herself upright, heart still thudding.
âDick.â
âMm?â he hummed, eyes on the paper.
âYou were in my dream.â
âOh?â he said, not looking up. âThat so?â
Her eyes narrowed. âDonât play with me. You were there.â
He paused.
Lowered the newspaper just enough to show his eyes.
There was a spark in them. A knowing one.
âOh?â he said slowly. âWhat was I doinâ?â
