Someone I love has been building something pretty special.
SeatForAll is helping people understand what accessibility is really like at venues before they arrive, from parking and entrances to seating, navigation, sensory considerations, and more.
It’s a project that’s been built through a lot of hard work, research, and visits to venues across the community.
To learn more, visit:

the biggest mistake of your life is him.
at first there was nothing to be ashamed of. just quick glances back and forth at the bar after you'd had a long, fucked up day and needed a drink, or 4, to decompress.
the faint, melodic sound of rain riddling the roof served as a yet another sign that you weren’t supposed to be there. it wasn’t your usual bar of choice, but a client of yours lived on that side of town and needed you to make a house call. you usually didn’t do those, but you figured why not?
you’d know soon enough.
you observe the room. frantic bartender, chatty waitresses moving to and fro, the grating sound of chairs scraping the ground as tables are turned and repositioned, loud, drunken laughter. nothing out of the ordinary.
and then your eyes land on him. he sat a few stools down from you, nursing a glass of brown liquor, he already had a few beers from the looks of it.
the first thing you noticed about teddy was his impeccable posture. it was like he sat with a purpose. sure of himself, solid. dressed down in a long sleeved, navy blue shirt and grey slacks that complimented the color of his eyes perfectly.
your gaze drifts down his thick, muscular arms and stagger at the watch that adorned his wrist
you didn’t know much about men’s jewelry but you recognized that one, seen it on plenty of the male clients you’d represented. it was expensive as hell.
now, you see it. the glint of the gold wedding band he has on his finger. not too flashy, definitely not new
which begged the question: what was a guy like that, married and loaded, doing in a place like this? escapism? you wondered.
but that was your problem, always wondering, always curious about people. wanting to know more. and it eventually got you in a world of trouble.
teddy watched you too.
he was just better at it, much more careful than you. the way he trained himself to be.
each time you lifted the glass to your mouth he stole a glance. unwavering and focused. tracing the curve of your wine red lipstick coated lips as they settled around the rim, the restless tap of your manicured fingers atop the bar, your curls slicked neatly into a puff at the base of your neck.
his curiosity sharpened when he overheard the tail-end of the heated phone call with an associate at your firm that you’d ended with a string of curse words he never knew sounded so good when used together.
he assumed it was a boyfriend, or someone you were dating, he didn’t know. or care
he just enjoyed watching you.
your eyes exposed every emotion that your face tried to hide.
and that was when he decided he’d watch you a little longer.
from then on stolen glances became intentional and precise. timed, almost. gentle smiles became lingering stares. batting eyelashes and hidden blushes. he had you right where he wanted—no, needed you.
now, he went in for the kill.
“you done letting people ruin your night?” he turned to ask, the corner of his lips curving into a knowing smirk, beautiful blue-green eyes glued to yours.
and then it was history.
he was funny, charming. super witty. said all of the right things. so much so that you’d forgotten the married aspect of it all. the type of guy you could talk to for hours and he'd listen, interested in how the words leaving your drunken mouth have shaped you into the woman sitting in front of him,
which eventually turned into numbers being exchanged and late night conversations in his loft a block over.
you knew it was wrong, but you were so in it that by that point the lines of what was right were blurred.
one thing led to another like it always does with these things.
on a gloomy, rainy evening a couple of weeks later you were craving a listening ear. his. and he didn’t hesitate to be there for you.
his large veiny hand resting on your knee to serve as comfort after you both had one too many glasses of wine quickly became your mouths intertwining, and before you knew it your legs were being pinned into the sofa cushion behind your head, foreheads touching while he slowly slid in and out of the sticky mess you made, whispering dirty praises against your lips.
you were so disgusted with yourself after the first time that you avoided him for over a month. he called you almost every day, texted too. all ignored.
and then one day you leave work and he's sitting coolly on the hood of your car, bouquet of flowers in hand. saying everything he felt would make you feel better about the situation. the usual
"we haven’t been happy in a long time"
"we don't even have sex anymore"
"we’re getting a divorce"
then came the expensive gifts being left at your doorstep. flowers routinely delivered to your office. the spontaneous, well thought out dates. the weekend getaways. it was all so perfect.
until you remembered.
and you always remembered.
looking back you don't understand how a woman with the education you have believed any of the lies he told you. maybe because you wanted to
maybe because you really liked (love) him and needed something, anything to make you feel better about the fucked up shit you were doing with this woman's husband.
but none of it matters now, because you ended everything a week ago.
it’s nearing nightfall and you’ve just finished one of your many daily avoidant activities: grocery shopping.
incorporating little domestic things like this into your routine has been helping ease you back to the normal that you’ve missed so much.
the cold, emptiness of your apartment greets you as soon as you slip out of your new balances. you set the bags onto the counter top, digging in your back pocket for your phone and thumb through the notifications you’ve been ignoring all day.
hundreds of missed calls stacked on top of each other, sappy text messages from different numbers, friend requests from fake pages, and work emails buried beneath the chaos. a heavy sigh leaves your lips at the sight.
and then, your phone starts ringing again in your hand. you don’t do anything with it. no answer, no decline, just stare down at the screens glow. hands trembling. skin riddled with goosebumps. silently begging for him to stop, to get tired of chasing you and finally leave you alone for good. the guilt is eating you alive at this point.
he has a wife, a son. a family at home. yet he still threaded himself into your life and refused to let go, even after you’d tried to do the right thing.
now you shuffle down the dim hallway to your bedroom.
you figure you’d shower first and then get dinner started, so you pull a satin night dress and matching panties out of their respective drawers and lay them out on your bed before trudging into the bathroom
the mirror is the last place you look these days. you’re afraid to see what looks back at you, how badly stopping everything has effected you.
and to make it even worse, he still filled every crevice of your mind, even after you’ve told yourself it had to end.
his deep, sultry laugh, him touching you in ways that nobody else had ever done before, the feeling of his pillowy lips quirking into a smile as he kissed you—
you shake your head rapidly, eyes tightened shut. breathing shaky, trying to stop the thoughts before they start. trying not to go back there.
you’re sitting at the edge of your sink now. back turned to your reflection dressed in nothing but a towel, and you watch as the steam begins to wind up into the air above the shower head
finally.
the hot water runs down your spine rinsing away all of the memories that keep looping
you stand there for a while before and after bathing, basking in the warmth of the fog as it wraps around you. you never want to leave. but you do anyway
and you wish you hadn’t.
after drying yourself off and slipping into the plush robe, still avoiding the mirror, you use muscle memory to weave your curls into a low thick braid down your back. then you pause
the soft hum of what sounds like r&b music echoes into your room from the hallway.
you know you didn’t turn anything on, and yes, you and your neighbors occasionally get each others alexa’s mixed up but this isn’t one of those times.
when you step back into your room your heart drops to the pit of your stomach. the music is louder now, and your eyes widen in horror at the sight of the large box of red roses sitting at the foot of your bed.
your whole body shudders.
slowly, you approach the flowers, heart pumping so hard it may burst through your ribs.
and you feel the color drain from your face the longer your eyes linger on the card at the top.
Love U
simple, but charged. it served the purpose he wanted it to.
your fingers dig into the sleeves of your robe, steadying you, and the music keeps playing. filling the apartment like he wants you to know he’s here
you let out a shaky breath before taking a step back from the box and quickly dressing yourself.
the knot in your stomach gets tighter with each step. feet padding softly against the wooden floor of the hallway, and the further you go the louder the music gets.
by the time you get to the entrance of the kitchen your heart is pounding so hard that it hurts. you stop suddenly, blood running cold
he’s standing there.
leaning back against the counter, toned arms bare beneath the white wife-beater, crossed over his chest. his leather jacket is thrown over the chair sitting underneath the island.
he’s relaxed. too relaxed. as if he rehearsed this
so you step closer.
and his eyes set on you the moment you come into view. his jaw is tight, eyes dark, unreadable. not just anger, but something else too. hurt, maybe? it’s horrifying. like the calm before a storm.
the silence between the two of you is deafening.
you don’t know how he got in, or when, but the door hasn’t been forced open. the hinges are in tact, and there’s no signs of breakage at the lock
and then it hits you.
he used a key.
except, you’d never given him one.
the realization makes your breathing catch. skin crawling with fear as the music continues to play, all slow and intimate, patronizing.
the lamps are dimmed, casting a soft glow across the the room while the cities’ lights pour in from the windows, neon signs and passing headlights streaking across the glass
you gulp, wrapping your arms around yourself as comfort
“what are you doing here?”
his eyes drag over you, buffering at your legs and quickly snapping back up to yours “i’ve been calling you. for days, (Y/N).” he says, voice smooth and low but controlled, like he’s holding on to it “i didn’t want to talk, still don’t” you say back, barely above a whisper.
he scoffs quietly and shakes his head at you, a disbelieving smile on his face
“so you leave me with nothing but a stupid ass message saying you’re done with this—us—and i’m supposed to what?,” he unfolds his arms and places his hands flat on the counter behind him “leave you alone? like i don’t deserve a conversation?” he asks, head tilted at you, anger slowly slipping into his voice beneath the forced calm.
you laugh in shock. it’s like he can’t hear how crazy he sounds. that along with the theatrics, he’s clearly missing something.
“i don’t owe you anything, theodore.” you shoot back “you’re married.”
the room goes still as soon as it falls from your lips. a long silence stretches between the two of you, and his eyes never leave you for a second. he’s thinking, hard.
and then he reaches behind him for his phone, sliding his finger around on the screen which in turn stops the music from playing, the sudden silence somehow becomes way too loud.
“you knew that.”
the words cut like a knife, but he was right. you did know. and still, you can’t help but grimace at him
“and i ended it, right? but now you break in here— “i used a key,” he cuts you off firmly with an eyebrow raised, hand held up, correcting you as if that’s any better
“and you don’t get to play it like that, like this is all on me. like you didn’t call, or let me in.” he says, voice tight
“that doesn’t mean you force yourself into my place after blowing my phone up from all of these different numbers, making fake pages, then leave flowers on my bed while i’m showering to scare me like we’re in a fucking movie!” you snap at him, arms flailing wildly at your sides. meanwhile his expression is unwavering, ice cold
terrifyingly smug.
and then he shrugs. like none of what you just said is a big deal “i wasn’t trying to scare you.” he says calmly “i knocked. you didn’t answer, and i needed to see you.” which earns a scoff from you
“so what?! i shouldn’t be dealing with this after clearly telling you it’s over.” he exhales slowly from his nose, eyes closed as if he’s trying to rein himself in before pushing off of the counter toward you and you take a step back, head angled at him with wide eyes, nose flared, warning him to back off.
he notices your reaction to his sudden movement and stops his advance “you didn’t give me a choice.” he says pointedly “i fucking love you and you cut me out like what we have doesn’t mean anything” his voice cracks a bit. he’s more hurt than you expected him to be.
but you scoff again, shaking your head at him
“you don’t love me, you loved being able to escape from your real life. i was nothing but a break to you.” his jaw tightens at the venom in your words. nose flared, eyes darkening more than they already were, like a switch is flipped.
he closes the distance between you in three strides, and you back up just as quick but not quick enough, because now his hand is wrapped tightly around your neck, and you’re pressed up against the wall. trapped.
“don’t ever say that to me again.” he snarls “this was-is real. you feel it too,” he says through clenched teeth, forcing you to look up at him, so close you can practically feel the heat radiating off of him. you gasp for air, eyes wide, fingers grabbing at his for a chance at relief
his eyes manically search yours for any hint of mutuality. grip tightening “i know you do. look me in my eyes and tell me you don’t,” his voice drops dangerously low, almost taunting “say it.”
your throat burns with every attempt to breathe, you pull and scratch frantically at his fingers, desperate for air
and then, something in him snaps, and his grip stutters
his gaze drops to your parted mouth, then back to your terror-filled eyes and he lets out a shaky breath “fuck” he says mostly to himself, shock spreading across his face, grip loosening, and then he releases completely “shit, i didn’t mean to-” he gulps, “i just— i can’t lose you.”
you gasp heavily at the feeling of air filling your lungs, breathing choppy, chest heaving up and down. tears blurring your vision as they spill over
“t-teddy, why-..how could you..” you manage to whisper in between sobs, voice hoarse “i know,” he murmurs with softened eyes, regret laced into his tone now “i know, im so sorry, baby” he presses his forehead to yours, shaking his head
“i shouldn’t have touched you like that, im so sorry”
his hands leaves your throat and slides to your jaw instead, his thumb brushing your tear stained cheek.
he places a kiss on your forehead, and then your nose, and hovers his mouth above yours, moving in and retracting, as if he’s waiting for you to give him the green light
you gulp hard, your eyes never leaving his
“what are we doing, teddy..” you say softly
“just be here with me, one more time” he’s tracing your lips with his now, teasingly “please” he whispers, almost begging
and then, you fall right back into him.
the kiss is soft at first, full of hesitation, you barely let your lips meet his
and then it deepens. slow and careful, and you hate how easily your body ignores the fear and the panic that lingers in your chest,
your cheeks burn with shame. because despite your throat still aching and your lungs still sharp with every breath, you melt into him.
your mouths move in perfect sync as they always do, his hand slowly travels your bodice, running along every dip and curve etched into your frame before he slides his palms around the back of your thighs and digs his fingers into the soft flesh beneath the crease of your ass, pulling you closer than you already are
you run your hands along his arms and then into the sandy brown bushel of his hair that you love so much, grabbing handfuls and snaking your tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss. his low moan vibrates against your lips
he slips his hand beneath your thigh and hikes your leg up over his hip, pinning you to the wall, his mouth completely engulfing yours and the huge bulge in his pants pressed up against the growing heat between your legs.
the hem of your night dress has risen above your hips now, exposing your periwinkle underwear. "body’s so perfect" he breaks the kiss and hums against your cheek, gripping and caressing your thick thighs
"everything about you is perfect" he grumbles as he traces his lips up your jaw before going back in for more, kissing you slow and gentle. making up for lost time.
you soften under his touch. the way his fingertips gently graze every inch of your skin sends chills down your spine,
and then you remember. because you always remember.
“wait” you say breathily into the kiss, earning a desperate groan in response "we— you pull away, resting your head against the wall “we can’t” you say, chest rising and falling quickly from the heat building between the two of you, fingers still curled into his tresses.
beyond hungry for him but reluctant to take it any further. trying to keep yourself from crossing lines you know you shouldn’t anymore. you can’t.
his gaze is locked onto you, eyes dark and desirous. "we can, baby. it’s just us" he says, brushing his lips against yours with heavy breaths, “let me show you how much i missed you” he places a gentle kiss to your lips and your pulse quickens. something like electricity runs through your body
he grazes a thumb over your hardened nipple through the satin fabric with one hand and rests the other at the curve of your waist where your leg meets his, pulling your hips in circles against his pelvis, watching your face contort in pleasure at the friction, lowering his mouth to your ear “i love making you feel good, princess” he whispers and you sigh, eyes fluttering shut
trailing kisses along the side of your neck, he latches his lips onto the sweet spot that he knows all too well, dragging a whimper from your lips at the feeling of the wet, warmth of his mouth suctioning your skin.
you want him so bad it hurts. and you know you shouldn’t.
he yanks the straps of your dress down your shoulders and hungrily places sloppy wet kisses along your collar bone and down to your chest, finally making contact with your breasts which earns a sharp gasp from you
you drag your short acrylics along the nape of his neck, cradling his head and squeezing your eyes shut as he suckles on both, slowly, sensually, cupping each one into his mouth at a time, circling your nipples with his tongue.
he presses his lips gently against your abdomen, right beneath your breasts and looks up at you before gripping underneath your thighs and hoisting you up onto his waist, you instinctively lock your legs around him as he walks you toward the couch, setting you down gently at the edge.
your hands travel along his back, still winding your hips against him and he hisses, hard as a rock at this point. without hesitation he pulls the dress down your torso, slides an arm beneath your lower back lifting you up to slip it down your legs and tossing it away in one swift motion, so eager to see you.
all of you.
his eyes drift down to your center and he may as well be drooling the way he’s looking at you,
he trails a hand down your bare skin, massaging your pussy through the dampened lace panties and a shaky sigh falls from his lips at the sight of your pouty face. he hooks a thumb into your panties’ string, moving them over before slowly trailing up the slippery wetness of your slit and rubbing gentle circles against your throbbing pearl. the stickiness of your pussy echoes throughout the eerily quiet living room
he shuts his eyes tightly "so fucking wet," a low moan escapes his mouth, taking his bottom lip between his teeth
"i can’t wait to feel you”
now he’s hooking his hands beneath your knees and pulling you further along the couch before curling his fingers into the waistband of your panties and ripping—yes, ripping your underwear off of your body, earning a gasp
"teddy!" you whisper yell “i’m not wasting another second,” his hands find your chin, and he brushes his thumb over your lips “my pretty girl” he stares down at you for a while before retracting to get undressed
you watch him shyly as he pulls the wifebeater off first, the definition of his abs has you squeezing your thighs together. his body is a work of art.
then he removes his sweatpants, and the briefs beneath and his hard dick springs free, your eyes fixate on it like it’s the first time.
precum drips from his pretty, brown tip and the curve of his long thick shaft has you mesmerized.
before you can get a word out he shoves you back gently and climbs on top of you, using both hands to push your thighs forward
he's watching you as he strokes himself, sliding the head up and down your slit. his jaw falling slightly
“tell me what you want, and i’ll give it to you” he says, reaching for your waist and pulling your hips along the length of his shaft, you whimper at the feeling of him sliding himself in between your sticky folds, teasing you “i-i want it” you say and he curses under his breath “you want what baby? use your words for me”
“i want you to fuck me, stop teasing” you whine,
the words barely leave your mouth before he’s lowering himself on top of you.
he rests his forehead on yours, positioning his tip at your entrance and steadily guides himself into your warmth
you gasp into each others' mouths simultaneously as he goes deeper, stretching you out, your warm syrupy insides contorting to hug him just right "shit, girl" he breathes out huskily "mmmhmm" you moan, snaking your arms around to his back and pulling him closer, his body shuddering once he's fully inside of you
he starts slow, thrusts stuttering as your walls tighten around his length
"oh my gosh" you exasperate, tossing your head back into the couch cushion and grabbing at his muscly arms to ground yourself.
he places open mouth kisses up your jaw before sliding a hand around the nape of your neck, forcing your head down to his eyes, "don't look away from me. i need to see that pretty face" he says against your parted lips, tilting his head slightly and snaking his tongue deep into your mouth, making out slowly
he lifts himself up a bit, continuing to slowly grind and thrust his hips in circular motions into you, latching a hand onto your breast and gently squeezing as they bounce on impact, your soft moans like music to his ears.
"so fucking beautiful taking this dick" he breathes, speeding his pace a little "please don't stop" you squeak,
somehow you feel him get even harder inside of you.
he repositions himself on top and pushes your thighs back, using them as leverage, watching his dick glisten from the thick coat of your juices as he slides in and out of your pretty, creamy pussy, admiring the mess you've made all over him "look at what you did, you hear that? you get so wet for me" he grunts into a moan, going faster
he digs his fingers into your thighs and pulls you into each stroke, driving you wild, warm tears roll down your cheeks
he pushes himself further into you, and you cry out at the feeling of his tip hitting your spot
he wraps a hand around your throat before bringing your face to his
"you really thought i would give you up that easily? hmm? you know this shit is mine, and you better not ever disappear like that again, you understand me?" he growls into your ear, breathing ragged and heavy against your skin, "y-yes, mmmm" you whine, trying to catch your breath
"yes what?" he asks sternly, thick fingers pressing gently into the flesh beneath your jaw
"yes daddy!" you cry out
"good girl" he praises, smirking down at you, bringing you even closer, he groans against your parted lips before attacking them, tightening the grip he has on your neck and tangling your braid into his fingers to anchor himself
he whispers sweet nothings against your lips, grinding slower, harder, intertwining your fingers with his above your head.
"mmmm fuckk" you whine, eyes fluttering closed heat coiling low in your gut from the penetration, he smirks, "hold it baby, i know you can" he breathes out, as if he can sense a climax coming
he angles himself sideways, going even deeper, and it feels like he's trying to dig into your soul
you moan into his mouth
he’s hitting exactly where he needs to, his thrusts are so precise. like he knows your body inside and out.
and you’re sure he does.
"t-teddy" you're gasping for air. he brushes his lips onto yours before giving you the nastiest, sloppiest kiss ever
"i love you so much (Y/N), this pussy s-so fucking good" he moans into the kiss, his breathing shaky, you grab at the plush cushion beneath you, mouth agape, the pressure in your lower stomach roiling and churning like an angry river into a dam that's getting ready to break, walls tightening around him
“you ready to cum for me? hmm? " he purrs
and then the dam fucking explodes
you cry out loudly, not caring who hears you, releasing all over him. the warm liquid spilling everywhere.
"shitttt,” he hisses, “just like that, cum all over this dick" he keeps thrusting, mouth agape as he watches your pretty pussy drip like a broken faucet, squelching with each stroke "such a good girl. it’s all yours, baby" he says huskily,
his length begins to throb inside of you and his strokes get sloppier and less controlled, his breathing picking up and eyebrows pulled together
you place a hand on his lower abdomen attempting to push him out before he cums, but he immediately grabs it and pins it down to your thigh, tightening the grip he has on you, a sinister smile creeping onto his face.
"mm mm,” he grunts, shaking his head “this is forever, and i'm making sure of that." your eyes widen at the realization that he's not going to pull out. he's not going to stop, not like he usually does..
and then you feel him twitch inside of you, he parts his lips, jaw falling slack, eyes rolled to the back of his head "t-teddy don't-you almost beg, using your free hand to push harder at his stomach but he's already there "oh my f-fucking—nngghhh" a deep, guttural moan escapes from his throat as his body jerks on top of you
he groans, pushing himself as deep as he can go into your warmth, fingers digging into your thighs to hold you in place as he fills you up with the thick, creamy nut that you milked out of him, and you gasp at the feeling of his warm seed infiltrating your walls, shock and horror decorating your face beneath the pleasure
he stays inside for a while, aftershocks still coursing through him. and then finally, slowly, he removes himself before laying flat on top of you, head resting in the crook of your neck, placing gentle kisses at your shoulder blade.
you both lay there. breathless, speechless
until
"i just have to make sure you don’t leave me again. i can’t live without you" he lifts his head up to look down at you, still panting, tracing a thumb along your cheek
"...you shouldn’t have done that.” you whisper, anger simmering “it’s too reckless. all of this is. you have a family-" "shhh, it's okay baby. i'll take care of you,” he trails a hand to your stomach, rubbing gentle circles over your skin, “our family." he brings his lips to your forehead.
then lowers himself to your ear
"but if i find out you've done anything to stop it, and i promise i will," his tone is low and dangerous now. like a warning
"you won't like what happens next." he places a kiss at your temple, holds your eyes for a few seconds as if to burn the promise into your mind before climbing off of you and scavenging for his clothes that have been scattered around the room.
your breathing hitches
did he plan this? is that why he came to ‘talk’ ? to trap you?
and you were stupid enough to fall right into it.
your mind is running a million miles a minute as you quietly try to figure out your next move.
he steps into the briefs and turns back around to face you, scanning you up and down as you lay naked and trembling on the couch, the back of your throat burning from the tears beginning to well
“i’ll get dinner started,” he says sweetly, yet another switch flipped, fumbling with his shirt before pulling it over his head “you just relax, okay?” he’s still eyeing you. looking for a response that you can’t give him. the words refuse to leave, and all you can do is nod
he’s fully dressed now, and you’re still frozen in place. he bends to grab the night dress off of the loveseat before stepping closer to you and pulling you upright. he then helps you back into it, no words, just silence between you. the only sound filling the room being the faint sound of your sniffles and uneven breathing
a year ago you would have laughed if someone told you this was the reality you would be facing. but deep down, you knew sneaking around with someone’s husband was never going to end well.
and part of you can’t help but wonder if maybe this is what you deserve.

Summary: According to you, the two of you were broken up. According to Cam, you were not. You see where confusion may spark? AU! Manipulative! Cameron Cade x Fem! Reader. Smut. Plot. Smut.
WARNINGS: UNEDITED, P in V, Oral, Handjobs, Dirtytalk, Manipulation. Darkish! Cameron Cade.
YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOUR OWN MEDIA CONSUMPTION.
When the receptionist had called and told you someone was in the lobby for you, you’d been surprised. You expected to see a client. It wouldn’t be unheard of for someone to drop in on you, you worked in event planning after all. Imagine your surprise when you saw your ex. You stand, struck, in front of the elevator as it shuts behind you.
“Cameron?” You call your heels a slow clack and click. He turns to you, hair still low and face chiselled perfection. His lean, overpowering frame was dressed in black with his gold chains hanging off his neck. Two weeks seemed to stretch like a lifetime. “What are you doing here?”
He cocks his head to the side. “It’s your birthday.”
Was it? You forgot it. Obviously. “And? What does that have to do with you being here?”
Cam places a hand on your back, leading you to one of the sofas in the waiting area. “We always spend your birthday together.”
You stop him, shaking his hand off. “Cameron. I broke up with you. That’s no longer a rule – you shouldn’t, you shouldn't be here.”
“I’m not expecting a thing,” he says, sliding his hands into his pockets. You see now that his shirt had slight hints of dark navy strands that only stood out in the light. The shirt stretched across his broad chest. “I just want to take you to lunch. You’re acting like I’m the devil.”
***
“Oh, shit!”
“Yeah, baby – get your fucking nut.” Cam’s voice was butter over your body, hands rolling over your back as he bounced you on his dick. Lunch at Signia had wound up with you spilling wine on your dress. Cam, of course, begged you to buy a new one. And shoes. And a bag. Then a hotel room for you to change in. Somehow, one thing led to another, and now your fingers were on your clit, and he was making you come for the third time.
You arch your back, hips losing rhythm against his controlled pace, the climb of your orgasm was peaking around the corner. Cam’s crooning baritone; unfailing, arrogant as you crumble on top of him, walls clenching, then quivering open as you come.
“You're so pretty, my baby. I could make you come on this dick all day. Fuck, take me in. I’m coming inside.” Cam jerks his hips and lets out a groan that makes you quiver around him. Slowly, he drags you off – hissing, sensitive from his orgasm. Your blurred eyes glance at the clock. Two hours since you came into this room. You dumb bitch. You let him play that thick flute between his legs, and you followed on.
He kisses your skin, stroking your body. “Happy Birthday. What’re you doing tonight?”
“That’s none of your business,” you mutter, whining when he plucks at a nipple.
Cam crawls over you and begins to slowly kiss and suck at your breasts. He holds them up, taking his time appreciating each. He squeezes them, gently pushing them up to get the nipple in his mouth. Sucking and lapping at the brown circles. Tongue dragging on the hardened pebble. The sounds that echo in the room are obscene, wet, sloppy and shameless. The sensations travel down your spine as spiky calls of desire, reigniting the ever-present need you have for him. Cam’s hips weave their way between your legs, his groin rubbing along yours.
“You don’t mean that, baby.” He whispers on your skin, licking the soft flesh of your breasts. “If you did, I wouldn’t be deep in this pussy, now would I?”
You open your mouth to rebut, but the words die as he slides back into you.
Damn that arrogant light bright motherfucker. You roll your hips, taking him deeper. “Shut up and fuck me.”
Cam groans, giving your breasts a break and setting his elbows at both sides of your face, his breath warm and eyes locking in your own. You try to look away – but there’s nothing in front of you but him. His dick drives into you slowly, taking pleasure in the slow feel of being surrounded by you. Your hands grab his upper arms, keeping yourself steady against his deep rocks.
In his stare, your skin crawls. There’s a disconcerting stillness in how he looks at you. A kind of permanence for which a gaze was never meant to have. What you gather ultimately is that dangerous fullness of being utterly dragged in and drowned.
The pressure builds, and he goes harsher. “Who’s fucking you?”
You bit your tongue, closing your eyes. His hips slam into yo,u making you gasp. “Who is fucking yo’ mean ass?”
You shake your head. Biting your tongue harder and tasting blood. Cam’s lips press onto yours, tongue prying your mouth open and tasting it, swallowing your saliva and blood. When he pulls back, his mouth is crimson, and he’s grinning. His hips never falter once. You whimper, keening under his dick’s movements. “Y-You’re a sick motherfucker, Cam.”
His tongue swipes at your blood, eyes unblinking. “And I’m gon’ be your sick motherfucker ‘til we die.”
You couldn’t help the whole-body orgasm that washed over you at those words. Your eye rolls back and you curse his name, the confident laughter that falls fromhism lips making goose pimples rise on your skin. Cam pulls out of you, lying beside with a heave. Your hand goes between your legs – he hadn’t come yet? Beside you, Cam is the picture of satisfaction. You skim your hand over his chest, down to his hard dick between his legs. It's slick with your juices. Your hand tightens, and you roll your wrists up and down the length of his dick.
Cam’s hiss, breath sharp. “Fuck,” he mutters, head thrown back. You kiss the column of his neck, front teeth pulling at the skin. A bruise that will no doubt bloom soon.
You bow your head to pepper the mushroom tip with kisses as you keep moving. He murmurs, slow, indistinct. Cam being undone is a beautiful thing. You always got wet at seeing him weak.
“Pretty boy,” you mutter, opening your mouth over the head and sucking briefly.
Cam’s head twists, side to side, eyes shut. All of his words are whispers, light and gone as your hand slowly brings him to the brink of escape. Your hand is covered in a few moments, and his dick is limp. You lick your hand clean and suck the head, kissing your way from his belly to his lips.
It’s midnight when he drops you back at your apartment. Kissing you with loud smacks and a wet, seeking tongue. Kissing you like nothing has changed. “I’ll call you in the morning,” he says, handing you a large gift bag. God, you were a weakling. This was the exact sort of thing that made you break up with Cam in the start! He pushed your boundaries to get what he wanted and made you feel like it was what you wanted. The moment you were no longer around him, the feelings left. God, how stupid were you?
When you get inside, you lock the door, apply for PTO, and book a flight.
***
The sun is a pleasant burn upon the back of your body. The string set you wore is the perfect prevention method of any hint of tan lines on your rich brown skin. The all-inclusive resort was the ideal getaway from all things Cam. You turned your phone off, bought a burner and called your mother and director alone. You weren’t risking his crazy-ass showing up and pulling you back in. You plan to detox and de-dick him from you.
With a hum, you stretch your limbs over the flat bed near the beach, groaning with delight as one of the workers sets another pinecolda beside you and takes your empty cup. You take the filled cup and sip the icy relief down. The beach of the Cap Cana resort was gorgeous. Blue waters and a bright yellow sun had greeted you every morning for the past five days you’d been here. Your plan was seven days in the DR, then seven in Panama, and you hadn’t told a soul besides your Mama.
You set your cup back down and pop your earbuds in, folding your arms under your head and ready to nap. A heavy, wide-palm smack to your ass jolts you, sending you into a violent frenzy. You swing and miss the object of your ire – eyes wide as you see who it was.
“What the fuck, Cameron!” you yell, getting to your feet and poking his hard chest. “How the hell did you know where I was?”
“You used my card.”
“I used my card,” you point out, picking up your drink, phone, and cover-up. “The card that my Apple Pay is connected to. Genius.”
Cam chuckles, shaking his head as you walk past him. “My card. My card is on that, your utilities, your rent – why the fuck would you think you could pay for shit?”
“Bro, like – where do you get off fucking following me? We broke up!” You stress, a few feet off. You don’t have to turn to know that he was following you.
“You broke up. I didn’t say shit. You've got to throw your little tantrum, got to kick me out of your apartment, but we’re still together. Shit, on your birthday, you had more of my fucking nut in your body than your own blood.”
“Shut the fuck up!” You tell him, realising you’re attracting stares. A combination of the argument and Cam being Cameron Cade. Everywhere he went, he had eyes on him. And now, standing there in a five-inch trunks and nothing else – yeah, eyes were going to be on him. “Just fuck off, Cam. I need to think. This was supposed to be my space to think!”
“What?” he says, catching up to you easily. “You can’t think with me around?”
“No.”
He grins, face lighting up as he easily matches your hurried steps. Damn him and his long-ass legs. “Then why bother?”
“I’m not myself when I’m with you, Cam. I can’t think, I keep leaning on you, I’m not even sure I see myself as a person outside of you.”
“What’s so wrong about that?” He asks. “We love each other. What’s so evil about us just being together, codependent?”
“I don’t want to disappear into you. You’re Cameron Cade, you’re a complete person. When we’re together, I don’t think I am. I need to be whole.”
“Let me help you, then.”
You want to pull your hair out. You shake your head, turning to the lobby and getting into the elevator. Cam follows behind, backing you into a corner. “C’mon, baby. I can help you with this.”
“Back the fuck up.” You hiss, slapping his chest.
He pretends to be hurt, slinking to the other side of the elevator, eyes glowing as he stares down at you. You shift. You’re acutely aware that you’re not only alone, but dressed in strings that only cover the bare necessities. When the elevator door opens, you run – not walk away from him.
When evening approaches, you book a cab with the hotel, paying with cash, and go to a nightclub that one of the girls you met on the flight suggested. You had no plans before to go, but Cam being here changes that. You were trying to go against what he was used to, what he expected, to make it harder for him to track you.
You tease your curls into a fro, dress in a glittery skirt and bikini top. Your pleasers click as you enter the pack club. Reggaeton and dancehall pulse in the space, and you roll your head, listening to the music and pushing yourself to relax.
You dance for hours, screaming against the music and finding partners for each song. Your rusty Spanish works well enough to order drinks you don’t have to pay for and for harmless flirting with pretty women who expect nothing of you.
Your phone is full of new numbers, and under the haze of smoky hookah, you kiss a stranger whose face you don’t remember.
Santo Domingo is beautiful. At night, it's enchanting. You inhale the air outside the club as you get into your taxi and remember this is why you’re here, for freedom. You’re still humming the song when you press your wristband to the hotel room and enter, flicking on the light as you drunkenly dismount from your heels.
You fall asleep, covered in glitter and smiling. Fuck Cam, you think, you weren’t going back to him. Even then, it feels like a lie.
***
Cameron doesn’t show up for the rest of your time in the DR.
In Panama, at the beach house you’d rented last minute with cash, thank you very much, you breathe a sigh of sweet relief. Panama was a big enough country that he would have to look for weeks to find you. You picked a secluded beach house, far from your usual vacation types. It wasn’t a five-star resort or hotel; it was in a village two hours from the airport you’d rented from a friendly lady in Panama City. There was even a yoga room, open concept, facing the beach. You’d be fine here. You’d even rented a car – again, cash.
On your second morning, your cell phone rings. Only two people have the number, so you answer without blinking.
Your director starts by saying your name, “I hadn’t realised you were pregnant. You know you don’t have to quit; we always support work-from-home and maternity options.”
You almost crash your rental when you curse. ‘You, ’ or rather, someone with access to your email, had sent in your two-month notice. You assure her that you had no interest in leaving your job, that it was no doubt the work of a mischievous hacker. When she’s calm, you park at the side of the road and rummage through your page, taking from it your usual cell phone and turning it on. There’s a flood of emails and text messages that find you.
You’re landlord was trying to ask you about the legal letter you’d sent, requesting to end your lease immediately. There were text messages from movers to empty your apartment the day you’d be back. It takes an hour of international calling to try to undo the chaos letted out onto you, and even then, your landlord was claiming he needed to see you in person to discuss and a few days was too long a wait.
One text message stands out, simple and to the point. Send me your location.
Crazyass stringbean motherfucker. You do it, and recieve a text seconds after. See you in five hours.
You nibble at the edge of your gel nails, your teeth dull against the hard material. The audacity of this motherfucker. In the pit of your belly, excitement swirled. You curse at your own body’s betrayal.
The smell of onions burning in your skillet is stretched across the open concept bottom floor of the beach house when you heart the door unlock. Because, of course, he’d asked for the code the moment his plane landed. Your hand trembles as you toss cilantro in. You turn the stove low, and turn. Cam drops his duffel onto the floor and toes his shoes off. He takes his cap off, you see his hair is freshly cut. Your jaw twitches. Who the fuck did he cut his hair for?
You unclench and try to recalculate – that was an irrational thought. You pushed it down. “You ignorant bastard.”
He grins. “I got your attention though?”
“I should beat your ass.”
“I’m so fucking hard right now.”
“Motherfucker, listen to me.” You could throw a knife at him, but you don’t. That’s growth. “You don’t get to upend my life just because we broke up.”
“We, we, we. You speak pig-latin? Girl, you broke up. I didn’t.” He strides over to the kitchen. “What’re you cooking? Steak?”
“This is what I’m talking about Cameron, you twist me and make me so fucking infuriated that I lose control and I act out of character.”
“And what’s wrong with that? What’s so great about this character you play?”
“I’m me. I need to be incharge of my emotions. You might be at the height of your career already but I’m not there yet. I have to be in control to make myself great.” It feels good and relieving to finally admit this. The salt air blowing into the house as you confess to him.
“Maybe,” he starts, soft. “If you let me in a little, it wouldn’t be like this. I’m at your doorstep, begging. You think I wanna be the jackass that has to hunt his lady down? I don’t. But I’m not letting you go because you have imaginary codependency on me that you think hurts you. I fucking love you. I love you. You can chase me and I’ll come running like a battered dog, but I am not going anywhere.”
You turn your face, holding yourself like you might fall apart. Cam captures your chin and turns you to face him. He kisses, gently your salty tears and mouths along your face until he reaches your lips and kisses you until you kiss him back. His tongue swipes the seam of your lips and slides over your own. Repeating it until you become active against him.
This kiss is slow. It’s a welcome home.
His hands skim the lines of your body, bikini covered and all-but bare. Time and distance makes you shiver beneath his tender touch. You shake and whimper into his kiss. Cam lifts you up onto the counter, sighing into your mouth as you hold each other. Your hands reach below his hoodie, pulling it off his body. There’s want clear in his face. You bit your lower lip, reaching inside the waistband of his underwear and retrieving his turgid member.
Its all veiny and angry and leaking. You spit in your palm and coat him, slowly bringing him to full life. Cam murmurs above you, hips twitching. A telltale coil of fire rolls in your belly and you scoot to the edge of the counter, opening your legs wider.
Cam pulls your hand off and puts it on his shoulder. His own hand, he uses to undo your bikini bottom, then to caress your pussy. Fingers dipping to ensure its wetness, scissoring it to give it stretch. He removes his hand and sucks his fingers, staring down at you.
“Cam,” you mutter, arching your back as he slowly enters you, a length of tense desire as he settles fully. The two of you appreciate it for a moment. You, his thick, burning girth. And him, the drenched gummy warmth clenching around him.
There’s tenderness in the steady thrusts, his lips on yours incessantly between sweet words. You claw along his back, rocking to him. Cam goes deep into you, egged on by your loud cries. “Oh, yes – yes, Cam.”
“You’re doing so good for me. You’re doing good, just like that, baby. Yeah, look at you – swollen with me.”
“Ah,” you mewl. “Cam, Cam.”
“So pretty, keep crying for me. Who takes my dick this good?” He compliments, the sweet drag of his hips making you tremble. Your nails find root in his back, neck growing lax as he takes you further. Delirium takes you over, it’s creepy, otherworldly delight clouding your vision as wanton need reigns. “You’re so beautiful. You know that? You’re so beautiful for me, when you come. I want you to come for me. Spread your legs nice and wide and let me fuck you until you see stars.”
“You’re fucking me so good, Cam. You’re so good,” you groan out, kissing his face in messy, wet slops.
“I’m tearing you apart, aren’t I?” he groans, smug as your leg begins to shake. “All that mean ass attitude gone when you about to come on this dick.”
You cry, humping back as you chase your new height. Your toes curl and you swear, in dotted visions, you see a higher being. Yet, the only external power your lips can summon is to call his name, CamCamCamFuckFuckFuck.
He pulls out and you yelp as he turns you onto your belly and slams into you from behind. The cold countertop can’t cool your skin as his hips create a heat unnatural, cocking one leg up as he saws him, your explosive wetness and his smacking hips creating lewd, pornographic sounds. Cam groans in the building pressure of the need to get his own orgasm, hips hitting against you hard as he fills you up. His hand travels the smooth skin of your back, until it settles upon your head, he twists your curls into his fist and grips.
A shocked gasp falls from your lips when he raises your head and uses it as momentum to continue his relentless thrusts. “Look at this ass move, God – you don’t know what you do, girl.”
“I-I…kno-oh!” the words are a struggle to fall and they can’t muster it out, your body tingles of impending second wave. Your hand goes between your legs to your clit, rubbing it in clumsy need as Cam chases his peak.
He notices your movements and tries to speed up, his tattoo flattering and movements jerky. “You better get your nut fast, or I’m going to make it stretch.”
The threat makes you gush, embarrassingly so. He laughs above you, but that laugh trickles into a chorus of hoarse cursing as his warm seed fills you. Cam’s slow, dying movements end in a deep-bellied groan. He smacks your thigh when he pulls out, and the trickle of his seed makes your skin rise in dirty pleasure. Silence settles over the two of you ,and you smile as he kisses your back.
“Since when do you squirt? We gotta get you to do that again.”
masterlist, with other cam cade fics
This is my last Cameron Cade fic, thanks much for the reads and comments! Glad to add my lil 1% to the short list haha.
Angel Captured
Ex-Boyfriend!Tyriq Withers x Victoria’s Secret!Angel!Azana Monroe
Summary: She was beauty, spice, and everything he couldn’t have. Camera lights and runways were the world she lived in. Tyriq had her before it all, until she was just too much to handle. But this time around, he’s ready to take all of her. Warnings: Mild language, description of an erection, Dom/sub kindaa, bribing, sexual tension, handsy touching. Words:3.2k __
Lights…camera…action.
It was showtime, no time to play. Stylists rushing between racks of lingerie, makeup artists perfecting last-minute touches, and the faint hum of blow dryers blending with laughter and nervous chatter. Everything was chaotic backstage. Models standing in glitter and glam. But there she was in all of her perfection, calm and collected as always. Not one bit of anxiety ran through her body. She was flawless; everybody wanted to be her.
The backstage lights beamed down on her dark skin, a luminous bronze canvas that seemed to glow from within. A makeup artist leaned in close, dusting a touch of shimmer across her collarbones and shoulders. The dark essence that was cast upon her was brought to life, shining light like the pits of gold.
She posed in front of a mirror while the artist worked on her. A mirror rimmed with glowing bulbs, her reflection serene yet electric with anticipation. The famous pink silk robe laid on her body elegantly. Her elbows were on the side armrest as her hands rapidly typed on her phone.
If anyone walked by, they’d see her still and peaceful, collecting herself for tonight. But internally, she was screaming in pure envy. Tonight was all about her; she was the star of the show. It has been that way for the past three years. But just outside those curtains, he was there. Capturing everyone’s attention, that’s what he wanted.
-Sissy *Attachment: 1 photo* Don’t freak out, but he's here
Through the screen, there he stood, in all of his toxic masculinity. He strutted to his seat like he owned everything that he walked over. The sharp lines of his tailored designer suit framed his body tightly over his muscles. His tan skin contrasted perfectly against the crisp white shirt beneath, the open collar revealing just enough to hint at confidence.
- Azana Wtf…get him out!!
She was livid, to the point that she wanted to back out of the runaway. And end up on TMZ news after losing her shit on him in front of millions in the middle of NYC. One thing about her is that she never liked to share the moment. Tonight was her night, definitely not his. She knew he wasn’t there for anyone else; it was her. Articles were about to go wild, seeing him here.
When Azana and Tyriq were together, they were just at the peak of their fame. No one got to see them together; it wasn’t like paparazzi watching closely, or fans gushing over the two in comments. But nothing ever stays hidden when you get famous. Eventually, when they found the podium and found fame, fans found old photos of them together.
So everything that was about to go down tonight was going to be everywhere.
-Sissy *Attachment: 1 photo* We’re your biggest fans tonight…Tyriq says Hey.
There he was again, but not from afar. Close, to close, sitting right beside her sister. A cocky smile was plastered on his face. Azana knew everything he was doing. First, it was the camera capturing walk, now it was the sitting with the closet person Azana was close to. He wanted to find a reason to talk about her, and this was the way.
Before Azana had anytime time to react or respond to the message, directors were ushering her to the dressing rooms. There was no hesitation in her step as she followed, and she was back to business, leaving everything behind for now.
They led her through a narrow hallway lined with racks of glittering garments. Each outfit hung like a piece of art, meticulously labeled with the models’ names. The lighting flickered between soft gold and bright white, reflecting off the fabrics and giving the illusion of walking through a corridor of stars.
A stylist immediately approached with her runway ensemble — a masterpiece of delicate lace, silk, and jeweled accents. The director gave a quick nod to the team. “She’s next in lineup,” they confirmed before stepping aside.
As she stood before the mirror, the director offered her an encouraging smile, a subtle acknowledgment that she was about to be the star of the show. Azana knew everything about herself; she knew that she had it down, no encouragement was required, but it was nice that they thought of her.
“We go live in ten,” came a call from the hallway. She nodded, taking a quiet breath as her robe was slipped off her shoulders and replaced with the intricate lingerie set she would wear on stage. Stylists worked in a practiced rhythm — tightening a clasp here, adjusting a strap there — their hands sure and respectful.
When everything was in place, the mirror before her reflected a vision that was both ethereal and divine. The black lace and silver shimmer contrasted beautifully against her glowing skin, the ensemble transforming her into a living work of art. She took a slow breath, rolling her shoulders back as the wings were fastened into place.
The metallic fabric caught the light, creating an otherworldly halo around her. For a moment, she simply stared at her reflection, her lips curling into a quiet, confident smile. Azana knew what waited for her behind the curtain. But in this industry, there was no time to fall back. “Thank you, God,” she praised softly with a deep breath.
Then, at the director’s nod, she turned toward the hallway, the sound of the runway music pulsing faintly in the distance. Her heels clicked softly against the floor as she walked — steady, graceful, ready to become the moment the world would remember.
Azana stood in front of the large curtain, waiting for her cue to go. Her head was high, the soft swish of her silver wings following behind her like a whisper of thunder.
Showtime,
With a quick pull of the curtain by the directors, she was live, in front of the whole world. The music slowed down at her arrival, the lights were dimmed, seen only as her silhouette and large wings dwarfed her. Her strut is powerful with high potential. Hips swaying to the music, with arms attached. The once distracted audience, now appalled by her look.
Azana, coming out of the once dark runway, now stepped into the light. Her skin glowed under the white-hot lights, the black lace of her outfit glittering subtly with each stride. She moved with absolute control — chin lifted, hips swaying with perfect rhythm, eyes forward. Yet, beneath that radiant composure, she could feel his gaze on her like heat.
Cameras below followed her every step, which was where her attention sought out. Extending her arm out, she seductively waved at the camera, sending a quick wink. Azana's only intention was to feed the fans, and not the man who was too weak for her world. She didn’t look for him, not yet, but she knew where he sat. Front row, center, right beside her sister.
The tall heels she wore on her feet led her to the end of the runway. Facing the entire crowd front and center, she paused — a slow, confident turn that sent the metallic wings fanning behind her in a brilliant shimmer. Looking directly at the camera, she arched her back forward, letting her butt give a cheeky look at the crowd, bringing her fingers up to her lips, and she sent a quiet shh.
Her eyes lingered just a little over the camera. Finding a desirable familiar man, his hair low and freshly buzzed, jaw clean and sharp. Eyes pierced and sharp at her, Hungrily. Tyriq knew public etiquette, but with her, he clearly lost it. His position was no longer appropriate and polite, but improper and uncontrollable. His long trousers were stretched out on the velvet carpet.
Tyriq was seeking comfort, trying to adjust himself. But nothing was working; his pants only grew tighter as she stood on that runway. His stare was intense, possessive, almost pleading. The kind of look that said he wanted her back — not because she was near, but because she was untouchable.
She, on the other hand, didn’t flinch. Her expression remained flawless, composed, a faint, knowing smile curving her lips as she turned away. Azana knew how much power she had in her hands. Tyriq was proof of how much she had impacted him, just by her entrance.
Azana walked back behind the curtain, disappearing from his life once again. This time, he wasn’t going to let her go too far. Twenty-two-year-old Tyriq would’ve let her, too scared and foolish to let her be this arrogant. Present Tyriq didn’t want her; he needed her, and there was no other choice.
As the show concluded, she walked out one more time, bright as always. Dancing around the other angels, like the true diva she was. Her sister fan-girled over Azana, fingers repetitively hitting the photo button, zooming in on her. “She looks so beautiful,” she leaned over, gesturing to Azana.
Tyriq hummed, nodding, “She’s always been beautiful.” his eyes lingered on her.
After all the Angels, including Azana, walked back to the backstage area. Tyriq and her sister got up from their seats to walk out. “I saw the way you were looking at her,” her lipsflat-linedd looking at him. “You need to control yourself,” Her eyebrows raised. “And she's over you, Tyriq, so don’t try to pull the I’m hot now, get with me bullshit.”
“Nah, it’s not like that. She knows where home is, so I ain’t got nothing to worry about.”
Tyriq ran his hand down his mouth, looking away from her sister. She smacked her teeth at his words, shaking her head, mouthing ‘Ridiculous’. The phone in her hand buzzed as a message came through.
-Azana Come backstage, and they’ll let you in. Don’t bring him with you!
“Oh, look at that, gotta go.” The words rushed out of her mouth faster than expected. Tyriq cocked his eyebrows at her as she quickly turned her heels and walked away. He knew exactly where she was headed, and that's right where he needed to be. Tyriq didn’t just come here to try and make her flustered or stir the pot; he came to claim what was his.
Tyriq took wide steps, catching up. He started walking backwards, so his face was looking at her. “Not so fast, wouldn’t want security not thinking we’re not family. I mean, I am Azana’s future husband.” his pace slowed down with hers.
“Absolutely n-”
Tyriq's words cut her off. “I could have Marlon on the line in 30 minutes if you let me talk to her.”
Cutting her eyes at him, she froze. Her sister was going to kill her. Letting out a heavy sigh, she says, “I’ll give you 10 to talk to her, but if it doesn’t go well. You’ll still owe me a phone call. And whatever happens to you, this is not my fault.”
“Ahh, that's why you used to be my favorite sister-in-law, and thanks, but I probably only need 5,” Tyriq smirked in victory as they made their way to the VS Angels backstage door. Professional security stood by the door, watching people leave and enter. Tyriq strided over like he had this whole thing covered.
“Brotha, Brotha, how are we doing today?” Tyriq rubbed his hands together, speaking to the security guard. Voice was getting oddly lower as he spoke. The dude was big enough that he could’ve bulldozed the life out of Tyriq’s, 6’4 built, if desired. The guard just took one glance at him before opening the door. Tyriq was Tyriq Withers, and Tyriq had connections to everything he could get his hands on.
Backstage was just as crowded and busy as it was earlier, but in reverse. Angels wingless and shoeless as they ran across the room. “She’s in booth 8, like I said, 10 minutes top, nothing going over.” Her sister left him to his own adventure. Tyriq was tall enough to look over everyone, so this only made it easier for him.
11…10…9…8, there she was, sitting up in her chair with her name embroidered on the back. Azana sat in her Victoria's Secret pink and white robe, taking her makeup off. Tyriq was 2 steps to the left before she could see him in the reflection of the mirror that sat in front of her. This was the closet he had been in with her in over 4 years, and everything he had rehearsed himself to say left his mind.
So Tyriq was about to be raw as ever, but that never really bothered Azara before. Walking up to her chair, he closed in on her from behind. His hands rested on top of her armrests, leaning down to meet hers. “Hey, mama,” his deep voice whispered into her ear. Azara looked up at the mirror, seeing him, she threw the makeup wipe down on the table. Turning her body to look at him with a quick snap.
“How the fuck did you get in here?” She gritted her teeth, barking at him.
Tyriq smirked at her reaction, only making this more fun for him. Azara was livid at the fact that he was standing before her like it was normal. “That's not a question you ask someone you haven’t seen in a while, now is it?” Tyriq brought his hands to her shoulder’s squeezing lightly. Azara stood up from her seat, spinning on her feet to look at him.
“Don’t fucking touch me. You came here to start something that's not worth starting.” She stuck her fingers into his face angrily, “I’m good where I’m at, so you should leave before a scene is caused, which articles are already rolling in about us and your dramatic entrance into here.” Raising her voice at him firmly.
A chuckle passed his lips, “I don’t give a fuck, baby, I came here to take you back home, right where you belong.” he swayed side to side with his feet. Hands were shoved in his nice designer pockets. Tyriq's whole stance was dominating over hers; it was obvious.
She dry laughed at his comment, “Ok, you might've quite legit lost your mind. Your dick got big or something, thinking you can say whatever.”
“Don’t be like that, you know it’s always been too big for you.”
Azana was flabbergasted by his response. Years prior, he would’ve been weird when bringing up things like that. Shutting down until the awkward feeling went away. But this Tyriq knew what he was doing, and what to say, and when to say it. For the first time in a while, Azana had nothing to clap back. She was quiet.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought. Now let's go talk somewhere more private, yeah?” His hand ran down her back, resting just right before her backside. Tyriq was no longer asking; he was telling and directing. So over the waiting around. With a loud sigh, she guided him to the secluded dressing rooms.
As they made their way, models watched them pass by, their attention focused more on Tyriq as he was the skyscraper in the room. But his attention wasn’t on them; it was on her. Even pissed, she looked beautiful to him.
Azana twisted the handle down, opening a door to the changing room that stayed in the far back of the backstage. This was secluded as it could get anywhere else, that was in case Azana got in a screaming match with him, of course. Tyriq walked further into the room, then turned around, facing her with a smile.
“Isn’t this nice? Just us, like old times,” he gushed.
“Let's get this over with, cause clearly you bribed my sister with something that she had to leave me with you”.
Tyriq puckered his lip out, fake pouting, “You make it sound like a bad thing.” He walked closer to her. “I can’t be that bad, you know…you’re the one who put us further away from everyone,” he smirked, looking down at her small body. His hands reach out, rubbing her silk-covered thigh.
Azana slapped his hand away, pushing him off. “You either get serious or I’ll leave your ass back here, and it's soundproof, so no one will hear you.”
Tyriq raised his hands in surrender at her threat. “Okay, okay, times have changed, Azana. I’m not a little ole dweeb boy. I got you, Azana. I know what I’m doing.”
Her eyebrows quirked at his response. “What are you doing?” she questioned, but challenged his word. Tyriq looked good, but Azana was not planning on admitting it. The once side part is gone, now buzzed off. Arms filled out perfectly, showing how muscular he was now. He wasn’t cute, handsome, nice; he was all the things you wouldn’t want to share with anyone else.
“Being the man you wanted.” That was the answer to every unsolved question she had for the past 4 years. “I’ve grown to know how to live in a body I’m desired to be. I couldn’t always walk around and let people walk over me.” he stepped closer. “ I had to take control of things.” Closer “And I did know there was one more thing missing.” He was so close they were living off each other's air flow. “Could you tell me what that would be, Azana?”
Her breath hitched, looking up at him, her eyes hovered over her, causing her to have to look him dead in the eye. A part of her wanted to crawl into the pits beneath a tree stub and never come out, and another wanted to seek answers and ride it out.
Tyriq waited for a response, bringing his bottom lip in, sucking in, watching over her. Azana was too much in a daze to even answer him; she didn’t see when he took his hands and slapped her backside, then gripped them with his large hands. A quick squeak moved passed her lips in surprise.
A deep chuckle was let out. “You’re the only thing I don’t have, so let's change that, hmm?”
Azana could play the hard-to-get game all day, but she would just put herself in torture rather than just Tyriq. Truth be told, she hasn’t been with another man since him, and that was 4 years ago. Times have changed, especially for Tyriq. He was hot, bold, and cocky. That's everything she wanted in a guy. It was time to open a new chapter.
Her head nodded a quiet yes, but Tyriq wasn’t gonna take that as an answer this time. “Nope, that's not what I want, baby. Tell me what you want.” He grasped her neck, tilting it back, not hard, but to get a better look at her as she spoke.
“I want this.” That's all it took.
Tyriq’s lips were on her in an instant, Azana’s lips parted, allowing Tyriq’s tongue to slip in, deepening the kiss. Everything around them faded with the backstage music, it’s just them alone together sneaking around places they shouldn’t, like old times.
Her hands danced across the back of his neck, brushing a hand across his buzzed head. His hands found her backside once again, gripping it closely, pulling her into him.
Azana could feel all of him…this was just the beginning of a new chapter for them.
