My body shuddered to the point that I was spent. Two amazing orgasms who could complain? My new wife had done her job impeccably. It was so good, I wanted to smoke a Gurkha Black Dragon, sip on a glass of fifty year old Dekantā bourbon and have her lay across me all day.

She raised up with her messy hair with strands sticking up while some laid flat to her head. Damn she was sexy. I brushed the sides down with my fingers and ended up tracing her lips. She surprised me when she followed suit by taking my thumb and sucking it in her mouth, man that was a major turn on. Wait a minute! I could feel myself coming back to life down below. What was she doing to me? Oh yeah, she was real good.

"I guess you like that?"

"I have a feeling I would like anything you do," I said raising up kissing on her collarbone. Her fingers glided down the back of my neck and her other hand played in my hair.

"We have to stop Sean."

"No we don't." I licked her up from the side of her neck to her earlobe where I sucked it between my lips.

"Sean, ooooooh, stop, yes stop, please. We neeeedddd ohhhhhh, toooo talk." I pulled away sadly.

"What Lizzy?"

"We need a plan to get Shae, Michael and Aries out the picture."

"I say we hire a hitman, ask for a three for one deal and move on." My hands rubbed her hips. She was resting on her arms looking down at me. I wanted to suck on that perfectly round nipple but I needed to get a little closer.

"We can't do that. We can't kill em."

"Technically we wouldn't, the hitman would," I chuckled. At this point my hand was easing away from her hip and rubbing up her stomach.

"I took an oath remember, to save lives not take them."

"Well I guess we need to think of something else then."

"Yes. I was thinking...," she quickly stopped talking when my thumb swiped across her harden bud.

"Noooo fair, Sean," she moaned out. I smiled because that face of hers was contorted from my touch and I was getting way too hard again that I had to roll her over on her back. She giggled.

"Sean we need to stop and ooooh, shit, listen we have to think ooooooo, of something befooooore we land." I couldn't say a word as my mouth was full. I worked my way to the other and slipped my fingers down below in her wet, warm center and moments later she called out my name and she trembled.

Damn, I spilled a little too. I raised up.

"I've been thinking, I'm not sure if I want to go through with this. I'm ready to start our lives together Lizzybear."

She was quiet for just a moment and I grinned. If we didn't have to go anywhere, this could be an all day deal.

"We can't tell anyone that we got married. No telling what Shae would do, Aries even."

"I hate her so much. I'm tired of the lies and manipulation. I have my lawyers looking at my contract with Michael and I just want to beat Aries down once and for all." I could still see the bruises around her neck and I was getting pissed off all over again.

"Hopefully it won't be long until they are busted."

"Do you think we can bust them by tomorrow, next week even by the end of the month, because thirty days, imma be ready to go in commando hitman mode."

"Sean!..."

"I can't take this too much longer. I want my wife next to me not some anaconda hoe like creature."

"You picked her."

"I was drunk."

"You tapped that."

"Because she wasn't you." I dropped my head in utter regret.

"Um uh sure. You lucky she didn't give you fleas."

"You're absolutely right. I won't drink again especially knowing what my wife can do. I need to be sober every time."

"You haven't seen anything yet." She laughed. "You like saying "wife" don'tcha?"

"Of course I do. I take my responsibilities seriously. It's amazing after saying, "I Do," and consummating that I find myself not only wanting you more but NO other woman exist in this world for me but you." I smiled with my teeth showing.

"You're crazy. Oh by the way pretty teeth." We both laughed.

"Only for you baby, only for you. I'm pretty in other places too," I leaned down kissing her lips.

"Yeah right lover boy. Playtime is over but I do promise many more hot days and scorching nights where I can show you what I'm working with."

"Dang boo, I can't hardly wait." She nodded her head and chuckled again.

"It's time to get up Sean."

"It's hard when my wife's beautiful body is lying below me naked." She rolled me over, got up and started putting her clothes on. I wanted to pout, I liked her naked.

"Shae is a nasty disease we need to get rid of. We have to cut her out of our lives as soon as possible or I might have to cut her. Maybe she will spill on Michael or whoever else she's in cohoots with and things can go back to normal."

"How about I just get somebody to follow her, I can just use the PI you used?"

"Nawl that takes too much time. Don't you have a rental property?"

"Several, why?"

"Move her into one. We could put up cameras and catch who she is with. We could also put a tracker on her car, you could run it through your graphic business. I'm sure there is a way, it could be set up."

I raised up. "I'm not keen on taking care of her, that's Michael's responsibility anyway. Why can't she just go away? Adding cameras and putting trackers on cars, I don't have time to do that, that's what PI's are for."

"I'll help."

I started to put on my clothes.

"Fine Agent Carter. Okay. So what do we do next?"

"Pretend like we don't know anything. Just keep playing it off."

I looked at her as if she had grown two more heads.

"If we play it off and expose them, then we could destroy em. We could actually come out of this smelling like roses."

"How's that?"

"You play the sweet-hearted ex-boyfriend. Take her out in public, treat her good and maybe she might slip up. The more you do and people see it, then when she is busted, you will look like the victim. I have a feeling Shae is not the only chic on the payroll, it could be scandalous."

"I am the victim. She's a leech, she's trying to suck me dry."

"If you go after Shae by calling her names or even dissing her, people will think you used her and now since she's pregnant you are throwing your hands up. How many players and friends have been bamboozled by gold digging women?"

"Too many."

"She likes to be catered too. Put her in the house, hire a cleaning service or even a maid that can keep tabs on her. She's too busy in self indulgence that she wouldn't even pay attention. We have to think like them Sean, it's all about perception."

"So what do we do in the meantime, I'm ready to tell the world you're mine."

"Ah you so sweet." She came up behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist and laid her head on my back. I covered her hands with my own.

"I say we tell the world Lizzy."

"Knowing Shae and Aries they would try to destroy what we are trying to build, Shae tried before."

"Yeah but we managed to find our way back to each other."

"I didn't like that. I don't want to fight or be mad with you. This time we work together. I promise as soon as this is over, you and I will be on a deserted beach, with waves crushing against the shoreline as we are entangled in each other arms doing things we might get arrested for," she said looking up at me.

"How naughty can we be?" Her hands traveled down to my crouch and inside my pants. As soon as she touched me below, I was hard as steel. She placed butterfly kisses against my spine.

"Very naughty," she whispered. I bit my tongue and closed my eyes.

There was a knock on the door. Damn it! She jumped back and stopped. I was starting to really hate interruptions. I went to open it.

"Ah hello, there was a reason I gave you a freaking alarm. People are asking where you two are and we are about to land. Damn brutha you all red in the face, you alright?"

"I'm fine J." He peeked in behind me.

"No damage that's good."

"Damage?"

"As much as you've wanted Lizzy I thought you all would be wild tearing up the place to get your hands on one another."

"We're not savages," I was trying to explain until Lizzy walked up to us.

"Actually he was trying to be a gentleman but when we get back, I can't promise that we won't become barbaric and pose harm to anyone that my come in between us," she said slipping between us and walking out the door. Jarreau looked from her back to me.

"You will have your hands full."

I smiled zipping up my pants. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

We walked back to the front of the plane where my mother, Lizzy and Ms. Johnson were sitting reading magazines. Jarreau and I took seats across from them.

"Lizzy and I decided to keep this marriage a secret just until we get rid of Aries and Shae." I narrowed my eyes at my mother, the mouth of the south.

"Lizzy has enough stress about this phone business. I wouldn't want to add more. Plus she's headed to the police department once we land," she said being sarcastic.

"You don't have to remind us," I said looking straight at her. Why did I want to pluck her upside the head? She always had something to say.

"Guys calm down," Lizzy said putting her hands out. "I didn't do anything wrong. I never touched the girl, barely spoke to her. I'm being set up. I will prove my innocence." She turned to me.

"Sean and I want to expose Shae, Michael and Aries. In order to do this, we will need your help. I'm sure the video of Aries choking me has gotten out. The news may pick up on it, so no one should go out of their way to speak on it. Secondly, we need to go on as if we never got married. I think by telling everyone, the culprits are either going to try to break us up or try to find a way to get what they want like Sean's money. We have to keep our cool and wits about us. No talking to the press," she looked at my mother. She nodded. "Let us handle that."

"I agree with Lizzy. She and I can handle the press and their questions."

"Bad news guys," Sam said walking in.

"What is it?"

"Since Aries has been taken into custody, my contact says he is ready to tell the police that you pushed Rue down the stairs. He claims he has a witness, his mother that saw you with Rue just before her body was found. As far as the video he is saying he confronted you about Rue and the two of you argued. You hit him first and he was defending himself against your attacked."

"That's a lie! The only conversation we had was him lying to me and threatening me with videos. Aries's mother, myself and Rue were all in the main suite the whole time. Rue and I were never alone. As far as the video, you have seen it, he attacked me first."

"Aries is probably scared and in order to get his revenge for the break-up he will use this as a get out of jail card. So I need to know anything that you left out even if it's minutiae."

She rubbed her hand down her face. "At one point I could feel Rue's eyes basically staring at me as I waited for Aries to meet me. The place was full. I did notice she was drinking a lot. She eventually got up from the bar and walked out to a side door. I figured she was leaving. Around that time the commotion started between Aries and I. She wasn't around lurking as I thought she would."

"You said she was at the bar?"

"Yeah, she pretty much sat there the whole time."

"How many bartenders were there?"

"Two or three. Two girls and one guy."

"You wouldn't by chance know their names?"

"Sorry I don't."

Sam started texting as he ended the conversation. The pilot came on and told us we needed to put our seatbelts on.

"Does she need a lawyer?" I asked Sam.

"Taken care of. I have mine on standby and he's already in Atlanta."

I could see panic in her eyes. She quickly wiped her tears away trying to be tough. I didn't say another word. I wanted to jump out this seatbelt and bring her to me. Even being across from each other, it felt too far away.

The plane finally landed. I jumped out my seat and bent down next to her.

"I really don't want you going without me."

"Sean there is nothing you can do except worry on your end. I trust Sam and I'm sure his lawyer is good just in case I need one."

"If you don't trust his, I know several. Money isn't a deterrent, however much you need, we got it. Don't even think about it."

"Hopefully it won't come to that." She rubbed the side of my face and I kissed her palm.

"Time to go Sean," Jarreau said touching me on the shoulder. I stood up and Lizzy unbuckled herself from the seat. We walked out to the door of the plane where I stopped before getting off.

"I will see you when I get back," she said holding my hand.

"Let me know when you land, I will be right here waiting through those glass doors."

"I will. I love you Sean."

"I love you too." We hugged and she gave me a kiss.

"Sam I want her back just like this soon," I said clearing my throat. I put my hands on each side of her face and our noses touch.

"I will," Sam replied.

"If you need me call me Lizzy. I will get on the first plane out of here to be with you," I whispered.

"I know. I will be fine." She was trying to keep the waterworks to a minimum. I knew she was innocent so technical I had nothing to fear, so I hoped.

"We got to go Sean," Jarreau called out from behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. I flinched but she never took her eyes off of mine. We were holding hands as if we were still in front of the minister.

"He's right you're going to be late. The coach will have you running laps at the next practice, your fans are going to be pissed and they are going to take away your pretty boy card." She was trying to make a joke but I didn't laugh but instead pulled her in my arms.

A part of me felt that if I let her go, she might not come back. It could have been my imagination but the way she held on to me, deep down she didn't want to go.

"Sam will take good care of me until I'm back in your arms, isn't that right Sam?"

"That's correct," he said walking up towards us.

I cleared my throat. "The minute she walks out that police station call me. I want to know she's safe and when this plane will land back here. I don't care what time it is."

He nodded.

"Where's my mother?"

We both looked around.

"I'm coming."

"My driver can take her back to your house." Sam said making a call.

"Thanks Sam." My mother's face lit up. She always did like luxury especially at someone else's expense.

I hugged and kissed my beautiful wife one last time and walked off the plane. I watched as the door closed up and she peeped out the window. She blew me a kiss as the plane proceeded to move.

"We have to be at the stadium in less than two hours and you need to get your bag from home."

"Just give me a second," I asked as the plane was in the distance to take off. I could hear the engine raring up and watched as it lifted from the ground into the air. The moment the plane disappeared in the sky, I got in Jarreau's car. He got in as I stared through the windshield.

"I'm sure when she gets back, you all can pickup where you left off." He snickered.

"The funny part was that I didn't think I could love her anymore than I do, but being with her I love her more."

"I've always believed you two deserved one another. Technically I've been saying it since I met you. Y'all were just to damn hardheaded to see it. It shouldn't have taken a tragedy to make you all realize that you belonged together."

"True and I have her back no matter what. She didn't do it and I believe her. If they aren't back by tomorrow morning, I'm headed to Atlanta. Our first game is not until Sunday and tomorrow is our last off day until the preseason."

"Hopefully it won't come to that," J said speeding off.
