|Rico & Ring|
The sunlight streamed through the window and created shadows on their naked bodies. Three weeks had passed since they'd confessed their love, and Rico felt certain that his feet hadn't touched the ground yet.
In fact, he'd talked about Ring so much that his dad had lovingly threatened to stuff a rag in his mouth if he didn't shut it.
But Rico's desire to wallow in his happiness flourished; especially now, after they'd just finished making love during his lunch break at Blaze. Still wrapped in each other's arms, they lay naked and exhausted.
Rico had spent all night by his brother's bedside the previous night, just like he'd done every night since Quincy was shot. So he was tired and sleepy, yet he didn't want to close his eyes, in fear that Ring won't be there when he woke up.
Earlier, their lovemaking had bordered on overwhelming, Rico couldn't seem to get enough of Ring. Every time Ring touched him, his insides turned to mush, he was so pliable that the male could do anything he wanted with him.
While that excited him, it also gave him cause for concern. He feared he loved Ring too much and that something would happen to tear them apart.
Quincy was one of the strongest people Rico knew, and seeing him so lifeless and helpless triggered an anxiety Rico didn't even know he had. He couldn't help but fear that someone was going to take Ring away from him, just like they took Q away from Sebby.
Seeing how emaciated and broken Sebby has been these past three weeks scared him, he never wanted to go through that. Ever!
"God, I don't ever wanna lose you." Ring whispered, as if he'd read Rico's thoughts.
"Best believe I ain't ever going nowhere papi." Rico reassured him, rolling onto Ring's body and laying on him.
Rico's mind drifted to Dre, who had shown up at Blaze early today acting stupid. He hadn't told Ring about his encounter with Ring's uncle at the mall weeks ago, and now he wasn't sure if he should tell him about this one.
He wasn't sure how Ring would react, and Rico didn't want him putting himself in any type of danger on account of this foolishness. The cartel didn't play about theirs, and Dre was high up in rank.
But because Ring didn't fear anybody, he was probably gonna bust in there guns blazing and get himself killed.
"I can feel the wheels turning in your head baby, what's going on up there?" Ring asked, sliding his hand up and down Rico's back in a soothing manner.
"Nothing. I'm just chilling." Rico lied.
Ring's hand stilled, as he raised his head in an attempt to meet Rico's eyes. "Don't lie to me, especially if you're gon do a piss poor job of it. Come on, what's up?"
When Rico didn't respond immediately, Ring smacked his ass. "I'm greying up here, any day now." He urged.
Not seeing a way out of it without blatantly lying, Rico decided to tell the truth. He'd never liked keeping shit from Ring anyway. "Dre been pulling up on me for a minute. I ain't tell you because I can handle myself."
Absolute silence fell in the room for a gruesome minute, a drop of water could've fell on the floor and it would've sounded like ocean waves. Rico's nerves danced around in mockery of him as he waited for the shît storm that was inevitably sure to follow.
"Are you gon say sum?" He asked when Ring remained silent.
"How long?" Ring eventually asked.
"How long what?" Rico stalled.
"How long has this been going on? Quit playing dumb please."
"It started that day at the mall, on my pop's birthday. And he was here earlier today. I kicked his grimy ass out though, he definitely ain't coming back after that."
Another stretch of silence took place.
"I need to get to the dealership, your pops is waiting on me." Ring said, standing up abruptly.
"Where you really going Papi? Come on na, I'm sorry." Rico wasn't really sure what he was apologizing for, he just felt like he did something wrong.
Ring's eyes hardened. "This ain't got nothing to do with you Ric, since your pops practically been living at the hospital, i gotta handle business myself."
"Yes it got everything to do with me, stop lying. You wasn't thinking about allat two seconds ago." Rico reminded him with a slight catch in his voice, knowing they were dangerously close to a full on argument, which was the last thing he wanted.
As if Ring sensed that as well, he suddenly looked defeated, and his features softened automatically.
"I don't want you to leave in no fowl mood." Rico added sadly.
Ring sighed, before saying, "I ain't mad, certainly not at you. Come here."
Rico got up, went to him, looped his arms around Ring's neck and kissed him deeply. Their tongues played tag for the longest time, then Rico started to walk backwards, pulling Ring with him, until they both fell back into bed, tangled in each other.
Rico shuffled until he was on top, without breaking their kiss.
"I really gotta go though, your dad finna be mad at me." Ring said in between kisses."
"Tell him to take it up with me then, he ain't gon kill me as easily as you." Rico replied, grinning.
Rico moved around and parted Ring's legs easily. His dick was already on brick, as it often was around Ring.
Rico continued to kiss Ring passionately as he lined his dick up in the other male's entrance. Thankfully he was still loose from earlier, they both were.
He slid all the way in, until he was buried to the hilt. "Fuck!" He moaned under his breath, as he began to move slowly in and out of Ring.
Ring's hands roamed all over Rico's body. Their mouths moved against each other's, in sync with Rico's slow but precise strokes, eliciting whimpers from deep down their souls. Each thrust hit Ring's spot, making him stifle a moan.
Ring sought Rico's tongue with his, while his hands squeezed his ass.
He freed his hands a moment later and clasped one hand around Rico's neck, while the other one cradled his skull, holding his mouth to Rico's firmly, as he ravished him in a fiery kiss.
Damn! He felt like he was gonna explode from desire.
Giving up control to Rico like this had initially been difficult for Ring to do, but he would do anything for Rico. And having the other male inside him, made him feel nothing but pure bliss.
Tearing his mouth away from Rico, he muttered, "I ain't gonna last papo."
"Me neither." Rico replied, as he felt his dick throb and pulse inside Ring, and he almost lost it.
Dropping his head, he took Ring's lips again in a gentle kiss that enticed and sent shivers all over his body. He slipped a hand down between their bodies and gripped Ring's dick, he rotated his finger and massaged gently.
Ring gasped, and his hips began to rock beneath Rico's, creating an irresistible friction that drove Rico off his senses.
Rico began a steady driving rhythm that matched Ring's movements, as Rico continued to stroke the other male's dick in sync with his fierce but passionate thrust, rolling his hips in a circular motion and hitting every wall.
A moment later they both convulsed in an earth shattering climax.
"I love you papi." Rico said, trying to slow down his breathing. He was still inside Ring, and laying on his chest.
"I love you too."
"You ain't gonna let that Dre shit go, are you?" Rico inquired. He already knew the answer to his question, but a nigga gotta try right?
"Nope." Ring replied, without missing a bit.
