Song: Welcome to my darkside by Bishop Briggs

I get home a little after midnight. I forgot to call Mekhi to let him know that I would be home late. When I get in he is not up in the bedroom. I walk by down stairs and look around but he is not there. I notice the light coming from the office and I walk over and hear him talking on the phone with someone. Kind of late to be making calls. I open the door slowly but it creeks open anyway and he looks up to see me standing in the door way."She just walked in...thanks. I will talk to you later." He throws his cell phone on the desk and looks up at me. "Where the fuck have you been? Why can't you just answer the damn phone for once?"

"Sorry...I was working." I shut the door behind me. I turn back around and walk over to the desk. "You could have called Ashton or Atticus...they were with me."

"I did...Atticus it like you...too fucking busy to answer his god-damn phone and that was Ashton on the phone. So you hired a guy...what is he like...should I be jealous?"

I burst out laughing. "Jealous of Kwan...I don't think so." I mean he is nice looking and all but not the piece of ass that I want, only Mekhi makes me melt inside. He knows what I need.  I make my way over to the other side of the desk to kiss his jealous lips. He looks down and sees my face and the smile that was on his face quickly disappears again.

"What the fuck happened?" His tone changed as his hand softly caresses my cheek.

I reach up and grab his hand. "Nothing...we were training this morning and I got hit. It's no big deal."

"The fuck it's not...I told you fighting is one thing...bruising your body is one thing...but your face that is off limits." He sounds so pissed off as he steps in to kiss the dark bruise.

 "I know it won't happen again." I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck pulling him into me. He picks me up by the hips and set me on the edge of the desk. I quickly undo his pants.

"You're a naughty little girl you know that...always in heat."

"And...I was a little late...so punish me."I bite my bottom lip begging him to take me now. I wrap my legs around him and hold him close to me. I want to find ways to make him mad at me...anything to get him a little aroused enough to spank me.

He gets out of my hold and grabs me by the waist flipping me around so that my backside is rubbing against him. I feel his hand heat up my ass. He gives me a few nice licks and then spreads my legs apart. His hand finds its way down to my opening and in seconds his tongue takes over. Dear God...he knows how to use that thing. His hand tightens on my ass. "Stop moving Scar or I will hurt you."

Yeah...sure easier said than done. When he shoves his face in deeper I gasp. Of course he pulls out and slaps my ass really hard and it almost brings a tear to my eye. I scream out. He stops as I am about to release. Dammit...I hate when he does that. He makes his way between my legs and places his hand over himself and then forces into my tightness. One hand holds me down in the middle of my back hard against to desk.

Even if I wanted to pull up I'm not able to in this position. He bangs harder and harder into me and once he thinks I'm about to go he pulls out and flips me over. His lips come crashing onto mine and his tongue quickly slides between my lips and invades my mouth. He places kisses along my neck and then reaches down to grab one of my breast and sucks so hard that I am surprised that my nipple doesn't start bleeding. He enters me again and this time when he release he pulls out, finishing on my stomach. I am a little disappointed when he doesn't go back in to finish me off. He always makes sure that I go. Instead he gathers up his clothes and heads up stairs leaving me on the desk.

"What the hell was that?" I whisper out lout to myself. I get my clothes and head up to the room. He is in the shower already. I step in and start to wash his body off.

"I got it." He takes the sponge away from me and finishes cleaning off. He doesn't offer to clean me up, instead he steps out of the shower and I wash him as he dries off and goes back to the bedroom. Oh...I get it...my punishment for being late. Jerk.I get out and dry off. When I get to the bedroom I climb in bed and roll over to my side, ignoring him.

Then next morning I wake up before he does and head downstairs. I decide to cook breakfast today and when I look up Atticus is walking in with Kwan. "Good morning...Scar. We are a little early."

"It's fine...have a seat I am fixing breakfast. Can I get you two some coffee or something?"

Both say "Yes." At the same time.

While finishing up breakfast, Meagan and Sam come down with Rylan. I see the look Sam gives Kwan and he shakes his head.We all are just about to eat when Mekhi enters the room. He sees Atticus with this new guy and doesn't say a word. Instead he walks right past all of us and goes to the kitchen to fix him a cup of coffee on the way back he stops by me and leans over, kissing me. "Good morning my love, I didn't know we we're having company this morning."

"We have to work out. Mekhi this is Kwan...Kwan this is my husband Mekhi."

Kwan stands up to shake his hand. He towers over Mekhi by a foot. "Nice to meet you sir, sorry did not realize Scarlett was married until she mentioned it last night."

Mekhi ignores the comment all together and gives me a look. "Yeah...so are you the one who hit her face?" He jumps right on in, demanding for answers.

"I apologize sir...she kept on begging me to hit her...it will never happen again."

"Good...or I will have to kill you." He says so matter of factly...not even cracking a smile and I know he is being dead serious.

"I plan on protecting her with my life sir."

"Again...that is my job. Or Atticus...not your responsibility...you are to only going on jobs with her. You should be glad that I am allowing you to work out with her." He sits at table and takes a bite out of the bacon.

I stand up and throw my napkin in my plate. I debate on turning all of this into a huge argument, instead I bite my tongue. "Atticus...when you two are done eating I will be in the workout room." I look up and glare at Mekhi.

Not only does Atticus and Kwan come into workout room so does Mekhi. I huff and bite my bottom lip. I think he just might be a little jealous of Kwan. I mean he is taller, has more muscle and damn he is not bad looking but I would never cheat on Mekhi...but just for kicks I think I will ask for something fun today. "So Marcus...maybe we should do the training course today."

"Yeah...sure if that is what you want." We all head outside and the course is massive. There is lots of climbing and going through the obstacles and it takes a lot of endurance. "Let's see who has the fastest time today. Ready...set...go..." He blows the whistle and all five of us take off.

I get to the balance beam first and make my way swiftly across. I don't look back to see where they are. I head towards the tire swing. I run out and grab it, then swing to the other side missing the puddle of mud underneath. When I get to the set of tires on the ground, Mekhi runs right past me and I can hear him laughing. He also beats me up the rock wall and back down. There are ten obstacles in all and I have to force myself to go faster. There is no way in hell that he is winning.

Of course he makes to the swinging rings, were you have to use all upper arm strength to get through but I keep up with him and I am only a few sings behind him. He swings off and goes immediately to the cage crawl. I watch him as his slams down quickly on his stomach and do the army crawl I follow...lucky for me I am super skinny and I manage to get right past him.

The last part we are running neck to neck and he barely beats me...dammit.I walk around in circles, not wanting to stop my body movement. I look back at the course. Marcus comes in right behind me and Atticus and Kwan are almost at the end as well with only one more obstacle to go...both are covered in mud...seriously it's not like the course is that difficult.

 Ok maybe it is...I have been doing this for years so I am rather use to it. I will say for Kwan's first time and his size he is actually doing rather well.

 "Ouch...you let me win this time. I am surprised." Mekhi wraps his arms around me and swings me in the air.

"Put me down...and I didn't let you win."

"You mean I actually won." He has this shit eating grin on his face.

"Whatever." I walk off and get Rebel. When I come back I flip him off and head out the gate.He just grins even wider.

I hear him behind me. "I suggest you run with her...hope you can keep up with her." And I know he is talking to Kwan.

I run all the way out to the pier. When I get there I walk around and let Rebel off of his chain. He runs out towards the edge and sits down waiting for me to join him. I hear footsteps behind me and lots of huffing and puffing. "Dear God...tell me you don't do this every day?"

I burst out laughing, "Oh that...that is nothing you should see me on other days. You did good back there by the way."

"Thanks...all that military training must have done some good over the years."

"Yeah...guess so...so you ready to get back?"

He gives me a look. "Do we have to run?"

I grin and start to giggle, "Oh course...not unless you want to walk." I grab Rebel and click the chain back on his collar. "See ya." I take off running and I hear a slight groan come from him. However he jogs behind me a few feet letting me have my space.
