Chapter 37 - My Lady

A/N Warning: This chapter contains themes of intimacy.

Marshall's POV:

— Friday, October 14th

I woke up to the sound of Sadé's alarm going off at 9 in the morning. She was seemingly still fast asleep as her head laid on my chest, breathing lightly, indicating that she wasn't waking up anytime soon. So I grabbed her phone, turned her alarm off, and gently shook her shoulder to try to wake her up.

"Sae, you gotta get up to get ready for the day." I whispered.

She didn't respond. Instead, she just pulled the blanket over her head.

"Sae. Wake up." I tried again a little bit louder to no avail.

"I don't want to. I'm tired from yesterday." She mumbled from under the covers.

I pulled the covers off from over her head, and pecked her softly.

"Wake up, please."

She opened her eyes finally, looking up at me through her lashes.

"Fine. Only because you kissed me and asked nicely, though." She quietly replied.

She stretched her body like a cat before sitting up, and climbing out of bed. She went into the bathroom, doing her morning routine and showering.

While she was in the bathroom doing that, I ordered us both room service for breakfast. While I was waiting for it to arrive and for Sae to finish up what she was doing, I was laid in bed still, thinking about life. I was just so relieved I got my girl back because I was not ready to let her go. I can't wait to make her mines and make everything official, man. I mean, she was already my girl, but she wasn't my girl, you know what I'm sayin'? I knew she would say yes, but I still wanted to treat her to something nice when I asked. Something that would be memorable. I was thinking of ways to plan a date later, when I was brought out of my thoughts by a pillow smacking my head at full force, and Sadé snickering.

"Ouch! What the fuck was that for?" I exclaimed, rubbing my head.

"Because I've been calling out your name for the past like 15-20 seconds and you didn't answer me! You looked dazed or something. You alright?" She asked me with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Well I was before you almost knocked my head off!" I playfully mean mugged her.

"My bad. I was just trying to let you know the foods here." She put her hands up defensively, her robe that she was wearing from her fresh shower, rising slightly.

She turned around to walk out the bedroom; I watched, looking at her ass as she walked away. I got out of bed, quickly following after her. We sat at the table eating breakfast, discussing how the day would go, and updating each other on life.

Apparently, she had decided to start up her fashion business, and got signed with Rihanna's brands to do some model work. I was happy for her. Glad that she was getting her props that she deserved & worked hard for. I had told her how the label dropped Boogie's single Rainy Days, and we're about to release his album that I produced when we got back. I showed her the music video and she was feelin' it, which boosted my ego, making me feel great. She told me how she couldn't wait for my album to drop eventually, and shared some of her favorite songs of mine. I like how she supported me as well, it was a good feeling.

Shortly after breakfast, I got ready for the day, settling on some black jeans and a black shirt, with my choice of jewelry of a Cuban link chain, my gold watch, gold Cuban link bracelet, and gold ring. Just something casual.

— Later That Day

It was around 2:30-ish. Sadé was in the main area getting ready for her last red carpet of the week with Jordyn and some other girls that were fixing up her hair and makeup and shit, blasting music and gossiping. Ya' know, girl shit. So I went out on the patio that connected to her hotel, and called Hailie. I updated her on what was going on and thanked her for helping me out when she really didn't even have to. I wasn't even sure how she knew something was up, but she did and I thank god for having some of best daughters. We talked a little bit longer, and I told her how I planned on making things official tonight.

"Finally! I've been waiting for you two to get together ever since you told me about you guys." She said excitedly.

"That's shocking considering the situation." I commented

"Yea, but it's the best of both worlds. My close friend and my dad. I don't have an issue with it, dad. I support your guys' relationship." She reassured.

"That's good to hear, sweetie. Thank you." I smiled to myself, happy that she fully accepted the both of us.

"I do have one question though: Since your birthday is coming up, when do you plan on introducing her to Alaina and Stevie? And Nathan and Ashley? They'll all be at the birthday dinner." She hesitated.

Oh fuck. That totally never crossed my mind. She's going to have to meet the rest of my kids, and my brother and his wife... Wouldn't it be too early for that? Would she even be comfortable with that? I didn't necessarily mind her meeting them because she's respectful, nice, and trustworthy. Plus she's already met Hailie obviously. But would my kids have an issue meeting her or just with her dating me in general? I know she's a lot younger than me, and honestly I've never brung home a black girl before... they weren't judgmental kids, but would they hate her for her age or because she wasn't my typical "type"? This was definitely something I'd need to talk to her about real soon, and explain to my kids. They knew I was seeing someone, but not who exactly.

"Uhh... I don't know, honey. I'll need to talk it over with Sade first. Maybe I could set up a dinner before my birthday so that it wouldn't be awkward or something."

"Okay. Well I have to go now, it's still before 10 here. I'll see you when you get back. I love you, dad!"

"I love you, too, Hai Hai." I replied, ending the phone call.

I got off the phone and leaned myself against the balcony ledge, thinking. Damn, I really forgot that Sadé and my family would have to meet eventually. It's not that I didn't want them to meet or to show her off, but I was just nervous about the whole thing. I guess when we got back to the D tomorrow, I'd have to sit Sadé down, explain the situation to her, and figure out where we go from there.

— 3:57 PM, Milan

I was in the bedroom with Sae, who had just finished putting her outfit on after everybody had left. And HOT DAMN! I licked my lips, thinking of all the ways I wished to pleasure her. She looked sexy as hell.

Sadé's POV:

I had just finished getting ready, changing into my outfit in the bedroom with Marshall, who might I say, was watching me intently. I wore a ruby red dress that was made out of suede material, long red satin finger gloves that doubled as sleeves, matching red suede heels, and had a matching red suede jacket to put over. My hair was pulled into a curled ponytail, my makeup was very sultry with a dramaticized cat eye look, and red lips. I wore my, now signature, stack bracelets, a pearl ring, and ruby stone earrings. Of course, I also had a pair of red sunglasses that I had designed as a sample to test out manufacturers with me, but I'd put them on later during the night.

I was decked out in red, but it complimented my bronzed skin tone well, and was giving very much rich & expensive! Everything hugged my body just right, and I felt like that girl. I was that girl! And this is exactly why I chose to wear this outfit tonight, on the last red carpet, on the last day of fashion week. I was bound to make heads turn and get people talking. And clearly it's working because Marshall is starring me down like a piece of fresh meat. He was sat on the edge of the bed just watching me before he got up, standing behind me. He took his phone out and snapped a quick picture of me, as I looked at him through the mirror.

"Hi, love." I pipped up.

"Hey, pretty girl. You look stunning tonight." He said deeply, walking closer to me.

He was now standing directly behind me, my back pressed against his front. He placed one of his hands on my waist as the other ran up and down my side, caressing the outline of the curves of my small frame.

"Thank you." I simply said, smiling.

"I think somethings missing though." He said making eye contact with me through the mirror as he spoke.

"Maybe it's my jacket. I haven't put it on yet."

"Nah, it's not that. The outfits fucking amazing."

"Then what?" I was confused.

He pondered for a second, before smirking.

"You don't got a necklace on. Lemme fix that." He said, a smirk still playing on his face.

Then he lifted his arms up around his neck. He undid his chain he was wearing, moving my hair to the side. He wrapped the silver cuban link chain around my neck, fastening it. Once he was finished he moved my hair back, kissing my neck once in the process. He then looked me over back on the mirror.

"There you go, pretty girl. Now it's perfect."

Instantly, I felt butterflies fluttering about in my stomach as a sheepish smile etched my face. I could feel my face heating up from the action.

"I agree. That was super charming of you." I said softly.

"You look good in my chains. I suggest you get going before you start something, baby." He said giving my neck little kisses.

I closed my eyes, remembering I had somewhere to be and that Jordyn was waiting for me in the lobby and my security outside in the hallway. I opened them back up, biting my lip.

"Okay. What are you going to do while I'm gone?" I made small talk as he backed away so I could put my phone & liquid lipstick in purse and grab jacket.

"Oh. Umm I'm just going to watch some tv, probably work on some writing." He gave me a nervous smile.

Okayyyyy? Okay. I didn't think too much of it. He was probably just flustered from things getting a little bit heated just now.

"Alright. Have the time of your life without me! I'll be back around 9 tonight." I joked.

"Alright. Have a good time at the show. Remember what we talked about." He gave me a quick hug, hinting at me not drinking if it was to cope.

I pulled away from him, making my way downstairs to the lobby with security. I met up with Jordyn. We took some pictures of me for my Instagram in the hotel and in the designated car before making our way to the event. I eventually arrived at the red carpet, going through the process. As hoped, everyone loved my outfit. The flashes of cameras going off, people shouting my name, and the attention I was getting was insane. I felt great. I sat down to watch the show in the front row for the last time this week.

Marshall's POV:

— Meanwhile At The Hotel

Sae has been gone for about three hours now, and I had just gotten all the things I needed for the date I had planned for us tonight. I had sent my security to the store for me since I obviously couldn't go out to the stores myself. I had gone to reception and asked them to clear out the rooftop so that I could reserve it for only us tonight, and also asked if there could be a chef there. They lady at the front desk was giving me such a hard time about it. I understand it was her job, but I kinda didn't care. I really needed that rooftop for tonight. So I slipped her a stack, and she set it up for me. Money talks.

I went back up to the room, making sure I had everything I needed. I took some of the bags containing the stuff and headed up to the rooftop. I moved a few tables & chairs around, set some led candles out in glasses, and set down a vase of roses. I then spoke to the chef to let him know what I wanted to have prepared for us, and something special that I needed him to prepare specially.

After an hour of being on the rooftop talking to the chef and setting things up, I went back down to the room again. It was about 8:20, meaning Sadé would be here soon, and I had less than an hour to get the room set up. I quickly went to the bathroom, and ran some scolding hot water in the tub so that by the time we both got back to the room after dinner it would be warm enough for her, but not cold. I sprinkled some rose petals and bubble bath in the bath water along with fake candle lights that floated around. I then placed some more rose petals and candles lights around the ledge of the tub and set up some more self care stuff that I read about online that was good for baths or something. Some stuff I knew she'd like.

I checked the time on my watch, noticing that it was a little bit before 9. I texted her, asking if she'd be back soon to which she responded that she was actually pulling up now. I made sure I looked good before heading out to the hallway. I waited for her by the door to our room because I didn't want her to come inside and see what I had planned for her just yet. I suddenly became extremely anxious. My palms became sweaty, and I felt my cheeks turning red. I started pacing, taking deep breaths to calm myself down. I felt much more relaxed afterwards.

Then I saw her. There she was, walking towards me with a smile on her face. She had no idea - clueless. She furrowed her eyebrows, confused on why I was waiting for her outside the door.

"Why are you right here?" She chuckled lightly.

"Because I have a date planned for us."

"What, really?" She smiled happily.

"Yes, really." I chuckled lightly, "Let's go." I replied, grabbing her hand as I dragged her back to the elevator.

Sadé's POV:

When Marshall and I got off the elevator, I was met with a beautiful sight to see. There was a lone table with two chairs for the both of us placed by the balcony. It was a little chilly out, but I had no complaints because I was still wearing my jacket and the patio heating was turned on, making it feel warm. On the table was a bouquet of roses surrounded by taper candles, and dinner. It consisted of pasta, steak, croissants, and tea.

It was like our first date that we ever went on: Dinner on a rooftop with a view of the city.

I was so stunned, I couldn't even speak. My heart felt so full.

"Marshall, you didn't have to do all of this. It's so pretty. Oh my god." I said barely above a whisper.

"But I wanted to. I always want to spoil you. You're my girl, remember." He replied.

He squeezed my hand, leading me to the table because apparently I was also too stunned to go anywhere with my own will. He pulled my seat out for me, before taking his own once I sat down. I looked around the rooftop again, noticing more things. There were also cute little fairy lights scattered about, and a perfect view of the Duomo Di Milano building. I turned back to face him, and thanked him for all he had done and his effort. He really managed to pull all of this off while I was gone. He was such a thoughtful man.

We were eating dinner, talking about any and everything as usual. There's never anything we can't discuss or a dull moment with us. After some time, we had finished up our dinner and we're just enjoying the view. Then the chef came out, collecting our plates, and Marshall whispered something in his ear. He left back out to wherever he came from, Marshall turning towards me.

"You want dessert, Sae?"

"No, thank you. I'm pretty full right now to be honest." I politely told him.

"Oh, come on. He was telling me about this new dish he was experimenting with earlier, and I thought you'd like to try it. You be baking and cooking stuff so maybe you'll enjoy it." He gave me a smirk.

"Alright, fine. I'll try it. Only if you do too though!" I agreed, amused by his antics.

"Okay, that's cool with me."

We had gone back to talking while looking at the view until the chef came back a few minutes later. He only had one plate though, and there was seemingly nothing on it from my angle. I looked at Marshall confused because I thought he was bringing dessert out for the both of us, but it was just an empty plate. Marshall quickly spoke up.

"Close your eyes. The dessert is like this baked Alaska thing." He piped up.

"Isn't it supposed to have cake covered in ice cream? There's nothing there." I pointed out.

"Just close your eyes, girl." He grumbled.

"Fine, fine. No need to be sassy, sir."

Nonetheless, I did as I was told and closed my eyes. I heard the dish be placed down in front of me, and the man walking away. A few seconds after he was for sure gone, Marshall told me to open up my eyes. I will admit, I was a bit terrified to open them. Because what the hell kind of dessert requires my eyes to be closed? And isn't the chef supposed to set baked Alaska on fire? He just walked away. Chile, so anyways. When I finally decided to open my eyes, shocked was an understatement. I gasped loudly as I read the words written in a red sauce on the marble plate. "Will you be my lady?" it read. Something he always refers to me as whenever speaking of or mentioning me.

I swear my heart was beating out of my chest. I placed a hand over my mouth as I smiled from ear to ear. This was too cute. I was not expecting this at all. And I definitely wasn't expecting us to become official anytime soon despite what he said because we weren't back in the states yet. So I thought it would be at least a week or two until it happened, but here he is: Looking at me with his ocean blue eyes, a grin on his face as he tenderly looks at me. I'd never seen him look at me like that before.

"Sae, will you officially be my lady?" He asked, placing his hand over mines on the table.

"Uhh, of course!" I beamed as I made direct eye contact with him.

"I'm so happy to be in a real relationship with you now. You don't even know."

"Me too." I replied as I got up from my seat, going over to him.

He stood up from where he was seated as well, and I gave him a hug. I wrapped my arms around his torso tightly as I rested my head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me, swaying us back and forth ever so gently. I looked up at him, connecting my lips with his. Our lips moved in sync, creating a perfect harmony. He placed his hand on the small of my back, pushing my body closer to his as he deepened the kiss. He let go shortly after.

"I still have one more surprise for you, baby. It's back in the room." He breathlessly said.

We walked hand in hand to the elevator, getting on and off at our floor, a few stories down.

— 11:42 PM

We walked though the doors, taking my heels and jacket off while he kicked his Jordan's off. He led me to the bathroom, covering my eyes as he directed me where to go so I wouldn't stumble over. He let go, kissing the side of my cheek.

"I wanted you to end the night relaxed. So I ran you a bath with some of your favorite self care items and some other stuff I saw online that other girls recommended." He whispered in my ear.

My eyes started to glisten with happy tears because I was just so freaking happy right now. This is the happiest I've been in a long time. And it's all because of him. A tear rolled down my cheek, him wiping it away. 

"Don't cry, Sae." He said softly as he wiped my tear away.

"I'm trying not too, but I'm so emotional. You know how I can get. I'm just so happy with you right now. That's all." I admitted.

"Me too. How about we get you out of those clothes and into the bath? I'll wait for you when you're done in the bedroom." He kissed my lips, his hands lingering on my waist.

"Join me. You did plan this whole night for us after all." I suggested, tugging on his tattooed arm.

"You sure? I don't want you to be uncomfortable." He asked uneasy.

"I'm sure. I'm not uncomfortable with you at all in the slightest anymore. I trust you. With everything. All the way." I reassured him.

"Are you comfortable, love?" I asked, wanting to make sure.

"Yes, I'm comfortable. One hundred percent." He confirmed.

"Okay then. Join me." I said as I started to strip myself of my clothes.

I grabbed a makeup wipe and started taking my makeup off. I was left in only his chain he had given me to wear when I turned around to see him taking his clothes off too. He picked me up before sitting down, placing us both in the bathtub. We were facing each other as we cleaned our bodies, putting on face masks sheets, making stupid jokes, and laughing.

Eventually, we had shifted positions. I was now sat in between his legs, my back pressed to his front. It wasn't weird or uncomfortable at all. It was actually very comfortable. I trusted him. All of him. I had moved slightly, discarding the sheet masks we wore to the side of the tub for the time being, when he groaned.

"Sae, you keep moving against me like that and you gonna start feeling something." He warned me as he ran his hand over his face.

I bit my lip, moving against him again.

"Maybe I want to feel something." I told him, feeling confident.

I actually hadn't meant to do that at first, but since he brung it up, why not? He had been teasing and feeling up on me all day whenever he could. He couldn't keep his hands off me and I knew my outfit was driving him crazy, which drove me crazy as well. And being this close to him right now? All warm and skin to skin as I saw his toned body, tattooed arms, and his piercing blue eyes starring right at me. And the way he treated me so well. I wanted him. I needed him.

"Do you, now?" He said, pushing up against me.

I felt his hard on poking my backside and I didn't know what to do. I don't know what got into me, but I wanted to take him right then and there. I turned around, straddling his lap, my core pressed against him, skin to skin. We had never gone this far. Never skin to skin. And we had never had sex before.

I grinded my hips against his as I grabbed his face, kissing him roughly. His arms wrapped around my hips, locking me in so I couldn't go anywhere. He kissed me back, equally as needy. I moaned into the kiss, allowing him to slip his tongue in. I ran my fingers through his beard, my acrylic nails massaging it, causing him to hum in satisfaction. We steamily made out, trying to ease the friction.

"Marshall." I moaned.

"Hmm? What's wrong, baby?" He asked as he kissed along my jawline making his way down to my breast.

"I want you."

"Huh?" He stopped his movements, making sure he heard me correctly as he made eye contact with me.

"I want you. I'm ready."

I was ready to take things all the way with him sexually. I wasn't a virgin or anything; I just wanted to make sure the time was right before I ever had sex with him because I was still healing from my past and just wanted to be able to go fully all the way. And I was ready for that. I was ready to give him all of me, genuinely.

"Are you sure? Once it happens there's no going back. No do overs. I don't want you to think you have to just because we're in a relationship now."

"I know. I want to do this with you though. I'm ready for whatever." I smiled warmly at him.

"Okay." Was all he said before he kissed me again.

He picked me up, slowly placing me on the towel that was on the ground. He grabbed another towel, drying me off before he dried himself off, and picked me back up again. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he walked through the bathroom door that was connected to the bedroom. He laid me down on the bed, laying in between my legs.

"Are you on birth control, Sae?"

I shook my head yes.

"Yea. The nexplanon implant. I never took it out." I told him truthfully.

And that was the truth. Even though I wasn't sexually active for months, even before I met Marshall, I still had my nexplanon implant because I didn't want to go through the process of having to get it taken out just to eventually get it put back in. Plus, if I would've taken it out, my entire menstrual cycle would've been thrown out of wack.

"Alright, perfect. I didn't have any condoms with me anyways so if you weren't on birth control we'd be shit out of luck." He stupidly laughed, causing me to laugh too.

"Whatever, Marshall." I playfully hit his chest.

I got up, pushing him to his back, forcing him to lay down. I got in between his legs, grabbing his dick as I kissed it softly, teasing him. He closed his eyes, letting out a breath of air. I licked from the base to the tip a few times, before stopping. I wouldn't be giving him head tonight. I climbed back on top of him, grabbing his large member as I aligned it with my sleek entrance. I rubbed him through my folds a few times to lube him up before finally taking him in me for the very first time.

"Oh my god." We both moaned out in unison, feeling each other once and for all.

He was definitely above average, no denying that. But when I actually felt him inside of me, I realized just how much bigger above average he really was. I eased myself down on his member slowly as he helped guide me, directing my hips. I threw my head back, moaning as I felt him so far inside me and it wasn't even his full length.

"You got it, baby. I know you can take it all." He encouraged me.

I slowly, but surely took all of him inside of me. I gave myself a few seconds to adjust before grinding my hips. I began bouncing up and down on him at a steady pace as he gripped my waist tightly, for sure leaving marks.

"Uhhh fuck, Sadé. You feel so fucking good." He moaned out, throwing his head back against the pillow.

I leaned forward, kissing his exposed neck as I countinued to ride him, leaving hickies on his neck and jawline. He felt so good inside of me. He stretched me out completely, filling me up.

"Oh, Marshall." I moaned seductively in his ear.

I guess that triggered something in him because he started thrusting into me at full force.

"Yea! Say my name, baby. Who's pussy is this?" He growled at me.

"Oh god. It's yours Marshall. It's all yours."

"And who's dick is this, baby? Huh?"

"Mines. You're all mines." I whimpered as he kept driving his hips into mines.

He stopped all movements, pulling out. He lifted me up, flipping us both over. He spread my legs open, slipping in between. I wrapped my legs around his torso as he pushed himself back inside of me. He began thrusting in and out at a fast pace, making the bed shake. I was a moaning mess.

"Fuck me, Marshall." I moaned, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He face was now in the crook of my neck, licking the sensitive skin.

"That what you want, Sae? You want me to fuck you senseless?" He voice dripped in my ear with lust.

"Mhm."

"Words, baby."

"Yes. God, please yes." I begged him.

He didn't reply. Instead, he began pounding inside of me at an insane pace. Exiting out of my wet pussy completely before entering again, going balls deep over & over. This drove me crazy as I began moaning and cussing in his ear, only causing him to go 10 times harder because it turned him on. He was a moaning mess too, grunting and whispering dirty words to me.

Not much longer, I felt my walls start clenching around him. He knew I was close because he felt it.

"Fuck. This tight, wet pussy feels so fucking good. This is the best I've ever had. This pussy is all mines, right? Ain't it, Sae, baby." He husky asked me.

"Yes, baby. This wet pussy is all yours." I whimpered so close to the edge.

"I'm about to cum. I know you're close. I want you to look at me when you come. Okay, pretty girl?"

"Okay." I struggled to get out.

He kept up his fast, steady thrusts into me, making me get that familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach.

I looked him in the eyes, making direct eye contact with him. The eye contact alone was enough to send me over the edge, my walls tightening around him.

"I'm cumming, baby. OH YES!" I screamed out, not averting my gaze.

"FUCKKKKK."

I felt him pump his load in me, his body stiffening as he came. He continued to thrust, riding out our highs together. He slowed down, before stopping completely, using his forearms to prop himself up against my naked body. We laid there in silence for a little bit, his penis still inside me as we caught our breaths.

"Woah." He simply said breathlessly.

"Yea, woah." I mocked in agreeable with him.

He pulled out of me, our mixed juices dripping out. I immediately felt a sense of emptiness. He got up, going to the bathroom and came back with a warm moist wash cloth. He cleaned me up before cleaning up himself and the bed.

He went back to the bathroom, before climbing into the bed next to me. He pulled the covers over our naked bodies, pulling me close to him.

"Let's go to sleep. We have an early flight to catch in the morning. Goodnight, Sae." He said kissing my head.

"Goodnight, love."
