Introduction
“Jadi kenapa isteri aku cakap pasal lidah ajaib kau?”
“Sebab itulah yang wanita-wanita aku panggil. Aku tak bawa perempuan lain masuk katil aku.” Dia menerima bir yang dihulurkan oleh Siobhan.
“Ajarlah dia sikit apa nak buat dengan lidah.” Dia membalas dengan anggukan kepada suaminya dan memicit lembut lengan Molly.
“Sekarang, aku kena buktikan kat dia yang aku tahu apa nak buat.” Toad merungut sambil duduk di sebelah lelaki yang lebih muda.
“Kau suka blow job?” Molly bertanya dan Toad mengangguk sambil mencebik. “Kau rasa dia suka sentiasa ada batang kau kat muka dia tanpa balasan?”
Toad mula menjawab dan kemudian melihat Molly yang mengangkat bahu.
“Wanita tak serumit yang kita sangka. Mereka akan beritahu apa yang mereka nak. Kau cuma perlu dengar.”
“Kau dapat seorang lagi perempuan dalam katil kau dan sekarang kau tahu segala-galanya pasal mereka?”
“Isteri aku bawa Jess masuk katil kami. Dia cakap dia nak bawa Tammy masuk katil kami.” Dia memberitahu Toad yang terkejut. “Aku dengar. Dan aku akan dapat seorang lagi anak perempuan.”

Chapter 1
Ayuh, puteri Disney selalu melakukannya. Mereka bertemu, mereka berkahwin, mereka menyanyi lagu yang catchy sambil menuju ke bahagia selamanya mereka. – Mary
JANUARI 2020
Molly berdiri di luar pintu kapel yang dibuka dua puluh empat jam, tempat dia berkahwin dengan isterinya lebih dua puluh tahun yang lalu. Dia gugup untuk masuk ke dalam. Semua orang sedang menunggunya.
Becks sedang menunggunya di tempat yang sama di mana dia menunggu Becks lebih dua puluh tahun yang lalu.
Dia tidak ingat dia sebegitu gugup dua puluh tahun yang lalu. Dia juga tidak ingat dia sebegitu sedar dua puluh tahun yang lalu. Sambil tersenyum, dia membiarkan kenangan hari itu pada September 1999 membanjiri fikirannya. Kemudian dia teringat semua kali lain mereka datang ke sini untuk menambah seorang lagi ahli keluarga. Dan semua anak-anak kecil yang telah datang. Dan baru-baru ini, dua anak lelaki kecil.
Tali lehernya dilonggarkan dan butang atas kolar bajunya dibuka dengan cepat.
Mata birunya yang cerah berkilauan dengan air mata yang disapunya dengan belakang tangan besarnya. Rambut hitam panjangnya mempunyai beberapa helai perak yang bersinar dalam kepang. Seperti biasa, terutama dengan begitu banyak anak perempuan, dia mempunyai reben renda merah jambu di hujung kepangnya.
Untuk sekali ini, tiada apa-apa di dalam janggutnya. Ia tergantung longgar sehingga ke bahagian atas sternumnya. Ia jauh lebih pendek hari ini selepas salah seorang anak lelakinya melekatkan lollipop di dalamnya malam tadi. Jika bukan kerana potongan rambut yang tidak dijangka, reben renda merah jambu kedua akan berada di hujung kepang janggutnya. Dan bukan tersimpan dalam poketnya di mana dia akan membawanya mulai sekarang.
Merah jambu kerana itu warna kegemaran Becks. Empat isteri lainnya, Pretties-nya, dan semua anak-anak mereka, Little Pretties-nya, tahu bahawa dia akan melakukan apa sahaja untuk isteri tercintanya.
Permintaan Becks yang membuatnya memakai jeans gelap, baju Oxford merah jambu, but motosikal lamanya yang usang dan jaket kulit kelabnya.
Jaket itu adalah jaket kulit dengan tampalan Devil’s Saints di belakang. Seorang syaitan merah menunggang motosikal dengan wajah gila, termasuk lidah bercabang yang menjulur dari sebelah kanan mulutnya dan mata terbuka luas. Sayap malaikat gergasi keluar dari belakangnya dengan halo emas tergantung dengan bahaya pada tanduk kirinya.
Dua puluh tahun yang lalu, dia berdiri di hujung lorong, berpakaian serupa, dan melihat seorang jelitawan dalam pakaian merah jambu dan gading berjalan ke arahnya. Hari yang hangat pada bulan September itu sempurna. Walaupun ia disusun dalam beberapa jam sahaja.
Hari ini akan sempurna untuk Becks-nya. Dia pastikan. Dia merancang semuanya dan dia serta isteri-isteri lainnya, Pretties-nya, memastikan semuanya berjalan seperti yang Becks inginkan.
Sebaik sahaja dia dapat menenangkan kegugupan dan rama-rama dalam perutnya, dia akan pergi kepada Becks-nya.
Pintu di belakangnya terbuka perlahan. Dia tidak berpaling, tetapi dia tahu itu adalah anak perempuannya yang sulung, Priscilla.
“Ayah.”
“Ayah tahu.” Dia berbisik.
Dia melangkah ke hadapannya dan memberikan senyuman berair. Lembut dia membetulkan kolar dan tali lehernya. “Mama Becks sedang menunggu ayah.”
Dia memakai gaun bayi merah jambu yang menjadi kegemaran Becks ketika dia mengandung Angel. Priss selalu menyukainya. Ia telah diubah sedikit untuk sesuai dengan bentuk tubuhnya yang lebih kecil.
Priss mewarisi ketinggian dan lengkungan tubuh ibunya. Satu ditekankan oleh legging hitam dan skirt pendek. Yang satu lagi oleh leher rendah yang lebar. Rambutnya diwarnakan hitam untuk dipadankan dengan seluruh keluarga. Biasanya, dia memakai kanta lekap untuk menjadikan mata coklatnya biru.
Becks telah meminta supaya hari ini Priss memakai cermin matanya. Dia mahu memastikan Priss melihat dengan mata yang sama seperti ibu kandungnya. Priss adalah anak kepada sahabat baik Becks yang telah berdiri teguh bersamanya semasa salah satu masa terburuk dalam hidupnya. Selepas kematiannya, Becks dan Molly membesarkan anak perempuannya yang masih bayi menjadi wanita muda yang cantik yang berdiri di hadapannya sekarang.
“Saya hanya perlukan sedikit masa,” bisik Molly.
“Saya tahu.” Dia mengusap janggut Molly dan merapikannya. “Awak nampak kacak untuk dia.”
Tangan besar dan berotot Molly melingkari tubuhnya dan menariknya dalam pelukan. “Dia sentiasa cantik untuk saya.”
“Memang betul.” Priscilla memeluk ayahnya erat-erat dan cuba menahan air mata. “Dia akan sentiasa begitu.”
Molly menghela nafas dan mencium lembut kepala Priscilla. “Mari kita pergi lihat cantik saya.”
Priscilla melangkah ke belakang dan memandang ke atas. Rambut hitamnya diikat kemas dalam sanggul di dasar kepalanya. Berdiri di hadapannya adalah seorang wanita muda yang cantik. Molly tidak pasti ke mana perginya anak kecilnya dulu.
Namun, remaja di hadapannya masih memandangnya dengan mata penuh kasih sayang. Molly mengangkat tangan besarnya yang kasar dan mengusap pipi Priscilla. Priscilla merasai keselesaan dan kasih sayang yang ditawarkan. Sambil tersenyum, Molly mencium pelipisnya.
“Awak nampak cantik, Sayang Kecil saya.”
“Terima kasih, ayah.”
“Saya sayang awak, Priscilla.”
“Saya sayang ayah juga.” Priscilla cuba menahan air mata, tetapi satu titisan mengalir dan Molly menangkapnya dengan ibu jarinya.
“Mari,” katanya sambil menarik Priscilla ke sisinya. “Bawa saya jumpa Cantik saya, Becks saya.”
Mereka berjalan masuk ke dalam bangunan, melalui lobi ke kapel dan menuruni lorong panjang. Rakan-rakan dan keluarga mengelilingi mereka. Empat isteri Molly yang lain duduk di barisan hadapan dikelilingi oleh anak-anak mereka. Cantik-cantik, cantik kecil dan anak-anak lelaki mereka.
Priscilla bergerak dari ayahnya untuk duduk bersama keluarga yang lain. Tammy dan Yvonne kedua-duanya memeluk anak perempuan sulung mereka. Alicia menghulurkan tangan melintasi Tammy dan menggenggam tangan remaja itu. Michaela menjenguk di sekeliling Yvonne untuk memandangnya dan Priscilla memberinya senyuman.
Kim yang berumur tiga tahun merangkak ke pangkuan kakak sulungnya. Priscilla memeluknya erat dan menghirup dalam-dalam bau manis keikhlasan.
Keempat-empat isteri Molly, empat belas anak perempuan dan dua anak lelaki semuanya memakai warna merah jambu. Seluruh bilik dihiasi dengan warna pastel. Tidak pernah dia melihat begitu ramai penunggang motosikal memakai warna merah jambu.
Tetapi di situlah mereka. Kelabnya dari Massachusetts. Cajuns dari Louisiana dan kelab saudara mereka, Texas Renegades. Sudah tentu, ada Vegas Mongrels tempatan. Sahabat baik Becks adalah saudara perempuan dan wanita kepada seorang Mongrel.
Bandar ini adalah tempat mereka bertemu. Ia sepatutnya menjadi hubungan singkat hujung minggu sementara Saints berada di bandar untuk perhimpunan. Hari Ahad tiba, dan dalam beberapa jam mereka bertukar dari hubungan satu malam menjadi suami isteri. Di sini, di kapel ini.
Dia tidak mahu cara lain.
Molly memandang isteri pertamanya. Dia masih cantik seperti hari mereka berkahwin bertahun-tahun yang lalu. Masih cantik dalam gaun gading dengan renda merah jambu dan manik-manik.
Dia menyentuh pipi pucatnya dengan lembut dan mencium dahinya. “Saya sayang awak, Rebecca.”

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.
