One Wild Ride (A Marvel Fanfic-Complete)

Our Last Goodbye

Beyoncé - Bigger

Tamika watched from the door as Erik tucked Jamil into bed.  The little boy had been asking for another story and stalling bedtime for at least the last hour. While Erik, being the big softy that he apparently was for his son, had been caving in each time and telling him all about his adventures in the Middle East, as well as north and east africa. 

Finally Tamika stepped in and firmly told them both that was enough for the night.  She had a feeling that Jamil felt how she felt, that their time with Erik was running out.  He would have his father in there past midnight telling him more stories.

Erik looked up at her noting her in one of his old  T-shirts that she slept in every night since he disappeared.  Her shapely legs shown from the bottom hem as the shirt stopped just below her hips giving glimpses of the lace panties that she wore underneath.  He licked his lips and then quickly ended the story much to Jamil's dismay.

As soon as the light was shut off and the door closed leaving them alone in the hall, Erik scooped Tamika up off of her feet causing her to giggle.  He snuggled his face into the side of her neck as he carried her to their bedroom growling, "I gotta make up for lost time woman.  Five years of it."

Tamika pecked his lips.  "We have the rest of our lives for that."

Erik lay her on the bed and took off his pants.  He climbed over top of her on the bed brushing her bushy hair out of her face.  "You know that ain't true."

Tamika grabbed his face and looked into his eyes.  She said firmly, "Erik.  You're not leaving us.  Not again."

He slipped his hand behind her neck, and bringing her face up close to his face, he kissed her deeply.  She did not know how hard it was for him to tell her no. Only she and his son held that place in his heart. Tasting her like he missed her and she was all he needed in this world, he flipped them over as they kissed, so she straddled him on the bed, letting their tongues wash together and rubbing her round ass underneath his old t shirt.

Breaking the kiss, Tamika pushed up from his chest and looked down at him.  "Why does it have to be you?"

"You know why it has to be me."  Erik rubbed his hand tenderly up and down her thighs coming closer and closer to the lining of her panties.  He moved his had to the now smooth skin on her arms. He had loved her even with the scarring but it made him happy to see that they were gone.

"I'll give it back -I'll give everything back.  I'll even go back to the wheelchair if it means you stay with us." Tamika pouted, starting to cry now.

Erik scoffed and looked away not wanting to see her tears. "My death is tied to the soul stone. That's why I didn't come back with the others. It's permanent.  It can't be changed.  If I ain't back in my time to hand the stone over, you vanish with the rest of them.  You and my son. I can't take that chance.  It's too risky.  Who knows if you'll get brought back once events change. Either way, my death happens. There's nothing that's gonna change that."

Erik looked fiercely into Tamika's eyes now.  "But we got all night.  I ain't going back for a min.  Shit, I wanna spend it eating and fucking.   Don't waste our time crying over spilled milk Mika."

Tamika just cried harder.  Her heart was broken at the thought of him leaving her once again. Becoming the half man creature who came to her ever night. Her nightmares were completely gone after he started to enter her dreams. But it still wasn't enough. She wanted this man back. Her Erik back.

Erik tsked and  sat up.  He took her hands down from her face.  His eyes softened slightly, looking regretful.  "Ima love you forever Mika. You and only you. Stop crying, huh?"
