day.
“We don’t know. He was unconscious and they rushed him there. There will be no update until the Chaplain or his next of kin can get there.”
Kate enveloped me into her arms and cried on me again. I stood tall and held her as if it wasn’t real.
“His mother died. His dad and step-mom are in California.” I took a deep breath. “He is an only child with no family here other than the department.” My voice cracked as I tried to keep the tears at bay. “Can I qualify as his family?” I asked my boss as if he had any say in the matter.
“Let’s just get you to the hospital and see.”
Chapter 9
Another storm had descended upon New York this one was angrier than the last and seemed to want to stay over us. I stood under the emergency room overhang and watched the rain blow in. It had created a waterfall over the end of the awning.
I stuck my arm out and relished the cold water that poured down my arm. Before my mom died, she had once told me there was an old wives’ tale about wishing on a star. The story says you should never wish on a star, that there is only one star everyone wishes on and it cannot keep up. She told me you make wishes in the water. Each drop can carry one wish and you have a better chance of your wish being heard.
I stepped into the waterfall and let the water cascade down my body as I made a wish. I wished I could stop this killer. I made a wish Mark would live. I made a wish my dad would walk the straight and narrow path so I would never have to visit him behind plexiglass again.
“Brooklyn?” I heard a voice call out my name as I stood in the water. I couldn’t see who it was and I didn’t care. The water was carrying my wishes away.
I started to say a prayer as well to make sure I covered every angle when I heard my name again. I closed my eyes and ran my hands down my hair, pushing it back from my face.
At that moment, lips crashed against mine. I could taste coffee and whipped cream. The same flavor I always tasted when Mark kissed me. I pushed him back and stepped out of the water to see him standing before me with a hello kitty band-aid on his forehead.
I looked him over and saw nothing else wrong with him. My emotions were mixed with disbelief and joy. The thought of him dying or leaving me was agonizing, and I needed him now.
I pulled him back out into the water and then dragged him across Madison Avenue into Marcus Garvey Park. I felt his hesitation when we passed the pools and walked through the trees. As we descended upon the baseball field, Mark had an idea of what it was I wanted.
He then led me to home plate and kissed me with the tenacity of a man deprived. With the trees and the weather we had all the privacy we wanted, but the thrill of being outside was still there. I dropped to my knees and pulled him down to his knees with me.
I was drenched by the rain and my thighs coated in my own heat. Mark laid down on the mound and I climbed on top of him. The cold rain did nothing for the fire burning in my skin. I reached between us and unbuckled his belt. I then unzipped his pants and pulled his cock out.
The thought of never having him inside me again flourished and I couldn’t move fast enough. I lifted up and Mark’s fingers found my clit through my underwear. I nearly crumbled as he rubbed the tight little bundle of nerves. I cried out as he ripped off my underwear. He stuck one finger inside me and I squeezed it, wanting more. I needed more.
“You’re ready for me,” Mark shouted as the thunder rumbled.
He pulled his finger out and I put his cock at my entrance. I slowly lowered myself down his length and found it difficult to get him all the way inside me. Mark tilted me back a little and he slid right in. I wiggled at the new position that had me filled to the brim with his hard member. Every time I breathed, it seemed his cock hit that bundle of nerves inside me.
“Mark, I am always ready for you. Don’t you get it? I love you!” I
