10,000 Hours With A Rich Menace (Caselli Family Book 1)

“I told you to pack the night before with me and you wanted to wait until the morning. This shit is unacceptable, Wonder… why the fuck would you ever do that shit to the toothpaste?” All I heard was Maverick ranting as I came from under the covers.

The sun nearly knocked me back because it was so bright in here. He was still going on and it sounded like gibberish because I couldn’t concentrate. So much was happening at one time as I held my hand up to silence him for a second.

“Huh? I can’t hear I don’t have my glasses on… hold on,” I reached for my glasses and put them on.

Maverick stood there for a second before he spoke. “Wonder that don’t even make fucking sense.”

“It makes a lot of sense to me… I can now hear you. What are you ranting about, Mavie?” I yawned as he pulled the toothpaste from behind his back.

“I fucked up… when Skyler told me that shit, I thought she was joking ‘cause she slow. You let me slide up in you, take your virginity and now I can’t get rid of you because I’m all in love… all for you to do this,” he walked closer to me and shoved the toothpaste tube in my face.

“What’s wrong with it?”

“Wanda, why the fuck are you strong arming the damn toothpaste like this? You got eight set of teeth up in that mouth? I would know, my dick been in there… I ain’t feel extra sets of teeth where you would need to use this damn much and squeeze the shit like this.”

He was full on crashing out about the toothpaste and was serious. I couldn’t laugh because this was serious to him. Everything was still foggy as he paced with the tube in his hand and continued his rant.

When there was a light tap at the door, I fell back onto the pillows happy that he was done chatting about nothing. Who cared about the toothbrush to toothpaste ratio?

“What?” he hollered, and Duke stood in the doorway staring at him because this was normal to him.

He was used to this man going off at any little thing. “I know you need to stop all that yelling… you sound crazy.” I yawned. “Ahhhh!”

I screamed when he jumped onto the bed and was now in my face. “Do I, Wanda? ‘Cause I wouldn’t be set off this early if you wasn’t in there fucking the toothpaste. Then you out here teaching babies… My God daughter to do the same thing.”

“What in the fuck is wrong with him?” I looked at Duke who shrugged his shoulders and waited for him to finish with me.

“Yo, Boss… we got word on two things… important.”

Maverick stared in my face, kissing me on the lips before climbing out the bed. “You lucky I love you, Wonder.”

“I could say the same,” I yawned, as I turned over and he left the room with Duke.

Snatching my glasses off, I got comfortable again until I heard my future husband’s voice rattle off the damn walls with how loud he was. Glass being broke followed as I leaned back up in the bed.

“Duke, if I get to that fucking jet and we not ready for take-off, I’m fucking choking the pilot… on my dead mama.”

He stormed back into the room, slamming the door behind him pacing in front of me. All he had to do was look at me, and I pulled the blankets from me as he climbed into the bed between my legs.

Like I was his personal drug, he kissed the inside of my thighs as he nudged his nose in between my legs and inhaled, while I rubbed his head. “Want to talk about it, Mavie?”

“Nigga killed one of the Case House girls… they fucking killed Teyana,” he continued to kiss the inside of my thigh and smell me.

Everything inside of this suite screamed expensive, so knowing that he was out there tossing things, if this is what he needed to calm down, then I was going to calm his ass down.

“No Amalfi Coast?”

He looked up into my eyes. “I’m gonna make it up to you.”

“It’s okay. Your girls are important… was it my father?”

His look gave me my answer as I rubbed his head and leaned my head back. Raye was making more of a mess than anything. It was hard to feel bad and not want him dead when he was going around causing destruction for everyone.

“Then we go home.”

He kissed my thigh and looked up at me. “We go home.”

I rubbed his head as he continued to kiss between my legs and quiet his thoughts. As much as I was looking forward to going to Italy, I knew he had business to handle and that came first. Whenever we did go, I wanted his focus to be on just the two of us, nothing else.

I almost felt bad for him as he trained hard listening to this same song on a loop. Taking a break from kicking the shit out of the little training device, he nodded his head to the song while he caught his breath.

He did this every morning.

Never skipped a morning.

I was slowly learning Menace and I noticed he became more obsessive with things whenever he had a lot going on, and lately there had been a lot of things going on. His hands were constantly rubbing together, and he screamed on Lupita because she didn’t have his smoothies ready at three in the morning.

Menace was out in full force, and I wanted whatever that was going on to be done so he could calm down. I watched him pop his medicine in the morning, and not even that helped. He had been down here since early this morning. I’m not sure he even went to bed last night and probably came straight in here to work out.

I held a cup of coffee in my hand as I came in from my studio this morning, so I heard the familiar tune and found myself humming to it while I stood in the entrance of the massive state-of-the-art gym. My ten-dollar gym membership didn’t have none of the equipment that he had. Maverick lived his life on a loop – nothing changed.

His home was the same exact way, his staff knew how he liked everything. There were no surprises in his life, and whenever there was, there was hell to be paid. I think I had been the only change in his life.

“Morning, Wonder.” He saw me before I could make my presence known.

I was in the process of putting all the things I had bought when I went on my angry shopping spree away, and I fell asleep in my room. Menace hadn’t gotten home by the time I woke up to pee, so I changed my clothes and climbed back into the bed. I also wanted to give him some space, too.

“Good morning… is it quiet hour?” I whispered.

“Why you whispering?”

“Answer the question first.”

“Nah.”

I took a seat on one of the bikes and looked at him. “How are you this morning?”

He turned, his chest glistening with sweat and tiredness in his eyes, which proved my theory that he hadn’t slept. “Didn’t sleep last night, so came downstairs to work out.”

“Why?”

He walked over toward me, took the coffee out of my hand to sit on the stand near the bike, and picked me up. “What are you doing?” I giggled, as he held me in his arms, staring into my eyes.

“You know why I didn’t sleep good.”

“I do?” I scanned my brain to figure out why he wouldn’t be having a good night’s sleep. “I know you showered and probably counted your steps to the bed.”

“Fourteen.”

“Actually, it’s twenty-nine,” I countered.

“You shorter than me… I take bigger steps.” He continued to hold me up as I smiled at him. “You wasn’t in my bed… why?”

“Was giving you space, Maverick. I don’t want to be overcrowding your space like I did before… see, I’m being mindful. Skyler says I don’t read the room sometimes and I’m trying to do that with you, but I don’t know where I fit.”

I wanted to sleep in his room and be there when he came in, however, I was scared to do it. What if he came home and was pissed that I was in his space? After the way he blew up on me for ruining his quiet hour, I was learning my place when it came to sharing his space. At the end of the day, this was his home.

He had curated every corner of this massive home to how he wanted it. Every part of this house reflected him, and it was his comfort. I was trying to figure out how I fit into this home and into his world without being annoying to him.

“You fit here,” he lowered me until my ass touched his dick, and then he lifted me up again. “In my bed, Wonder. Did I complain about you being in my space?”

“Dawg, I’m not trying to get to that point. I don’t know if you know this or not, but Mitchell, yo’ ass be tripping.”

“Wanda, yo’ ass be talking.”

“See!”

He laughed and carried me out of the gym, across the hall where the sauna was. “I don’t want you to question where you fit in my life, Wonder. I told you where I want you, so let me come home and you not in that bed again… we gonna have a problem.”

I smiled. “Okay.”

He kissed me on the lips and closed the sauna behind us. “Remember when you wanted to fuck me in here?”

“I never said that. All I asked was a simple question and you answered it.” I looked away, and he pulled my face back to face him.

Lowering me down, I could feel his dick fighting to get out his shorts. There was no other way that I could have imagined losing my virginity. Since I was a teen, I had sat back and envisioned what it would be like losing it to someone.

Would there be flowers and a bunch of music while we stared into each other’s eyes and promised forever to one another? I remember my mom found my journal and I had journaled exactly how it would happen with Tony.

I just knew he would be the man that would take my virginity. That I would be staring into his eyes while I gave him my most precious gift. Instead, it was Maverick who took it, and I had no regrets.

He was so gentle, soft, and reassuring as he took something that I had been holding onto. As he pushed himself inside of me, removing the last of my innocence, the Eiffel Tower was right behind him.

How many women can say they lost their virginity in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris? Not too many, and Maverick did that for me. It was just as important to him as it was for me. Then the proposal. I got engaged in front of the Mona Lisa, and after seeing the size of the ring, that funky hoe didn’t matter that much anymore.

“Can I fuck you, Wonder?” He bit his bottom lip as he continued to hold me, and I looked up at him all giddy.

I kissed him. “I’m going to meet with your sisters in a little while for brunch at Kora’s condo.”

He kissed my neck ignoring anything that I had to say as he pulled down his shorts, and I felt him pushing my panties to the side. Maverick sat down on the bench and looked at me while he slowly placed me on his dick, and I held onto his shoulders softly moaning.

I didn’t understand why everyone in the world was so angry. Getting dick was the best thing next to crack. I never did crack, but the way it had people out here begging for it, I can imagine it was similar to having sex.

It was always a struggle having to adjust myself to Maverick’s size. How can a man be this powerful, rich, handsome, and have a dick as big as his? I guess his only flaw was that he was a looney bin.

A looney bin that knew how to fuck.

“Tell me what you were saying again… wasn’t listening.” He smirked as he held onto my waist, and I bounced up and down on him.

He bit down on his lip as he increased speed, slamming me down onto him harder. My breast slammed against my chest the harder that we went. “Mavie… hmmm… harder,” I begged, and he did exactly what I wanted by slamming me down harder each time.

His hand gripped my ass, while the other held my waist as I felt his dick stretching me out each time he lifted me and slammed me back down onto him. His chain slapped against his chest as he bit down on his lip while keeping eye contact with me.

“Give me kiss, Wonder… let me taste that tongue,” he grunted, close to his peak, and I was already at mine.

I held his face, sucking on his tongue while he went harder, and the bench started to move. “The bench, Mavie.”

“Fuck that bench,” he groaned, as he held me tighter on the hips and lifted me one final time before he slammed me back onto him, and I exploded, while holding onto his neck. I felt his body tense up as he released himself inside of me.

Kissing his face, I looked at him. “This wasn’t what I expected when I came to say hi to you this morning.”

“Wouldn’t have had to get dicked down in the sauna if you were in that bed last night… don’t let it happen again.”

His phone started to ring in his shorts, and I reached down to give it to him. Looking at the number, I could see him disassociating, which meant the call was about to have him on ten. I tried to move, and he kept me in place, while he kissed on my neck and answered the call.

“I’m inside my fucking wife and you calling me, so this shit better be fucking good, or when I finish, I’m kicking somebody’s head off their shoulders.” I kissed his shoulder as he continued on his conversation.

I could never tell if the conversation went good or not because he was never pleased to be bothered. Duke was the only person he didn’t go off on because there was a mutual respect, more like friends. Some of the security would tell Duke to relay a message because they knew he wasn’t going to go off as much.

Grabbing his watch, I looked at the time and whispered. “I have to go and get ready.”

He held me in place while cradling the phone between his shoulder. When I felt him rising again, I quickly hopped off because he wasn’t about to slut me out in this sauna when I had things to do.

“Why you running, Wonder?” he called behind me, completely disregarding the conversation on the phone.

“I cannot be late for brunch, Mitchell… see you later, baby?”

He nodded as he smiled at me. “Def gonna see you later, Mrs. Caselli.”

“You keep calling me that, but I haven’t seen no talks about us actually making it official… don’t you have to be married?”

“Not worried about those niggas, Wonder… clear your schedule tomorrow, okay?”

I paused. “To get married?”

“Yeah… I wanna marry you. You still want to marry me, Boo?” He looked at me with that silly smirk that I loved so much. Not everybody got to see it, so I felt like it was reserved for only me. I watched as he pulled the phone from his ear and looked at it with disgust while putting it on speaker. “Nigga, you just said fuck my marriage?”

“What?” the other man nearly hollered. “Mens, I ain’t never say no shit like that. I’m happy for you and Mrs. C. That shit is beautiful.”

“Our marriage or her?” he questioned.

“Fuck… Mens is this a fucking trick question?”

He leaned back. “Depends … answer it wrong and I got a trick for yo’ ass.”

“The marriage?”

“Answer it like we playing jeopardy.”

“What is the marriage?”

“Ding ding… you good for now.” He ended the call and turned his attention back toward me. I knew his men hated to see his ass coming because he kept their asses on their feet.

“I still want to marry you, Maverick. Tomorrow sounds so soon though. Neither of us have anything to wear.”

“And you acting like last minute matters to us? You ‘bout to be a Caselli… I’ll have your shit in our room, Stevie… don’t you go back down to that other room.”

“I have my stuff in there,” I protested as he stood up, his dick still out and shorts around his feet as he shuffled over toward me. “Why are you like this, Maverick?”

Backing me up into the corner, he leaned over me while staring in my eyes. “I’ll have them move it upstairs on the other side of the closet.”

“After the toothpaste crash out, I don’t know.”

Softly nibbling my lips, he grabbed my ass. “Don’t be in there strong arming the damn toothpaste and we won’t have no problems.”

I stood on my toes, pushed my lips against his and exited the sauna. “See you later, crazy.”
