Chapter 9: The Live Stream

The morning light came through the curtains too early. Ryan had already left for work by the time I opened my eyes. No goodbye kiss, no note on the counter. Just the quiet house and the faint smell of his coffee. I lay there for a minute, staring at the ceiling, thinking about last night. Jake’s mouth on me. Ryan’s angry questions. Marcus’s text. Everything felt heavy, but I pushed it down.

I got up, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and put on a simple tank top and leggings. My hair was messy, but that was fine for a live stream online. I grabbed my phone, set it up on the tripod in the living room, and hit the button to go live.

“Good morning, beautiful people,” I said, smiling big at the camera. “It’s your girl Bella here, coming to you with no makeup and real talk. Today I want to remind every single one of you, especially my thick queens out there, that your body is not a problem to be fixed. It’s a home to be loved.”

The comments started flooding in fast. Hearts, fire emojis, and messages from women who looked just like me.

Yes queen! Preach!

Finally someone who gets it.

My belly thanks you Bella

Love my rolls because of you

Almost eighty percent of my followers were curvy girls and women who carried extra weight. They connected with me because I didn’t hide my soft belly or thick thighs. I talked for almost thirty minutes, sharing stories about days I felt bad about my body and how I learned to stand tall anyway.

“Listen,” I said, holding the phone closer. “Some people will look at you and only see your size. Your husband, your friends, even strangers. But your worth isn’t in a smaller waist. It’s in how you show up for yourself.”

The likes and comments kept pouring in. One woman wrote, “I cried watching this. Thank you for making me feel beautiful today.” That one hit me hard. I ended the live stream with a big smile and a wave.

The rest of the day I edited videos, answered DMs, and tried not to think too much. Around six in the evening I changed into my gym clothes, tight black leggings and a cropped sports bra that held my heavy breasts. I looked at myself in the mirror. My curves were all there, soft and full. I sent Ryan a quick text.

Me: Going to training this evening. Might be late. Don’t wait up.

He replied with a simple “Okay.” No questions. No “be safe.” Just that.

I drove to Marcus’s house with my heart beating faster. He had texted the address earlier. When I pulled up, the place looked nice but simple. He opened the door before I could knock, wearing a fitted black shirt and shorts. His muscles showed clearly. He smiled that slow, dangerous smile.

“Come in,” he said, voice deep.

I stepped inside. He had cleared a big space in the living room with mats on the floor and some weights in the corner. The lights were dim. It didn’t feel like a normal training session.

I set my bag down. “Ready to work out?”

I stepped inside. He had cleared a big space in the living room with mats on the floor and some weights in the corner. The lights were dim. It didn’t feel like a normal training session.

I set my bag down. “Ready to work out?”

Marcus didn’t answer with words. He walked straight to me, pulled me close, and kissed me hard. His hands went to my waist, gripping the soft flesh there. I melted into him, kissing back like I’d been waiting all day. All the stress from last night disappeared for a moment.

“You have no idea how much I thought about you,” he murmured against my lips. “All day.”

“Me too,” I whispered.

We didn’t even pretend to start the workout. He backed me against the wall, mouth moving down my neck. His hands slid under my sports bra, lifting it up. My big breasts sprang free, heavy and soft. Marcus groaned low in his throat.

“Fuck, Bella. Look at these.”

He cupped one breast in his big hand, lowered his head, and took my nipple into his mouth. The wet heat made me gasp. He sucked gently at first, then harder, tongue swirling around it.

I grabbed his shoulders, breathing fast. “Marcus…”

He switched to the other breast, sucking deeper, one hand squeezing the soft flesh. My knees went weak. This was wrong. So wrong. But it felt too good to stop.

Right then, my phone started ringing loudly from my bag on the floor.

It kept ringing on the floor. Loud and insistent. I glanced down and saw Ryan’s name on the screen. My stomach dropped.

Marcus lifted his head from my breast, lips shiny. “You gonna get that?”

I hesitated, then bent down and picked it up. My sports bra was still pushed up, breasts out. “I have to or he'll keep calling.”

I answered, trying to sound normal. “Hey.”

“Bella? Where are you?” Ryan’s voice came through, a little distorted. “I got home early and you’re not here. Is training still going?”

The signal was weak. His voice kept cutting in and out.

“Yeah… I’m still… at the session,” I said, breathing heavy. Marcus didn’t stop. He lowered his head again and took my nipple back into his mouth, sucking harder this time. I bit my lip to keep from moaning.

“What? You’re breaking up. Did you say session?” Ryan asked. “Hello? Bella?”

“It’s… bad signal here,” I managed. “Training… going longer than expected. I’ll… be home soon.”

Marcus swirled his tongue around my sensitive nipple, one hand squeezing my other breast roughly. Pleasure shot through me. I gripped his shoulder tight, trying not to make noise.

“Sounds weird over there,” Ryan said. “You okay? You sound out of breath.”

“I’m… fine. Just working… hard.” My voice cracked a little as Marcus sucked deeper, greedy now.

The line cut off for a second, then came back. “Alright. Don’t be too late. We need to talk when you get home.”

“Okay… bye.” I hung up fast and dropped the phone.

Marcus looked up at me with dark eyes. “Good girl. Now where were we?”

He pulled me closer and latched onto my breast again, sucking hard. I moaned softly, fingers in his hair. The danger made everything feel more intense. His mouth was wet and warm, pulling pleasure from me with every pull.

We were lost in it when I heard it.

The front door knob clicked.

My eyes flew open. Marcus froze, mouth still full of my breast.

The door started to open. Sophia’s voice called out, “Marcus? Babe, I’m home early. The meeting got canceled.”

My heart stopped.

Marcus’s face was still pressed against my bare chest, lips wrapped tightly around my nipple.
