Page 25 of Kairo

“I’m cumming!” she screamed.

A sigh of relief washed over me, and right when Junie let out a heart pumping scream, I pulled out and released on her stomach. I fell beside her. My heartbeat was fast. My body was weak.

“Junie, you okay?”

“Whew… I-I don’t even know what to say,” she said with a surprised looked on her face.

“Wanna go again?”

She looked over at me and smiled. “Fuck yeah!”

Junie’s soft snores were just as cute as her. She laid on the side of me with her arm thrown across my chest and her leg wrapped around mine. We laid on her living room floor after making our way downstairs for water and snacks. We promised each other that we would go our separate ways for the night. Unfortunately, my dick bricked after Junie wrapped her mouth around a strawberry. Then we were back on for another round and another.

Junie gave me a run for my money. She had just as much energy as I did. When I thought we were done, she was ready again. The sun had been shining for hours but I hadn’t moved from this spot. I didn’t want to wake Junie, but my arm was becoming numb. Slowly, I moved her off me and took my time getting up. I tried my hardest to be quiet as I moved around the room.

“Kairo,” she called with her voice filled with sleep. “You don’t have to be sneaky. I’ve had plenty of one-night stands.”

“Nah, it ain’t that. I just didn’t want to wake you.”

She sat up on her elbow, hair falling around her face. Her breasts peeked from up under the sheet. I smiled at the hickies I left on them.

She sighed. “What was last night, Kairo? Do you think we crossed the line?”

“We were consenting adults. We did things we wanted to do.”

She nodded. “That’s true.”

We looked at each other. We both knew lines were crossed. There was no going back now. Plus, I wanted to taste more of Junie.

“What now?” she asked.

I stared at her beautiful eyes. They were hypnotizing. She was flushed from all the sex from last night, yet she still looked breathtaking. A part of me hesitated to answer the question. I walked a thin line. I was an Iron Knight undercover as a Savage Saint. My job was to get dirt on her family and take down the whole team. Yet, here I was falling inch by inch for her. This was dangerous no matter what side of the fence I was on. Before I could respond, Junie hopped up and stormed out of the room.

“Junie, where are you going?”

“I just need a moment to myself, Kairo. You can’t seem to answer a simple question. We are both adults, like you said, so act like it.”

“You didn’t even let me talk!”

“Like I said, I need a moment. If we want to be real, things did happen fast. I never want to have a man out here questioning his choices when it pertains to me. It happened to me with Keith when he had to choose between me and his dad, and he chose his dad. I can’t take no more iffy ass men. When you’re ready to be an adult, you know where to find me.”

“Junie—”

“I need space, Kairo.”

She closed the door before I could even finish what I had to say. All of me wanted to go behind her, but after spending time with Junie, I knew she was stubborn. I could stand at the door waiting for hours for her to answer me. Instead, I headed to the room to clean myself up.

Forty-five minutes later, after sitting with my thoughts, I knew I had to make this right.

After my showerand some more rest, I got dressed. I didn’t realize how tired my body was until I woke up from my nap. I checked the phone, and it was 1:00 PM. I had a few missed calls, mostly from my father. Instead of calling back, I changed my clothes to get dressed to go riding. I needed to clear my mind from everything that happened last night.

Kairo kept invading my headspace. No matter how hard I tried to think about something else, he came to mind. I slid on my black hoodie to match the black and gray jeans I wore then I slipped on my black riding boots. After I gave myself a once over in the mirror, I tied my hair in a bun to avoid helmet hair.

Slowly, I walked down the steps, not knowing what I was walking into. I wasn’t sure if Kairo was still here or left. The dick was good, no doubt about it. It was good enough to make anyone go crazy, but it wasn’t the dick that caused me to react the way I did. Lately I’d been feeling something stirring in me when it came to Kairo. The way he walked behind me at the meeting with the Iron Knights made me feel like I was his queen, and he was my king. He made eye contact whenever I spoke. He didn’t discredit me because I was woman. Most importantly, he saw me.

He didn’t give me special treatment or mistreat me because of who I was. He treated me the way he did because I was Junie. A part of me felt bad because my inability to tell him no might have jeopardized our work relationship. Kairo wasn’t my man, and I had no reason to act like that toward him. He was my bodyguard, no matter the feelings brewing inside of me.

I finally made it down the stairs and the scent of fresh flowers hit my nose. I made my way to the living room and my heart exploded out of my chest. My living room was transformed into a flower shop. There were roses of all colors, sunflowers, lilies, and carnations. My eyes watered at the random act of kindness.
