“Nah. Come lay your ass back down so I can return the favor.”

“My incision?—”

“We’ll work around that shit. I need that pussy in my face… now.”

He snapped his fingers and pointed at the bed. I smirked to myself as I sauntered my naked frame over to him. I guess the shower could wait a little longer.

A Week Later

It was Saturday.

We’d just left the hospital from visiting Juri, and I was more than ready to bring my baby home. Every time I had to leave her I wanted to cry. Devin was determined to take my mind off things. Currently, we were on the way to his family’s compound for a birthday celebration for his grandmother. Korri was with us and Renay was following in her car. I was a little nervous to be around the whole family, but Renay’s ass couldn’t wait to “snatch her a nigga” as she called it.

She was driving behind us and texting me the whole ride.

NayNay: You think the whole family is fine?

NayNay: I might want the daddy or the son.

NayNay: Shit, I might want both. You know I’m at that age.

I had to shake my head at her. The girl was a mess.

“Are we there yet, Mr. Devin?” Korri asked from the back seat.

“Almost, lil’ bit.”

“What’s taking so long?”

Devin chuckled. “I live in the country, baby girl.”

“Like on a farm?”

“Nah, not like a farm. We do have a couple of horses though.”

She gasped. “Can I ride one! Please! I’ve never been on a horse.”

“Sure, I’ll take you out there if it’s okay with your mom.”

Korri tapped my shoulder. “Please, Mommy?”

I playfully rolled my eyes. “I guess it’s okay. Devin, you better not let anything happen to my baby.”

He glanced over at me. “I got this, woman. She’s in good hands.”

He turned onto a road lined with trees and a fence. When he told me he lived on a compound, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but as we neared the clearing, I was amazed at the property. Beautiful homes lined the road, and they weren’t little houses either. They were either big two stories or big single levels. Each had a two-car garage and were fenced in. Expensive cars sat in a few driveways along with golf carts.

Some of the property looked like little neighborhoods all their own. When we got to the end of the road, there sat a huge mansion that looked like something straight out of a movie.

“Wow!” Korri said in amazement.

“Wow is right,” I said in agreement.

My phone chimed, and I looked to see that it was Renay.

NayNay: Biiiiitch! This is nice! This how they living?

Me: Girl, this place just told me I’m poor as fuck.
