“Damn, okay. You want me to go with you?”

“No, I’ll be fine. Plus, I meant what I said yesterday. Us having sex didn’t change anything.”

Atlas stood and made his way into the bathroom. She tossed him the extra toothbrush set she had and quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face before getting in the shower. Her eyes scanned his frame as he took off his boxers. Her mind was telling her to tell him to wait until she finished. However, her pussy was telling her to let him come inside.

Turning her back to him, Sade began to wash her body. He did the same...keeping his hands to himself until she grabbed her yoni wash. Atlas plucked it from her hand and squirted some into his palm. He spread her legs slightly before washing her center, using slow movements and paying extra attention to her swelling clit.

“Atlas, . . . . I really have to go.”

“Then hurry up and come.”

Even if she wanted to hold it off, she couldn’t. Sade erupted into his hand before washing the suds from her body. He lowered to his knees, feasting on her pussy until she came a second and third time.

“I’m going back tomorrow,” Sade said softly to her grandparents. “Someone is going to let me see her. I’ll stop by the bank and get some cash. Maybe that will help.”

“Hopefully, by then, she’ll be awake,” her grandfather, Barron, said.

“I just don’t understand how this happened,” Ava, her grandmother, said. “She’s supposed to be safe there.”

“How safe can you really be in federal prison?” Sade asked.

“Still, someone is going to have to answer for this.” Barron massaged his temples. “The moment she wakes up and can tell us what happened, someone is going to have to pay.”

Silence found them for a while as they watched the twins bounce on the trampoline at Urban Air. They hadn’t shared with them what happened to their mother, but the guilt over the ordeal had all three adults wanting to love on Nila and Mila a little bit more.

“Hey, baby.” Atlas kissed her cheek, and Sade practically leaped out of her skin.

“Atlas! What the hell are you doing here?”

He gave her a smile she used to find sexy as he shook Barron’s hand and hugged Ava.

“I wanted to see my little cousins. You know they are more like my nieces because Adam was like my brother.”

“Yeah, but how did you know where we were? I didn’t tell you where we’d be.”

His smile fell. “Yes, you did.”

“No, I didn’t. I didn’t even know where we were going until we left the hospital and were on our way here.” Pausing, she pushed him away from her grandparents’ earshot as she asked, “Are you...Are you following me?”

“What?” He released a nervous chuckle and rubbed his palms together. “No. I think you’d know if I was following you, Day.”

“Then how did you find us?”

“You share your location with me.”

“I cut it off after what happened at the restaurant.”

His mouth twisted to the side as he processed her words. “I didn’t come here to go back and forth with you. I came to check on you and Imani and see the twins.”

Nodding, Sade eyed him skeptically before pointing to where the twins were. She had no idea how he tracked her down, but she planned to take her phone to the nearest store to have it looked at before doing the same to her car. If Atlas was keeping up with her in any way, he wouldn’t tell her, and she would have to figure out how herself.

Jones

Detective Jones had been watching Sade all day.

Her trip to the phone store.

Her trip to the mechanic.
