Page 39 of Breeze and Melodie

“Can you be less gentle?”

The corners of his mouth curled into a sexy smile. “Oh, you think you ready for some rough shit?”

“I know I am. All I need is for my man to cooperate.”

His hand left my neck, and he used it to grip my other ass cheek as he pressed his body against mine. I felt his erection on my stomach, which caused me to smile.

“Now you got my dick hard. Be ready when I get home, and I don’t wanna hear, ‘it’s too much,’ ‘slow down,’ ‘I can’t take it.’”

“Don’t worry. You won’t. I can’t?—”

“Are you Melodie?” A woman’s voice interrupted me.

Breeze released me before turning around, standing beside me, and putting his arm over my shoulders.

“Who’s asking?” Breeze responded for me.

“I’m umm, I’m Arielle.”

I smiled uncomfortably, my lips tightly closed, waiting for her to give us more information, but she remained quiet.

“Should I know you?” I finally asked.

“Oh, umm. I thought you were aware of me. Sean and I were dating. He said you broke up with him when you found out about us.”

“Is that what he told you?” She nodded. “Well, he lied to you. I had no idea you existed. Is there anything else?”

“Yes. Umm, have you seen him?”

“Why would I see him? He’s no longer my man. As you can see, I’ve moved on.”

“It’s just, . . . it’s been about two months since I last saw him. I’ve gone to his apartment and the new gym he was transferred to. No one has seen him.”

I didn’t know Sean had been transferred to another gym, but since he was no longer my man, it wasn’t something I should’ve known.

“Well, unfortunately for you, I haven’t seen him either. He probably has another girlfriend and ghosted you. Sorry I can’t be more help.”

Breeze and I stepped away from my car so he could open the door.

“Wait. Do you have any contact information for his family?”

“Honestly, I don’t. Sean didn’t talk much about his family, except to say they were estranged. Have you talked to his friends?”

“I never met any of his friends.”

I frowned. “Are you sure you were his girlfriend?”

“Yes. We’d just found out I was pregnant, and I need his help.”

Wow! I certainly dodged a bullet with Sean. I couldn’t believe he’d abandon this woman and their baby.

“Congratulations, but I’ve told you all I know. Hopefully, he shows up soon.”

“Do you have any contact info for any of his friends?”

“No. I honestly only remember a friend named Dak. I don’t know his last name or have any contact info. Good luck.”

I hadn’t seen or heard from Sean since he attacked me. In the back of my mind, I thought Breeze might have killed him, but I hadn’t come right out and asked him. I didn’t care enough to inquire.
