Page 78 of Devanté
“Oh my god,” she said again, rubbing her forehead. “Why didn’t I notice this before? Perez said he was glad I was on his side and not working against him. He said if I left, all the clients would go with me. He’s right.”
“You thinking what I’m thinking?” I smirked, lacing our fingers together. I wanted to see if our best friend telepathy was still intact.
We locked eyes and said in unison, “Remington Marketing.” Something sparked between us. It was thicker than lust and just as deep as love. Our connection was back.
“I have goosebumps,” she told me, holding out her arm. I skimmed my fingers over her skin then looked at her. This time I was the one in awe. “Do you think I could step out on my own, Devanté?”
“No. I think it’s a horrible idea.” I kept my face straight until she sucked her teeth and nudged me with her elbow. “Of course you can do it. I’ll be your first client.”
“What? Imperial uses in-house marketing for its models under contract.”
“True…I’ve been a free agent for three years though, Blake. I choose to work with Imperial monthly. I haven’t felt the need to strike out on my own until I was inspired by an up and coming marketing and branding genius. She can take my career and image to new heights. Think I should give her a try?”
“I love you so much, Jodeci.” She held my face, pressing her warm palms against my cheeks. “Kiss me?”
“Horrible idea…” I smiled against her mouth then swept my tongue along her bottom lip before tasting her fully. I sucked on her full lips and licked into the corners of her mouth before nibbling on her tongue.
Blake tossed a leg over me and climbed into my lap, straddling me. My cock stiffened in direct response to her heat and pressure. She felt so good on top of me. I knew if I didn’t stop our momentum, we’d end up fucking again and she’d be even later to her own party. I still had to go get dressed too.
“Baby, we’re already twenty minutes late,” I said between kisses. I kept my hands on her waist because there was no saving me if I pushed under her dress and gripped her ass.
“Shit. You’re right.” She caught her breath then peered down at me. “You shouldn’t be so addictive. We waited all these years to fuck and now I feel like I can’t breathe unless you’re inside of me.” Her voice was husky and full of lust and need.
“You can’t say shit like that.” I ran my thumb along her bottom lip then tugged on it a little. “You know what you do to me.”
“I know,” she smiled a little, tipping her head to the side. “I don’t know how I never saw it before.”
“Shit, me either. I stared at you so much when we were little. I used to think…how the hell did God make someone so perfect and how can I make her mine?”
“You seriously didn’t have a girlfriend for eight years, Devanté? You say the sweetest things.”
“I say the sweetest things toyou,” I said tapping the tip of her nose. “I fucked the other girls.”
“You’ve been fucking me all day.”
“That’s different,” I told her. She stood up and smoothed her dress out.
“How?”
“I wasn’t fucking you, Blake. I was giving you my soul.”
“It felt like you were snatching mine in the process.” We laughed for a few seconds then I checked my watch.
“Okay, let’s go. I still have to sneak into my suite and get dressed.” When Noa told me Blake’s party would be at the Ritz, I booked a room there.
“Damn shame you have to sneak into the hotel. How am I supposed to fight off all the bitches who throw themselves at you?”
“And why would you have to fight them off?” I asked as we headed downstairs.
“Because you’re my man. Mine.” Those words stopped me in my tracks. I already knew we belonged together but to hear her say it and claim me with as much vigor as I claimed her was an amazing feeling.
“Am I your man?” I leaned against the wall at the foot of the stairs and watched her walk down.
“Yes. Mine.” She tugged on my shirt until my lips were level with hers then she bit my bottom lip.
“Oh, baby trust me, if we’re officially doing this relationship thing you won’t have to fight them off. No woman on this earth could pull me away from you, Blake Remington.” I meant that with every atom and cell in my body too. I waited forever to get Blake. Nobody could make me fuck it up.
