“I can already see you overthinking, and I’m telling you to stop. Whatever it is that you two have going on is special. Don’t overcomplicate it with the what ifs. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. Let it flow and don’t worry about anything else.” Normandee was the biggest lover girl out of our group, soshe always encouraged us to let our guards down. I wanted to take her advice and let things be what they were, but the fear was still present.
We continued to chat about our love lives until there was a knock on the door. My nerves swirled through me as I got up from my seat. Soul texted me and let me know he was outside.
“Go get your kiss, boo!” Mandee yelled.
“Don’t get pregnant!” Puma shouted.
“Girl, fuck you.” I tried to slow my strides down so I wouldn’t seem too pressed, but my feet were damn near racing to the door. As soon as I opened it and saw his sexy face, I forgot all about my nerves. I pulled him into the house by his shirt as his arms wrapped around me.
The moment his lips crashed into mine, it felt like fireworks were sounding off around us. He started with a simple peck, but that wasn’t enough for me. Standing on my tiptoes, I deepened the kiss with my hands holding the back of his head. The sound of him groaning pushed me to go a little further as I fed him my tongue. Soul was an excellent kisser, but I expected nothing less from a Scorpio. Everything about his aura screamed dominance and passion.
“Mmm, you’re trying to start some shit. I told you I was coming for a kiss, but you’re gonna fuck around and get this dick,” he whispered against my lips.
“What if that’s what I want?”
“Don’t even play with me like that because you already know how I get down.” I could feel his hard dick through his pants, and my body reacted. He kissed me again as I melted into his arms. When he finally pulled back, I wanted to cry.
“Let me stop playing. I would never disrespect somebody else’s house, and you know I don’t do quickies.” He stepped back, taking another look at my bathing suit. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You’re beautiful. Sometimes I have to take a moment to appreciate it.”
“Look at you trying to gas me up.” I wrapped my arms around his waist and hugged him. His cologne smelled so good, I almost had an orgasm from the contact alone.
“It’s my job to remind you of how gorgeous you are. It’s rare to meet a woman who has a pretty face, body, and aura. I lucked up.” Soul kissed the top of my head while I basked in his presence. This man was truly something special.
“What’s on your agenda for today?” I questioned, noticing he wasn’t dressed in his work clothes.
“I have to meet up with my brother for a meeting, then I have to check on some of our businesses to make sure everything is running smoothly. Then I’ll be ending my night with my woman.”
“Your woman. I like the sound of that.”
“Hell yeah. I made that shit clear. You’re mine and I’m yours. And if any nigga thinks otherwise, he won’t live long enough to do anything about it.” The serious expression on his face made me giggle.
“You always start so romantic, and then it goes left.”
“Aye, I’m a street nigga first and a lover after. I need to make it abundantly clear. We aren’t in a situationship or any of that shit. You are my woman, so I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings.”
“Understood. I can’t wait for you to get done with work today. I just saw you this morning, and I already miss you. What are you doing to me?”
“I don’t know, honestly. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. I lowkey feel like your ass is trying to love bomb me or some shit. You’ve got me all out of character with these feelings and shit.” I laughed as I pushed him away.
“Love bomb? I can’t believe you said that. If anything, you’re the one love bombing me, not the other way around.”
“Man, I’m telling you. I almost said some shit I couldn’t take back while we were fucking last night. This shit is crazy.”
“If it isn’t the two love birds. I see you, bro!” Puma’s voice interrupted our moment.
“Don’t start your shit. I have to deal with your dumb ass nigga every day,” Soul retorted.
“First of all, don’t talk about my man. I was telling my friend how I feel left out. You snatched her up behind my back and didn’t say anything.”
“Aye, what can I say? I wasn’t about to miss out on my blessings. What’s up with you though? You good?” Soul probed, pulling her into a hug. He stepped back to rub her belly.
“I’m good. Patiently waiting for this baby to finish baking,” Puma replied, rubbing her cute little belly.
“Naw, don’t rush my niece. She needs more time to bake. The last thing we need is for her to come out early and funny looking like her daddy,” Soul teased.
“Boy, fuck you. My man is sexy as hell. You need to get your eyes checked.”
