I chuckled and pulled her in my arms. “I love you so much, Shani, and I know I don’t know everything about you, but I learned a lot just from observing you and being in your space. You have a big heart and will give someone the shirt off your back, especially the ones you love. You’re so caring and protective. I also know that you don’t bullshit around. I swore I was stalking you with how hard I was paying attention to you and your mannerisms.”

She blushed as she looked away.

“So, are you saying you with me, baby? These past two weeks have been torture.”

“I’m with you, Asad. For the record, I knew you were watching me. At first, it worked my nerves. The first incident with Mila was too fresh. Once it wore off, I thought it was flattering. I started paying attention to you too. The way you take care of your son is admirable. You’re a kind, quiet soul. I like that. I don’t like men that call too much attention to themselves. You dress nice and take care of yourself. Did I say how fine you are?”

I smiled, then bit my bottom lip. “Girl, I’m not the one. It’s you. I swear you’re a wet dream come true. Fine as fuck. I miss gracing all these curves with my fingertips.”

I lowered my face closer to hers, and she placed her hands on my cheeks, sliding her fingers through my beard, and pulled methe rest of the way. When my lips touched hers, I knew I didn’t want to ever be separated from her again. Her kiss gave me life. I slid my hand across her cheek to the back of her neck, holding her in place. When she moaned into my mouth, I knew that shit was it. My dick sprang into action without her.

I pulled away from her, and she glanced down to see that my nigga was showing out. She could see him through my damn jeans. After staring into my eyes, she slid her hand over it, showing me that we were on the same wavelength. I wanted to snatch her up by her neck and lower her on my dick. I wasn’t a rough nigga in life, but when it came to sex, I couldn’t help but behave like an animal, especially if I’d been hunting my prey for as long as I had been hunting Ashanni.

“Can we go to your place?”

My eyebrows lifted slightly. “You sure you want to? She’s out on bond.”

“She has Jayceon, though, right?”

“Yeah, but I would rather get a hotel room.”

She looked away from me and nodded. I was pretty sure her dad had told her I’d been laid off. That was why she was looking like she wanted to say something but biting her tongue instead. “I promise I’m good financially. Y’all ain’t the only muthafuckas with money.”

Her eyebrows lifted, and she laughed. “Did my dad tell you that he told me?”

“No, but by your mannerisms, I assumed he did. I’m good, baby. I don’t have to work if I don’t want to. I just liked what I did. My dad has been trying to get me to use the money he blessed me with. I don’t have a choice now.”

“Mister Red balling like that?”

“Yeah, thanks to his grandparents. They left him a fortune. He didn’t know about it for years, so it multiplied exponentially by the time he got a hold of it. Once he got it, he invested some,making him even more money. So yeah. We’re millionaires just like y’all.”

“Well, in that case, let’s get a room at the Four Seasons in Houston where we can get a couples’ massage, and I can fuck you in style.”

I laughed at her foolishness, but I knew she was serious as hell. When I calmed down, I said, “If that’s what you want, that’s what you gon’ get, baby. Whether I’m at the Four Seasons or the back seat of my truck, I’m gon’ fuck you into paralysis. It won’t matter how comfortable you are when you pass out.”

Her eyes rolled and a soft moan left her lips. “So what time do you wanna leave?” she asked.

“Let me get you to your parents’ house so you can pack an overnight bag, then we can head that way now.”

“So will I get a taste at your house? I know you have to stop there before we go.”

She slid her fingertips over her cleavage then slid them between her legs. She was fucking with me, but she didn’t know me well enough in this manner to know not to play those kinds of games. I would embarrass the hell out of her out here at her people’s place of business.

“You can get a taste right here. Don’t fucking tempt me.”

I pulled her to my lap, letting her feel every inch of my erection. Wrapping my arms around her, I started subtly sliding her against it. I pulled her close to me and licked the side of her neck. “He ready for action now. Them people ain’t gon’ give a damn about no fucking line dancing in a minute.”

She quickly stood from my lap and said, “Let me get my purse so we can get the fuck outta here.”

I stood and pulled her back to me, causing her body to crash into mine. A gush of breath left her body from the impact. I kissed her lips and brought my tongue to hers. My hands were trying to go on an excursion of that glorious ass on her back,but I was able to restrain myself. I pulled away and followed her inside. Today couldn’t have gone any better, but tonight was gonna be one for the damn record book.

ASHANNI

“You’re leaving?”Maui asked.

“Yeah,” I said, glancing at Asad’s fine ass.
