Maui, Aunt Aspen, and the twins had come along with my mama and me to enjoy brunch at Aunt Jen and Aunt Chrissy’s diner. This was her first time really getting out and being around everyone. We’d been spending quite a bit of time together the past two weeks while I worked through my issues with Asad and his baby mama. I wanted to be totally sure I was ready to give this shit another shot.
I didn’t want to hop back in too quickly and then she does something else that could have me cussing his ass out and leaving him all over again. I needed to get my mind right. Talking to my daddy always helped. I talked to my mama too. She was just as head strong as I was. She said when Daddy scooped her up and finally made her his, she was beyond ready. Just like us, they’d talked and were friends for a year almost before Daddy officially made her his.
She held out sexually, too, though. I didn’t know how she did that shit, but she did. When they finally stopped playing, she said she was all in, so it was easy to let him lead. She deducedthat my problem was that I wasn’t all in. I was expecting shit to go wrong. I was predicting a valid crash out and had my guard up because of that. After thinking about what she said, I realized she was right. I was definitely expecting shit to pop off, and I refused to let that ho get the upper hand.
Maui glanced around me and saw Asad standing near the door, waiting for me. She smiled slightly. “I’m glad y’all were able to work things out.”
“Me too,” I said, realizing she didn’t sound as glad as she said she was.
I knew she was thinking about her situation. Uncle Storm was trying, but he hadn’t fully let go yet. He’d finally stopped trying to take her everywhere she wanted to go. I felt bad for her, but I couldn’t mope around because of that. I had a life to live too. I kissed my mama’s and Aunt Aspen’s cheeks and let them know I was leaving. When my mama saw Asad, she said, “Hell yeah, baby. Go get your man.”
I smiled big and waved at the twins, then made my way back to him. He waved at my mama, then followed me out the door. After getting to his truck, he stood behind me, nearly pinning me against it. His dick was begging to slide into greatness, and I was so damn close to letting him lift this skirt up and have a taste. He licked the back of my neck and said in my ear, “Fuck, baby. I can’t wait to taste you.”
“I can’t wait to let you.”
He took a step back and opened the door for me. When I saw SS, Ace, and PJ turn in the lot, I was grateful we were leaving. Those niggas looked like they were bringing trouble with them. I wanted no parts of that shit. When Asad joined me inside, he said, “Look like some shit finna pop off. You wanna stay and see what’s going on?”
“Hell naw. Take me far away from here,” I said.
I was tired of letting other people’s drama dictate what I did. If SS had gone to Liberty and started shit with Mythic again, I knew I would end up staying to comfort Maui. She had the twins there and Milana was on her way. I couldn’t keep pushing Asad to the back burner. Plus, I was horny as fuck. Ain’t nothing was gon’ get in the way of me swallowing his dick tonight. I needed to feel the love he confessed he had for me two weeks ago.
He took off for my parents’ house. My daddy wasn’t home. I wasn’t sure where he’d gone, but I almost didn’t care. He was probably hitting up his supplier. I quickly packed a bag, because I didn’t want Asad waiting too long. When I saw Aunt Tiffany fly by on my way out, I hurriedly made my way to Asad’s truck. He was standing there waiting for me. The minute he opened that door, I hopped in.
Whatever was happening, that shit didn’t have a thing to do with me. I was ready to get away for a while. He got in and asked, “You okay?”
“Yes. I just want to get out of here before somebody stops us from making a clean get away.”
He chuckled slightly, then took off out of the driveway and hit the back way through the neighborhood instead of going down Highway 365. When he turned by my daddy’s liquor store, and I saw him leaving the building, I had him slow down so he wouldn’t see me. I couldn’t miss out on everything Asad promised me. Once my dad turned on Highway 90, we made a clean break on 90, heading west, the opposite direction.
I took a deep breath and reached for Asad’s hand. I could see him glance at me, then lift my hand and kiss it. I knew that if I knew what was going on, I would want to stay and be there for whoever. It was my time right now. I couldn’t think about anyone else. Just Ashanni Lynette Henderson.
When we got to the Four Seasons, I couldn’t help but be in awe. It was crazy that we all had more money than we knew what to do with but didn’t typically engage in frivolous spending. I would typically fuck around in the back seat of a vehicle before dropping a grand on a nice hotel. That just didn’t make sense to me. But here we were, enjoying a luxury we could absolutely afford. Even if my house was built, I knew we would have gotten interrupted today.
At his house, we knew there was a possibility we would be interrupted there as well. That bitch was still on the loose, and until she was subdued, we would just have to be careful about preserving our peace when we could. Today was special, and I didn’t want anything to get in the way of that. I dropped my overnight bag on the couch in the room and looked around.
Asad slid his arms around my waist from the back, and I closed my eyes, relishing in what I felt for and from him. He lowered his head and kissed my neck, and I nearly melted to the floor. When we’d gotten to his house, he made me “keep my hot ass” in the truck. Those were his words. He said had I gotten out, we would have been fucking, per usual. His first time back inside my walls, he wanted to be making love to me, showing me how much I meant to him. So I kept my hot ass in the truck, not without pouting though.
I was definitely hot and ready, but I knew he wanted us to take our time. It was only five o’clock. We had all evening and night to partake of each other. He pulled away from me and started some music by Vedo on his phone, then went to the bathroom and started water running. He came back for his bag and disappeared back inside.
Just as I was about to pull my shirt over my head, he yelled, “Leave your clothes on.”
I rolled my eyes. I swore he thought he knew me. I huffed and sat on the side of the bed. “Can I take my shoes off, nigga?”
He chuckled but didn’t respond to me. A smile graced my face, and I bit my bottom lip just thinking about the festivities ahead. I had never been romanced in this way, and I was already feeling soft and vulnerable. I had barely experienced a thing yet. When Asad came out of the bathroom, he was shirtless and wore white boxer briefs.Lord have mercy.His erection was showing the fuck off, causing my temperature to rise significantly.
He didn’t say a word as he approached. His face adorned a slight frown, and I knew I was in trouble. When he reached me, he grabbed my hand, pulling me from the bed to a standing position. He lifted my arm and slowly spun me around. I could imagine he was scanning my body and calculating the route he would take to euphoria. Once I was facing him again, he licked his lips then led me to the bathroom.
The tub was filled with rose petals floating in the water. It smelled like honey though. It was possibly the candles that gave off that scent. He had two big ones on the vanity and small t-lights around the tub. I closed my eyes, trying to subdue my emotions. This was beautiful. When “Thinkin’ About You” started to play, I couldn’t stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. The words were penetrating my being, and it was like I could imagine him saying all those things to me.
When I felt something cool on my face, I realized he was cleaning the makeup off. I opened my eyes when he got to my cheeks and stared into his. I swore I got completely lost until he carefully removed my lashes. The way he was taking care of me had me feeling the softest I’d ever felt. He cleaned my eyes then the rest of my face. After he was done and had thrown the wipes in the trash, he softly kissed my lips.
He turned around and got a hair clip from the vanity to pin my hair up, then pulled my shirt over my head. As he pulled my bra strap off my shoulder, he kissed me there, then did the same to the other side. I thought he would spin me around to unfasten it, but he didn’t. He leaned over and placed kissed along my shoulder, neck, and jaw line as his hands slid along my ribcage to my back. He unfastened my bra, then took a step away from me to pull it off my arms, letting it fall to the floor.
I wanted to speed this process along, but I knew if I let him do this his way, I would never forget it. His gaze had my clit on edge. My blinks were so fucking slow. The passion he was exuding was embodying me and making me feel so sensual. He stretched out the waistband of my skirt and squatted while pulling it down my legs. Slowly spinning me around, he placed kisses on my legs, then each of my ass cheeks.
He still hadn’t said a word and neither had I. This moment didn’t even call for them. We both knew what this was between us. Asad stood and turned me to face him. His hands again slid around me and cupped my ass cheeks. My head dropped back involuntarily, and my lips parted. I was unable to quench the moan that escaped me as he licked from the base of my neck to my jawline. Sliding his hands in the band of my thong, he pulled it off and sensually kissed down my body, stopping to lick the tattoo between my breasts.
When I stepped out of them and he stood again, I slid my hands in his waistband as well. I lightly kissed his chest then licked each nipple as he gripped my hair, pulling my head back. He quickly bit his bottom lip, then kissed me so sloppily slow. His saliva was rolling down my chin and neck, and he licked it all up, causing my body to shudder.
