When he slid into the seat, he looked at me with a smile. I shook my head because I take it no one had ever done that for him before but my mother always taught me that if a man opens the door for you, that’s part of him treating you like the queen you are, which means I should treat him like a King.
I think that’s where me and Bryce went wrong, we stopped doing the shit we used to do to get one another. We became complacent, and we stopped appreciating the little things. I wished we would have caught those things before he tarnished our vows, but it was too late now, I would never trust him again.
“No woman has ever done that before,” he confirmed my suspicions.
“Sounds like to me you haven’t been dealing with women then.” I searched his eyes for what he was feeling, and he didn’t hide it. This man was smitten with me, and I, him.
“I guess it’s my time.” he smiled and turned up the sounds of John Legend as he whipped in and out of traffic.
The ride was so smooth that I felt myself slipping away from reality for a while. Between the smoothness of the ride and the aura of him, I was in a place of peace that I didn’t want to come down from.
I never even realized that we had left the city limits, and was heading north on the highway until he got off of an exit. The road was dark and winding, and I looked over at him, and he was focused on the road. I took the time to study the contour of his face and his masculine jawline, the way he bites down on his back teeth when he’s concentrating. Everything about this man was sexy and I wanted him, was he what I needed I didn’t know but despite my reservations I was go with the flow.
“We’re here.” we pulled up to a dock at the end of the dark road, the dock was lit up with candlelight and so was the boat that had Sharp written on the side of it.
“You did this for me?” I was in awe at the set up, I could see the table with platers on it. I smile at the thought of him planning all of this for me.
“Well I had the shit done, if I would’ve done it everything would’ve been cold.” What he said made sense but I was kinda bummed that he didn’t do it but I guess it was the thought that counts. “If it makes you feel any better I paid a pretty fucking penny to make this shit happen.” The smirk that was plastered on his face caused one to appear on mine.
“It’s not always about money Lucas.”
“Again that’s a first for me.” He chuckled and I slapped his shoulder. “No seriously every woman I ever dated had money on the brain, a nigga really lucked up this time.”
I smiled and followed him to the boat where he helped me across, like the gentleman that he was. He pulled out my chair and I sat down. My eyes surveyed the area and we were secluded, it was serene and beautiful even in the dark.
The décor of the boat was amazing, everything was a cream color lined in gold. The raft that hung on the side of the opening that I was sure led to the bottom of the boat also said Sharp.
“God this is beautiful.” I beamed.
“This is my dad’s pride and joy.” Lucas chuckled. “Sometimes I think he loves this thing more than he loves us.”
“Well it’s beautiful.” I took another look around and then focused on him.
“It’s not as beautiful as you.” I could feel my cheeks heat up, the butterflies started swarming in my belly. Whatever this man was doing to me I liked it.
“Corny ass,” I said, and we both laughed.
The conversation seemed to flow from there, everything seemed so effortless. I really enjoyed his company.
Dinner consisted of steak and huge butterfly shrimp cooked to perfection. I don’t know where his cook was, but I wished I could tell him thank you.
“Your husband, tell me about him. I know he cheated, but there has to be more of a reason that you ready to throw it all away just like that.” He snapped his fingers.
“Honestly, we forgot to love each other.” I didn’t plan on talking about Bryce, but I guess he deserved some kind of explanation on our situation seeing as though he keeps getting thrown into it. “Things have been stale between us for a while. When he cheated it was more of an out for the both of us he just had a change of heart after the sin was committed. I tried to forgive him, but the fact he continued to sleep with her and carried on in a relationship for a year crossed the line for me. I’m not that chick to stick around just for the sake of having a man.”
“Do you still love him?”
“I won’t sit and lie and say that everything I ever felt for him was gone because that would be a lie. I was with that man for over 12 years, I took vows with him. So the answer to your question, yes I still have love for him how could I not, is that enough for me to go back?” My eyes searched his to make sure I had his undivided attention when I knew I did I gave him what he was looking for. “Hell No!”
“I believe you.” Was his response. He took the napkin and wiped his mouth, then sat back in the chair he was sitting in.
“I don’t want to talk about Bryce anymore, he’s caused enough trouble in my life, and I’m over it.”
“Sounds good to me, I’m just trying to make sure your heads in the right place.” He threw back the shot that was in his hand. “Tell me what you want from me?”
I was taken aback by his question because no one had ever asked me anything like that. I didn’t quite know how to answer that question, so I said the first thing that came to mind.
“Honesty!”
“Simple enough.”
“What do you expect from me?” I asked in return.
“Loyalty!”
“Simple enough.” I mocked him, and he smiled.
“I’m really feeling you, you got me doing shit I would never do. This shit, he waved his hand around, “Nah I don’t do this.”
“Well let me show you just how appreciative I am.”
Sliding my chair back and slowly stalking over to where he was sitting, I straddled his lap. My arms encircled his neck, and my lips explored his.
Lucas made me feel bold and alive. So when I started to slowly grind on his lap, it felt natural. If took no time for his member to come to its full potential. Leaning down and kissing his lips put a fire under me instantly soaking the thong I had on.
“You starting something Ocean.” His warm breath tickled my ear causing me to pick up the pace of my grinding. “Get up and take these fucking shorts off.” His tone was low and demanding just the way I liked it. I followed his direction while he lifted himself to free his monster.
I resumed my place on his lap, lifting just a little I placed the head of his dick at my opening and slowly slid down. That became my favorite place as I slowly rocked back and forth. For the rest of the night, we explored each other both physically and emotionally.
I could get used to this.
River
It was already after one and I had to chalk it up to the fact that Ocean was laid up with Lucas and wasn’t coming. My co-workers were past drunk, and I was ready to go.
A part of me wanted to run into Sony, and then a part of me knew that this wasn’t something I should be worried about. He couldn’t even fuck with me in public why should I waste my time and good loving on someone like him.
He was another Michael, and I be damned if I go through that shit again. Speaking of his ass, he wasn’t stopping with his antics, this fool even called my mama. He should’ve known that that shit wouldn’t work, I was my own woman and made my own decisions.
“Damn shawty, you the finest thing in this bitch.” I whipped around to cuss this nigga the fuck out, but my voice got caught in my throat as I took in his appearance.
He was the smoothest shade of chocolate I had ever seen, he had slanted eyes that gave off a sneaky vibe but still sexy at the same time. His athletic build made the simple jeans and black button up look sexier than it should’ve been.
A smile spread across his face when he noticed I was checking him out. I immediately noticed his straight white teeth, the nigga was fine as fuck. He would be a great distraction wit
h all this dumb shit these niggas trying to bring into my life.
“Hi!” Was all I was able to get out. He leaned down so that his mouth was near my ear. No nigga not there, that’s my spot! Damn it River get right!
“Just know I had the same reaction when I saw you walk through that door a couple hours ago. I had to get my shit together before I came at you.” The mint flavored gum he chewed tickled my nostrils, and I was happy that he didn’t smell like liquor or sweat from partying.
“I’m River.” I stuck my hand out, and he grabbed it bringing it to his mouth and kissing the back of it. I smirked at his small advances, it was like he wasn’t really trying but everything was working.
“Lore.” He winked.
“Ohhhhh I like that, it sounds mysterious,” I pulled my hand back from his grip and placed it on my hip. This nigga was taking me out of my character, had me acting all giddy and shit.
“Let me buy you a drink.” He leaned down and said to me over the music. I nodded my head, the music was loud, and I didn’t want to keep having to get close to him to talk.
He took possession of my hand again and led me to the bar. Before I could get my left ass cheek on the stool Lore was being pulled away from me by a very pissed off Sony. I was confused at why he was so pissed especially when I looked behind him, and his bitch was there with a mug on her long ass face.
“Yo, you dismissed my nigga,” Sony yelled over the music. Lore looked from him to me and took a step back from me. I looked at him incredulously, I know his ass wasn’t scared. There went the attraction that I felt for him.
“You sure are doing a lot for your friend.” His bitch butted in with her aggravating ass voice. She was still on this friend shit, she knew better, she had to. “You gotta chill with this Sony, she’s not a good look for you. I mean you got me.” She spun around, and I laughed. This bitch was a joke to me.
“Look if Sony wants someone that looks like they could start a fire if they rub their legs together that’s on him.” I shrugged my shoulders and Lore laughed. Sony snapped his head in his direction.
“Muthafucka why you still here?” He yelled. “Don’t make me repeat myself.” His demeanor was cold and rigid. I could see the anger floating around in his eyes, but he had no reason to be upset when he’s standing there with Olive Oyl.
“I’m out.” I turned to walk away, and Sony snatched me up.
“Nah you staying right here.” He grabbed my arm. Lore looked from me to Sony then back to me. After nodding his head, he turned to walk off. Ain’t that a bitch.
“Sony I don’t have time for your bipolar ass.” I tried to walk away. “We’re friends remember?”
He jerked away from Olive Oyl and invaded my personal space with the most handsome mug I’d ever seen on his face. I wanted to laugh, but the look he was giving me prevented me from doing that.
“You can keep all that jazzy shit cause it don’t mean shit!” His tone was laced with anger and his demeanor showed just how much. “Stay the fuck away from him.”
“You are not my man, and you don’t tell me what the fuck I can or can not do, who I can or cannot see Sony you got me fucked up.” I was heated. I was sick of this back and forth with him and we ain’t even been fucking with each other that long. I needed to end this shit, it wasn’t good enough for me.
“As good as your pussy is, this has nothing to do with you. That nigga foul stay the fuck away from him.” He warned with a menacing grimace on his face.
“Wait, so you lied?”
“Bitch are you stupid or what, this nigga had his tongue so far up my pussy I started secreting his saliva.” Sony’s surprised expression was replaced with one of humor as he belted out a deep and hearty laugh in which I followed suit.
“You wild as fuck River.”
“So you’re choosing this fat bitch over me?” She yelled loud enough to gain a small audience. Without thinking, I cocked back and slapped the shit out of her. I was over her and her smart ass comments. The bitch had it coming.
Security rushed us and snatched me up real quick and started dragging me to the door. I kicked and swung on them as they tried their best to get me out of the club.
I glanced in the direction I had come from, and Sony was standing there watching them drag me out of the club, and that toothpick had a stupid smirk on her face that I wanted to slap off.
Right then and there I vowed to never speak to him again. That was the second time he dissed me for that bitch, and I was done with him.
“Yo get ya fucking hands off of her.” I heard once we were outside. “She’s with me.” I looked up into Lore’s eyes.
Reluctantly they released me, and I pushed the one closest to me. I rolled my eyes at Lore and headed in the opposite direction.
“Aye hold up.”
“Man I ain’t got time for niggas that take orders from that asshole.” I went searching for my car, even pulled my keys out to hit my unlock button, but then I realized that I didn’t drive. I rode with my coworker whom I lost in the crowd a while ago. I pulled my phone out of my wristlet and shot her a text that I was getting an Uber.
Lore’s presence was pissing me off and I wanted him to get the fuck away from me. I was mad and my feelings were hurt, my feelings for Sony’s bitch ass had started to grow more than I knew. Seeing him with her hurt and the fact that he let her constantly disrespect me hurt even worse. Don’t get me wrong I could hold my own in any situation but I would’ve liked to see him fight for me.
“Look he’s my boss and for now I gotta do what I gotta do but all that’s about to change.”
“Well when it do you let me know.” I went to my Uber app to order an Uber but he grabbed my phone out of my hands. “Okay I’m trying to give you some slack cause you just got played but you doing the most right now.” I glared at him. “Can I have my phone?”
He was embarrassed that I kept bring up how Sony played him, I didn’t give a fuck though. He was in my space it wasn’t the other way around. And more than once I’ve asked him to back the fuck up so this shit was on him.
“You’re feisty I like that, let me take you home.” His tongue slid across his thick lips and my pussy started playing tricks on me.
“No thanks.” I snatched my phone from him and ordered my Uber. All of a sudden I heard a gunshot that caused me to duck and cover my head. Lore ducked behind the car and left my ass in the middle of the parking lot like a sitting duck, strike two!
No other shots were fired besides the one that I heard originally, so I slowly looked around, Lore was nowhere in sight but I did meet the eyes of Sony. He had this deranged look in his eyes, I needed to get the fuck away from him and fast.
He never said a word he just stood there watching me like a fucking creep. My phone alerted me that my Uber was two minutes away and I was thankful. When it pulled up I hurried up and got in the car and told the guy to pull off. What the fuck had I gotten myself into?
Lucas
“Yo that shit wild as fuck, you correct that nigga?” I listened as Sony told me about his run in with Lore.
“I told that nigga to fall back but he didn’t listen now I’ma be at his head.” Me and Sony was outside the jail waiting to go and see Cherice he was pissed at the shit that went down with him and River a week ago.
“How you gone be mad when you let them carry her out of the club like that?” I shook my head at that nigga. “Ain’t nobody want no nigga that can’t protect them.
“She needed to be taught a lesson for her smart ass mouth.”
“Yeah but is that shit hurting you or her?” I glanced at him and he looked up into the sky thinking about what I just said.
“Whatever nigga.” He waved me off and I chuckled.
My mind drifted to Ocean and the time we’ve been spending together. Since the night at the boat a week ago we’ve been stuck to each other like fucking glue. Only time I go home is to change clothes or pack some.
Young has been crashing at pops for the last week or so b
ecause he didn’t want to be in the house around Kelsi, the pregnancy that she’s been screaming about got her acting foolish. I had no doubt in my mind that the baby she was carrying wasn’t mine but I would let her hang herself before it was all said and done.
I had been fucking the shit out of Ocean, raw and reckless. I couldn’t help wanting to feel the inside of her and I wasn’t worried about the consequences because it wouldn’t be a negative thing.
It was selfish of me to think like that, but I didn’t give a damn. I had a few things to wrap up and then I was gonna rock with her heavy. She had a nigga’s nose wide open. Our chemistry was wild, and I wasn’t trying to give that up.
“That nigga Lore gotta go,” Sony said out of the blue looking up from his phone. “Not even about River, he been fucking up the counts. I had Javi going behind him every time and shit ain’t adding up. Said its counterfeit bills beefing up the count.”
“You got proof its him?” I asked.
“Working on that.” He turned to look at me with a smile on his face. “Chill out Kraft!”
I had to shake off the feeling to kill someone. Whenever that feeling took over, I couldn’t help wanting to hurt someone. I had been like that since I was small, that’s why my dad called me Kraft. I was good with my hands.
“Find out let me know!”
“Aight bet, let’s go holla at sis so we can go check this shit out.”
I agreed, Cherice was still acting stupid about us helping her with this case. We needed to find out what happened so we can see if we had a chance to get her out if this. Her first court date was coming up, and we were still in the blind.
Heading in the direction of the jailhouse someone caught my attention, the smug look on his face was pissing me off, but I was trying to not let his antics affect me.
“Can I speak to you for a minute?”
“The fuck for?”
“I mean you’re fucking my wife the least you can do is give me a second of your time.” this son of a bitch was itching to catch a fucking bullet.
“Yo Sony give me a minute with this bitch ass nigga,” I looked him up and down like he was beneath me. “If you hear gunshots just call my lawyer so he can get me off.” Sony laughed and headed in the jail to sign us in. I was positive this wouldn’t last long.
