Exposed

  “Sorry I’m late, but if y’all weren’t listening, let me tell you, the show tonight was off the hook! Matter fact, let me introduce the rest of y’all to the hostess with the mostess, Ms. Nikki Truth.”

  I waved and took the chair at the far end.

  The other he/she I didn’t know started squirming in his seat.“Oooh! Girlfriend, your show is the bomb! I never miss it.”

  Mercedes gave a rude snort. “She ain’t lying. You’ve even answered her calls a few times.”

  I gave the one with the blond weave a long look. “Oh, yeah? When did you call?”

  She looked uncomfortable.“Last month.”

  Mercedes filled in the details. “Girlfriend, here was Oasis. She called telling you her man insisted on the cat sleeping in the bed with them.”

  Laughing, I nodded my head. “Oh, yeah, I remember. I told you to tell him to get rid of the cat or you were leaving his ass.”

  “Yeah, and the next day he packed his shit and left,” Oasis announced with disgust.

  “Damn. I’m sorry.”

  “Wasn’t your fault,” she said, and made an exaggerated show of fanning herself.“I think that cat was licking a lot more than just his paws under those covers.”

  The table roared with laughter. Tristan signaled for a waiter and we both ordered a martini. The deejay was rocking some old school. I had gotten my drink and was having fun with the others when I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I looked up, and it was a young slender woman with her head shaved bald and jeans hanging low on her hips.

  “Yo, ma, you wanna dance?”

  I looked up into the most amazing brown eyes I’d seen in a long time. Her lashes were naturally long and incredibly thick. Mascara had nothing to do with it. I would give anything to have eyes like that. I don’t know how long I stared at her before I finally shook my head. “Nah, boo. I’m strictly dickly.”

  The look she gave me rang loud and clear. She could do anything a man could do, only better. “Yo, don’t knock it till you try it.”

  I smiled. “Not knocking it. I just prefer my dick to be attached, not strapped on.”

  “A’ight, ma. If you change your mind, you know where to find me.”With a nod of her head, she turned on the soles of her Air Force Ones.

  I watched her walk away and had to admit she had a hell of a swagger that made my nipples tighten. Damn, had it been that long since I had some?

  I raised my hand and quickly ordered another drink. Yep, Tristan was right. I needed some dick—quick!
