While Cashmere was in the hospital, Tamia couldn’t help but feel responsible for her accident. Even though no one blamed her for what happened to her sisters, Tamia blamed herself for not being woman enough to set her mother straight and try to put a stop to the madness. Besides the daily guilt trip she had sent herself on for the past month, she was still dealing with the betrayal of her mother. Tamia put on a brave face in front of her family and Nick, but nobody knew how she cried herself to sleep at night from her sisters’ accidents and the rest of her issues she was secretly dealing with.
Tamia, Cash, Ryan and Tiffany were standing in the backyard a few feet away from the men who were engaged in a heated sports conversation. The women were planning a spa day for the following weekend when Tamia noticed Baylynn wasn’t out there with them. Excusing herself from the circle, she went inside to look for her sister and found her out front with a red cup in her hand.
“Hey, sissy. What you doing out here by yourself?” Tamia sat on the step next to Baylynn.
“I’m not in the mood to celebrate, Mia. I’m happy that Cash is home and everythin’, but I don’t feel like I’m one of family just yet.” She took a big gulp from her cup.
“I mean, I know it’s going to take some getting used to, but you have to be willing to try, Bay. Maybe you’ll feel better if we all get together to talk about the things that have been bothering us since we found out we’re related. I know I have a few things I need to confess to you and Cash.” Tamia gave her a small smile.
“That’ll be cool, but I just want it to be me, you and Cash. I don’t want our parents around for this. I’m sure they’re dealin’ with enough themselves.”
“You’re right about that. Did Manny tell you that him and the rest of the guys are going to have a talk with Ryan’s boyfriend?”
“We haven’t done too much talkin’ since I told him how I knew Nysir.” Baylynn shook her head.
“Wait a minute, you know Ryan’s man?” she asked, confused.
“Yeah. I used to fuck him for money,” Baylynn harshly admitted.
Tamia stared at her sister with wide eyes for a moment before responding.
“Damn, Bay.”
“I know. It’s been two days and he hasn’t said a word to me. He spends all of his time, downstairs, watchin’ TV. He even sleeps on the couch.” Baylynn downed the rest of her drink.
“Don’t beat yourself up about this. He’ll come to terms with this.” Tamia tried to cheer her sister up.
“How can he come to terms with this and I haven’t, Tamia? I’m tryin’ to turn my life around, but my past always comes back to haunt me, remindin’ me of the person I used to be. I just want it to end and move on with my life.”
“We all have a past, Baylynn. All you can do is live in your truth, but first, you have to discover what it is and if you’re not comfortable with your truth, all you can do is change it, sis.”
Baylynn looked at her sister and gave her a small smile. They sat in silence for a few moments until the front door opened. Manny, Randall, Tiffany and Renee walked outside and Tamia and Baylynn stood up to let them out. Tamia hugged her sister and the others before they headed to their cars. She watched them until they drove out of the driveway, and when their cars were out of sight, she went back inside.
Tamia walked inside the kitchen where Nick was making a to-go plate and she decided to make one as well. After they fixed their plates and placed them in plastic bags, the couple said their goodbyes to the newlyweds, Cassandra, Charlotte and the kids. Ryan said her goodbyes to the family as well and they all left out together. Tamia told Ryan to text her the information to the spa they were meeting up at before they got in their vehicles and drove off.
As Nick drove down the expressway, Wale’s “The Trip” came through the speakers of the car and Tamia placed her hand on his thigh, sliding it over to his dick, massaging it through his jeans. She felt the bulge in his pants getting bigger and her juices began to flow as she continued to massage it.
“If you ain’t gonna top me off while I’m drivin’, then you need to chill until we get to the crib.” Nick glanced over at her with a smirk on his face.
With a smirk on her face as well, Tamia unzipped his jeans, freeing his thick, long shaft. Tamia licked her lips at the sight of it before planting her knees in the passenger seat and inserting his dick into her mouth.
“Fuck, Tamia!” Nick groaned from the warmth of her mouth.
The liquor she had been drinking throughout the party had kicked in and brought out the freak in Tamia. She felt like a pro as she pushed his manhood to the back of her throat without gagging as she sucked his dick sloppily. The way Nick cursed and moaned let her know she was doing a hell of a job and the load he shot into her mouth minutes later was the result of her good work. Tamia swallowed every drop and sat back in her chair like nothing had happened.
“Damn, girl! I guess ya ass done makin’ a nigga wait, huh?”
“I’ve made you wait long enough, and I’m ready for everything you want to give me.” She bit her bottom lip.
“Say no more.”
Nick weaved in and out of traffic, making it to his condo in fifteen minutes. Taking the elevator to his floor, they tongued each other down the entire way. When the doors opened, they got off, rushed to the front door, and as soon as they were inside, Tamia didn’t hesitate ripping Nick’s clothes off and he did the same to hers. Bending Tamia over in the middle of the floor, he slowly inserted his dick deep inside her tight, wet walls.
“You tight as fuck!” he hissed as he stroked her slowly.
Tamia moaned as she tried her best to hold her balance. Gripping her ankles, Tamia took everything Nick was giving her, and with each stroke, it made her fall in love. The men she’d slept with were always gentle with lovemaking and treated her like a fragile China doll when they made love. Tamia wasn’t against making love, but she wanted a man who could give her something she could feel, and Nick was giving her just that and then some.
“I feel them legs shakin’. Go head and bust, ma.”
“Oh my… Shit!!” Tamia shouted as she climaxed.
Minutes later, Nick exploded inside her, and when he pulled out, he walked her over to the couch. They laid down and Nick covered them with a blanket. Tamia was drained as she melted in his embrace. They had been sleeping together in the same bed for the past month and some change, and Nick held her all the time, but that was the first time he’d held her after they’d had sex, and Tamia loved how it felt.
“I didn’t think you were ever gonna let me hit. I thought I was gonna have to rape ya ass.” He kissed her neck.
“I know I made you wait longer than you should have, and I have no reason for it. I’ve just been trying to deal with all this shit.”
“You mean your mom?”
“And my sisters.”
“What about them?”
“I still blame myself for what happened to them, and even though they didn’t say it, I know they feel some type of way about me disappearing.”
“Baby, you can’t trip on that, but if it’s botherin’ you, then you gotta keep it a hundred with them and tell them how you feel,” he whispered in her ear.
“I know. The three of us are going to have a heart to heart next week. I just hope it brings us closer and doesn’t drive us apart,” Tamia sighed.
“Everythin’ is gonna be fine, shorty.”
Nick inserted his dick back inside her and they made love throughout the night. If Tamia wasn’t in love with him before then, she was in love with him now.

Ramsey laid wide awake in bed with Cashmere resting on his chest and his hands behind his head. It had been an hour since they’d finished round three of their lovemaking showdown, and after making Cashmere cum six times to his three, Ramsey was beyond satisfied with his performance and his wife’s. It had been awhile since they’d had sex, and it was much needed for the newlywed couple. It was the perfect way to end one of the happiest days i
n his life, but although he had more than enough to be thankful for, he couldn’t shake the anger he had pent up inside of him since they’d gotten home.
While he was standing outside with Nick and Manny, his cousin explained to him the history between Nysir and Baylynn. When Nick reminded him that he was the guy from the pictures he showed him in Randall’s backyard, the memories of Baylynn’s deceit from when they were together rushed back to him all at once. Manny expressed to Ramsey that he didn’t know how much he had to deal with while he was with Baylynn, and he didn’t know if he was going to be able to handle Baylynn’s past. Ramsey told his cousin that he couldn’t trip on the past because everybody had one, but it was his decision to stay with her if he wanted to because Baylynn was the mother of their daughter. Ramsey didn’t remind Manny that Baylynn had slept with him while she and Ramey were still together. His cousin was already dealing with enough, and he didn’t want to make it worse.
Ramsey bit the inside of his jaw as he thought about Nysir. He couldn’t help but think if he was really interested in Ryan, or if he used her to get close to Cash, Tamia and Baylynn. Questions upon questions ran through his head, and no matter how hard he tried to put them to rest, his brain wouldn’t shut down. He glanced over at the baby monitor camera on the nightstand and saw that Cassi was sleeping peacefully in her room, but the twins were wide awake in the nursery. Ramsey tried moving without waking Cashmere, but it didn’t work.
“Where you think you going?” she asked sleepily.
“The twins are up. I’m gonna sit in there with them for a li’l while.”
“Naw. I got them. You stay in bed.” She tried to get up, but he stopped her.
“Baby, go back to sleep. I got the girls. You rest.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah.” Ramsey kissed her forehead before he got out of bed, throwing on his boxers and a wife beater.
Closing the bedroom door, he walked down the hall to the nursery and opened the door. Ramsey walked over to the crib, and when the babies saw him, they smiled at him and he couldn’t help but smile back. He removed their blankets and noticed they both needed to be changed. He picked Raina up and carried her over to the changing table to change her diaper. When he was finished with her, he sat her in one of the bouncy chairs before he changed Reema, who had pooped. Ramsey couldn’t help but laugh as he changed Reema’s diaper, remembering how much practice he’d had with changing diapers over the past year and some months. After Reema was changed, he tried to sit her in the other bouncy chair, but she began to cry as soon as he tried to sit her down.
“Yup, you’re truly a daddy’s girl, Reema.” Ramsey kissed her cheek.
Carrying her in his arms over to the mini fridge, he pulled out two bottles and placed them in the bottle warmers and waited a few minutes for them to get warm. He checked to make sure they weren’t too hot before he placed Reema in her chair. Ramsey got comfortable on the floor and fed the girls their bottles. He stared at his beautiful girls as they both stared at him. He couldn’t help but think that it was meant for him to have only girls. He thought it might’ve been payback for living a double life for three years, or how he had strung Cashmere along and lied to Baylynn all those years. He knew that twins were a blessing, he just didn’t know how he was going to manage when his girls grew up to be teenagers and started dating. The thought alone caused him to have a headache.
“Between you two and y’all big sister, y’all gonna make Daddy kill somebody.” He shook his head.
After the twins were finished their bottles, Ramsey burped them one at a time before wrapping them back up and placing them in their crib. They were both sleeping peacefully and Ramsey stared at them once more before he left their room. Stopping in his room to grab his cell phone, he went downstairs to the living room and turned on the TV. He was scrolling through the TV guide when his cell phone began to ring. Ramsey checked his phone to see who was calling at 4:15 in the a.m. When he saw it was Isaiah, he knew it had to be important.
“Yo, bro?”
“Yo, Rams. I got some info for you, man.”
“Let’s hear it.” He sat on the edge of the couch.
“Since I wasn’t havin’ any luck followin’ Phoenix, I asked her homie who works at the prison with us to see if she could get some info from her and the shit she told me got me ready to kill that bitch for you, bro.”
“Wassup?”
“Shorty told me that the baby she’s carryin’ is definitely not yours. The father is some nigga from outta town. Her baby father’s pops is some crooked-ass old head who works in law enforcement or some shit. Shorty told me the reason Phoenix tried to pin the baby on you was because she wanted to make her nigga jealous because he wasn’t givin’ her no attention or some nut shit like that. She sent me some pictures of Phoenix and her nigga. I’ll send them to ya phone.”
“This shit is crazy, man.” Ramsey chuckled as he ran his free hand over his head.
“Please tell me you’re gonna kill this bitch. I don’t care if she’s pregnant or not.”
“I don’t know at the moment, but send those pics and I’ll hit you up in a couple of days.”
“Say no more.”
The call ended, and seconds later, Isaiah sent four pictures to his phone. The nigga in the pictures was one of the faces Charles had shown them at the meeting, and Ramsey’s temperature went up. He didn’t even bother looking at the other pictures before jumping to his feet and pacing the floor. Ramsey couldn’t believe that bitch had tried to get him caught up in some bullshit. He thought about how Phoenix had come to the shop and caused a scene about him being the father of her baby and the baby wasn’t even his! To make shit worse, she was fucking with the nigga who had played a hand in his wife’s and sisters-in-law’s accidents. Ramsey was ready to fill all those pussy-ass niggas with slugs. When Isaiah mentioned the crooked-ass old head, he had a feeling he was talking about that nigga Simon. Ramsey debated with himself on what he should do. He was a man with a family and he knew he needed to keep them safe but he was tired of waiting. They needed to find the niggas responsible and dead the situation immediately.
Ramsey was so lost in thought, he hadn’t noticed the sun shining brightly through the blinds of the living room. He snatched his phone off the couch to check the time, and it was almost 8:30 a.m. With his phone in hand, he headed towards the kitchen when the doorbell rang. He looked through the peephole and saw that it was Charles and Cassandra. Ramsey was confused as to why they were there so early, but that didn’t stop him from opening the door.
“Good morning, son-in-law,” Cassandra greeted him with a smile and hug.
“Good mornin’, Ma,” he chuckled.
“Hey, Charles.” They shook hands as he let them in.
“I apologize for popping up unannounced, but I just wanted to come over and help out with the babies and cook breakfast for y’all.”
“No need to apologize. Y’all are always welcome. We’re family,” Ramsey smiled.
“Good! I’ll get breakfast started.” Cassandra scurried to the kitchen.
“Umm, Ramsey? We need to talk,” Charles stated sternly.
“Indeed, we do. Let me get decent and I’ll be right back.”
Charles nodded and went to take a seat in the living room while Ramsey jogged up the steps to his room. He glanced at the bed on his way to the bathroom and noticed it was empty. Opening the bathroom door, he saw Cash wrapping a towel around herself. The sight of her dripping wet made his dick hard. When she saw his erect penis, she bit her lip and smiled.
“I would let you slob on this knob, but we’re gonna have to save that for later. Ya parents are here.” He kissed her cheek.
“Mom and Dad? Why are they here so early?” She walked over to the sink, grabbing the toothbrush and toothpaste.
“Ya dad wants to talk to me and ya mom came to cook and help with the kids.” He grabbed his toothbrush and Cash put toothpaste on it.
“I got a feeling my mom is going to be here
all the time. She might as well move in, shit.”
Ramsey chuckled as they brushed their teeth in the dual sinks. When they were finished, they washed their faces and dried them before leaving the bathroom. Ramsey threw on some ball shorts, a tee shirt, socks and Jordan slippers before grabbing his phone. He kissed his wife passionately, then left the room. When Ramsey reached the living room, he motioned for Charles to follow him to the backyard. He smiled as he watched Cassandra at the stove on his way out the door to the yard. Charles closed the sliding door behind him and started the conversation.
“Congratulations on your marriage. Cass told me y’all went to City Hall yesterday.” Charles stood a few feet away from him with his hands in his pockets.
“Thanks. Cashmere wanted to do it that way. We’re still gonna have the ceremony, though. She missed you at the party.”
“I’m sorry I missed it. Something came up, but we’ll get into that a little later.”
Ramsey nodded.
“Ramsey, I know we haven’t had the chance to get to know each other the way we needed to, and I was hoping we could do so right now.”
“I’m cool with that.”
“It’s from my understanding that you were dating Baylynn and Cashmere at the same time before they found out they were sisters. Am I right?”
“Yes.” Ramsey stuffed his hands into his pocket.
“How did you meet both of them?”
Ramsey explained that he knew Baylynn from the block they lived on and how she always had a thing for him. He told Charles he wasn’t interested in her at first because of her reputation, but after he got to know her and saw how she was willing to ride for him, they became a couple. Ramsey informed Charles that he was visiting his sister at college when he met Cashmere. He told Charles when he first laid eyes on Cash, he knew he had to have her, even though he already had a girl.
“I see. How long were you with Baylynn before you met Cash?”
“I was with her for five years and some change and Cashmere was in my life for three years when I broke up with Baylynn.”
