She gave me a kiss over the phone and hung up. I hated to lie to her like that, but I guess there’s a first time for everything. I just hoped she believed me. I wasn’t in the mood for one of her unexpected visits.
When I got to the kitchen, I could have died. Scorpio had burned the hamburger meat, and grease was everywhere on my island. This was enough for me. Bitch couldn’t even cook? I didn’t care how fine she was, she had to go.
“Say, why don’t you go in the living room and have a seat. Let me clean up things in here and I’ll call and order us some Chinese.”
“Jaylin, I’m so sorry. I searched for some seasoning salt in your pantry and when I turned around, the meat had burned. Let me make it up to you. I’ll pay for the Chinese if you call it in.”
“Okay, whatever. Just go have a seat in the living room and I’ll be out in a minute.”
She walked her sexy ass into the living room and out of my presence. As I cleaned up, I tried to come up with a good reason for her to leave so I could call Nokea back and tell her I changed my mind about waiting. Right about now, I’d rather be making love to Nokea than screwing this dizzy-ass broad.
I turned off the kitchen light and walked into the living room. Scorpio was leaned back on the sofa with her arms folded and her legs crossed, humming with the music on the intercom. I sat next to her.
“Scorpio, look. I think it was a big mistake asking you to come here tonight. I, uh, have a woman, and right now, we’re having a difficult time in our relationship. I thought inviting you here would ease my pain, but it’s not.”
“How did you intend for me to ease your pain, Jaylin?”
“I don’t know. Sex, probably, but I don’t think it’s in my best interest to go there with you. If my woman finds out, we’ll probably never be able to work things out.”
Scorpio reached over and twirled her fingers through my hair. “I’m so disappointed to hear that,” she said seductively. “But what makes you think she’s going to find out?”
“You know how y’all women are. Sooner or later, the truth always comes out.”
She leaned in to whisper in my ear. “If you won’t tell, then I won’t tell.”
Just that fast, her lips touching my earlobe made me want to fuck her.
“So, are you saying if you let me hit that, I don’t have to call you tomorrow?”
“All I’m saying is I live for today and not for tomorrow. And right now, today, I want to see what this big bulge in your pants is all about. I’d love to feel it inside of me, and I want to get to know it, just for the night. If you have no desire to call me tomorrow, then don’t. I promise you I won’t cry, and I doubt that I’ll lose any sleep.”
Sounded like a motherfucking plan to me. Scorpio stood up and removed her white sandals. I scooted back on the couch, stretched my arms out, and watched her. She stood right in front of me and untied her white linen jumper. She eased it down past her hips, until it hit the floor. When she turned around to walk over to my furry black rug, I noticed a tattoo of a red rose smack on the right cheek of her fat, juicy ass. She lay on the floor with her breasts facing me and her legs opened so I could see the neatly trimmed hairs that covered her pussy. My dick throbbed like I was about to explode. I stood up and got ready to remove my pajama pants.
“Jaylin, no,” she said seductively. “Stay right there, baby. When I need you, I’ll ask for you.” She inserted her finger into her goodness and my eyes were glued to it. She moved her finger in and out and then licked it. I sat filled with excitement as she rolled her finger over her clitoris and her juices started to flow.
“Now, it’s your turn.” She opened her legs wider and invited me in.
I rose up and removed my pajamas while Scorpio anxiously awaited me on the floor. When she got a glimpse of my nine-plus inches, she smiled. My intentions were to go for the good stuff first, but I also wanted to tease her ass like she had done to me so well.
She held her finger out and I licked it to get a quick taste of her. I eased my body between her legs and placed my lips on her breasts. She sat up on her elbows and watched to make sure I did a good job. As I teased her nipples with the tip of my tongue, she closed her pretty eyes and leaned her head back.
I licked my way down her chest and rolled my tongue inside her pierced belly button. The foreplay was getting intense, and when she lay back and closed her eyes tighter, I went for it all. My face brushed against her soft, pillowy hairs and I took a few light licks up and down her moist slit. I stuck my tongue deep within, and as she moaned, I could feel her body tremble. I rolled my tongue around her clitoris and sucked the juices as they rolled down my lips. Nothing but the taste of sweet cherry lemonade hit me. When I finished, I found her lips and shared the taste with her.
“Fuck me, Jaylin,” she whispered in my ear. “Fuck me good, baby.” She didn’t have to ask because that’s what I intended to do.
I stretched her legs out in the air and held them with my hands while she lay back. I rubbed myself up against her to make sure she was soaking wet. As I entered, I damn near lost control. I dropped her legs and leaned down to gather myself for a minute. Pussy felt so warm and good on my dick, I thought it had melted. I closed my eyes and tried to think about the St. Louis Rams football game today, about my job—anything to prevent myself from coming too quickly.
I was able to maintain my composure and get back to work. I worked her insides better than I’d ever done before. Turned her over and pounded her ass like a piece of meat. And just when she thought I was finished, I bent her body over my leather sofa, held her tiny waistline, and stroked her from behind. After all, she was the one who said “fuck me.”
Scorpio and I took deep breaths as we lay on the couch. My legs were open and she had her slim, sexy body on top of mine. Her head was on my chest, and I couldn’t help but rub my hands on her soft ass.
“Jaylin, I haven’t had sex like that in a long time. It was so good to release all that energy with you.”
“Same here. I haven’t felt like that in a long time either.”
“So... where do we go from here? I know you said you already had somebody in your life, but I kind of felt a connection between us. Tell me if I’m wrong.”
I felt as if we’d made a sexual connection too, so there obviously had to be some changes in my original plans not to call her again. For now, her having a child, a fucked-up car, and no cooking skills had to be put on the back burner. “All I can say is I’d be willing to take this one day at a time. First, let me tell you I ain’t for being with just one woman. I have a lot of friends—good friends—whose company I enjoy a lot. If you don’t mind being a part of my world, then sure, I’d love to keep you around.”
“What’s the need for so many women in your life? Can’t you get everything you want from just one?”
I chuckled at the thought. “Honestly, no. Everybody in my life accentuates it in a different way. It’s necessary for me to have what I want, and if somebody decides to jet, I won’t be left without.”
“Oh, I see. So, in what ways do the other women accentuate your life? I’m sure I can fulfill many of those needs. It almost sounds like you’re afraid of being left alone.”
“Maybe you can accentuate my life and bring to the table everything I need, but now isn’t the time to discuss it. As for me being alone ...a man like me will never be alone. Still, I like my space and I don’t want nobody in my life around the clock.”
Scorpio lay quietly with her head on my chest. I got sleepy, so I suggested we go to my room for a drink. I took her hand and we moseyed up the steps.
“Jaylin?” she said, stopping me on our way up.
“Yes.”
“I forgot something.”
“Forgot what?”
“Sit and I’ll show you.”
I sat on the steps and Scorpio brought her lips to mine. She took my hand and put it between her legs so I could feel her wetness. Then, as soon as my dick gave her some attention, she swallowed it
like no other sista had done before. I leaned back and enjoyed the sensation of the back of her throat.
Just as I was getting into it, she switched positions and put it on me. Stroked me so good, I couldn’t think about anything else but being inside of her.
“Scorpio, damn, baby, please. Brotha tired,” I said, suddenly feeling drained, which was quite unusual for me.
“Jaylin, you ain’t fucking me,” she whispered in my ear. “I need a man to fuck me.”
I couldn’t sit there like no punk who couldn’t hang, so I quickly retrieved a condom from my nearby office, turned her ass over on the steps, and tore into her from behind. She held onto the banister to keep still, and her long, beautiful hair dripped with sweat. I moved her hair over and pecked down the side of her neck. When I felt myself about to explode, I held the banister with one hand and gripped her butt with my other one.
“Woman, what in the hell are you trying to do to me?”
“I’m not trying to do anything. When I got something as good as you to work with, the best of me comes out. But, Jaylin?”
“What’s up?”
“You’re heavy. Do you mind getting up?” She pushed me back with her body.
“Aw, I’m sorry. I was just caught up in the moment.” I stood and reached down to help her up.
We went into my bedroom. She seemed amazed as she looked up at the high coffered ceiling. I could tell she was impressed. I told her I’d had an interior decorator and paid her very well for her services.
Scorpio smiled and got her sexy self underneath my covers. I thought about the mess we’d left downstairs, and I went down there to pick up our shoes and clothes and then brought them upstairs to my room. Just the thought of my place being junky upset me. I neatly laid her outfit on my chaise and put her shoes underneath it. I hung my pajamas in the closet and got in bed next to her.
Scorpio lay on her stomach, barely keeping her eyes open. It didn’t take her long to fall asleep. Some of her hair covered her face, and I moved it over to the side so I could look at her. She was an amazingly beautiful woman, but I didn’t know much about her. Was she really feeling me, or could I have finally met my match? I didn’t see her as being gullible, but she didn’t seem bothered by me mentioning other women. I hoped like hell that she wasn’t a gold-digger, but if she was, she was definitely wasting her time.
I hadn’t decided if I wanted to keep her in my life; then, I lifted the cover and looked at her well-shaped naked body. After getting a good look, I decided she was a keeper. She needed some work, but that wouldn’t be a problem for me. I’d just have to deal with her child and add a few enhancements to her so she could fit into my circle.

FELICIA
Jaylin didn’t even call last night. I called his house all night but got no answer. I started to pay him a visit, but I was sure Miss Homebody was probably over there. But even if she was, he usually still answered the phone, so I didn’t know what was up.
Today, I went to the Galleria at lunch to buy myself something nice. After all the bullshit I put up with from Jaylin, the least I could do was take good care of myself. As soon as I walked into Macy’s, I saw Nokea on her way out with a shopping bag, which looked to be filled with men’s clothing.
“I see Jaylin’s got his mother going shopping for him again,” I said.
“Felicia, give me a break. You know I’m not trying to be anything like Jaylin’s mother. Just in case you didn’t notice, he is my man, and I do take good care of him.”
I could have choked. How could she be taking good care of him and wasn’t even satisfying his needs? “Nokea, feel free to spend all of your little money on Jaylin. If you think buying him clothes is going to keep him, my dear, you got another thing coming.”
“And Felicia, if you think screwing his brains out is going to keep him, then you got another thing coming.”
“Bitch, when are you going to wake up and smell the coffee? All Jaylin wants is a good woman who can fuck him like I can. You’re sadly mistaken if you think he’s going to settle down with you and you ain’t upping nothing. In this day and age, that just doesn’t keep a man.”
“In case you want to know, I’m meeting with Jaylin about our little problem tonight. Whenever I decide to give myself to him, you are done. So, please, enjoy his strokes while they last because your last stroke is almost over.”
“If that’s the case, you should’ve talked to him about that last night when you were there. If your decision to give it up all of a sudden didn’t change anything last night, then today definitely ain’t going to make a difference.”
“I wasn’t at his place last night. When I spoke to him, he was tired. Tired of your mess, and all these other females’ mess. So, as I said before, after tonight, you’re history.” She turned and walked away.
I hated that little preppy bitch—maybe because deep down I knew Jaylin cared about her a little more than he did me. I overheard him speaking to Stephon one day about how she meant so much to him. He even referred to her as his soul-mate. He said that if it wasn’t for her being there for him, he would be lost. I couldn’t ignore his strong feelings for her.
Maybe it was time to face reality. What if Jaylin decided to settle down with Nokea? Where would that leave me? I knew I was too good for this kind of bullshit, but I just couldn’t help myself. His sex was too good for me to let go, and until I found better, I was staying put. Yes, there were more men who had it going on like Jaylin and who were interested in me. Especially where I worked. I just didn’t want to go there because relationships in the workplace never seemed to work out.
I flew down Brentwood Boulevard in my Lexus thinking about what Nokea had said about giving it up to Jaylin. Now, as far as I knew, it had been me and only me for a while. Would he really be willing to end this for a virgin who obviously didn’t know how to show him the ropes? The thought frustrated me.
When I got back to work, I asked my secretary to get Jaylin on the phone. She called his office, but then told me he didn’t go to work today. I tried him at home and got his voicemail. Damn, where is he? I thought. I hadn’t talked to him since Saturday morning. Normally, by now, he would’ve called to say hello.
Then it hit me. Nokea said she wasn’t at his place last night, so that probably meant somebody else was. He wasn’t calling because he had a new bitch. Every time somebody new came along, he distanced himself. Then when he realized nobody could give it to him like I could, he would dismiss the new bitch. So, here we go again. I was gonna have to go over there and fuck his brains out so he could get his mind back on the right track.
As a matter of fact, since Nokea would be there, we’d have a good ole time. We hadn’t had one of our deep arguments in a long time, and it was well overdue. The last time I confronted Nokea was a few months ago, but she backed down easy. I’d paid Jaylin an unexpected visit, and she was there. Jaylin asked me to leave, but I wasn’t doing that before I made it clear to her where things stood between him and me.
Nokea didn’t even put up a fuss, but as usual, Jaylin always sided with her and chewed me out the following day. He flat out told me that if I ever made him choose, he’d choose her. His words stung, but since I was in this for one thing and one thing only, I didn’t trip.
Tonight, though, I needed to know where things stood between us. I think I felt more for Jaylin than I wanted to admit. If he all of a sudden had plans to end this, then I didn’t know what I was going to do. Knowing him, he was gonna stick to the same words he’d been saying for years: “Y’all know my situation. I can’t be with one woman. If you don’t like it, then you know what you can do.” Realistically, adding Nokea to our sexual mix wasn’t going to fly, and another new woman would only make it worse.

NOKEA
Jaylin was ending it with Felicia tonight. This was the last straw.
After seeing her at the Galleria, I stopped at the Saint Louis Bread Company on Carondelet Avenue and saw Mona, an old girlfrien
d of mine from college. She sat down to have a cup of coffee and Danish with me.
“So, how’s everything going, Nokea? I haven’t seen you in a long time.”
“It’s going fine, Mona. I just got a promotion and things are going well. How about you? I heard you and Carlos tied the knot.”
“Yeah, we finally got married a little over a year ago. I have a little girl. Her name is Tory Marie, and she’s a beauty.” Mona reached in her wallet to show me a picture of her baby.
“Mona, she’s beautiful. You are so lucky.” I gave the picture back to her.
“So, Nokea, you haven’t tied the knot yet? I know the last time we talked, you were dating that fine investment broker. Whatever happened to him?”
“He’s still around. We haven’t decided to walk down the aisle yet, but it’s coming. Probably sooner than I think.”
“Well, don’t wait too long. You know we aren’t getting any younger. I had to lay it on the line for Carlos. We’d been together since college, and he still wanted to play the field. I took him to dinner one night and said ‘Look, brotha, it’s either the streets or me.’ I made it perfectly clear that when I was gone, I wasn’t coming back. Two weeks later, he proposed. Sometimes a man needs a little help. He doesn’t realize a good thing until it’s gone. And even though he was somewhat pressured, we have a good life together. Every day he thanks me for getting him on the right track.”
“I’m sure everything will work out for Jaylin and me. We’ve known each other a long time—and you’re right, we’re not getting any younger. I can’t wait to have beautiful babies with him like you have with Carlos. Are you planning to have any more?”
“I sure am. Carlos wants to wait, but he doesn’t know I stopped taking my birth control pills. So, I’ll have another surprise for him very soon, I hope.”
“Girl, you crazy. But it’s good to see things are going well for you.”
“Same here, Nokea. But you get that handsome man to marry you so y’all can start making those beautiful babies.” She looked down at her watch. “Look, I gotta go. I have a hair appointment at three, and since I know I probably won’t get out until late, I’d better get on my way. It was good seeing you, Nokea. Call me some time.” She gave me a piece of paper with her number on it.
