“What’s up?”

I climbed into his lap, and his entire body tensed then relaxed.

“What would you do if I said after only knowing you for this little bit of time, I knew that I never wanted to be away from you.”

Arrow stared at me so hard for such a long time that I started to get up, but his hands settled on my thighs, holding me in place.

His right hand left my thigh and went to the back of my neck. My lips touched his, and for a few seconds, it was only light pecks. However, when his tongue swiped my bottom lip, things took a deep turn. I relaxed completely into Arrow, and there was a part of me that wanted to feel guilty because I was another man’s wife, but after the years of abuse, assault, and infidelity, I pushed it out of my mind. I deserved something that was for me.

Arrow turned his head slightly, and I was grateful because I doubted I would have come up for air if he hadn’t.

“You know once I take it there… there is no going back, right?”

“I don’t want to go back. Since being here with you, I have witnessed all the things I missed over the years. I thought I was rebelling against my folks with Gideon, and it turns out I was just a pawn in their game. With you, there is no hidden agenda. What you say is what it is. I know I have a lot to figure out and shouldn’t hop out of one thing into another, but I have to believe God gave me you for a reason.”

Arrow looked at me without blinking, then the next thing I knew, he was on his feet and carrying me down the hall.

“I hope you know you just fucked up.”

I giggled and held onto his neck.

Arrow wasn’t a small man, but I was a big girl. He carried me toward his room like he had Hendrix in his arms. He tossed me on the bed, and I bounced as laughter spilled through my lips.

Arrow came to me and started to lean over me but stopped.

“What’s wrong?” I asked as he rushed from his bedroom.

I sat up on my elbows, ready to climb from the bed, when he returned with the baby monitor.

“Almost forgot something. Don’t need my guy out there all alone thinking he been abandoned and shit ’cause his mama trying sit on my dick.”

I gasped and threw one of his pillows at him.

“You are truly impossible. You know that?”

There were no words spoken once Arrow set the monitor on his dresser.

His lids lowered to my body. I wore a floral print pajama set, but the way he looked at me, I wondered if he could see through the material. My nipples hardened as Arrows fingertips brushed against my stomach. I didn’t have a bra on, so when his large hands roamed under the fabric and brushed my nipples, I hissed.

My core tightened with his skin on mine…

“Move to the center of the bed.”

His voice was slow but steady, so I did what he asked.

“Right here?”

“Yeah. Can I eat your pussy, baby?”

I inhaled and threw my head back.

A simple question had set every part of me on fire. I didn’t think it was possible to want another human being the way I wanted Arrow. It was crazy because I still didn’t know his real name, but that didn’t matter because I just wanted him. I was brought back to the moment when cool air hit my most sensitive area. Looking down, I saw the top of Arrow’s head as his tongue dipped and wrapped itself around my clit.

He hummed and gripped both of my legs, making sure I had no escape.

“Oh my God! Arrow, please.”

“Please, what? Hmm? You told me I could have her, so let me enjoy my meal.” Arrow dropped his head back, and I wished that he hadn’t locked me in.
