“I’ll never leave you. Even when I leave for school, I’ll still be here for you. The same way you feel about me is the same way I feel about you. My uncle loves me in his own way, but it’s different with you. For the first time, I have someone in my life that I want to live for. I want to be someone you can count on when the world lets you down. My parents loved each other to the very end, and I want the same kind of love. It’s us against the world, and I’m gonna bet on us every time.”

“I think I’m ready,” I whispered, lifting my head to gauge his reaction. We stared at each other for a while before he caught on to what I meant.

“Oh, shit. Are you sure? I promise, there’s no rush on my end. I understand what you’ve been through, so I don’t want you to feel like you have t—” I silenced him with a kiss before he could ramble on any further.

“I know what I want, and it’s you. I’ve never been able to give myself to someone by choice. Tonight, I want to choose, and I choose you.” The men in my past had taken what was rightfully mine to give, and I wanted to experience what it would be like to share my body with someone who would take care of it. I deserved this.

“Okay, umm. Can you give me a moment to get some things together? I want to make this special for you. For both of us.”

“Dinero, you don’t?—”

“Yes, I do. You choosing me means something, and I want to make sure you never regret this decision. Give me two hours, tops. You go to the theater room and don’t come back upstairs until I tell you to.” This time, he kissed my lips before he raced out of my room.

“Am I allowed to look now?” I asked as Money led me up to the room. You would think I would be a lot more nervous than I actually felt right now. However, excitement flowed through my body. If I knew anything in this world, I knew I could trust myself with him. With him going off to school, I couldn’t help but worry if we would last in a long-distance relationship. Dinero insisted that we would be just fine, but I wasn’t too confident in it. At least I would be able to have this beautiful moment to store in my memories.

“Yeah, you’re good now.” His hands lifted from my eyes, and I could feel the tears sliding down my cheek. My room had been filled with rose bouquets everywhere. The middle of the bed was covered with rose petals in a heart shape with the letters M&S. I chuckled when I saw it.

“You do know those aren’t our actual initials, right?”

“Yeah, but D&C didn’t sound right to me, so I decided to switch it up.” I sounded the letters out and realized what he meant.

“Oh, I never even thought about it like that. Look at you being resourceful.”

“Yeah, yeah. Enough talking. Take your clothes off,” he commanded. Looking back at him, I waited to see if he was being serious.

“I meant for your bath, but that too.” He popped me on the behind before going into the adjoining bathroom. I slowly peeled off my clothes as I whispered a silent prayer. I needed this night to go off perfectly. I’d dreamed about this moment for solong. Picturing myself being madly in love with a man who only loved me. I’d imagined how magical this moment would be and needed this to go smoothly.

Dinero had been more than patient with me, but this wasn’t even about him. I wanted to experience pleasure—real pleasure from someone who truly loved me. I used to sneak and watch those classic black movies where they would play music over the scene and make it seem like the most erotic and sensual experience you could ever have. Tonight, I wanted my own fairy tale moment.

“Are you coming or what?” Turning to face him, I noticed he still had on his hoop shorts, but he had taken his shirt off. His body was truly a work of art, and I loved being able to admire God’s handiwork every day.

“Yes.” My arms were wrapped around my chest, and I was sure he probably thought I was childish. I wasn’t used to being naked in front of him. Since I’d been in the house, Nero had gone out of his way to make me feel comfortable, and he had never tried anything with me. We made out all the time, but he kept things respectful.

As I stepped into the bathroom, there were more rose petals, and I noticed the robe and headband sitting on the sink. I smiled because I mentioned to him that I wanted to buy myself a robe, although this one looked way more expensive than anything I would have purchased.

Slow jams crooned through the Bluetooth speakers as he reached for my hand.

“If you want to stop at any point, just say the word. Tonight is all about you and your comfort levels, okay?” I nodded because there would be no point in arguing with him.

“Are you getting in with me?” I noticed he still hadn’t made any attempts to take off his clothes.

“I wasn’t sure if you were ready for that, so I was gonna chill on the side.”

“You said tonight is all about what I want, right?”

“Of course.”

“Then take it off.” Fire danced in his eyes, and it turned me on even more. I could feel my juices collecting between my thighs, and it caught me off guard.

“Your wish is my command.” He pulled down his shorts.

My eyes damn near exploded out of my head as I gawked at the long, thick muscle between his legs. I wasn’t about to punk out now, but I might have been a little in over my head. I tilted my head for a better view and heard the sound of him chuckling.

“Do I need to put them back on, or are you good?” I saw his smirk, and I dropped my head in embarrassment.

“I’m good. Come on.” I reached for his hand this time and walked over to the tub. Dinero sat down on one end, and I sat on the other. The water elevated around us, then it sunk back down into the tub. I never understood the value of being able to soak in a tub. When I first moved in, I tried to keep my showers and baths short to avoid conflict. At some point, he questioned me about it, and once I explained my history, he cussed me out before telling me I could do whatever I wanted.

“Why are you so far away?” he inquired. Instead of going back and forth, I lifted up to my knees and moved over to him. Dinero pulled me into his lap, and his dick rested against my lower back. I rested against his chest and listened to the sound of him breathing.
