“Analise had a three-day retreat for the top one hundred influencers, and she invited me to attend. I posted the pictures on my page; didn’t you see them?”

“Naw. You know I don’t really get on social media like that. You could have at least told me what was up. Lately, you’ve been popping in and out of here like we’re roommates or something. Let me know what’s up.” My gut told me she was up to no good, but I hadn’t taken the time to do any digging. Truthfully, I had been too busy doing my own dirt.

“Well, you were occupied with those boys, so I figured you wouldn’t even notice.” The underlying sarcasm in her tone wasn’t lost on me.

“Those boys? You mean my sons?”

“Oh, Money, you’re way too sensitive. All I’m saying is that your time has been preoccupied lately. Since I’ve had more free time on my hands, I’ve been diving headfirst into my content at my condo near my office. My YouTube page is growing, and I’ve been getting more views from these events.” I hadn’t introduced her to my boys because she’d been gone so much, but that wasn’t the only reason. A part of me wanted to hold off because I wasn’t sure whether we were going to be together much longer, and I didn’t want to confuse them. I’d been so conflicted lately, and it left me feeling unsettled.

“I realize this may be a lot on you, but I’m starting to feel like you have an issue with my kids. If you’ve got something to get off your chest, let me know.” Harper scoffed before turning in her chair at her vanity.

“I don’t know what you expect me to say. Do I feel some type of way about the fact that you’re claiming these kids out of nowhere? Yes. I understand you said you took a DNA test, but let’s not pretend that it’s not possible for someone to pay a tech or something. I mean, think about it. Why would she wait until now to come to you with this? What is it that she wants from you?”

I scratched the back of my neck, trying to make sure I chose my words carefully. I never liked to speak from a place of anger,but when I said something, I meant it, and there was no taking it back.

“You seem to have all of this mixed up, so let me explain something to you. Those boys are mine, and to be honest, the DNA test was nothing more than a formality so I could officially get my name added to their birth certificates and legally change their last name. Sunny isn’t trying to gain anything from me because she never sought me out. Now, I can understand if this is an adjustment for you because it would be for me as well, but these are my kids. If you have an issue with accepting them or being in their lives, I completely understand. We can call this wedding off and go our separate ways. However, I won’t tolerate any disrespect when it comes to them or their mother. Do you understand me?” Harper stared at me with her lips poked out. That shit wasn’t going to work on me because she had already pissed me off.

“Money, don’t be silly. We’ve spent way too much money to cancel our wedding. I’m only trying to protect you from getting hurt. I’ve been around players all my life, with my father being a football coach. So many men have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because these gold diggers are trying to put babies on them. You have built a multimillion-dollar empire, and I won’t stand here and allow anyone to take advantage of you.”

“You don’t know anything about her to make those kinds of assumptions. I understand your concern, but you’re directing it in the wrong place. Sunny isn’t after my money; even if she was, she’s entitled to her share because she gave birth to my sons. Right now, my only priority is building a relationship with my kids. I can’t have anything get in the way of that, so I need to know now if you can handle this because if not, there’s the door. There won’t be any hard feelings on my end.”

“Oh, don’t be ridiculous. I’m not going anywhere, so you can save that. All I’m trying to do is look out for you. I spoke toDaddy, and he also thinks something suspicious is going on with that woman. We’re in the process of planning a wedding, and now, all of a sudden, she comes out of nowhere.”

“What does the wedding have to do with any of this?”

“You don’t think the timing is sketchy? Our wedding plans have been public for months, so I’m sure she knows you’re about to get married.” I shook my head, already growing tired of this conversation.

“I’m pretty sure she isn’t worried about our wedding plans. Even if that was the case, it has nothing to do with the boys. Speaking of weddings, I need to schedule an appointment for them to get fitted for tuxes. Maybe we can go out to dinner so you can meet them officially.”

“I’m confused. What do they need tuxedos for?” Harper asked with her face scrunched up. I looked at her as if she had two heads.

“What do you mean? All of my groomsmen have tuxes, and they need to be in uniform with everyone else in the wedding party.”

“Money, you’re talking crazy right now. Our wedding is in six months, and we are already filled to capacity. There’s no room for them, especially not in the actual wedding. I’m sure their mother wouldn’t approve of that anyway,” she rambled. I chuckled angrily because she must have really tripped and lost her mind.

“I don’t give a fuck how full the shit is. You might want to call the wedding coordinator and let her know that there’ll be two more people in the wedding party.”

“Then our numbers will be uneven.” She pouted.

“Check me out. If you don’t make the adjustments to include my sons, we won’t have to worry about the number of attendees because there won’t be a wedding. Now, I apologize if you were under the impression that I was asking, but I’m not.” No morewords were spoken as I stepped into my closet to grab the items I needed for my shower.

I felt like I’d been running on empty these last few weeks. Everything was hitting me all at once, and I still hadn’t fully processed it all. Tootie had been blowing my phone up, but I wasn’t ready to face her yet. Then there was Sunny. Things had been so awkward between us lately. Things were going good between us, but she switched up out of nowhere. Now, our interactions were short, and her responses were dry. When I tried to pop up over there, she wouldn’t answer the door.

Dreis thought it was funny that she had seemingly cut me off, but she had me fucked up. I didn’t know what I expected, but this wasn’t it. When I texted her about coming to get the kids for the weekend, she sent me a thumbs-up emoji. I didn’t know why it pissed me off, but it did. ’Cause what the fuck did that even mean? As the water washed over me, I continued to go over everything that had been going on.

A cold draft caught me off guard. I already knew it was Harper, so I never bothered to turn around. She stepped in front of me, and my dick barely responded. She gave a seductive smirk before dropping to her knees. Harper wasn’t slick by any means because she never gave me head unless she thought she was in trouble. Of course, I wasn’t going to complain because I needed a release.

Spending so much time around Sunny had been harder than I thought it would be. Every single thing about her turned me on, from her gorgeous face to her innocent eyes and perfect body. Fucking her only made things worse because I craved her every second that she wasn’t near me. I found myself staring at pictures of her in order for me to get my rocks off. This dry spell without her had me ready to break into her house on some stalker type shit. I would get on my knees and beg for a taste if it came down to it.

“Hmm,” Harper moaned. I couldn’t even pretend like she wasn’t doing a good job, because her mouth had my toes curling. It was crazy that we had to get into it for her to get nasty, but I would take what I could get.

“Fuck.” I grunted, pumping my dick down her throat. Harper hated for me to push her head, so I kept my hands to myself. Instead, I rested my hand on the wall while the other rested at my side. My eyes were closed as Sunny’s face appeared. The cocky smirk on her face turned me on. Her pouty lips were covered in lip gloss as she opened her mouth to receive me. Muscle memory kicked in as I imagined how soft they were when they were wrapped around my dick.

“Damn, baby.” She stuck her tongue out before taking me to the back of her throat. The move caused me to groan. Saliva collected on both sides of her mouth, and her tongue ran up and down my shaft. My eyes were still closed as I stretched out my other hand to hold the shower door.

Sunny and I never broke eye contact, and the sight of her devouring my shit caused me to grow even harder. I kept my strokes steady because I didn’t want to overwhelm her since it had been so long. Plus, I wanted to savor every second with her. Her tiny hands twisted around the base as she alternated between sucking the tip and licking my shaft.

“Suck your dick, Sunny baby. You know I love that nasty shit,” I commanded. Her pace sped up, and the sounds of her sucking and gagging had me on my tiptoes trying to feed her all of this. My words must have encouraged her to go even harder as she took me in even deeper. The sound of her gagging on my dick was the sexiest sound I’d heard in a long time. Her pretty brown eyes looked up at me with so much love and admiration. It reminded me of all those years ago. Back when we were madly in love, and she considered me her hero. I wanted to get back to that place again.
