Page 71 of A Toxic Redemption

Luck slowly turned to me with a look of confusion on her face. We were about to have a whole baby, so I didn't know why she was shocked a nigga was talking about living together. It's way past due.

"New house?" She faced me. "Are you sure we're ready for that? That's a big step, Khalil."

"And having a baby isn't?"

"It is," she hurriedly answered. "Can we just talk about this later? I want to finish shopping. Plus, I'm hungry."

She gave me a soft smile and continued shopping. Her brushing me off lowkey pissed me off, but I wouldn't make a big deal about it. We are definitely going to talk later because living under separate roofs when we get back home is no longer an option.

"Look at this cute little dress," Lucky cooed as she held up the tiny rags. We were now in the last place we needed to be — a damn children's clothing store.

I looked at the dress, and I couldn't help but frown because I had no idea who she thought was going to wear that shit. Our baby would be born in a few months. Although it'll still be warm in September, my kid won't be walking around here in a halter-top dress.

"Say, baby, you got me fucked up if you think my baby is going to be out here dressed like a mini hooker." I scowled as she giggled and continued to browse for unnecessary clothes. We'd been out exploring the city, and the ladies decided they wanted to go outlet shopping. "Why do you want to buy this shit anyway when we're having a son? I can't make girls."

"Baby, how do you figure that?" She smirked and turned my way. Luck looked so pretty with her yellow floral sundress on. Her skin was so pretty and clear. The curls she sported were piled on her head in a messy bun, putting her round face on display. This girl was pressure without even trying.

"God wouldn't do that to me, baby." I followed behind her and placed my hand on top of her belly. It seemed as if I couldn't keep my hands off this girl. "He wouldn't want the murder rate to rise by giving me a daughter." I smiled when she started picking up shit for KJ. She really treated him like her own. "I'd kill everybody that blinked wrong at my girl."

"Hmm, you're scared of that karma?" She giggled as we headed toward the cash register. I'd never heard of Children's Place before KJ, but this was the main place I shopped for him. It was very rare that I bought him designer shit. He was a kid, so his little ass didn't know the difference.

"Exactly." I chuckled as I watched the cashier ring up the items. I didn't care how much money I had, she'd better give me the advertised prices. "I've been dogging bitches for the pastthree years, love, so I don't need another nigga doing my seed that way. I'd be in prison, and you'd be alone for the rest of your life."

The way I ran through women over the years was ridiculous, but those days were behind me. I knew Lucky was it for me, and I was more than happy to spend the rest of my life with her.

"So if you go to prison, I can't move on?" She placed her hands over her eyes and gazed up at me as we exited the store. The weather was beautiful today, and I appreciated it. "So I'm supposed to never have sex either, huh? If you're in prison, what am I supposed to do?"

Stopping in my tracks, the daggers I threw at Luck caused her to go into a fit of giggles. I wished she would think about fucking another nigga. I didn't care if a nigga ended up with life. She'd better find a way to sneak inside my cell.

"Y'all want to go get something to eat?" Bino approached us as we walked toward Bath & Body Works. I was happy as fuck he approached us because I didn't want to go in there. Luck would walk around sniffing candles like a crackhead for hours and walk out with so much shit it was ridiculous. "A nigga is starving." He looked at Lucky along with all the bags and smiled. "I know you're hungry, sis, and you're going to definitely have to move in with my nigga after buying all of this shit. That little ass apartment is going to be packed out."

"Fuck you, Bino." She turned her nose up slightly and walked away. The way her ass jiggled in that dress, I wanted to do nothing more than stick my head up the back of it.

"We'll meet you there." I chuckled as he walked me to the car and helped me with all the bags Lucky left me with. "I saw a Longhorn a couple of blocks over."

Getting into my truck, Luck was on the passenger side, seemingly lost in her thoughts. I know she wasn’t tripping onwhat my cousin said because they always joke like that. Plus, if I thought he meant any harm, I would have cursed his ass out.

"Talk to me, baby," I started my ride and turned to her. "Why are you over there looking long-faced?"

When Luck glanced at me with a hint of worry in her eyes, I felt anger brew inside me. I never wanted her anything less than happy for the rest of her life. She wasn't going to worry about shit on my watch.

"All this talk about us living together is getting to me," she admitted. "It's your house this and your house that." She looked down at her twiddle thumbs before bringing her eyes back to me. "If you wake up one day and decide this isn't what you want any more, I will be out on my ass with nothing but my baby. I'm invested in a life with you, this new baby, and KJ. I don't know what I would do if somehow you didn't want that."

"Come here." I leaned the seat back as far as it would go and motioned for her to sit in my lap. Thankfully, my ride was pretty roomy, and she wasn't too big to her where she would be uncomfortable. It took Luck a second to get adjusted, but she was able to do as I asked.

"Khalil, what are you doing?" she moaned as I slid my hand up the inside if her dress. "I thought you wanted to talk."

"Nah..." I kissed her neck as I grazed my finger along the outside of her panties. Baby girl was already soaked. "What I want to do is relax you. You're stressing and worried over stupid shit."

"Me being scared of us not working out is stupid?" She threw her head back as I pushed her panties to the side and began strumming her clit. "Oh my gosh, baby!"

"I love the fuck out of you," I whispered in her ear as I kissed her lobe. "Nothing or nobody will be able to take me away from you or our family. If signing over everything I own over to you will give you peace of mind when it comes to us, I will do thatshit as soon as we get back home." I eased two fingers inside of her, and she gripped my shit immediately. Damn, I wanted to be inside of her.

We were so lost in what I was doing to her that all conversation ceased. I dug in and out of Luck, and her moans had my dick on ten. The sounds of her wet pussy over the hum of my engine were more melodic than any song the radio could ever play.

"Khalil..." she panted as she gripped my arm. Pinching her own nipple, she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. "Make me cum, baby, I'm so close."

"Let me have it then, mama," I growled as I sped up my movements. "Give daddy what he wants, baby. Make it rain all in this bitch."
