Page 72 of A Toxic Redemption

"Ohhh fucckkk!" Luck cried as she began to shake and released all over my hands. Baby, for sure, made a mess all over my seats, and I had never been so jealous in my life. "I love you so much, Khalil."

"I love you more, Lucky." I slowed my strokes after I made sure she gave me all she had. "Don't ever forget that shit."

Easing my fingers out of her, I brought my fingers to my mouth and licked off her juices. She grabbed the sides of my face and brought her lips to mine so she could taste her essence. All of this kissing and squirming had a nigga wanting to bust out of his jeans, but I didn't want to have her or my kid uncomfortable for too long.

"Thank you for that." She smirked as she cleaned us both up. When she eased her panties down her thighs just to pull up a fresh set, I eyed her curiously. "I can never be too safe these days."

"Whatever." I kissed her cheek and helped her back into her seat. "I meant what I said, baby. Stop tripping because you got a nigga, and I ain't going nowhere."

"I know." She sighed as I pulled out of the lot. The fellas have been blowing us up, so I know they're waiting on us. "It's just that what Lori said and what Bino mentioned—"

"Your friend was on some hating shit, and you know you can't take Bino seriously, so chill."

"I know." Luck did her little dance when we pulled into the parking lot at the restaurant. This girl loved to fuckin' eat. "We can start the process when we get back home. I'm on whatever you want, baby daddy."

Nodding, I was happy as fuck on the inside. Waking up to Lucky and my son was the highlight of my day, and I wanted it all the time. Helping her out of the car, I ensured her dress was in place before gripping her hand and leading her inside. Once we saw where everyone was seated, we made our way over.

"You look refreshed, cousin," Kira called Lucky out as we made our way to the table. "You okay?"

"Peachy." She smirked and shot her a bird. "I am fuckin' starving."

"Oh, hello," the server greeted us as she brought the others their drinks. I caught how Lori was mugging her, but I wouldn't say anything. "I'm Selena, and I'll be your server. Can I get you an appetizer and something to drink?"

"Two sweet teas, please." Luck smiled at her before she turned to me. "Baby, do you want an appetizer?"

"I'm good." I winked at her as I licked my lips, causing the others to laugh or groan. "You know that pu—"

"We will be ready to order when you come back," she cut me off like she knew what a nigga was about to say. "Thanks, love."

"Yeah, thanks, love," Bino repeated and winked, causing shorty to blush.

That was a bad move on his part.

"What the fuck?" Bino bellowed and jumped abruptly from his seat as Lori splashed her drink on him. The spot was crowded as hell, and all talking ceased. "What is wrong with you?"

"How dare you disrespect me and flirt with another bitch in my face?" she yelled.

"Yo, are you serious right now?" he gritted as he yanked the napkins from the table to dry his clothes. "Are you out of your mind, Lori?"

My phone, repeatedly vibrating in my pocket, pulled my attention away from them and their drama. Lori was beginning to show that she was a nutcase, and I made a mental note to talk to Luck about her friend. The girls were quiet, but I knew they were pissed. As I looked at my phone, I silenced the unknown number just for them to call back. I told Lucky I would be right back because I also saw my mother had called a few times.

"What the fuck?" I gritted as I stared at the phone.

The same number had sent me various pictures of my mother and son out and about over the past week. Some were as recent as today. The shit caused my blood to fuckin' boil, and I was ready to explode. It was one thing to fuck with me, but my kid was a negative. Before I could call my mother, Lucky came barreling outside in my direction with tears streaming down her face.

"Khalil, we have to get back home!" she cried. "The fire department called. My bakery is on fire!"

"Baby, calm down before you stress our kid." I held her as she cried against my chest. "It's going to be okay. I promise."

"Khalil, we got to go, bro." Bino and Jake came stalking over. "Now."

"Yeah, I know. Luck told me about the fire and—"

"Nah, man, that's not the only reason," Bino cut me off as he looked at me sympathetically. "Your dad just called me. Kaine snatched KJ."
