“And you fear that?”
“Somewhat. I just don’t want to lose my business to the riffraff.”
He laughed. “Yo, where the fuck did that come from?”
“It was the only way I could describe it.” I turned my body so that I was on my side looking directly in his face. “How was your day?” that was something I never really asked.
“Much longer than yours.”
“Why?”
“Everybody wanna call themselves the king of the streets, but don’t nobody wanna put in the work to maintain that shit.”
I nodded, with no real response in mind.
“I heard you got a visitor today.”
“My eyes narrowed. You heard, or you have somebody watching me?” When he didn’t move I closed my eyes resting them from the day.
“Lil’ bit of both, but only for yo’ protection. You wanna tell me about yo’ visit?”
“There’s really nothing to tell. She came there to check me about a man I have no dealings or ties to. Apparently he’s beenlying to her though. Telling her that he’s taking care of my child and little things like that. And no, I don’t need you to go see about him, because it wouldn’t be worth it.”
He was quiet for too long, which made me open my eyes to see his face. The moonlight through the window reflected off his face, and there a smirk sat carved into his features.
“I’m serious, Cartrek.” I look up at his now hovering face.
“Ain’t nobody gonna go fuck with that nigga, as long as he keeps his fucking distance. He can lie all he wants, that’s his business.” His hand found its way under my shirt massaging my side.
“Thought you told me to go to sleep,” I teased knowing damn well what was next.
His body between my legs and face inches away from mine gave me my answer before his lips did. “I did, but you smell good as fuck.” Warm lips made contact with my neck, at the same time as his fingers made contact with my bare flesh under the covers. “Borderline fucking edible.”
KenScentuals That Girl for the win.Within seconds he snatched the cover off and sat up on his knees looking at me with eyes that told me he was ravenous.
With one hand on my knees, holding them apart he closed the gap up between us, using the other to massage my slick folds.
“Condom?” I asked.
He shook his head no, before greedily assuring me he’d pull out.

Cartrek- A Few Weeks Later
When I woke up this morning, I smelled coffee and knew I wasn’t at my place. Hell I hadn’t spent much time at my place as of lately. I found myself wrapped up in Peach’s sheets with her body under mine more days than I cared to count. It was nice and the air that surround her was beautiful, shit her and lil’ mama kept a nigga content. They had me on something that I had never been on, not even with Mia. It even had me questioning if I ever really let my guard down around Mia. Of course niggas were naturally guarded from past trauma and all that good stuff, but with Peach some things just flowed naturally. She didn’t ask too many questions or badger. She went with the flow, which made me want to be open with her. It made me want to discuss things with her that I usually kept in my head.
I finally climbed out of her Tiffany blue clean scented sheets, I went to the washroom to take a piss and take care of my hygiene. Then I found myself at my duffle bag pulling out a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt. After I slipped my clothes on, I went to the nightstand to check my phone. Of course I had a missed call from my brother, and another from Aysun, but there was no 9-1-1s or anything, so I continued comfortably into the kitchen to see what shorty had cooked.
When I reached the kitchen I saw that she had her phone to her ear and she was talking. I made out part of her conversation, and immediately realized she was talking to Jovie.
“Get off my phone talking about an Ace baby, Jovie.” Shelaughed, not realizing I was right behind her.
She sat her phone down several seconds later, right before she turned around and saw me. She almost jumped out of her skin. “Jesus, you scared me.” She held her chest attempting to catch her breath.
“My bad.” I kissed the side of her face then went around and took a seat at the island. She had this motherfucker smelling good as fuck.
She nodded, getting back into her groove. “How’d you sleep?”
