“Mm, apologize to my dick. It’s wounded.”

“Only time yu cocky bruise a when mi pussy cut it up,” she drawled, and his dick twitched. “Knew you’re horny!”

“I can’t control how my dick reacts to what you say. You know what you’re doing, so stop it.”

She giggled. “Okay, I’ll stop. And I like this one.” She pointed at the screen. “We get to see your office and I want back this exact view… except, higher.”

“I figured, but I wanted to give you options.”

“Aww, that just have mi heart a beat dung the place so!” she exclaimed, turning her entire body around so she could kiss his lips. Slowly and sweetly, while his hands tangled in her hair and kept her in place.

His heart ran a marathon the longer they kissed, his lips tingling and hairs standing. With the way this woman always had him behaving, he felt like a prepubescent boy, but he didn’t mind at all.

Taeja owned him.

Since that night in the club, then at the hotel where she had him feasting on his knees.

Breathing heavily, Damon pulled away. He wiped his thumb across her kissed-swollen lips. They were parted slightly, the quick breaths fanning his skin somehow managing to make his dick harden more. He dragged his eyes away from them and met her eyes. Taeja’s eyelids were hooded, her irises dilated as she stared into his eyes.

Three words were on the tip of Damon’s tongue, desperate to be free. He was unsure if it was the ideal moment because every moment with her feltright. “Baby,” he breathed out, about to confess, when something stopped him.

A beep from one of his many computers.

He snapped his head around, his eyes scanning the screens until he found the one he was looking for.

“Damon,” Taeja whispered. “What happened?”

“We found your mother.”

The door opened, andshe smiled at Liyah. “Hey!”

Liyah stepped aside so Taeja could enter. “Why yu deh here so early on a Saturday?” she asked, closing the door.

“I can’t visit my best friend anymore?” Taeja pouted as she sat on the sofa.

“I didn’t say that. Is everything okay?”

“Yeah. I was on the road with Zain, but I wanted to see you. Mason deh here?”

Liyah smiled while walking further into the house. “He just left.”

“Why are you smiling?”

“Because we’ve been doing good,” Liyah replied. “The whole cheating saga is behind us… But he doesn’t know that I was only texting people, so he’s still convinced that I was cheating, too. That should keep him in check.”

Taeja laughed. “How did the dinner go?” she asked, and Liyah shrugged.

“Like every other dinner. I smile, laugh, and shake the hands of everyone he introduces me to, then they ask me when I’m joining the family.”

Taeja scoffed. “You told Mason you’re not ready to be married yet, right?”

Liyah nodded. “That was the first thing I told him in junior year when he brought it up.”

“Did he bring it up again?”

Liyah shook her head while entering the kitchen. She grabbed a glass from the cupboard and a bottle of orange juice from the fridge. While pouring, she said, “No. I told Mason several times already that not because everyone in his familygot married young, I’m going to be the one who makes him marry young, too. I have goals I want to achieve first.”
