“You want cold or hot cereal?” I teased.
“Anything you make is fine.”
“I’m teasing. Grits, eggs, bacon, and toast work for you?”
“As long as you have apple jelly,” he said with a smile.
“I think I happen to have some.”
“Good. I’m going to run home and get all this grass off me, and I’ll be right back. Is that cool?”
“Yeah, that should give me time to shower and make breakfast.”
“Come here,” he said, stepping closer and pulling my body to him.
“I’m right here.” I smiled up at him.
The smell of his sweat made me press my thighs together under the robe in an attempt to trap the trickle of moisture. There was never a time when he wasn’t absolutely sexy. Heslipped his hands inside and cupped my ass to draw me closer to him. My arms went around his waist to make sure he didn’t let go.
“Are we really doing this, Moonie?”
I dropped my eyes to his chest as I considered his question. I’d done well not to think too much into what was happening because I knew the repercussions. Still it felt so right standing here in his arms. How could something that felt so right be wrong? Key tipped my head up and pressed a quick kiss to my lips.
“Tell Big Daddy Key you’re gonna stop fighting him and play fair.” He smirked.
I rolled my eyes but couldn’t help but crack a smile. “Tell who?”
“Don’t act like you don’t know. Tell daddy you’re going to stop running and let him love you.”
“I’m trying, Keywan.”
“That’s all daddy needs,” he said, kissing my nose and smiling down at me.
“What time do you want to leave today? I don’t want to hold you up since you’re already up and at ’em.”
“I need to be there by six, but we can leave whenever.”
“Can we leave after breakfast? I want to lay on the beach for a while if we have time.”
“Anything, mama. Any more requests?” he quizzed.
“Not a request but a question. Am I coming to the shower? I just need to know how to pack.”
“Of course, baby. I’m not dragging you all the way up there just to leave you stuck in the house.”
“OK.” I nodded.
“I’m going to pack while I’m home. I’ll call you when I’m on the way back to you.”

Keywan
I slept like a newborn baby fresh out of the womb after being blessed with the best pussy I had ever had in my life. I guess I was fresh out of the womb too, and damn if I didn’t miss it already. I woke up before the sun came up feeling like I could run a marathon.
The softness of Iyla’s body kept me confined to the bed for another twenty minutes before I knew I had to get moving. There was a hardware store near her that opened at six in the morning. I drug myself away from her soft curves so that I could go get the motion lights and camera for her back yard.
I’d noticed that her grass was getting high too. I checked her garage and found a lawn mower. I knew that I had to move fast because she was going to try to stop me if she knew what I was doing. I went to get the light first.
