“Nigga, which hoe you’re with tonight? I’m in town, and I wanted to see you.”
Trying to move to get drinks, he glowered while holding me in place. “I’m with my best friend tonight, so I’ll catch you another time.”
“Oh, her pussy must be top notch for you to be calling her yourbest friend.” I heard her and another girl giggle in the background. “I bet hers ain’t better than mine.”
“Ava, is it?” I chimed in because she wasn’t going to talk about me like I was some random whore. “Let’s not do that. I don’t know what y’all tolerate from Adrian, but he knows disrespect isn’t going to fly with me from him or any of his birds. Furthermore, my pussyistop notch, but Adrian wouldn’t be ableto agree because I don’t spread my legs as easily as most. Now, as he stated, I have his time tonight. Hit him tomorrow—maybe he’ll be free.”
Ending the call myself, I got up from the couch, leaving Adrian chuckling and calling my name. I was used to his brashness when he spoke to his harem, but I wasn’t going to listen to someone talk shit about me, whether they knew me or not.
“Aye, man, come here.” He wrapped his arms around my waist as I got us bottles of water. Kissing my neck, a small shiver ran down my spine. “Ava was just talking shit. She didn’t mean anything by it.”
“You can joke with your friends all day, but I draw the line with them speaking on me.” I shrugged him off me. I wasn’t mad; I just needed a little space between us. It’s been a while since I’ve been intimate, and Adrian had a way of making me feel things I shouldn’t. It’s probably why I got so aggravated. The sexual tension between us was only escalating day by day. “I’m not going to have someone who wants your attention call me out of my name, whether they’re serious or not. I don’t play like that.”
Nodding, he grabbed my hand and led me back into the living room. The movie was just starting when he pulled me into his arms. A few minutes went by before I heard him calling someone on his cell.
“Nigga, who the fuck?—”
“Ava,” he spoke sternly as he interrupted her. “You gotta chill on Kodi. She’s never once called you out of your name, and I’d appreciate it if you gave her the same respect. She’s right, she’s not some hoe I’m fucking, so I’m not going to let you or anybody treat her like that for a laugh at her expense.”
There were a few moments of silence before she spoke again and asked, “You’re serious right now?”
“Deadass.”
“Oh, wow.” She simpered lowly. “I apologize for any disrespect. I didn’t mean to offend her.”
“Bet,” was all he said before he disconnected the call. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me more into his lap to get comfortable. With my head on his shoulder, I couldn’t help but giggle.
“The fuck you laughing at, Kodi?” he groaned. “This damn movie ain’t that good to be doing all this damn giggling and shit.”
“Thank you.” I glanced up at him, finding his eyes already on me. “You just earned a lot of points from me by doing that.”
“Do these points equate to pussy?” He smiled with his voice sounding so hopeful. “I’ll have you know that I haven’t touched a woman in almost two weeks, so you can get all this work.”
“Your fan club?—”
“I haven’t stuck my dick into anybody since our date at the lake.” I searched his eyes for deceit, but there wasn’t any. “My mind has been on you, and you alone. I don’t know what the fuck you’re doing to me, girl, but you demand all of my time and attention. Funny thing is, I don’t mind giving it all to you.”
“We’re just friends, Adrian.” I lifted up from him. “Am I attracted to you? Of course, but I don’t want to blur the lines with us and ruin the friendship.”
“What if I want to be more than friends?” he asked with a straight face. “I know you think a nigga got a lot going on, but I want you.” He licked his bottom lip before dragging his eyes down my body. Gripping my hips with his large hands, he brought his eyes back to mine as he kneaded his fingers into my thick waist. Nothing about the motion made me ticklish. “I’m a grown-ass man, Kodi. Just give me a chance to show you.”
Nibbling my bottom lip, I thought about the things he’d said. I know Adrian wasn’t going to change overnight. I know he couldpossibly be spewing words that sounded good just to sample my pussy. As we sat here with him rubbing all over me, I could feel him hardening beneath me. He wanted me as much as I wanted him. Against my better judgment, I wanted to give in to my desires, even if for just one night.
Placing my hands on his cheeks, I brought his face to mine. I pecked his lips a few times before easing my tongue between his lips, kissing him slowly and sensually. I thought the first kiss on our lunch date was something, but this one surpassed it. I knew exactly what it was about Adrian that was driving me crazy, and I wanted him, so tonight, I’d have him.
“Adrian…” I panted, gripping the back of his head as he sucked my earlobe and gripped my ass that was planted in the palms of his hands. “Fuck me.” His movements faltered at my request. “We can go back to being friends tomorrow…”
“Are you sure?”My heart thumped in my chest as I peered down into her lust-stricken eyes. “I know I said I wanted the pussy, but we don’t?—”
Sliding from my lap, she smirked sexily as she stood to her feet. I watched as she gripped the bottom of her gown and brought it over her head, dropping it to the floor. Before me was hands down the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Her titties were just big enough for me to palm, and her ass sat up like two midget bitches in heels. It was that wet triangle between her legs that I knew was going to change my life for the better, or worse, as I gazed at it. If it was as good as I thought it was, I was a goner. Life as I knew it was about to change.
“What’s wrong?” She looked down at herself before bringing her eyes back to me. “I know my stomach isn’t washboard flat and my thighs touch, but—Adrian!”
Picking up her naked body, I threw it over my shoulder and stumbled up the stairs to her bedroom. It was my first time in here, but just like the rest of her townhouse, it was clean and organized. In the middle of her room sat her plush California King bed, draped in her favorite color: green. Throwing her in the middle of the bed, I pulled my phone from my pocket and handed it to her.
“000922 is the code to my phone. Gon’ and check out that MyChart, my baby.” I stumbled backward, trying to get my leg out of my damn joggers. “I’m about to fuck your world up.”
Giggling lowly, I watched as she strolled through my phone without a care. I had a clean bill of health, and I wanted her to know it. I don’t run up in women raw, but Kodi was going to be an exception if she let me.
