I giggled, and I waved the bartender over and ordered us both another drink. When I went to pay for it, he placed his hand on mine, shook his head, and handed his credit card over. We chatted for about fifteen minutes, when I finally drummed upthe courage to ask, “Do you want to be my distraction tonight, Legend?”
He chuckled. “You married, beautiful?”
“Hell no. I don’t play those games.”
“You got a man, Legacy?”
“No. I’m on a rebound. I’m looking for the perfect distraction tonight to get over this two-year thorn in my side.”
“A distraction?”
“Yeah. Not a love affair. Just a good, hard fuck for one night.”
“You don’t want to do this, ma.”
The sting of rejection flowed through me, and I felt my face grow warm. “Fine. I’ll find someone else who will.” I slid off my stool, but he grabbed my wrist.
He glanced around the bar before he replied. “I’ll take you up on your offer. The Regency across the street?”
“That works for me. Let me tell my girls goodbye.”
I rushed away and found Mauri and then Josi. I told them where I was going and who I was going with, and Mauri made sure my location was on.
“Text me your room number, ho.”
“I will.”
I walked back to where Legend stood waiting for me. He grabbed my hand and led me out of the bar and across the street. I stood beside him at the counter as he got us a room and paid for it.
I took the time to check out the way the light blue jeans fit his body, specifically his ass, which looked like I could take a bite out of. He was fine as hell. Roughly six-one, muscular, but not overtly so. He had the muscular build of a baseball player, not too tall like a basketball player, and not too big like a football player. He was somewhere in between the two, and I loved that.
When we arrived in the suite, he grabbed the phone.
“What are you doing?” I asked nervously.
“Chill ya ass out. I’m just ordering room service. With all that liquor you drank, ya lightweight ass needs something to counterbalance it.”
I breathed a sigh of relief before I dropped down on the couch beside him.

Legend Mekhi Waters
Iglanced at my watch and saw that it was two minutes after eleven. I would be late, but shit, she could hold still for a while. After all, I was always the one who was on time and making exceptions for her. It was her damn fault we were in this place anyway.
I sighed and dragged my hand down my face. The covers shifted before Legacy sat straight up in bed. Her chest was heaving, and she looked to the left before she turned right. When her golden eyes rested on my face, they widened, and then her face relaxed.
She tossed the sheets off her body and frowned when she looked down. Looking back up at me, she scowled. “Did we?—”
“No, ma’am. Your virtue is still intact.”
Although she looked visibly relaxed, her words contradicted her expression. “Why not? I didn’t bring you up here to watch me sleep.”
“Actually, you didn’t bring me up here. I brought you up here. And I did bring you up here to watch you sleep.”
“Why?”
“Because you needed to sleep off that alcohol you consumed. Clearly, it impaired your judgment.”
