Page 81 of Treason's Temptation
Especially when he was between my legs, his scruffy voice speaking to my soul. Even the parts I hid.
You’re my Blue. My private addiction. The calm that makes me lose control.
You had that attitude for too long. Move your hand.
Why are you running from me, Blue?
I’ve been in hell missing you, and now you’re running from me, too.
You don’t have to trust the world, or even tomorrow. Just trust what you’re feelin’ right now.
Now I was daydreaming about us fucking instead of how to get the recreation centers more money before Miss Dot cursed me out. Thankfully, Daige came over to help because I had no idea what I was doing. But I was doing it, and Treason reminded me how proud he was this morning.
“All this hard work. Let’s hit happy hour after this,” Daige sighed after her last call.
“I’d love to, but it’s date night.”
“Aww, where are y’all going?”
“I don’t know. It’s a surprise.”
“Hmm, my favorite words.”
“You are crazy.”
“A lot of successful men think money is all they need to bring to the table. They’re so busy that they let the money compensate when they stop courting you and being appreciative. It makes up for all the patience and sacrifices, but it’s nice to see Treason isn’t one of them.”
“I honestly don’t know how he does it. I get tired just watching him.”
“You.”
“What?”
“You! Crazy,” Daige laughed, shaking her head like the answer was that obvious, “That’s how he does it. You give him something to look forward to at the end of the madness. That keeps him going. Keep making time for each other and don’t let bitches who wish they were in your spot trick you out of it.”
Thandie. There were only so many ways to regurgitate the same old story. The news cycle was moving on, and she should’ve been thankful. I was seconds from making Ward take me to handle it myself.
“I hear you,” I replied, turning at the sound of the elevator. Seconds later, Treason stepped off.
“Hey Treason,” Daige laughed and Treason’s eyes grew curious reading the room.
“Ladies,” he greeted, leaning over the couch to kiss me. “I need you ready by seven.”
“Yes, sir.”
“You can’t be talking to me like that in front of company.”
“You see what I’m dealing with?”
“I let her off the hook because it’s date night, but I need to borrow her for girls’ night soon.”
“She’s all yours.Pleasetake her,” he insisted.
“You wouldn’t last five minutes without me,” I scoffed, pretending to be offended, as he winked and disappeared into the back.
“Y’all are so cute.”
“He drives me nuts.”
