Page 27 of If I Gave You My Heart
Adonis gave me a T-shirt and a pair of shorts to sleep in. When he went to the restroom, I took that moment to change clothes. I tossed on the shirt and then put the shorts on the carpet beside the nightstand. I didn't see the sense and putting them on because I knew how I wanted the night to end for me. Being that I had been in his bed before, I didn't act like a stranger. I pulled the covers back and then got myself comfortable.
I felt myself getting comfortable around this man, and I loved this for me. My purse with my gun tucked inside of it was clear across the room, and I didn't have that weird feeling in my stomach because of it. He knocked on the door twice before pushing it open. He stuck his head in.
"I'ma sleep downstairs. Are you good up here?"
"Bullshit…" I pulled back the covers on the other side of the bed and then tapped the spot. "Sleep next to me, please."
The corners of Adonis' mouth lifted, and those pearly whites peeked under those soft lips. I loved he was a gentleman, but badly, I wanted him to treat me like a slut and in the worst way.
Chapter 7
Adonis
Nyoka had this look in her eye as she watched me close the door and then walk into my room. Like she said, the sauna did puff her hair up, but it was still cute. She sat in front of me with the blanket covering her lower half and one of my workout shirts on. Her nipples were hard, so I kept looking at them. I took off my shirt and then came out of my jeans. I was reaching in one of my drawers for a pair of pajama pants when her voice stopped me dead in my tracks.
"Come lay down just like that."
Nyoka didn't have to tell me twice. I walked to the side of the room that I never slept on and then got into the bed. I grabbed the remote off the nightstand and held the button to make my request with Alexa.
"PlayAmerican Horror Story," I spoke slowly and clearly.
"You watched this too?" she asked with so much excitement in her voice.
I personally couldn't get past the first season, but I remember her mentioning earlier in the day that is what she was watching.
"I saw the first season, but that's about it."
I really just wanted Nyoka to be comfortable there with me. This was only her second time being here, but every time I turned my head, Talia was walking around this muthafucking. I was starting to think that these girls didn't even have a crib the way Talia was always here. A little piece of me was jealous because I wanted Nyoka to be just as comfortable as her cousin was.
"Just the first season? Man, I binge this whenever we get close to Halloween. It just sets the tone for the holiday."
"I mean, I guess."
I handed Nyoka the remote because I didn't know where she had left off. She grabbed it from me and then started scrolling through the seasons.
"Do you have any plans for Halloween?" she asked.
"Nah… you?"
"Talia wants to go to this Halloween party in Athens. I'm thinking about it."
"What you gone go as?"
Nyoka stopped scrolling through the episodes and twisted her face like she was thinking.
It was cute as shit how her button nose crinkled up in the process.
"Kill Bill."
I laughed because Nyoka was the sweetest-looking girl. She was hood as fuck, but I could tell that her heart was golden.
"So, you're gone be killing shit on Halloween?" I asked with a chuckle.
"I kill shit all the time."
She made eye contact with me.
"You're cute," I said as I tapped her on the lips. "Are you gone wear that leather yellow suit?"
