Jacintha laughed quietly. That was often what people said when she wore Pure Soap or Warm Cotton from Clean Beauty.
“Thank you.”
“Nah, thank you.”
“For what?”
“Finally letting me see you. I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind since that night. I know you said you were good, but I wanted to see you for myself.”
“Why is that?”
Henry shrugged and placed a kiss to the top of her head. She found comfort in the fact that they weren’t face to face. That made it easier. Made her disconnect the man from the affection. Henry, Elite, it didn’t matter. Bianca was right—this was abouther.
“Just wanted to make sure you were straight.”
“Well, thank you. I’m good, as you can see.”
The waitress returned to their table, and Jacintha used that time to remove herself from his embrace. He ordered a beer and pizza, asking Jacintha if she’d gotten anything to eat yet. She told him no and ordered buffalo wings for herself.
“You play pool or darts?” he asked, to which she shook her head. Elite had always tried to teach her both so she wouldn’t just be in a corner on her phone when they were out with friends, but she hadn’t been interested.
“No, neither.”
“So you just came here for the drinks then?”
She giggled. “Yes… and to see you.”
“That’s all you tryna do?” He licked his lips as his eyes lowered down her frame. “See me?”
“What else do you want me to do with you?”
Henry smiled as his head tilted. “It’s what I want you to dotome.” He paused. “I want you to cum on my dick. Several times tonight, actually.”
Clearing her throat, Jacintha smiled. “There’s something I should tell you, Henry.”
“If it’s about you having a man, I don’t give a fuck about that shit. That ain’t got nothing to do with me and you, so it doesn’t have to be discussed.”
“Okay,” she agreed softly, feeling a weight remove from her shoulders. There was no point in her asking him if he was in a relationship at this point. If he was, he wouldn’t tell her. All she cared about was that he was clean and wouldn’t give her anything to take back to her husband. “You fucking anybody else?”
“Right now?” His head shook. “Nah.”
“So… You’re clean?”
“Yeah. I know you probably don’t want to just take my word for it, but I am. I get tested every six months.”
“Would you be okay with us getting tested together?”
“Yeah, that’s cool. Set it up and tell me where to be.”
Nodding, Jacintha relaxed more in her seat. “Okay, cool.”
“In the meantime…”
Henry used the front of her burgundy sweater to pull her closer. Her lips parted slightly in anticipation of his kiss. Heart stopping, she held her breath as Henry’s lips connected with hers. Her nipples hardened instantly. She gripped his thigh, fisting his jeans as his tongue slithered into her mouth. It could have been the warmth, the newness, or the riskiness of the situation… but her pussy instantly began to throb. He pulled back but kept his hold on her sweater as he stared into her eyes.
“Yeah, you’re going to be dangerous,” Jacintha realized.
“Nah.” He chuckled as he stood and pulled his wallet from his back pocket. “I’m probably the safest nigga you’ll ever fuck wit’.” She watched him drop a hundred-dollar bill onto the table before telling her, “Let’s get outta here.”
