“Fuck. Keep bouncing on this dick. I’m about to nut. Pop that pussy on my shit.”
That was all it took. After his words, I nearly fell off him. I couldn’t control the jerks my body made. It caused me to fall to my knees and my head to go to his shoulder. Jamel lifted his hips again and fucked me into next week as he chased down his nut. When he came, he growled out, “Ooooh fuck!”
I loved watching his facial expressions when he nutted. It was a deep frown, but it was also a look of passion and immense pleasure. We remained still for a moment, then he kissed my cheek. “I love fucking you, but I can’t wait to really indulge tonight. I’ma show you everything I learned over the years all in one night. So get ready for that.”
“I’ll always be ready for you, baby.”
“Baby, huh? This is your first time calling me that. I must be reaching your core.”
I smiled slightly then fell to his side as I felt my cheeks heat up. The way I was falling for this man in such a short amount of time was crazy as hell. However, I supposed we were both getting to know one another within those five months. That night he stood up for me, would be forever grained in my mental though. As I thought about it, I asked, “Did you tell me everything that guy said about me a couple of weeks ago?”
He turned his head away from me, and I could see the playful expression on his face disappear. “Naw. You didn’t need to know everything he said. Just know that it was inappropriate, and Jungle got at him about that shit.”
“Sounds like I need to meet this Jungle. Besides thanking you for having my back, I need to thank him too.”
“I want you to meet everybody in my family. Although Jungle isn’t blood, he recently informed me that he looks at us as his family. He works with my boy Ali from time to time.”
I nodded as I palmed his cheek. It was so hard to fathom why he cared so much for me. It wasn’t that I didn’t think I deserved it, but… I didn’t know. Maybe the way my dad treated my mama affected me more than I thought it did. It made me less trusting of men. Everything I thought I knew about him had been shattered after he died. He was a fucking jackass and now it was like I expected all men to be like him in some way when it came to women.
I pulled away from Jamel to go take a shower, but he pulled me right back and kissed my lips. “Let’s get ready to get you that job. I’m gon’ always have your back, Sandrene. Never forget that.”

Amiko was so beautiful.Her tanned skin glowed in the sunlight. She had a long ponytail that hung down her back, and her makeup was slayed to the gods. When we arrived, she had a damn army with her. Hopefully they all didn’t come inside. When Jamel got out of the car, another guy approached and slapped his hand. I wanted to believe that was Jungle. Once he opened my door, he grabbed my hand, assisting me from my seat. “Damn! I see you, Mel!” the man I assumed to be Jungle said.
Jamel chuckled. “This is my lady, Sandrene,” he said, responding to Jungle’s antics. “Sandrene, this is Jungle.”
I smiled and extended my hand. “Since you know my government, what’s yours?”
He grabbed my hand and kissed it as Jamel frowned and jerked my hand from his. Jungle fell out laughing. “Milton, but don’t tell nobody that shit. What other name you go by?”
“Obsession.”
“Word?TheObsession?”
He looked over at Jamel, and I could see the smirk on his face. Jungle already knew who I was. “This man been after you for a while. Glad it worked out. Y’all come on.”
We followed behind him, and when we got to Amiko and her husband, I could hear them speaking Spanish to one another. Before Jungle could say a word, she pushed him out of the way. “Hello! You must be Sandrene. You’re so beautiful. I’m Amiko.”
“Hi. You’re beautiful as well. Thank you for this opportunity.”
“If Jungle speaks up for you, then you must be the best. He doesn’t gas anybody up but himself.”
“A’ight, na. Don’t make me handle yo’ ass in front of your husband.”
Ignoring Jungle, she continued. “This is my husband, Smoke. He owns Pilar’s.”
“Oh! Nice to meet you. This is my boyfriend, Jamel.”
We all shook hands as Amiko smiled, then they followed me inside. When I turned my head, I noticed only her husband and Jungle had followed behind Mel and Me. I was grateful for that. There had to be twenty other niggas outside. The minute we walked inside, Tip ran to me and hugged me tightly. “Congratulations, sweetie. I knew you had more inside of you. I was just waiting for you to find it. How in the hell you know the kingpin of the southside and damn near all of Houston?”
I lifted my brow and asked, “Who?”
“Jungle Patterson.”
“I didn’t know he was a kingpin. He’s friends with my boyfriend.” Turning to Amiko, I got her attention and introduced her to Tip. They exchanged pleasantries, and I followed Tip toward the stage. “I’m gonna dance to ‘When You Dance’ by Tank.”
“Oooh. I loved that one. Be right back.”
