“Of course.”
She nods and walks over to Dani, grabbing her hand and pulling her away from the pool area.
I rub my hands down my face.
That woman is going to be the death of me, and I will welcome it like an old friend when it comes.
I stand up to make my way to my room, stopping to make a few phone calls on my way. If Janelle won’t do things for herself then I’ll do them for her.
Arnold: Everyone meet in the lobby in ten minutes
Christian: Ima need more than ten fam
Arnold: …
Micah: Please tell me you’re not texting while having sex
Christian: What do you wanna hear?
Micah: I thought Tiana ditched you for Eve
Christian: Who said anything about Tiana?
Arnold: You got thirty minutes or your ass is getting left
Christian: I can make that work
Me: That ain’t the flex you think it is
Christian: *middle finger emoji*
Knowing that the guys are occupied, I switch over to my text thread with Janelle.
Me: You alone?
Her reply is damn near instant.
J: Yeah why?
I don’t need to hear anything else. I shove my phone in my pocket and head out to Janelle’s room. When I get to her hallway, she’s walking to her door with what looks like a candy bar in hand. She looks good as hell. She’s wearing a white crop top that stops just below her breastbone. Her silver belly button ring stands out against her brown skin and the gold waist beads adorning her torso. Her white skirt is ruched at the top and the right side flows to her ankle while the left side sits completely open, showing off another gold chain wrapped around her thigh. My mouth waters at the sight of her.
I rush over and wrap my hand around her waist, slamming her back against her door.
Her eyes widen at my touch and widen even more when she sees it’s me, but once I press the weight of my leg between her thighs, they relax into a lustful gaze.
“Rome, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” She teases her bottom lip with her teeth and looks around the empty hallway.
“I wanted to see you.” I bury my head into the crook of her neck and lick a trail up the base. She squirms under my touch, grinding against my leg. She lets her exposed thigh fall open slightly exposing her pretty pussy covered with a strip of lace.
“Mmm, oh my God, are you trying to get us caught?”
“Would it really matter if we did?” I’m talking out of my ass right now, allowing my need for her to take over my common sense. I know she doesn’t want to get caught with me and I know why, but it doesn’t change the fact that being with her feels so damn good. And right.
“Rome. You don’t want the shitstorm that would be people finding out about us any more than I do.”
Now, that’s where she’s wrong. I had reservations in the beginning but the moment I slid between her thighs they melted away. I would announce our relationship, if you can call it that, to the world.
“Word?” She averts her eyes, but I grab her chin and force her to look at me. “Nah, look me in my eyes’cause I wanna make sure you hear me. I’m a grown-ass man, J. I’m not afraid of getting caught. The only reason I’m hiding shit from anyone is because it’s what you want.”
