“Yeah, I do.”
She ran through her appointments, remembering there wasn’t one until eleven, so staying wouldn’t be an issue. However, she would double-check her memory against her mobile calendar just to make sure.
“None of your little friends are gonna pop up, are they?” Joi was half-joking but really wanted to know if he brought other women to his home.
“They might but I won’t let them in.” East grinned but Joi found nothing amusing about it.
“So this is normal?”
“Depends on what you mean bythis?” East tugged at Joi a little more, spreading her thighs a little wider while he waited. None of what he was doing with her wasnormal. East had sex with women at his home but had never asked one of them to stay. Some had by default of it being late and falling to sleep after too much to drink but it damn sure wasn’t at his request.
With Joi, he wanted her there. East wanted her in his bed and wanted to know what it felt like to wake her up by sliding between her thighs with a dick so hard she likely wouldn’t be able to receive in its entirety due to still being sore from the dick he gave her the night before. So no, this shit wasn’t normal. Not even close.
“This, meaning having women at your house.”
East chuckled and pressed his hands into the counter once more, lowering himself to her height. Their eyes met beforehe brushed his lips across hers then sucked her bottom one between his lips, gently tugging before he released it again.
“You know the last time I had my head between a woman’s legs?”
“No I don’t but I’m sure you’re going to tell me, aren’t you?” East smirked and nodded.
“I was sixteen years old. It was my first time having sex.” He threw his head back, laughing at the memory of how terribly wrong the experience ended.
“You expect me to believe that?” Joi shivered from the memory of how he had just snatched her entire soul with his mouth in a way that ruined her for life.
“Yeah actually I do because it’s the truth. I watched so much damn porn I thought I was a pro. When I actually tried it, she asked me what the fuck I was doing and told me to stop. Now that I think about it, I really didn’t know shit.” East laughed at himself.
“So you just magically learned and got good at it?” Joi narrowed her eyes at East, not appreciating the conversation or his amusement with it.
“I don’t know, shawty, was it good?”
“East?” Joi groaned with narrowed eyes which only had him laughing again.
“I guess so because that’s my word. I don’t have a reason to lie. I can make a few calls if you want confirmation. I only did it once before you. I never wanted to because she fucked with my head when she damn near laughed at me. Plus the older I got, the more I realized my dick was enough. Women weren’t straight with that, but they had to be. I wasn’t interested in eating pussy. Doing so was about them and not me and I guess you can say I was selfish.” He grinned slowly. “So if I did that shit right, pat yourself on the back, because it was motivated by you. I did what felt natural.”
Fuck a pat on the back, I need to give you a standing ovation.
“So you don’t care about pleasing a woman?” Joi rolled her eyes, not believing it. East’s ego was too damn big not to care.
“Nah not really but don’t get it fucked up. I knowhowto please a woman. I just never put any effort into doing so. By default they got theirs, because let's face it, I’m blessed and know what to do with it, but that’s all they got from me, a big dick and a deep stroke.”And there’s that ego I knew existed.
Joi’s eyes rolled instantly even though inwardly she agreed. She wouldn’t deny that she could still feel his handiwork right now. “Is there a point to this?”
“You asked me if this is normal, so I’m making my point. No, it’s not. I’ve had women at my house but with them it was just a quick nut. I wanted to please you. I also never asked a woman to stay with me, but I’maskingyou.”
“So you never had a woman spend the night?”
“I didn’t say that. What I said was I neverasked. It happened but it wasn’t planned. Stop trying to find ways to separate yourself from other women I’ve dealt with before you. It’s not necessary. They’re not you and you’re not them. No comparison, shawty. Not even close. You can either trust that or not but it’s the truth.”
Joi studied East for a moment longer and he saw her mind working overtime on things that weren’t relevant, so he exhaled a short breath.
“Look, I’m not trying to shoot you a bunch of bullshit. I have a lot with me, so I’m not going to try to convince you I’m a perfect catch or this is some fairytale I know y’all women create in your crazy ass heads. All I’m saying is I don’t do relationships. They slow you down and get in the way. They twist things for people and make them do stupid shit. I never wanted that. I know you said we’re friends, but evenfriendsis a lot for me. Idon’t tie myself to people in ways that lead to exceptions. That’s not my shit, but I’m gonna be whatever you say we are if I get to have you. Just know I’m likely gonna fuck up based on your expectations, because it’s just inevitable. Also know I’ll do my best to make it right. That’s all I have for you, but that’s a hell of a lot more than I’ve ever given orwantedto give anyone else.”
Joi searched his face like she was waiting to expose the lie, but eventually she nodded and leaned into East, pressing her lips to his. “I want that, then.”
“You sure?”
Nodding slowly, she kissed him.
