No, this nigga ain’t one of them talk-a-bitch-through-it niggas,she thought, mind blown.
“Grayson,” she whispered, teeth clenched as she leaned back onto the wooden desk.
“Yes, ma’am?” he asked, looking down at the puddles he was splashing in. It was his thumb that was doing the damage. He was riding her clit so hard that Stassi’s pussy lips clenched in excitement.
“I can’t wait all day,” she moaned. “God, I can’t wait.”
“If I didn’t have to make you, I wouldn’t, baby,” he whispered. “I don’t have condoms, and I promise you, these walls ain’t meant for screaming.”
She groaned as he removed his hand, but before she got up, he lowered his face, sliding those panties aside, and licked her from her taint to her clit, slurping her bud so long and hard that her back arched off the desk. Her head fell back in satisfaction, and her mouth opened. One lick. That was all she got. He removed her panties and put them in his pocket.
“I need those, sir,” she protested.
“I’ll return them when I’m done,” he replied, and Stassi’s pussy jumped again. The thought of how he planned to use those panties set her on fire. She didn’t know if he planned to smell them or beat off into them, but she was horny as fuck at the notion. She loved a nasty-ass man, and Grayson was proving that beneath the good boy image was a grown-ass man with a vicious sexual appetite. He was like an amusement park ride thatshe wasn’t tall enough to get on. She wanted to strap in anyway and take the ride of her life. Excitement flickered in her eyes, and she wanted to inquire more, wanted to evoke more of him. She wanted to know his kinks, his preferences, what got him off, and what turned him on. She wanted to watch this man do whatever he planned to do with those panties while she played with her pussy. Foreplay before the main event. This wasn’t the time nor place, however.
He was assertive in his touch, a bit rough, but still gentle enough to let her know he was only establishing dominance and not inflicting harm. He wrapped four fingers behind her face as he caressed her lips with his thumb. “I’m intrigued by you,” he admitted. “More than I care to be.”
“Same,” she shot back. “You’re a complication I never saw coming.”
“I’ll call you when I’m off to see if you’re still up for company,” he said.
He placed one last kiss on her lips, and Stassi made her exit. She walked out of the firehouse feeling exposed, like all her newfound friends knew Grayson had just had her in precarious positions.
“Bye, beautiful! Don’t forget to come see me after you get tired of that loser! He don’t know how to treat a lady!” one of the white boy rookies shouted. “I’ll drink your bath water and rub your feet and feed you strawberries in bed! Whatever you want!”
Grayson emerged and put the kid in a playful headlock. “That’s enough. Back to work,” he said.
She laughed. “Bye, fellas,” she said. She shot him one last flirtatious look before letting him get back to his day.
Stassi was smitten, and as she got in her car, Day’s name popped up on her phone. She didn’t even consider answering it. Somebody else had her attention.
“Oh my God! Lauren, he did not!”
Charlie held her hands over her mouth in shock as Lauren stood over the stove making homemade soup.
“I swear to God he did. Demi would run my baby raggedy. He swore DJ was his personal little servant. DJ, hand me the remote. DJ, go grab this, go grab that. Girl, he asked my four-year-old for some water, and I guess DJ said enough, damn it. That boy scooped Demi a cup right from the toilet bowl. Let him swallow it and everything.”
Charlie was in tears she was laughing so hard. “I know he diedddd!” she exclaimed.
Lauren nodded. “Served his ass right,” Lauren said. “Bet he didn’t ask DJ to get him nothing else ever again.”
“His OCD was probably in overdrive!” Charlie snickered.
“Girl, that man was detoxing for a week after that,” Lauren laughed. “I swear that feels like yesterday. They grow up so fast.”
Charlie leaned against the countertop and tried to fathom how things would be. “I just can’t imagine this baby being real. I mean, besides feeling sick, I really don’t feel like anybody’s mom. Like, what will this baby be like? Look like?”
“I remember asking those questions. I remember trying to envision how Demi and I would mix into one little face. Truth is, I could have never imagined how perfect our chemistry could be. You’re going to predict an entire little personality and appearance for this baby, and when it gets here, it’ll be more than you could have ever pieced together in your mind. God just works it out that way. Your baby will be a perfect blend.”
Lauren prepared a bowl for Charlie. “Try this. If you can’t stomach the veggies, you can just drink the broth. It literally gotme through all forty weeks of my pregnancy,” Lauren said. “You have to take better care of yourself, Charlie. It’s not just about you anymore.”
Charlie gave a halfhearted smile. “I always thought he’d be here to take care of me.”
Lauren lifted a brow. “Listen to me and hear me good. Don’t bank on anybody on this earth to take care of you and that baby, except for you. Don’t get me wrong, Demi ain’t one of these dead-beat-ass niggas out here. He’s going to do his part, but your part, themommyhoodof it all, is a 24-hour job that doesn’t let up. Nobody will know that baby like you. Nobody will love it like you. Nobody will care for it like you. Your priority must be you because if you’re not good, that baby isn’t good. Demi and everybody else come after you and your child. So, if he’s here to take care of you, cool, but if the day ever comes when he isn’t, or he can’t be around, you stand tall for you and yours. You’ll understand that more when you give birth. There is a switch that just flips. It tells you that you have the right to rip a motherfucker apart with your bare hands if they ever try to harm you or your kid. I don’t know. Motherhood turns you into a superhero or something. You’ll literally go to war with the world over your child.”
Charlie took a sip of the soup, and to her surprise, it didn’t make her gag.
“Mmm,” she moaned, closing her eyes as the soup warmed her entire body.
