My girl’s place was fire.. Everything was clean and soft but expensive with rose gold accents everywhere, silver fixtures catchin’ the light and white furniture lookin’ untouched like she didn’t let just anybody sit wherever. The whole spot felt feminine without bein’ fragile, but powerful without bein’ loud, and it fit her perfectly.

“You got this shit smellin’ like a magazine, girl.”

She walked ahead of me, her wide hips swayin’ like she knew I was watchin’. “You always got somethin’ to say.”

I paused and sniffed the air exaggerated as hell.

She stopped and turned around. “What the hell is wrong with you?”

I sniffed again, real dramatic, then shook my head. “I don’t smell no food.”

Her eyes narrowed. “Renza…”

“Girl the only meal I smell in here is yo’ ass,” I finished, grinnin’ wide. “And that ain’t holdin’ my stomach over for too long.”

She laughed and walked over, pushin’ my chest lightly. “I didn’t think you was comin’ for real. You know you like to stand me up.”

“Showin’ up late don’t mean I stood you up,” I said, honest but playful. “It just mean I got here when I got here.”

She studied my face for a second like she was decidin’ if she was gon’ accept that or keep her lil’ attitude alive. “You be sayin’ that shit a lot.”

“And I be showin’ up a lot,” I shot back.

That got another eye roll, but she turned toward the bedroom anyway, tellin’ me to give her a minute to get dressed. Of course I followed her, ‘cause where else was I gon’ be?

She moved around the room pullin’ clothes together while I leaned against the doorframe, watchin’ her like a man starvin’in front of a buffet. I licked my lips without even realizin’ it and shook my head.

“I don’t know if I’m hungry for real food or you,” I said.

“Don’t start nothin’ you can’t finish,” she said, slow and smooth. “Be careful what you ask for before I make you forget you even wanted food,” she said, reachin’ for a fitted crop top and a pair of high-waisted jeans that hugged her just right.

“Shid… say less.”

I pushed off the doorframe and walked up behind her slow, lettin’ my presence hit her before my hands did. The second I touched her waist, her whole body shifted back into me like her balance changed without her permission. I leaned in and put my mouth on her neck, draggin’ my lips across her skin in a long, deep kiss that made her shoulders drop. I ate that spot up.

I kissed her again, lower this time, then sucked at her pulse until I felt her legs soften. Her breath got heavier, her chest risin’ like she needed air, and I smiled against her neck ‘cause that’s exactly what I wanted.

“I’on even know why you playin’ with me, girl,” I whispered, lettin’ my lips trail up to her ear before I sucked her there too.

Her hand lifted like she wanted to push me off, but it never landed.

Her fingers just hovered, then slowly curled into my arm like she needed somethin’ to hold onto.

“Renza…” she whispered, and her voice was already different, softer and shaky, like I had pulled somethin’ loose in her that she couldn’t tuck back in.

I slid my hand down her stomach, grippin’ that muthafucka tight, then moved down her hip and pulled her tighter against me, kissin’ up her neck again, deeper and slower, until she leaned all the way into me. Her head tilted to the side without her thinkin’ about it, givin’ me access to every inch I wanted.

“That’s what I thought,” I said against her skin, my voice low and amused. “All that talk just to melt as soon as I put my mouth on you.”

Her knees dipped and she grabbed the dresser for balance, but I ain’t let up. I sucked at her neck again, then licked the spot we both liked, movin’ my tongue across her skin like I planned to keep goin’ until she begged me to stop.

She wasn’t breathin’ right no more. She was tryna keep it together, but her body was givin’ her up piece by piece.

“You still wanna tell me what I can and can’t finish?” I whispered, kissin’ down toward her shoulder, lettin’ my teeth graze her gently.

She swallowed hard and tried to walk off, but her legs ain’t cooperate fast enough. She had to steady herself before she found her voice again.

“Okay,” she said, breathin’ deep like she needed to reset. “Let’s go get somethin’ to eat.”
