“Nah,” I said, sittin’ up. “I’m comin’ to the crib. We not doin’ this bullshit over the phone.”
“Uh huh,” she muttered, then hung up right in my face.
I stared at the phone, shook my head, and grabbed my keys ‘cause this was my damn life. Toni get mad, I clean it up. Same loop, different fuckin’ day.
I drove through the island fast, barely blinkin’, and the whole time my chest was tight as hell ‘cause I knew Toni was mad, but underneath all that anger she was still hurt, and I hated whenshe was hurt behind some shit that didn’t even fuckin’ matter to me.
When I hit the gates, they opened quick like they already knew my car. I pulled up in the driveway, hopped out, and saw Toni out front standin’ with her arms folded and her attitude sittin’ on her shoulders like a second outfit.
She was waitin’ on me. She was mad and she was fine as fuck.
I walked right up to her, not breakin’ eye contact, and I let my chest touch hers until her back hit the door. She sucked in a breath even though she tried to hide it. I could feel the heat rollin’ off her body, the tension, the frustration and the want she was tryna pretend wasn’t there.
“Baby,” I said, leanin’ down over her so my breath brushed her neck. “I ain’t fuckin’ with her. She lyin’. You want my phone? You know the code. You can go through that whole bitch.”
“I don’t wanna see your phone,” she said, her voice a mix of attitude and somethin’ softer she couldn’t bury fast enough.
“Then why you trippin’?”
“I’m not trippin’.”
“You are,” I murmured, pressin’ my body closer against hers. “Ya voice shakin’. Ya hands shakin’. You mad as hell and you don’t even know why no more.”
“I know why,” she snapped, but her voice cracked, and that’s when I knew she was fightin’ the same shit I was.
It had been months of not touchin’ her, months of wantin’ her so bad my body felt empty without her, months of missin’ the only woman who could get in my head and in my heart at the same time, and all that build-up was sittin’ right here between us now, hot and loud and impossible to ignore.
I reached down and grabbed her hand, slidin’ my fingers between hers, and before she could pull away, I pushed her hand straight down the front of my pants.
She gasped, her eyes goin’ wide as her palm wrapped around how hard I was.
“You feel that?” I asked, my voice low and gritty. “That’s for you, Toni. Only you. Can’t no other bitch get me like this. You the only woman I’ve ever fucked raw, without a condom in my life. Ain’t nobody else I want touchin’ me. You got me walkin’ around this island hard as fuck behind you and you actin’ crazy with a nigga.”
Her fingers trembled around my dick, squeezin’ a lil’, and I guided her hand, makin’ her feel the veins runnin’ along my shit until her knees damn near buckled.
“‘Lo…” she whispered, tryna pull back but not really movin’ at all.
“Nah,” I said, slidin’ my other hand to her waist and pullin’ her closer. “Stop lyin’ to yourself. You want me just like I want you. You ain’t come out here in this short ass dress for nothin’.”
Her breathin’ got uneven and her lips parted when I lifted her up off the ground. Her legs wrapped around me before she even realized what she was doin’.
As soon as she was in my arms, pressed tight against me, I pressed her back against the door, put my mouth on her neck and dragged my tongue along her skin. She let out the softest whimper, holdin’ onto me, her head fallin’ back as I sucked along the curve of her throat.
Her hands was in my caressin’ the back of my neck, clingin’ to me like she was losin’ herself and findin’ herself at the same time.
My name slipped from her lips mixed with a moan, and I felt that shit down my spine.
I kissed her again, lower this time, lettin’ my tongue trace her pulse.
The tension between us was hot enough to spark a damn fire.
Her voice shook when she whispered, “Kay’Lo…”
I pulled back just enough to look her in her eyes, still holdin’ her up.
“You not goin’ nowhere,” I said soft, my voice rough with all the months I held back. “And I ain’t either.”
Her fingers tightened on my shoulders, and her whole body melted against mine as I kissed her neck again, suckin’ her skin until she moaned for me. We was both moanin’, and both givin’ in after fightin’ for months.
