“Really?” I found myself getting choked up.
“My moms said children don’t attach titles to people unless they mean something. Well, the same thing goes for me. I’m not asking you to be his mom or take on any roles you feel you can’t handle. I’m just asking that you keep in mind what being with a man like me comes with now that you know the full scope of things.”
I leaned over the center console and kissed his lips. “I can handle it.”
He grabbed the back of my head and stuck his tongue in my mouth, kissing me nastily like there wasn’t a toddler in the backseat. Sucking my bottom lip into his mouth, he pulled back slowly.
“You’re fired,” he said simply. “Write down some things you wanna get into. Goals that you have or whatever. But after how nasty I’m ‘bout to fuck you tonight, you can no longer be my nanny.”
“En…”
“I got your severance package put together already. Come on, let’s go inside.”
I had never been happier to be fired in my life. I watched Enzo take EJ out of the car seat, and my heart swelled. I could see me building a family around the two of them, and one thing they’d never have to worry about was me leaving.
CHAPTER 16
Happily Ever After With A Sullivan
DANAE
If somebody would’ve told me that I’d be locked inside of Aura Sullivan’s penthouse for two days and didn’t feel the urge to run, I would’ve told them they were just as delusional as his ass. But here I was, laid across his couch, in his lap, with nothing on but a lace bra and his boxers. It was the most peaceful I’d been in a long time, and it felt so good. We hadn’t left the house for anything since Amil’s Galentine’s Day dinner. Between fucking each other’s brains out, debates over who had the best taste in movies, and Nerf gun wars that often ended with me hiding behind the kitchen island, yelling out I surrendered, we’d been in our own little world.
The amusement on my face when he ordered the Nerf guns off Instacart in the middle of one of our debates was pure comedy. This morning, we woke up, made breakfast naked, ate naked, and spent the rest of the day lounging around, watching movies, the movies we debated on. I smiled and squeezed my thighs together, thinking about how he’d come up behind me after breakfast while I loaded the dishwasher. Lifting my leg, he ate my pussy like he hadn’t just had a hot meal.
His phone buzzed under me, pulling me out of my nasty thoughts. I sat up a little for him to grab it.
“Another reminder message from Kyiris,” he said.
I laughed. “What she say?”
He held the phone up and read the message out loud.
Kyiris: Y’all betta be on time to my party, or I’m disowning y’all, and I’m not playing.
“I’m ‘bout to not go just to call her bluff.”
I rolled over so that I was on my stomach and looked over at him. “Oh, you going. As a matter of fact, lemme show you the pajamas we wearing.” I got up to grab the bag with our stuff in it from the side of the couch and pulled out the pajama set.
When I turned around to show him, I had to fight to keep a straight face. I held up the silk red set with pink hearts all around the top and bottom. It was loud, loud as hell.
“And who you think wearing that in or out the house witchu?”
I peeked through the sleeve. “This is our matching set, bae. Valentine’s Day themed.”
“You lost your mind if you think I’m putting that on. Shit, I wouldn’t even let you walk outta here with that shit on. Go online and see what you can find on Macy’s, Gap, something. But we ain’t wearing that.”
I couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. “You not about to have me out here looking crazy, baby?” I walked back over to him and straddled his lap.
“I said us, but clearly you don’t give a damn about me.”
“I do. The real pajamas are in the bag.” Dipping my head, I kissed his lips.
“No pink hearts and bullshit?”
I kissed him again, talking into his lips. “No pink hearts and bullshit. Happy Valentine’s Day, handsome.”
He palmed my ass and kissed me back. “Happy Valentine’s Day, baby. Lemme see the other pajamas cause yo’ ass is too slick.”
