Skye: No. I’m just not ready to tell people. I want us to figure things out first.
I stared at the little bubbles, which popped up and disappeared three times before a message finally came through.
Ocean: Cool.
But I knew it wasn’t cool. Ocean was never short with his words when it came to me.
“I’m about to head out,” Jasmine said, yanking me from my thoughts. “Good seeing you. Glad you’re okay.”
“Good seeing you too, and thank you.”
She nodded and headed for the door, stopping once her hand wrapped around the knob. “You know my brother doesn’t have female friends, right?”
I cleared my throat and forced a grin. “Well, he does now.”
Her smirk said everything. “Yeah…okay.”
I kept a straight face until the door shut behind her.
She’s not convinced.

I shoved my key into the door of my penthouse, my mind going a mile a minute. I had no intention of leaving Skye at the condo, but after getting a text from Melina saying that there was a leak, I didn’t have a choice. There was no way I was going to allow Skye to see another bitch at one of my cribs.
That wouldn’t end well.
Shit, I definitely gotta get that key back.
Before I could turn the knob, the door opened, and Melina stood in the doorway wearing a bright red lingerie set.
“What took you so long?” she asked.
“None of your business. Where’s the leak?” I slid past her, making sure our bodies didn’t touch in any way.
“Right here.”
Rolling up my sleeves, I spun around, ready to handle the problem.
But I didn’t see shit. Well, nothing other than Melina licking her lips as she cupped her pussy.
I frowned. “Yo, where is the fucking leak? I’ve got other shit to do.”
“Like I said before...right here.” She lowered her gaze, then looked back up at me to make sure I’d finally realized what she was referring to.
Pissed, I took in a deep breath, then blew it out slowly. “Please tell me you didn’t call me over here for some dick.”
“Uh, yeah. I thought that was obvious.”
My shoulders dropped.
When Melina sent me that text, my mind was elsewhere. I was still on a high from being with Skye.
“Why aren’t you at the club?” I asked. “There are still things that need to be handled today?”
“Yes, there is, but I wanted to see you.”
