“What?” I asked, rubbin’ her booty again.
“You too overprotective.”
“Damn right. That’s my baby.”
She nudged her nose against mine and we kissed again, slow and deep, and I let my hand squeeze her ass a lil’ harder ‘cause I needed her closer.
We laid like that for a while, breathin’ into each other, our legs tangled and the blanket wrapped around us, and for the first time since today I felt like the world outside ain’t matter for a second. Toni always knew how to bring me back down from all the shit goin’ on, and even though she was the one who should’ve been restin’, she was caterin’ to me instead.
I kissed the corner of her mouth and let my thumb trace over her cheek while I took in her face in the dim light. The longer I looked at her, the more I knew exactly what I needed to say.
“I don’t want you comin’ to court no more,” I said.
She blinked slow, her brows pullin’ together, and she looked right at me like she was tryna understand if I meant it the way it sounded.
I ain’t look away.
She didn’t speak at first, and I could see her tryna figure out how to respond.
“You gettin’ further along,” I told her, lettin’ my thumb brush across her bottom lip before movin’ it to push a small strand of hair from her mouth. “And what happened today wasn’t cool at all. I don’t want you dealin’ with that shit no more. Not the bullshit from the state and not them niggas runnin’ up tryna act bold.”
She swallowed softly and her eyes softened.
“I don’t want nobody rushin’ at you or sayin’ somethin’ that stress you out. I don’t want no more scenes like that shit today where somebody try to swing or start a fight and I gotta go back to jail for killin’ somebody else. I ain’t riskin’ that.”
Her hand slid up my chest, and she nodded, her expression calm and understandin’.
“I get it,” she whispered.
“I know you do.”
I leaned in and kissed her, and she kissed me back with that same soft warmth that always made me feel like I was homeno matter where I was. My hand was still on her booty, rubbin’ slow, and she pressed herself closer until her belly was touchin’ my stomach and her leg slid between mine.
I held her like that, lettin’ the moment stretch between us ‘cause this was the only peace I had left in my life right now and I wasn’t lettin’ it go for nothin’.
“Come here,” I murmured against her lips, pullin’ her in just a lil’ more as I kept caressin’ her body, lettin’ the weight of the day fall off both of us piece by piece.
Still rubbin’ her booty, I slid my tongue across her bottom lip, and she pulled it into her mouth, suckin’ on it slow until a moan damn near fell outta me. The way she sucked on my lip had my dick jumpin’. I smacked her ass and rubbed over the same spot in a circle, feelin’ her body jump when I grabbed a handful and pulled her cheek apart. That soft lil’ shiver she did always got me heated. I lifted her gown higher, touchin’ on her warm skin, and she melted into me.
We was tongue kissin’ messy and deep, breathin’ into each other while my hand slid up her back and then down again until I was right back on her ass. I spread her cheeks apart and reached between her legs, and when my fingers slid through all that wet, I damn near groaned into her mouth. Toni always had good pussy, but the way she stayed wet for me, even while pregnant, made me feel that shit in my knees.
She was breathin’ heavy, her chest pressin’ into mine, and I felt her heart racin’. Mine was matchin’ hers, and I ain’t even try to slow it down. I reached in the front of my silk pants, fightin’ with the waistband before I finally freed my dick. Soon as it touched her thigh, she shifted close, her body recognizin’ me.
She threw her leg over mine and slid closer, like she was tryna climb inside my skin.
“Baby,” I mumbled while she kissed me slow, lettin’ her lips drag across mine.
“Yes baby?” she whispered all soft and already gone.
“You think if I keep stickin’ my dick in you, we’ll hurt the baby?”
She paused and looked me dead in my face.
“No, ‘Lo. You not gon’ hurt the baby.”
“You sure?”
“I’m sure.”
