“Oh, I’m sure I know what went down. You didn’t have sex with her. Well, at least not in the traditional sense. It was just head, right?” I glared at him and he looked at me, defeated.
“Look, you don’t have to understand it, but I thought I was doing what I needed to do.”
“So, that’s what you needed to do? Because looks to me like whatever your plan was didn’t work. She still showed up here waving a gun around and acting like she owned you.”
“At the time, it made sense. It was about you and that?—”
“It was about me? Her sucking your dick was about me? Oh, we’re good then. As long as it was about me, I’m gucci.”
Trooper looked at me and the corners of his mouth turned up as a smirk spread across his face. It made me heated.
“You know what? I fucking hate you.”
I jumped up and was about to storm off, but he caught me in a bear hug.
“Yo, calm the fuck down, Sophie.”
Was his ass laughing? Now I was really pissed.
“Ay, stop fighting me. Your little ass ain’t strong enough to break free, so just stop trying,” Trooper said, getting serious all of a sudden. “I didn’t mean to laugh, but you know that shit be funny as fuck when you call yourself getting hood on me.”
“Trooper, please let me go.” I half smiled because he was right.
“I will in a minute, but look, my head wasn’t right. There was a lot of shit going on. I had the feds trying to lock me and Los up. William kept fucking with you and we had just found out the real reason Story got out. It was a lot, so yeah, I did a dummy move and tried to contain her however I could. I shouldn’t have, but I meant what I said. It was about you. If it came down to keeping you safe, I’d let a million bitches suck my dick. I’m not saying I’d enjoy it though, but I’d roll with it. You might not want to hear that, but it’s true, and I ain’t making no apologies for that because I mean that shit.”
“So what happens next time you feel like you’re backed into a corner? It happens again?”
“Maybe, depends on how sexy her lips are.”
Oh, hell no, he really had me bent.I elbowed him hard as I could in the ribs.
He flinched, but still didn’t let me go.
“I’m just fucking with you, chill out, Sophie. Real shit though, I fucked up and I know it, but at least I didn’t fuck her. You heard her say that, right? Can I get points for that? If not, will you at least grade on a curve?”
I glanced over my shoulder, and sure enough, he was smiling hard as hell.
I was seriously questioning his mental status, because for some reason he really thought that was okay.
“Will you please let me go?”
“You promise you not gon’ hit me and you’ll calm down?” he asked against my neck. I hated that I got turned on, but no matter what, he had that effect on me.
“I promise,” I stated calmly.
He chuckled first and mumbled, “Your lying ass” before he let me go and I smacked the shit outta him.
His eyes narrowed and his teeth clenched, but other than that, he didn’t move. “You good now?”
“I guess.” I shrugged then returned to my chair.
“Good, ’cause if you ever put your hands on me like that again, I’m fucking you up. Well, not until you have that baby, but I promise you, I’ll fight your ass like you’re a grown man, Sophie.”
“Trooper!” I yelled, surprised by his response.
“What, man? Didn’t anybody ever tell you don’t hit if your ass don’t expect to get hit back.”
He was so serious it made me laugh. Could this man be any sexier?
