Saying yes had me on a horse drawn carriage riding through Downtown.
“You’ve been busy with the kids and work, I thought you forgot about me.”
I felt a twinge of guilt. While that was true, a lot of time was spent with Rayzor too.
“You know how it can be.” I half smiled.
Michael was safe. Always had been. A tech guy that lived a softer life. Work, travel, home.
He was the good guy type. Cookie cutter. There’s nothing wrong with that kind of energy. I just knew that a man like Michael would be good for me, he’s just not my ideal choice.
“I tell you often you need a break from just work.”
“I can say the same about you.”
Michael held my hand, thumbing the back of my palm.
“That’s why I don’t want kids,” he professed, killing my mood.
Annoyed, I scooted from his arm.
“What? You have an attitude because of my truths.”
“No.” I rolled my eyes. “I got one because your ass is insensitive. It’s not like I’m asking you to take care of mine.”
Just as we turned the corner, there was a roadblock.
A pair of menacing eyes stared at me from the street.
“Oh my God,” I whispered as Rayzor pushed up from his truck that he had blocking the lanes.
“Come‘ere, E!” he called out, standing in front of the horse.
The headlights highlighted his physique and devilish handsome fucking face. I shouldn’t even be looking at, much less thinking about, him. I couldn’t fucking stand it.
“Is he talking to you?” Michael asked.
His question was answered the moment the driver pulled the horse back because Rayzor hopped his ass inside the carriage.
They called out for him to get down. He ignored her. All eyes trained on me like it was my fault.
“Rayzor, what the hell you doing?”
Michael stood up.
“Eris, who this?”
“Daddy, nigga,” Rayzor responded, leaving me befuddled yet flushed.
“Please, ma’am, we can go. He’ll get off,” I told the driver.
“My man, she’s with me.”
“E,” Rayzor called my name.
Michael was in my ear, and Rayzor was towering over us. The driver was trying to get Rayzor’s attention, and the horns blaring sent me into overstimulation.
“Rayzor, go.”
