From the way Kay’Lo talked low with Renza and Kelli, it was clear that the nigga was tied to Echo’s side of the family. I caught enough to know it was one of her cousins, and I caught enough to know this wasn’t over yet. I kept my mouth shut though, ’cause I already knew better than to step into somethin’ that Kay’Lo was gon’ handle his own way.
Court had been pushed back until next week, and I wasn’t even mad at that. If anything, it gave us time we ain’t even know we needed, and I used every bit of that time to show up for my husband the way I should’ve been doin’ from the jump.
Okay… fuck it. I’ll admit that I had been distant before. I had been in my feelin’s and movin’ funny with him, actin’ like he was supposed to just understand me without me sayin’ shit, and I could see now how that had been wearin’ on him, especially with everything else he had goin’ on.
So, I stopped all that…
I started runnin’ his bath water when I knew he needed it, makin’ sure it was hot enough to loosen his body up. I’d be waitin’ when he got out, oil already in my hands, rubbin’ him down slow and takin’ my time, not rushin’ through it. Worked through his shoulders, his arms, his chest, and his back, feelin’every bit of tension in him and stayin’ right there until I felt his body ease up under my hands.
When he sat down with My’Love, I’d drop down and rub his feet while he held her, pressin’ into them in a way that had him leanin’ back without even realizin’ it.
I cooked every day, and not just anything either, but the meals I knew he loved. They was the ones that made him actually sit and enjoy his food. I washed his clothes, folded them, and made sure everything around him was handled so he ain’t have to think about nothin’ when he came home.
At night, I stopped turnin’ away from him. I rolled into him instead. I wrapped myself around him and held him close, kissin’ him soft and stayin’ there until he fell asleep, and when he woke up, I was still right there with him. I ain’t complain, and I ain’t ask for nothin’, ’cause I knew I had been wrong, and I knew he deserved more from me.
Tonight was one of those nights where everything felt a lot calmer. Sha’Nelle had My’Love in her room, givin’ me a break for a minute, and I ain’t even realize how much I needed that until I was sittin’ on the bed with a blunt in my hand and a funny movie playin’ in front of me. I found myself actually laughin’, rubbin’ my feet together and relaxin’ into the mattress while I let my mind slow down for the first time in a while.
The bathroom door finally opened after a while, and I looked up without thinkin’ much of it at first. But the second I saw Kay’Lo step out, my eyes stayed right where they was.
He had a thick black towel wrapped low around his waist, sittin’ on his hips in a way that made my eyes drop before I could stop myself. Water was still rollin’ down his skin, slidin’ over his chest and down his stomach, and his tattoos looked even darker against his wet skin. His shoulders was broad, his arms thick, and the way his body moved when he lifted his hand to run it over his head made my stomach tighten up without warnin’.
He looked too damn good, like nothin’ had been weighin’ on him. It was like he wasn’t carryin’ everything he been carryin’.
I sat there watchin’ him longer than I meant to, takin’ him in like I hadn’t had the chance to really look at him in a minute, and that’s when he looked back at me.
It wasn’t a regular look either. It was different, and it carried weight that I hadn’t felt from him in a minute. It was a reminder that we hadn’t had sex in months—I’m talkin’ before My’Love was born.
The way his eyes stayed locked on me made my clit jump so hard, it caught me off guard.
I pulled my blunt away from my lips quick, coughin’ as I leaned forward and put it out. When I looked back up at him, I ain’t even try to play it off.
’Cause I felt it…
And the way he was lookin’ at me told me he felt it too.
When Kay’Lo dropped his towel, my heart dropped straight into my stomach like my body already knew I was in trouble.
His dick stood up hard, long and thick, and the way he gripped it in his hand while starin’ at me had my whole body reactin’ before my mind could even catch up.
I bit down on my bottom lip without even thinkin’, my eyes locked on him like I had been starvin’ and he was the only thing I wanted.
It had been so long since I seen him like this, that I damn near felt overwhelmed just lookin’ at him.
It wasn’t just about sex either. It was everything that came with it. The history, the pain, the love, the arguments, all that shit was sittin’ between us and now it was about to turn into somethin’ else.
Kay’Lo hit the light switch and the room dimmed down just enough to make everything feel more intimate, and then hestarted walkin’ toward me slow, still holdin’ his dick like he knew exactly what he was about to do to me.
My heart was beatin’ so fast I felt it in my back and in my throat at the same time, and even though the TV was still playin’ in the background, I wasn’t hearin’ none of that shit.
All I saw was my husband.
When he got in bed, I lifted my hand and touched the side of his face, rubbin’ my thumb across his cheek while we stared at each other like we had a thousand things to say but neither one of us wanted to talk no more. We had argued enough. We had cried enough. I was tired of words.
I just wanted to feel him.
Kay’Lo leaned in and kissed me, and the second his lips touched mine I felt that spark all over again like it had never left. His tongue slid into my mouth slow, deep and confident, and I kissed him back the same way, my fingers curlin’ against his face while our tongues moved together like we was findin’ each other again.
His hand slid up my shoulder and pulled the strap of my gown down, exposin’ my titty, and when he wrapped his whole hand around it and started rubbin’ on it slow, my body reacted instantly. The way his thumb brushed over my nipple and then circled it made my pussy tighten, and I felt that wetness build between my legs without me even tryin’ to stop it.
