Page 73 of A Hood Wife And A Rich Goon

“Save it, mama. I was hungry too.” Bowing his head, he said a quick prayer, and Lotus joined him before they both dove into their food.

“Yo, they both was dumb as hell in this mothafucka.” Eazy aimed his fork at the screen, watching Morris Chestnut and Vivica Fox in the club, trying to get each other’s attention with different people.

“Proper communication goes a long way.” Lotus studied her food and scooped some more chicken and pasta onto her fork before going for the tasty broccoli.

She’d been eating to survive the last two weeks and couldn’t keep anything down. Everything tasted different and left a bad taste in her mouth, but Eazy’s dish fulfilled her the way food used to. After clearing her plate, she sipped the last of her tea and set it on the table.

“That’s the first thing I’ve eaten that I feel like I can digest. Everything else just seems to sit on top of my stomach, waiting to come back up.”

“You welcome.” Eazy slowly chewed as his phone went off in his pocket.

Fishing it from his pants, he studied the screen but sent whoever it was to voicemail. Lotus had no expectations for whatever it was with them. She wasn’t going to force him into any kind of obligation when they hardly knew each other.

“If you need to go, it’s fine. I’m good.” She glanced at him before grabbing her book.

Eazy cut his deep, dark chocolate eyes in her direction. Lotus was gorgeous. Her rich, buttery skin was smooth, even as she sat there wearing no makeup. He loved how full her lips were and how they felt against his. Shit was like a drug. When he fucked with hoes, it was usually on some lust shit. He’d get it off and keep it moving. The last woman he kissed was Niva, and it felt like a lifetime ago. Lotus reignited a part of him he thought died with his girl, and that scared him more than anything.

“Nah. It can wait. We can finish watching this corny shit. I gotta clean the kitchen anyway.”

He had no intention of leaving her.

“Look, Lo, neither of us asked for this, but this raw dick went all up in that good shit and planted a seed. My seed. So ain’t no way in hell I’m leaving my blood out here to fend for his or herself.” Not expecting that, Lotus swallowed the lump in her throat. “That means being there for you too.”

He never expected to fall in love again after Niva or feel anything aside from the urge to climax with a chick.

“You might not be fucking with me right now, and I get that, but we locked in whether either of us asked for it or not.”

“I want to tell you something,” Lotus whispered. “Only because I don’t like things to be unsaid. I don’t want you to think I’m lying to you or trying to run game.”

“What’s up?” His face wrinkled into a slight frown.

“The day we met, I was with someone else,” she admitted. “He wasn’t my boyfriend or anything like that, but we did have a sexual relationship. I didn’t say anything at first because I wasn’t sure how far along I was or whose baby it is.”

“Let me guess, that punk mothafucka whose kids you were watching, right?” Eazy stared straight ahead, and Lotus peeped his jaw locking.

“Was it that obvious?”

“So, is it his baby or mine?” Eazy held his breath.

He came over there with his mind prepared to talk this out and see where her head was and what she planned to do. Learning that he wasn’t even this baby’s father damn sure wasn’t on his mind. Lotus didn’t give him hoe vibes, so he wanted answers.

“It’s yours.” She sighed.

“You sure?”

“Yes. I got fired that night, so I haven’t been with him. The date of conception is after we were last together. It aligned perfectly with the last time we were, though.” She looked him in the eye. “We can still do a DNA test if you want.”

“I believe you.” Eazy turned to her.

Grabbing both of their plates, he carried them into the kitchen and cleaned his mess. When he got back to the living room, Lotus was curled up in the corner of the couch, sleeping soundly. He paused, standing a few feet from her, infatuated with her rare beauty. It was almost midnight, so he went to scoop her from the couch and carry her to her bedroom. Her robe slipped open when he laid her on the bed, giving him time to properly absorb how bad she was.

The time they spent together was spontaneous, very spur of the moment, with this incessant need on both of their parts to simply enjoy each other. He knew she was fine, but he was now given the luxury of taking in how true that was. In her natural state, she was crushing it. The curve of her wide hips leading to her meaty thighs and shapely legs sent an urgent need to his dick. Her nipples beaded underneath her thin nightgown, and Eazy couldn’t help himself. Reaching down, he palmed one of her breasts, swiping his thumb across her erect nipple, and watched goosebumps suddenly riddle her flesh.

“Damn.” He groaned, watching her eyes flutter open.

Eyeing his erection, Lotus’s gaze drifted into Eazy’s. The same hunger and desire in her eyes burned in his. He really missed her lately. The way she always had a comeback for him, her laugh, that bright ass smile that could light up any room. Cupping her face, he kneeled over, his supple mouth attacking hers in a kiss that stole her breath. Lotus whimpered softly when he climbed on top of her, using his hard body to part her thighs and make himself at home between them. She didn’t fight it. Her walls clenched, ready for whatever ride he was about to take her on. Nearly swallowing his tongue, she let go of a full moan when his big hands squeezed her thigh, and he grinded against her with his tongue nastily dancing with hers. Breaking the kiss, Eazy propped his upper body over Lotus’s and searched her hooded eyes.

“I’m witchu, Lo. Whatever you want to do. You ain’t doing this alone,” he assured her.
