Page 86 of A Beast Captured My Heart

“I’m sorry, Praise or Beast. I think you’re Beast right now…” she smiled as I lowered my head and smiled back at her. She really was trying to learn me.

“Kayori said your eyes look a little wilder when you’re Beast. She told me that you have been seeing the doctor weekly and trying your hardest to merge all of your other personalities. I’m proud of you, son.”

Kissing me on my cheek, she used her right hand to touch my cheek and wipe the lipstick away. That shit had me feeling mushy and loved at the same time. I could just hear Stone punk-ass now clowning a nigga.

“I know I said sorry before, but I want to say it again. I really do apologize, Ma, for calling you out of your name. I know this personality of mine is a Beast, but I don’t want to act like that towards the people I love. I never wanted to. I wanna be that Beast nigga that protects and honor my family. I got nothing but love and loyalty towards you, and I always will.”

We stood on the porch for another twenty minutes having a deep conversation about the things we were definitely going to work on and the things we looked forward to. Kayori and I stayed at my mom’s house for another three hours before we were on our way out the door. Once I made sure Kayori was in the car, I popped the trunk and pulled out a black blindfold.

Right now, I didn’t need Brick or Dion following us. I just wanted it to be me and her to experience this moment together. This was going to solidify our relationship and the new journey we were set to embark on. She asked me about a million questions, and I answered none. I put the blindfold on and headed to my next designation. I was excited as fuck to see the look on my baby's face. All I wanted to do was make her happy because her happiness meant my own.

Chapter Forty-Seven

KAYORI

I was antsy and nervous. The ride took a good thirty minutes, and the whole way there, I had a million questions running through my mind. Beast had made me a happy woman in less than twenty-four hours, and he wasn’t stopping.

“We here, Juicy. Just hold on a couple of seconds.”

I could hear him moving to get out of the car. He popped the trunk again and then came to open my passenger door. Placing a small box in my hands, I enjoyed the breeze that hit my legs, arms, and face.

“This is our new beginning, baby.” He kissed my shoulder and then neck and took off the blindfold leaving me utterly speechless. I stood in front of a huge mansion-like house, and in the front sat two big body Benz trucks with big ribbons on them. The lawn was huge and to enter the property was a big iron gate. Looking on the outskirts of the property, I took in the nice quiet area. I looked up to the mountains and saw the Hollywood sign, and confirmed where I was.

“This is an eight-bedroom, two-story home with an indoor pool, outdoor pool, play area for Mattea and Matthew and our other kids that will be coming soon,” he smoothly said the last part as he winked at me and continued.

“I hired a cleaning staff and an extra nanny. You can keep the condo and focus on your craft and business if you want, or I can buy you a storefront. It’s no rush. I wanted to get you a big new house so you can feel like the queen that you are and make this shit last forever like Keith Sweat says.”

I turned around and kissed him passionately as I thanked him a million times. It took two minutes just to walk along the path to reach the front double doors of our beautiful home, and I now understood why both of the cars with ribbons were parked right in the front. The exterior of the home was magnificent, and I couldn’t believe such a beautiful house belonged to me.

“Them your cars too, Juicy, my baby needs options. The keys are in the master bedroom.” He smiled as I felt super giddy inside again.

Taking the ribbon off the front door, I opened the box Beast had given me, unlocked the door, and pushed it open. I gasped and then just stood at the entrance in tears as I took in the Foyer. There were floor-to-ceiling windows and a huge chandelier made of what looked like crystals and gold trimming. The front room was all black and gold, and the floor was marble with gold specks in it. Gold statues sat in each corner with real flowers coming out of them. My favorite candles from Bath and Body Works could be smelled throughout the whole room. A picture of Beast wearing a suit with the word ‘King’ sat big on one side and a beautiful picture of myself was on the other with the word ‘Queen.’ All of this was overwhelming.

“I’m gon’ show you the rest of the house, but I want us to head to the master suite so you can get the rest of your gifts.”

At this point, I couldn’t take any more. This was all overwhelming.

“What did I do to deserve all of this, baby?” I sniffed back tears as I stared up at those beautiful gray eyes.

“What didn’t you do, Kayori? You loved a nigga with your soul and accepted me for me. You had my son, accepted my daughter as yours. I can go on and on, baby. Don’t ever question your worth with me again. I’m that nigga, and you’re that bitch. Well, woman, because I’m not tryna disrespect you.” He chuckled. “But you know what I mean.”

Wiping my tears with his hands, he grabbed my hand and walked me through the huge house. I almost lost it when we stopped at an elevator.

“An elevator, baby?” Nodding his head, he pressed a button and stepped on it.

When we reached the second floor, I noticed two double doors with crowns on the doors. Once the door was open, my breath was taken away again. The room itself was bigger than my whole condo. A big round bed sat in the middle with two sofas on each corner of the room. The floor-to-ceiling windows and the view were perfect. I could see the backyard, pool, and jacuzzi.

“Where’s the other pool?” I asked out of curiosity.

“On the elevator, you press B for basement, and it will lead you down there. It’s workout gear and everything you need to get to your goal weight. I heard you talking to your friend, and you don’t need that gastric sleeve surgery. I don’t want you risking your health. We can work out together, baby.”

I smiled at how thoughtful he was and rejoiced in the fact that he was all mine. I marveled over our master suite. The room had his and her bathrooms, with Praise’s bathroom on the other side of the room from mine. I could tell the difference because my bathroom door had gold and black roses.

“Go take a look, baby, while I set the room up for you.” He grabbed a handful of ass and slapped it. The sting caused a moan to leave my lips.”

There was no point in asking questions. I walked my ass to my bathroom and was once again amazed at the interior. I was quickly learning that gold was my man’s favorite color. My jacuzzi tub had gold trimmings and a walk-in shower, which was adjacent to the huge tub that had jets. The bathroom was super big, and I was definitely going to order a vanity to put inside to do my makeup. What I loved the most about the area was half of the bathroom had floor-to-ceiling mirrors everywhere, even next to the tub. I was also happy that the bathroom had a huge window next to the tub because I loved taking hot ass baths, and when I got out or while I was inside the tub, I liked to open the window and feel a cool breeze.

I heard Sade’s “Smooth Operator” playing, and I looked around to try to find the speakers but couldn’t spot them. Next, the tub turned on, causing me to jump. A soap dispenser dropped liquid inside as the bubbles started to form. Before I could say anything or make my way out of the room to question Beast, his deep sexy voice came through in the bathroom.
