“I will be. That muthafucka showed up in Nome again. I’m sick of his bullshit.”

“Maybe you need to have a final talk with him.”

“That’s all the fuck he’s gonna get too. I’ll talk to his ass again, but I’m sick of talking. I mean, I know he’s gonna come to town sometimes because Lennox is his brother, but why does that always have to be when I’m in town? This shit is irritating.”

I grabbed her hand and led her to the entrance without another word about Decklan. I knew she didn’t want him. I was more concerned about Nate and how that shit went. I didn’t want to ask, but I knew it would benefit me to just be a straight shooter with Jess.

Once we got a table and sat, I went right in. “So how was the game and your time with Nate?”

“It was cool. He had a good game, and I got to meet Noah. They talked about David Guillory. He used to be Noah’s stepdad and was Nate’s father. Nate never got to know him. So we were both in our feelings after that because we were talking about the sins of our mothers. However, I know that’s not the shit you really want to know.”

I frowned slightly as she gave me a smirk. She wanted to play games. “So tell me the answer to what it is you think I want to know.”

“Not until you ask the question, Brix.”

I rolled my eyes. She wanted me to be a savage. Once that side of me was out the box, he was gon’ stay out. “Okay. Don’t get offended when I speak my mind.”

She rolled her eyes. “I won’t, as long as you don’t get offended by my answers.”

I almost didn’t want to know after she said that. She would purposely give me too many details. “A’ight. Savage nigga engaged.”

She slowly shook her head. “Whatever, Brix.”

“Did you fuck him?”

She hesitated, crossing her legs and shit. I knew she was fucking with me, but I needed her to put me out of my misery. My gaze had to be pinning her to her damn seat. Finally, she said, “No. I did stay the night with him though.”

Thank God.Something wouldn’t let me stop there though. “Did you want to?”

Her eyebrows lifted slightly like she couldn’t believe I had the balls to ask that question. She was gon’ find out that I had the balls to do a lot of shit. “Yeah. Have you seen him?” she asked with a frown on her beautiful face.

“So what stopped you?”

“First, like I said earlier, the conversation threw everything off. We were feeling emotional. He held me in his arms all night, and we even kissed a few times, but for some strange reason, my mind couldn’t stay off this nigga I know back in Nome, Texas, and how his dick took my fucking breath away.”

I nodded as the waiter came to the table to get our drink and appetizer orders. After ordering a Swamp Thing and their cajun alligator, Jess’s eyes met mine while I ordered a simple Crown and Coke. I hoped she ordered a couple more of those Swamp Things. That shit was gon’ have her readier than the Energizer bunny. I was gon’ have her ass going and going and muthafucking going. Those raspberry and melon liqueurs and frozen Hurricane and Margarita were gon’ hit her ass so hard she wasn’t gon’ know what the fuck had happened.

As soon as the waiter walked away, I said, “So this nigga’s dick that’s in Nome must be special as fuck if you were thinking about it while you were with someone else.”

“Mm hmm. It packs a nice one-two punch, but I wouldn’t tell him that. I can’t have his head getting big as this fucking table.”

“Hmm. The head in his pants is already throbbing and swelling. What’chu gon’ do about it?”

She licked her red lips as her eyes stayed on mine. When I felt her bare foot on my leg, I slumped in my seat somewhat, thankful for the linen tablecloths that hid what was going on. Her foot found my erection and she began sliding it back and forth. “Mmmm,” I moaned deeply. “You don’t play fair.”

“I’m just showing you what I can do. You asked me what I was gonna do about it, didn’t you?”

“I shol in the fuck did. I’m loving your response, too, baby. You gon’ make me fire off in my pants though,” I said as I grabbed her foot. “I promise, you gon’ be digesting this shit as soon as we get in the truck.”

“Mm. You really promise? Because I will definitely delay the expansion of your family tree by swallowing that shit.”

“You so fucking nasty. It won’t be delayed. When it’s time for the tree to grow, it will. You just make sure you ready when that time comes.”

She gave me a half smile as the waiter set our drinks on the table and took our orders for dinner. The minute he walked away, she asked, “So you want me to have your babies, huh?”

“Mm hmm… all ten of ’em.”

She nearly choked, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “Shiiiid, you got the wrong person forthatjob. I can guarantee that shit.”
