“We shouldn’t speak on the dead.”

He was crazy.

He started walking back up the long hallway, the dim lights illuminating the baseboard at the bottom of the wall with each step. My heels clacked behind him as I followed. While I clacked, he was removing his buttoned-up shirt, exposing his big arms and revealing his wife-beater. I was ready to climb on top of his back like a damn jungle monkey and swing around to the front and bounce on all ten inches.

Hell yeah, a bitch remembers all the inches of that two-tone.

Each step felt like torture. I was sexually free, and he was fucking with my inner freak.

Fuck it.

I stopped, looked back to make sure Revv’s door was still closed, and lowered my ass to the floor. Just like I knew it, his ass noticed and turned back around, but what he wasn’t expecting was for me to be down on my knees.

He furrowed his brow.

“Wassup G-baby?”

I took a page out of his book and didn’t answer. I waited for him to make his way to me, but he just stood there. He never moved. For a split second, I started to doubt myself, but that wasn't how I rolled. If I was gonna do it, I was gonna do it. He would have to open his mouth and tell me. Only then would I get up, let his son spend the night, and take my ass home.

I waited on my knees without a word. He had on jeans, and when my eyes landed on his package, I smirked because he was growing as I waited like a sub waiting for her next command.

“Shawty, you might want to get up. You ain’t ready for that kind of action.”

I remained silent.

I waited, my eyes still locked on him as I took in the person in front of me.

I saw a man

I saw a father.

I saw him changing his world to fit Revv in without a second thought. I mean, the man never even asked for a DNA test. Here stood a millionaire with all the rights in the world to doubt me, but he didn’t. Even though Revv has his whole face, it was like I came in second place in my little bugger’s life overnight. He loved him hard. It has been two years since I saw him in person, and two weeks since I knew I never wanted to go a day without him.

The turn-on was real.

“G-baby, answer me.”

I ignored what he said and asked a question of my own.

“Do you want me to leave?” I asked.

He mugged me. I got my answer, but if that wasn’t enough, my question got his legs moving.

I gulped.

He walked feet-heavy, arms moving fast, removing his buckle from his belt. Each step activated my soaker like never before. I fought the urge to touch myself. I wore a long Harper Maxi Dress with a pair of So Kate six-inch heels to this meet-and-greet today, and the thong under the dress was fighting for its life. When I chose this outfit to wear today, I never thought it would be perfect for easy access. My only motive was to have him take in every curve and prove to his family I wasn’t a broke hoe, just in case they thought I was on something janky.

Ritz stopped in front of me. My eyes traveled up his tall frame, and his eyes were filled with lust. I was playing in his playground.

My stare was intense. I was fully committed to embodying his whole persona.

“Mr. Monroe, may I speak?”

A low grunt escaped him as he tipped his head back. When his eyes found mine again, there was something there I'd never seen before—not even the night we unknowingly made Revv.

I welcomed it.

“Speak,” he commanded.
