“Don’t think so hard about the past,” Juniper said. “Go with the flow and what’s meant to be will be.”
“He said to let him earn me before I give my entire self to him.”
“Then you listen and let him do exactly what he said,” Magnolia chimed in. Truthfully, it was already too late. I was falling fast and hard. And maybe Roman was feeling the same, but I wouldn’t push for answers. Time will tell if this thing we have going is meant to last.
The front door opened, and deep voices carried into the townhouse. My heart was aware that Roman was amongst those voices because it began to race. He was already embedded in my mind, and after last night, my body too.
“Please don’t wake my baby,” Magnolia called out softly as they passed the living room with boxes in their hands.
“Sorry,” Brandon and Ayden whispered back. Ezra and Roman were the last to walk by, and his eyes found mine immediately. He smiled, licked his lips, and then kept walking. I let the breath I’d been holding go.
“He really has you feeling a way, huh?” Daisy asked. I nodded. He really did.
After spending a little more time with my sisters, Roman and I met up at my apartment, and he decided to cook for me while I relaxed.
“Babe, your phone,” I yelled. I was sitting in the living room with my feet up when he phone vibrated on the coffee table.
There was silence and then, “Grab it for me, I’m waiting on a call.”
“Hello,” I answered cautiously after noticing that it was an unknown number.
“Umm...” The soft voice caught me off guard, and I sat up. “Is this Roman’s phone?”
“It is.”
“And you are?” I snorted and laughed.
“Hello, Kennedy, what can we do for you?” Roman told me that he’d blocked her number after she called him nonstop the other day. I never understood why women do that to themselves, but it wasn’t for me to understand. All I can say is that Roman was someone I wanted for myself and I had no problem voicing that.
“We?” She actually sounded confused.
“Yes, we...” I sighed. “It’s time to move on. Roman’s time, love, and energy will be occupied for the rest of his life.” Instead of waiting for her to reply, I hung up.
“For the rest of my life, huh?” I looked up to find Roman watching me with an amused glint in his gaze.
“Too much?” He chuckled.
“Nah, I like the way that sounds.” He turned and stalked back into the kitchen, leaving me to fawn over his sexy bow-legged walk.
“Fine ass,” I mumbled, shaking my head.

The Middle…
“ D on’t stop... feels so...” Blossom paused and whimpered softly. “It feels so good.” I kissed her neck while slowly stroking her from the side. This was the best sex. That lazy, we just woke up, but have to have each other sex. “You’re so deep.” Every time I had her like this, it got better.
“Just how you like it.”
It didn’t take long for me to learn her body, and now that I had, pleasuring her was that much better. I knew exactly what spots to hit and where to kiss. And the way she reacted to my touch told me all I’ll ever need to know. I was doing something right. And I give it to Blossom, because she took her time learning me as well. There wasn’t a woman on this earth that could say they made me feel like she does.
“Yes!”
“I know baby,” I muttered into her ear. Keeping my strokes steady, I cupped her breasts. I was savoring this feeling, letting it consume me. She felt like velvet wrapped snugly around my dick, and I couldn’t get enough. While rolling her nipples between my thumb and index finger, I bit down gently on her shoulder, causing Blossom to shudder. My baby hated her breasts because, to her, they were too small, but to me, they were just right. Her body was a work of art that I enjoyed getting lost in, time and time again. Once we crossed that line over three weeks ago, we’ve been attached to each other since.
“Roman, I—”
“Don’t tell me.” I picked up my pace, thrusting deep inside of her. “Let me feel it. Cum on your dick, BB.” Her body seized, while her pussy tightened around me. She was whimpering and shaking uncontrollably in my arms. I bit down on my lip and stayed the course, fucking her harder now. All while chasing my own release, and trying to summon another from her.
“Oh, God,” she moaned loudly. “It’s happening... again.”
“Fuck, baby,” I groaned, releasing into the condom at the same that she announced her second orgasm. I kept stroking until she calmed in my arms. Blossom sighed in contentment, and I slowly slipped out of her, pulling the condom off and standing to get rid of it. My body was in a sated state, but I managed to warm a rag and take it back to clean Blossom off. Her eyes were low, but she was awake and watching me, just as she always does.
“Thank you,” she murmured, eyes fluttering close. I stared at her face, taking in the soft features I hated going without seeing for too long. In the short amount of time that we’ve been seeing each other, I’ve grown to care for her immensely. Shaking my head, I kissed her forehead and took the rag back to the bathroom.
When I climbed back into bed, Blossom buried herself against me immediately. I wrapped my arms securely around her body and closed my eyes. It was seven in the morning the last I’d check the time. More sleep was near for the both of us.
“What do you have planned today?” she murmured softly.
“Meeting with my uncles, I haven’t seen them both together since being home.”
“Sorry.” I tapped her arm and then rubbed the spot.
“Why are you apologizing?”
“I’ve been taking up all of your time. I didn’t realize you haven’t—”
“Don’t do that. I’ve seen them just not at once, my uncles are busy men, and it’s hard to catch up with them at the same time. I’m sure they’ll bust my balls about it later like it’s all my fault, but it’s all love. Besides all that, I love you taking up my time.” I kissed the side of her face, and she tilted her head up to look at me.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive, baby,” I told her, running my fingers over her cheek. “Tonight is girls night in with your sisters, right?”
“Yeah, I’m going to miss you, though.” Her lips quirked up at the corners, and I chuckled. “What are you and the guys doing?” I shrugged.
“Brandon said something about going to Devin’s bar and playing pool.” Blossom rolled her eyes. I smiled at the partial lie I just told. We were going to the bar but only to kill time before crashing girls night. Lennox didn’t want to be away from his son and wife. Ezra was simply obsessed with Lilac, while Brandon and Ayden were chill about it all. At least they were pretending to be, but I knew they were down to crash just as much as the others. I was going with the flow because either way, I would get to see Blossom at the end of the night.
“He’s just as bad as Ezra,” she said, yawning. “Don’t let Brandon’s preppy self fool you.” I kissed her forehead and watched as she drifted off to sleep. I thought about what she said about Brandon. I’ve hung out with all of the guys a couple of times since helping Lennox move his things into Magnolia’s place. The more I learn about each of them, the more I can see them as life-long friends.
