Chapter 3
THREE
Kyori
“I start tomorrow. I’m super excited.”
“You should be. It’s a chance for you to prove yourself with a big name. Brielle is huge not just in Atlanta but in New York and Chicago too. I was low key jealous because of the opportunities you’re gonna have. A lot of celebrities shop with her, exclusively too.”
“I know. It’s a bomb ass job, which is why I’m nervous as hell.”
“Girl, stop. You’ll be fine. You know fashion. Hell better than most with all that money you wasted over the years. I mean, you stay fly, but damn. That could have been my kids’ college fund with the stacks you were dropping.”
“Shut up, fool. I don’t always spend a lot. High-priced does not guarantee it’s fly. There’s a lot of ugly expensive shit out there. Trust me.”
Bre laughed. “You’re right. I’ll give you that. But don’t be nervous, Ky. I mean it. You’re gonna kill it and in no time at all you will be Brielle’s competition and not her employee. Watch.”
“From your lips to God’s ears.” I playfully rolled my eyes and she sucked her teeth.
“You better believe it yourself or it won’t happen. I’m serious, Ky. You got this but I have to go. Apparently I’m supposed to be a wife and mother tonight, which means cooking dinner and paying attention to my family.”
I smiled at Bre trying to sound annoyed. “Girl bye, that’s your whole life and you know it.”
“True but don’t let them hear you say it out loud or they’ll take advantage of me. I have to stay strong so I get my me time.”
“You’re so damn full of it. I love you though and I’ll call you tomorrow after my shift is done.”
“Make sure you do, Ky. I mean it.”
“I said I will, hoe. Kiss my babies for me.”
I lifted my eyes just in time to see Asim walking into the room. He barely looked at me and didn’t say a word, but that was how things had been for the past couple days. I had to force him to acknowledge me.
“I will, bye.”
I ended the call and climbed out of bed, following his path to the bathroom where I found him adjusting the water in the shower from the wall panel.
He stepped away right after, pulling the T-shirt he wore over his head and I couldn’t help but smile.
The man was just sexy as hell and I was addicted to every inch of him.
“You okay?” I asked from the doorway and he didn’t bother looking at me. Just unzipped his jeans and stepped out of them. When I received no response, I was about to leave the bathroom but he was up on me and had his hands on my body at the waist, planting a kiss on my forehead.
“I am now. Come take a shower with me?”
“I did already, I’ll just?—”
“That wasn’t a request. Take those clothes off and come shower with me.”
I wanted to tell him no. It had only been a little over an hour since I’d showered and changed to chill for the rest of the night but Asim requested my time and he damn sure was about to get it.
There was no way I would deny him when I knew he needed me close.
So I peeled my leggings and panties off, pulled my tank top over my head, and followed him into the shower.
The first ten minutes were spent with me assisting as Asim washed his body.
After that, he had me pinned against the tiled wall, staring down lustfully like I was his prey.
My body warmed all over from the anticipation of what was to come.
One hand was placed above my head while the other he used to gently grip the front of my neck.
His thumb glided across my skin, sending a chill down my spine and those intense eyes of his held me captive, a longing behind them that confirmed what we were both feeling. “I’ve missed you.”
“You have?” My brows lifted and he smirked.
“Yeah, I have.”
Right after, his mouth covered mine and his tongue eased into my mouth.
Asim kissed me in a sensual manner, expressing just how much he had missed me.
When his body pushed against mine, I felt his length pressing firmly into my stomach.
We’d had sex the past few days but it was more about him than me.
I could tell he needed something to keep him from losing it; so when he climbed between my thighs, I took care of him.
He wouldn’t talk to me about what was going on but he communicated how stressed he had been by the way he handled my body.
His motions were hungry, needy, and angry.
“I missed you too. This you. The one I know is okay.”
He chuckled. “I’m always good, Ky. I told you that.”
When he lifted me around his waist, I locked my legs behind him at the same time as I sank down onto his length.
My thighs squeezed against his sides, trying to contain the feeling of him entering me, but it didn’t help.
He was too long and thick for my body to pacify me with any type of relief.
We both let out a low moan and I closed my eyes.
“Baby…” eased from my lips, causing his eyes to slightly squint. A smile teased at the corner of his mouth and I shut my eyes to keep from rolling them. He knew what he was doing.
“You need a minute?”
“No.” I should have said yes but my ego wouldn’t let me, so he proceeded to help my motions, lifting me slowly and bringing me down with a little more aggression while he thrust up and forward, digging deeper, hitting me just right.
“Shit.”
His arrogant ass laughed under his breath and really began putting it on me.
With my back pressed into the wall and his hands beneath me, I had no defense for the lethal thrusts he delivered.
Instead of fighting it, I placed my hands on the sides of his face and brought it to mine, kissing him deeply while he went deep between my thighs.
“Fuck. I apologize for not being here with you over the past few days. I’m gonna make it up to you.” Asim delivered his words confidently, voice level even he was hammering into me like a mad man.
“Oh trust me, you are definitely making it up to me.” His eyes lifted to mine as he chuckled under his breath.
“I hope this is a good start.” His movements became more fluid while his mouth attacked mine.
I began rocking against him, matching his thrusts, creating friction against my clit that had my stomach tensing minutes later.
The combination of his lips, tongue, and dick hitting the right spot was all it took for me to catapult over the edge.
I threw my head back into the tiled wall, grateful I didn’t knock myself unconscious from the careless motion while Asim continued drilling into me until he growled through his release, burying his face in my neck.
We remained that way until he finally lifted his head, kissing me once more then backing away from the wall enough to let me down.
At least he knew better than to leave me to my own devices because he held me at the waist until my legs decided they were ready to work properly.
“You need me to carry you out?” That cocky grin on his face made me want to chop him in the throat but instead I reached for my washcloth and body wash, turning away to finish my shower.
He laughed, doing the same, and twenty minutes later we were dressed and in the kitchen; me sitting on the counter while he leaned against it next to me eating the food I’d ordered for him earlier.
I had already eaten but always made sure he had something just in case he needed to eat when he got home.
I wasn’t sure if or when he would arrive but I still wanted him to know he was on my mind at all times.
“I appreciate you thinking about me. Thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me for making sure you eat. It’s the least I can do.”
“Nah, the least you can do is be here and you’ve done that. Anything else is extra and I appreciate it.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek, which had my stomach fluttering. This man knew how to affect the deepest parts of me with little to no effort.
“I know shit is crazy right now, but I promise, it will be over soon.”
“Will it?” My expression grew serious and he lowered his fork, bypassing the food he was about to put in his mouth. Dropping the fork back into the container, he placed it on the counter and stepped between my legs.
“I thought I asked you not to worry?” Asim’s brows were pulled in and his eyes low. It was sexy but I couldn’t enjoy the lustful moment because the conversation was so serious.
“You did but?—”
“No buts. I have everything under control. I don’t need you worrying because that’s adding to all the other shit I’m juggling.”
“That’s not fair.”
“What’s not fair?”
“You making me feel bad because I care.”
He pressed his forehead to mine briefly then gripped my chin, delivering several soft pecks to my lips.
“I’m not trying to make you feel bad but facts are facts.
I have a lot of shit weighing me down right now, so I need you to G up.
I have to know you’re good so I can deal with all the other shit.
It’s not what you signed on for, so I understand, but this is me, Ky.
This is who I am. It’s not good, it’s not bad, it just is. ”
“I know that Asim and this is who I am. I care, I worry, I’m up late when you’re not here. I can’t do anything about that but I know it comes with who you are.”
He stared at me hard for a minute before that sexy smile of his surfaced. “You’re trying to make me wife your ass, aren’t you?”
“Bruh.” I sucked my teeth and he laughed.
“I’m deadass, Ky. First you were all emotional on the flight back from LA, finally admitting I had a piece of your heart, and now you’re further confirming.
That’s all I wanted in the first place and you’re handing that shit over.
You’re really trying to have me out here acting up behind you on some possessive shit. ”
I rolled my eyes but he gripped my chin and kissed me again, tugging at my bottom lip before he backed away completely. “I’m deadass, Ky, but seriously, right now I need you to G up. Can you do that?”
