Chapter 17 Red Squared #2
She’d sucked my dick again, and I swore I wanted to shove it down her throat.
I didn’t know if someone had been in her ear, coaching her, or if it was something she always wanted to do but wouldn’t let her guard down to accomplish it.
Whatever the reason, I was grateful she went for that shit.
Carter and I would surely have to talk about that shit once she left.
Mrs. Taylor had to come early this morning because she had to go out of town to meet with another client.
That woman was busy as hell. It was Saturday, and she was still working.
She was passionate about what she did, I supposed, just like Noni and Bali.
Weekends meant nothing if they had a patient in the hospital.
They made visits every day, whereas most doctors only called on weekends if it wasn’t critical.
As we watched her drive off in her Maserati, Carter said, “I bet she was fine as hell when she was young.”
Uncle Legend chuckled. “Hell yeah, she was. I was already with your mama when I met her. Plus, she was married. You know I like chocolates. Had I not been with Harper, I definitely would have shot my shot. She’s older than me, though. By like ten years, I think.”
“Damn. She look like she’s still in her forties.”
“Well, I wasn’t committed to Shana yet, and I was definitely peeping her out. Back then, a woman being married didn’t stop me. Case in point . . . Asad.”
Everybody laughed as we headed back inside. I could hear the shower running. Noni’s car was in the garage, and I hadn’t told them she was here. They all looked toward my bedroom with frowns on their faces.
Relieving their curiosity, I said, “Noni came over yesterday evening. We’re back together.”
Carter smiled and slapped my hand, but Uncle Legend just stared at me. He glanced back toward my bedroom again, then said, “Be careful, man . . . cautious. That was quick. Is she just feeling guilty?”
“I think that’s part of it, but she finally expressed her most intimate feelings.
I mean . . . she’s always said she loved me, but that was it.
She never went in depth like she did last night.
Our connection felt brand new. I can’t be cautious if I’m going to give her my all, Unc.
If I’m cautious, then I’ll hold back. I don’t want to hold back, especially now that she isn’t. ”
He squeezed my shoulder and nodded his head. “You talking like a grown-ass man, Squared.”
I gave him a slight smile as my dad said, “I’m proud of you. Holla at me later.”
I nodded and shook his hand as he and Uncle Legend left. Carter flopped down on the couch, so I had to assume that he wanted to talk before Noni came out. I sat across from him in my recliner. He gave me a stupid ass grin, so I chuckled.
“Yeah, she put that shit down last night.”
He chuckled and shook his head. We’d been close all our lives, so I knew he was asking for more details just by the look on his face.
“It was more than that, though. It was the freakiest sex we ever had. It was like I could tell she was no longer holding back.” I glanced toward the bedroom and continued in a low voice. “She squirted at least three times. She’s never done that. Aaaaand, she was vocal. Man, I was in heaven.”
He glanced toward the bedroom. “She’s never squirted? Bali does that shit all the time.”
I shook my head. “You can’t squirt if you’re always tense and trying to control shit. She let go of all that. I just hope she don’t pick the shit back up.”
He nodded, then said, “What’s up, Noni?”
“Hey, Carter.”
I turned to see her making her way to us with her white coat already on. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. When she got to me, she fell on my lap and kissed my lips. Carter’s eyebrows lifted. I knew he was shocked. Hell, I was somewhat caught off guard. Had we been alone, I wouldn’t have been.
“Hey, baby.”
“Hey, Noni. You look sexy as hell, baby.”
“It’s the white coat, isn’t it?”
“Umm-hmm. It represents intelligence, hard work, and persistence. All those things are attractive, especially on yo’ pretty ass.”
“A’ight. I’m goin’ find my baby. Y’all ain’t finna be all over each other right in front of me. I am glad y’all are in a good place.”
“Thanks, Carter. You don’t have to leave, though. I have to get to Beaumont to check on my patient. I just had to show Red some love before I left.” Turning to me, she said, “See you when I get back?”
“Yep. I have to practice for a lil bit, but I should be done by the time you make it back.”
She smiled, then puckered her lips. I kissed them, then gently bit her bottom lip as she pulled away.
She gave me an under-eyed look like she was daring me to do more.
Before I could, she hopped off my lap and headed to the kitchen to get her purse.
I followed behind her and hugged her from behind and kissed her neck.
I loved how she was showing me affection without it feeling forced.
“I love you, Noni,” I said close to her ear.
“I love you, too.”
I kissed her neck again, then released her from my embrace. When I rejoined Carter, he said, “Y’all ought to come to dinner at my peeps house tomorrow. Kingsley will be there with Treasure.”
“Word? She’s ready to be in a relationship after everything?”
“I wouldn’t say that, but her allowing him in her space is a step in the right direction. Plus, Cachet is coming home today for a lil while. I can’t wait to see her.”
“If Noni doesn’t have any other plans, we’ll be there. I’m almost sure she doesn’t though.”
He stood from his seat. “A’ight. I told Epic I would meet him at the practice pin by ten. It’s already nine thirty.”
“Okay. I’m about to go and change so I can head out there. You gon’ haze for me, right?”
“Don’t I always?”
I slapped his hand, and said, “I appreciate you, bruh.”
He nodded. “For the record, I’m proud of you.”
“Thanks, man. That means a lot coming from you. I know you think I’m crazy as fuck sometimes.”
He chuckled as he headed to the door. “Hell yeah, I do, but you my brother, no matter what.”
I smiled at him as he walked out the door. After taking a deep breath, I headed to my bedroom. When I walked in, I chuckled. Noni had made a heart in the middle of the bed with her under garments. Slowly shaking my head, I went to my closet to grab some jeans and boots to get my day going.
