“Nigga, are you crazy? Skye is wifey material. Ain’t nobody getting that luxury pussy but me.”
“But you’re not going to wife her though.”
“How the fuck you know?”
“Because you like running around with other bitches too much.”
He shrugged. “Maybe for now. But one day, I’m going to chill out, and when I do, it’s going to be with Skye. Her fine ass is going to have all my babies.”
“Really? And when is that bullshit going to happen?”
“Hell, I don’t know. But she’ll stick around until it does. I’ve got her ass on lock.”
I wanted to tell him how dumb he sounded, but I knew I was just wasting my breath.
“Is that Enzo?” Mecca said as he peered across the room. “I haven’t seen that fool since his party a few weeks ago.” He slammed his hand against my chest. “You should’ve been there. It was wild as hell.”
I frowned. “You know damn well I don’t fuck around at an Enzo party. Shit, if you knew what was good for you, you wouldn’t either.” I scoffed. “Mess around and you’ll end up strung out on a bunch of shit you didn’t even realize you got pumped with.”
“Nah, man, I wasn’t letting any of that go down. I was too focused on kicking it with the exotic bitches.” He let out a chuckle, then leaned into my ear. “Man, let me tell you about this one?—”
“What’s up?” Enzo greeted, his smug smile making me want to shove my fist into his face. “What y’all got going on over here?”
When I say I didn’t like that fool, I really meant that shit. Enzo was a well-known music producer, and he had ties to damn near everybody in the industry.
From the outside looking in, he seemed cool, and he was always the life of the party. But if you stayed in his circle long enough, you would learn that he was into some dark shit, and he wasn’t safe to be around.
“Not shit. You good?” Mecca replied, grinning from ear to ear.
“Yeah, I’m chilling.” Enzo looked back at me. “What’s up with you?”
Ignoring him, I turned back to Mecca. “I’m about to head out.”
“Already? It’s still early.”
“Yeah, well, I’ve got shit to do.” I dapped him up. “I’ll catch up with you later. Keep it together tonight. I’m not trying to see you on the blogs in the morning.”
“No worries,” Enzo said as he squeezed Mecca’s shoulders. “I’ll make sure he’s good.”
I knew that was a lie. But it wasn’t my job to keep Mecca out of trouble.
Nobody could.

I let out a lazy sigh and stretched, arms reaching toward my bedroom ceiling as the calm of the morning settled over me.
“That was one hell of a night,” Eli whispered, pulling me closer.
I rested my head on his shoulder. “Yeah, makeup sex always hits different.”
“Definitely. I’m glad we talked it out.”
“You mean, you’re glad wefuckedit out.” I giggled. “We didn’t talk about much of anything.”
“I beg to differ. We both screamedsorrywhile I was stroking you from the back. If that’s not talking, I don’t know what is.” He buried his face in my neck, kissing me soft and slow.
