My body felt light, my mind clear and goosebumps covered my arms as I lay wrapped in Creed’s arms. After having sex the two of us showered, heated up the food I cooked, then retired back to his room once we were finished. Bella lay at the foot of the bed and was eager to come into the room once we were finished.
Creed had said what we did was simple, but it was more than anything I had ever done with Rome. My body felt like jello the first time, just from the head he had given me. While it wasn’t exactly how he was with Dedra, I was overly satisfied. Jealousy hit me thinking about how he had been with someone more experienced. He mentioned a club he visited and looking at him I would have never expected him to be part of a sex club, let alone have a room at home. Just the thought of him being with someone else in either made my stomach churn.
“What are you thinking about so hard?” he asked against my neck.
Sighing, I closed my eyes, embracing his warm breath against my skin, and sank back into him.
“Are you gonna continue seeing Dedra?”
Creed stilled then his lips left my neck. I leaned forward slightly and looked over my shoulder so I could see him, waiting on an answer.
He eyed me silently. My heart thumped irregularly and I scraped my bottom lip with my teeth.
“No, I’m not.”
“Really?” My eyes widened and my brows shot up to my hairline.
He flashed me a crooked grin. “Yeah, girl.” He dipped his head and pecked my lips. “Shit with me and her wasn’t serious. We both used each other for sex and?—”
I frowned. “I don’t want to hear about you sleeping with her.”
“And it didn’t go any further than that. She still did her own thing at the club and we hooked up when it was convenient.”
“What about other girls? Are you going to sleep with other people when you visit your club?”
He reached out and brushed his hands over my braids. “Are you asking me for exclusivity?”
I cleared my throat then lay back down, focusing on the wall across the room. “I probably don’t have the right to do that since I’m still technically engaged to your brother and need to handle that whole situation.” I grew quiet for a second. “But I don’t like the thought of you with other girls.”
Heat crept up my neck at my confession. Creed lowered back on the bed and tightened his hold around me.
“Right now my attention is occupied. I don’t have any interest in venturing out to anyone else.”
A small smile crept on my face but disappeared when my eyes fell on my hands and my engagement ring shined up at me, causing a knot to form in my stomach. I had grown so accustomed to having it on that it felt natural, but I knew I needed to depart with it if I planned on ending things with Rome. Each time I looked at it I got a reminder of how manyyears I’d wasted and how my life was completely different from what I planned it to be at the beginning of the year.
I pulled the ring off and reached over to set it on the nightstand.
“You know you didn’t have to do that,” Creed said.
“I know, but it was time. Plus it doesn’t feel right wearing it anymore.” I wet my lips. “And I have a request.”
He chuckled. “What is it?”
“I want to be the one to teach you ASL from now on. I appreciate you learning it for me and Camilla teaching you, but I can take over now.”
Creed pressed his lips against the back of my neck again. “If that’s what you want then I won’t complain.” I closed my eyes and sighed as his teeth sank into my skin.
Suddenly I was flipped onto my back and Creed was hovering above me. His eyes bounced around my face before he lowered his mouth to meet mine. Reaching up, I wrapped my arms around his neck.
Warmth I never felt before wrapped around me and a sense of peace covered me.
Usually after sex I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied. While I loved Rome there was never any passion between us during sex, not like tonight with Creed. That scared me. It had only been a short period of time and I felt like I was already fully gone over this man.

“Oh there’s some fine ass men here. Cousin, you brought me to the right place!” Summer grinned and knocked her shoulder against mine.
