Soul worked at a wellness spa on Rainbow Row. He had for over five years now. Everybody who spent five minutes around him knew how much he loved his job, but I also knew days like this drained him. He may have been magic in my eyes but at the end of the day, he was human and put everything into giving people relief.
He needed someone to take care of him too.
A few pulls later, we ashed the blunt in the crystal ashtray I stole from my granny’s house.
She washotwhen it came up missing, but her ass wasn’t supposed to be smoking anyway.
No words were needed as we watched the late sunset and the people walking up and down the beach.
Onyx Cove was my favorite place on earth. I wasn’t born here, but I lucked up when my father accepted a job here after he divorced my mother.
I loved how peaceful this island was, how Black it hadalwaysbeen, and how everyone here took care of the land as much as we took care of each other.
My birth mom had visited once or twice in the beginning and complained that it was like living in one big HOA. She hated the one-car rule. Hated that you had to catch a ferry to do some decent shopping. Despised that there were only two hotels and they lacked the luxury amenities she craved.
Needless to say, after her first few visits, I ended up meeting her off the island from then on.
Our visits went from every other week to once a month to once every few months. Nadine eventually married again and was out of the country more than she was in it. My dad had done the right thing in getting full custody of me. Even if I didn’t understand it at the time.
Yvette Donovan stepped in when I was seven and I had more days and memories with her than the woman who birthed me.
More days and memories withHarlowtoo.
One thought of her and a smile was back on my face.
“Guess who was in my bed naked when I woke up this morning,” I prompted, massaging the back of Soul’s neck while he laid on my chest.
“Harley,” he said easily. “I know, she was there when I left.”
“Nah.”
He looked up at me, brows dipped.
“Christian came in the room right after you left.”
Fascination replaced the tired look on his face, and he sat up straighter. “What?”
“He didn’t know I was awake.” I lifted my shoulder. The room was still semi-dark when he walked in, but the light coming in from the balcony revealed his lack of clothes. I wasn’t sorry for the way I watched his dick bob against his thigh when he was walking either. “He got in bed and fell asleep beside Harlow.”
“Damn, Christian,” Soul breathed, lying on my chest again.
“Exactly what I said.” I spread my legs and relaxed against the back of the chair so he could put more of his weight on me. “When I woke up again, he was fucking her beside me.”
“I miss every fucking thing,” Soul complained with a playful shake of his head.
Vivid memories of this morning danced around my mind.
Christian had enough dick for two people and his body…watching his arms flex while he held himself up above Harlow and fucked her like that. Hearing their skin slap and the moans they hadn’t even tried to keep quiet. It left me with an appetite I wasn’t familiar with.
“Did you like it?” Soul wanted to know, his curiosity giving his voice a scratchy quality.
“Watching him fuck Harlow? Yeah, I liked it. Ilovedit.”
Soul’s lips curved, but he didn’t say anything. Humming, he cuddled up beside me.
“I think he likes being watched,” I said thoughtfully. It made sense why he didn’t care that I walked in on him yesterday. Andwhy he felt so comfortable getting in bed with us and fucking our girl beside me.
All those years ago, he’d taken her for the first time in front of us. So yeah, it made sense. Maybe it didn’t even cross his mind what he was doing, but it was sexy as hell to witness.
