“I wish I was there.” Soul shifted to kiss my chest through my open shirt. “Christian is so…”
“So what?” I asked, inhaling sharply when his lips closed around my nipple.
“Sexy,” he supplied, “But I can’t ever tell what he’s into. Out of all of us, he’s the cagiest when it comes to his love life.”
He raked his teeth over my raised nipple and kissed away the pain. But he didn’t take it further than that. Sometimes he just liked having his mouth on me.
“Yeah,” was all I had to offer as my mind wandered.
This morning when I opened Harlow’s legs, my mouth watered at the sight of Christian’s cum dripping out of her. Her pussy looked so pretty covered in him, but in the moment, I couldn’t get a read on whether Christian wanted me licking up his cum.
I mean, we’d never even kissed. So, I’d kissed Harlow instead, letting my fingers slip through their shared release while Christian watched.
We didn’t check anything new off her list this morning, but something had definitely shifted.
“I was brainstorming our first date,” Soul said through a yawn, bringing me back to our conversation.
“Yeah?” I kissed the side of his head.
“Mhm. We can go to the nature preserve. They have a new boardwalk that goes over the water.”
He spoke as I grabbed his hand in mine and started massaging his palm the way I knew he liked.
“Group date,” he explained. “I like it when we’re all together.”
“Then we’ll go together.”
Silence fell on the balcony as I massaged his wrists and forearms, working out the tension and kissing him every time he relaxed more into me.
This was my favorite thing. Taking care of the people who meant everything to me. And Soul rarely sat still long enough to let me do it.
“That feels good,” he sighed when I moved on to the center of his palm, applying pressure and massaging from that point out to his fingers. “You always take good care of me.”
“Don’t you deserve it?”
“Mm,” he sighed as his head lolled. “Yes.”
“Then let me take care of you.”
Soon, his head was in my lap, massage forgotten in favor of watching the water through the balcony railing.
I switched to running my hand up and down his back.
He sank into me fully and I knew this man was two blinks away from sleep. But he was trying to stay up because it wasn’t even nine o’clock yet. It was cute.
“If I fall asleep, wake me up when Harley and Christian get home.”
“Okay, baby.”
He moved his head to kiss my knee. “Love you, Rico.”
“I love you too, Soul.”

“Sweetie, wait a second,” my mother called just as I grabbed the door handle to get out of her car. “There’s something I want to ask you.”
I turned around at the quiet seriousness in her tone. I was way too anxious to try and decipher what she wasn’t saying. “What’s up, mama? Is everything okay?”
