CHAPTER 1

REMY

I was standing in the hallway all I could hear was my brother and his girlfriend argue about me and Rein being here. I couldn't take it this was the 3rd night they was going at it and I wasn't going to keep hearing this so I was putting our stuff in the car. I went into my room it was bare of everything that belonged to us except my bed and her bed.

"Come on Rein it's time to go we will get our own place we don't need to be here where we are clearly not welcomed" I picked up her sleeping body and left the room.

I was leaving the house and put his house keys on the coffee table as I left, after locking her in, I got in the car as I was starting up the car my brother Rodney came to the front door calling out to me.

I just ignored him and was out of there I drove for about an hour to my mom's house she always said we had a place there so I called her and she told me to come move in with her, that's what I did once there I hugged my mom and we went into the house.

I laid her down and spent the pass hour bringing our stuff in, after I was done I was dead tired I got in the bed next to Rein and I was out in a matter of minutes.

SAL

I just got done painting at the children's hospital well some of it I still had more to go. I love do this type of work where they don't need to pay me just seeing the kids all happy about the painting was payment enough. I was going to have to come back for the next few days to get finish but the kids here would talk to me so it made the day go by faster.

I had some other stuff to take care of with this chick Francine so I called Francine and asked to come over to her place after work. Francine was excited beyond words. Rarely did I call her out of the blue and just ask to come over. She thought I must have some special reason for wanting to see her and hoped that I was ready to pop the question.

I got to Francine's place around 7:45. She came to the door with a kiss. I returned the kiss, but a sigh wasn't far behind. Francine knew immediately that something was wrong and she didn't like the feeling.

"I need to talk about something with you," I said.

"What's up" she asked looking at me.

"This shit between us is over," I said bluntly.

She sat down then stood back up and looked at me like I was fucking crazy.. I never made any promises to her I never said I loved her or gave her any reason to believe that we were headed to a relationship, but she had hoped. I don't know why I don't do relationships.

"Why, I? You gotta be shitting me the fuck are you for real," she said.

"I'm not shitting you this shit is over," I replied. "It's like this shit between us is not going anywhere I know that we will never have a relationship that's not going to happen," I said.

"But, why now? After all the shit we been doing taking trips and shit" she asked. "What you found another bitch or something?"

"Can you really honestly think that we are going to be in a fucking relationship really no fucking really?" I asked

"Have you been fucking someone else?" she asked.

"Yes I have you think you the only bitch I'm fucking really? Did you think I was going to be faithful to you?" I said immediately.

"You fucking other bitches, so gonna explain yourself?" she said and folded her arms, waiting for me to answer her.

"The fuck you want me to say I told you already I'm fuck other bitches"

"You're a cheater now huh?" she asked

"Bitch, we weren't together, so how would that make me a cheater?" I asked

"Oh so you and me making love the other night, that was just a fuck?" she asked

"Pretty much!" I said looking at her.

"So I guess me thinking you was going to propose to me, and setting up a trip for you to meet my family was a waste of time too right?" She said

"REALLY BITCH NO REALLY THE FUCK YOU MEAN MARRYING YOU? Bitch me and relationships don't go… I gave up on relationships and you know that shit bitch, this shit is done like I said." I said she got up walking to me.

"What's up with you I thought—"she said

"Fran, stop okay this shit is over your done we're done" I said

"But I lov—"

"Stop okay keep the shit I brought you see ya around" I said, and turned around and left. I walked to my car and got in.

"Everything okay?" Keisha asked She was a chick I picked up on the way here..

"Yea everything is good, now put the mouth to work" I said she moved her head right to my lap it was a good drive home.

CHAPTER 2

REMY

Being at my mom's house for about a month now her and my cousin have been getting on my nerve like crazy about going out and being young. My mom was going to keep Rein for me but I didn't want to do it.

I was not getting out of not going to hang out so here I was out shopping with my bestie Laney we been friends for years, back in high school. I was spending money like it was nothing; I made sure I got something for my mom and Rein. We went walking off to the next spot but took a short cut.

"Oh shoot!" I said all most falling so I stoop down without having my ass in the way to tie my stupid shoe. "Laney pause for bit gotta tie my sneakers."

While tying my shoe I heard a whistle, a low drawn out sound causing me to turn my head slowly.

My eyes connected with a pair of brown ones, smirking and dangerous. I stood slowly, patting off imaginary dust off my jeans, never breaking the staring the contest.

I narrowed my eyes at him, picked up my bags and began to walk away with Laney. Just put one foot in front of the other, I said to myself, walk walk walk walk. I didn't have time for a guy like that I need to keep on walking.

"Excuse me miss?" The guy said hoping I would stop, but I kept walking as if I hadn't heard him.

"Blue is he calling you?" Laney asked. Blue I hate that her and my mom of course my brother calls me that stupid nickname. I just shook my head we kept walking, until I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"Excuse me miss?" The guy said touching my shoulder. I turned around with the biggest smile on my face. Is that real or fake? Just like the Jackson's nose it is fake. "So it's not very ladylike of you to be bending down in alleys like that. Didn't your mother teach you better?" Laney gasped, disbelieving that someone could be so rude.

"Sir, and that there isn't gentlemanly for you to be staring at my ass, and then whistling as if it was on display for you. Didn't your mother teach you any better?" I said narrowing my eyes at him.

"Touché, madame. Let me make it up to you and your friend. Come chill out with me, let me get yall a drink."

"No, thank you." I said turning walking away. I knew danger when I saw it and plus I didn't wanna be bother with another man I don't care if I am horny as hell, something about him made me uncomfortable and very cautious. Something about him gorgeous seemed a limited description he looked good very good but the last time I was fooled by a good looking man and left alone and broken hearted.

"Please, bellas, how can I face my mother when I have disrespected a beautiful lady like you, huh?" the guy said at that line, we both couldn't help it we laughed. The guy liked where this was going, if he could get us to laugh he had us.

"Be nice come on" she said I looked at her.

"Sure why not." I said as we turned around.

"Follow me." The guy said and we walked down the block a little to a place called Absinthe. We walked through a very immaculate but empty restaurant kitchen, into a nightclub. "Come ladies take a seat at the bar. By the way my name is Sal, and you are?"

"Remy and Laney," she said so glad she didn't call me Blue.. I just wanted to get this drink then go cause I knew I had to take Rein to her therapy appointment. I watched him make the drinks while he talked alittle. Laney talked more than me I was checking my phone when.

"Yo, Sal you in here?" shouted the intruder.

"Yeah, I'm here and I got company." Sal shouted back.

"Aye, sexy company I like. I like a lot," the new guy said smiling at us…He had tattoos on his face and neck and arms.. Sal didn't have any on his face but everywhere else.

"Ladies, this is my cousin Pauley." Sal said

"Hello Pauley," we said in unison, causing us to laugh.

"Ladies the pleasure is all mine," Pauley said I thought that Pauley was a strange name for a nigga but hey whatever tickles his parents fancy.

"Blue I have to go to the restroom.. Bathroom please" Laney said looking Sal he pointed.

"Want me to go with you?" I asked

"No I been using it by myself so I'm good" she said getting up and walking off I watched Pauley's eyes follow her then he looked at me and smiled.. I sipped my drink and checked my phone.

"Sal I need to talk to you please" Pauley said Sal smiled at me and walked away with his cousin. I was checking my phone my mom text me saying she was taking Rein to the doctor for me, I texted back telling her I was going to meet her there. After a few minute Laney came back.

"What happen what you do?" she asked smiling

"Nothing come on let's go" I said we got our bags and started to leave out the way we came in. The boys were in a heated discussion in Italian. Sal looked up at us and waved us over with a smile. Laney was about to walk to them but I didn't wanna stay no longer than I needed too.

"Sal thank you for the drinks but we gotta go and Pauley it was nice to meet you. Move woman" I said pushing Laney out the door.

"You don't have to leave so soon," Sal said following us

I didn't look back at him we needed to go "Yea we do nice meeting you bye." I said walking out the door grabbing Laney's hand and pulling her out the door we went walking back the way we came I could hear Sal saying something but I tuned him out.

He wondered why I stared at him like that as if I was trying to enter his soul.

CHAPTER 3

SAL

I don't know what just happen but she was acting like she couldn't wait to get away from me. But why I lifted each arm and sniffed myself and I heard Pauley laughing.

"What do I stink or something?" I asked

"No nigga come on don't you have to go to the hospital to work on that painting" he said

"Yea I sure do, let's get something to eat then we can go" I said we went looking for food. 3 hours later I was at the hospital painting talking to the kids that was here. I was having fun, I wasn't going to stay long cause I needed to go home and get some sleep cause I had a club hosting to do at my brother's club. I was done for the day, and I was walking down the hall when I heard a familiar voice so I stopped and went to a room.

I stood there watching her and all she did was tell herself keep reading it was hard to read cause I kept making faces making at the little girl she was reading to cause she would giggle and she would look at her and she would just point at me while giggling and when she did peek at me I would have a straight face like I didn't know what she was giggling at. She would just go back to reading.

"At last the prince came to Cinderella's house. First one ugly sister tried to squash her foot into the slipper. But her foot was too wide and fat. Then the other ugly sister tried but her foot was too long and thin. Please said Cinderella, let me try. "The slipper won't fit you", said the ugly sisters. "You didn't go to the ball!" But Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper and it fit perfectly. The next moment standing beside her was the fairy godmother. She touched Cinderella with the wand and there she was in a golden dress sparkling with jewels and on her feet was the prettiest pair of glass slippers ever seen. The ugly sisters were so surprised that, for once they couldn't think of anything to say. But the Prince knew what to say. He asked Cinderella to marry him.

And then there was a happy wedding. Everyone who had gone to the ball was invited, even the ugly sisters. There was wonderful food, lots of music and dancing. And the Prince of course danced every dance with Cinderella. He would not dance with anyone else. THE END" she read and the little girl just smiled and hugged her.

"Next story will be Beauty and the beast please" the little girl said and smiled I noticed her speech was off a little like the other kids here.

"Of course" she said

"Excuse me lady" I said

"Don't call me that" she said as she got out of the bed putting her shoes back on.

"Ms. Remy or do you have a last name" I said

"Jones my last name is Jones" she said while standing up fixing her clothes

"Okay Hello Ms. Jones so what are you doing here" I said

"Oh can I have pizza, please been good" the little girl said

"I like pizza want me to go get pizza?" he asked

"Yes I like-" the little girl said but was cut off

"Ashley what did we talk about earlier" she said drawing Ashley focus on her.

"Ummm oh yea don't talk to strangers even the ones who have the best candy" Ashley giggles and she touch her nose and smile.

"That's right see him do you know him?" she asked as they both looked at me.

"No" Ashley said shaking her head

"See he's a stranger you don't talk to him, stranger danger! Rest up then we can go" she said

"Okay" Ashley said I watched her lean down kissing her forehead and walked towards the door where I was standing and we walked out the door.

"Hey so we meet again" I said smiling at her we walked away from the door..

"Yes we do, well I need to get going" she said

"No wait umm I gotta get going in a few but I wanna see you again" I said she looked at me in a way I never seen from a woman.

"I.." she said but was cut off.

"Rem come on I ready" a little boy said

"I gotta go" she said and went walking off fast.

I just stood there damn what is up with her. Later that day I was all packed up and my stuff was already taken down to the car.

On the way to the elevator, I looked at the kids playing. A little girl was moving with her walker. When she didn't move fast enough, the kid behind bumped into her and pushed her to the ground, landing on top of her.

Before I realized it, I was rushing forward. The boy who landed on top of her, helped her up and apologized, but I could see the rain clouds gathering as I hurried over.

Sure enough, she started crying. The boy was patting her back trying to soothe her, but having little successes. As I got closer, I realized that she was whimpering more than crying now. I suspected she might just need someone to help her. I walked over and bent down on my knees to talk to her. She was rubbing her eyes with the back of her fist.

"Are you ok, princess," I asked.

The little girl's head came up when she heard the word princess and she stared at me. She nodded her head in response, but she was still whimpering a bit. Picking her up, I hugged her. I didn't know what made me do that, but I just needed to comfort her. She put her little arms around my neck and squeezed.

"Better?" I asked. Again she nodded, this time without the whimper. The other kids got back to the business of playing while I talked to her. "What's your name?"

"Rein," she said looking into my eyes. "Your eyes are pretty,"

"Thanks. My name's Sal," I said smiling at her. Just as I was about to put her down, Jason came upon us, Jason is my younger brother and my do boy hahaha he hates that.

"Hey Sal, what's going on?" he asked.

"Rein just had a little tumble, but she's all right now," I said. "Isn't that right, princess?"

Leaning her head on my shoulder, she looked at Jason cautiously and nodded.

"Poor baby" he said

"I'm going to take you to your mother, Where's your mother" I said, intending to put her down so that she could walk I went getting her walker and was looking around hoping she would point her mother out.

But Rein clung saying, "I want to stay up here, please." God, I was a goner and I knew it. Jason grinned at the look on my face.

"Later, Brother; I'll be at the car," he said before walking off. Rein talked to me the entire time I carried her around asking if this or that one was her mother, a nurse who was watching us tried to get her from me but she didn't wanna go to them. When Remy caught sight of us, she rushed toward us; I didn't know what was wrong I know I shouldn't have been holding someone's child.

CHAPTER 4

SAL

I was worried about what was going to happen but the look on Remy's face she wasn't pissed she was looking worried when she finally got to us..

"Is something wrong?" she asked anxiously reaching for Rein, but she wouldn't go to her either.

"I fell down Mommy and Sal made me feel better," Rein explained. Mommy Remy is Rein's mother. "He's tall. I like it up here,"

"Ok, Rei," She said and smiled at her, "but you can't stay up there forever. Let him put you down."

"Ok, Mommy," Rein sighed clearly not wanting to leave her high kingdom.

"Thanks for helping her," she said, suddenly shy as she tried to avoid looking into my eyes.

"No problem," I said. "I think she was more scared than hurt. She doesn't seem to have any injuries and she said she isn't sore."

"I'm tough," Rein said grinning.

"I bet you are, even for a princess," I said.

"Well it's time to go come on get in" she said going to get a stroller and moved it to us and she helped Rein in it locking her in and she took the walker from me.

"I can carry that downstairs for you" I said

"No it's okay I can put it on the stroller.." she said

"Hey wait before you go I would like to get your number so I can see you later" I said she looked at me then down a Rein.

what.." she said turning around and pointed to a girl.. "Jasmine come here" the girl come to us. "Jasmine this is Sal, Sal Jasmine.. I gotta go bye guys" she backed up while the girl took her spot and she walked off I was too busy looking at her walk away then it hit me she pawned me off to someone else.

REMY

At home I was sitting in the kitchen trying to look for another part time job but couldn't cause my cousin Erica and my own mom was getting on my last nerve. She was once again bugging me about going to some hot club that she heard about. I had just put Rein down for bed and was thinking I'd get a little time to myself when Erica showed up unannounced well to me, my mom didn't look shocked to see her.

"Really Rem, you need to get out and meet people. You're getting stale. You'll forget how to interact with adults in social situations if you keep going down this road," Erica said

"I'm getting stale?" I repeated with a snort of derision. "That's funny, but I'm not a damn piece of bread."

"It's not funny," Erica said. "You know what I mean. You're still young; you need to get out and have some fun. I'm not talking about being a party girl, just get out once in a while and meet people, make new friends."

"Listen to your cousin she knows what she's talking about" mom said

"Oh, and I'm supposed to do this in some sweaty ass club?" I asked

"It's not a sweaty club," Erica assured her. "I wouldn't take you to one of those places. It's called The Grove. It's a very nice, classy social club. I've heard even anyone who's anyone is there. "

"It does sound nice," I said, relenting on my hard stance. "Are you sure there's no cover charge?"

"I'm sure it's open to the public. What do you say? You don't need a date, singles and couples mix there. It's only one night and you'll have a good time," Erica promised.

"Yea go please" mom said

"Oh, all right," I said I was beyond worried I didn't wanna meet any man cause I wanted Rein to have the best mother possible and that required having a parent who was happy with her own life, apart from her child.

"Go shower and get ready go, go" Mom said I nodded and left the living room.

I had gotten dressed and I stood there looking at myself I wasn't sure what I was doing but I dressed and I love this dress and I finally got to wear it. The dress I had on was a favorite and I never wore it but this dress is beautiful.

I look good in this dress Erica wore a hot pink long sleeved silk blended dress with a tiered ruffled skirt and a pearl beaded bodice; a pair of newly purchased matching shoes and drop earrings completed the outfit. Once at the club I really didn't wanna be here I wanted to go home and eat some ice cream and watch tv.

I didn't want a drink and as nice as I could I was telling men no thank you and 2 woman. But now we been here for an hour and a half so I was standing by the table by myself Erica was off doing her and well I was ready to go. I rode with her so it was either find her or catch a cab… I had to find her; I went walking around the club looking for her. These shoes was not walking looking for someone in a crowded club shoes.

After about 15 or 20 minutes of not finding her I was just going to have to leave then text or call her telling her I had left. "Maybe she's over here somewhere" I said to myself as I went moving my way through the crowd when someone grabs ahold of my wrist.

CHAPTER 5

SAL

I was in the club doing my thing with my brothers and cousin and my sister. We were having a lot of fun people was having fun the club was making money bottle services and all that shit… I was looking around when I saw her, she was here Remy was here. I was watching her ignoring all that was around me, a man came up and asked for a dance but she declined.

Unknown to me someone was looking at me; Gavin wondered what was holding my attention. Then he followed my line of eye sight and saw the woman. He thought she was very attractive, "Pretty," he thought. But I had dated many pretty women. He knew that I was obviously interested.

Gavin had to admit that although I don't date and I don't chase after any woman, he'd never seen me give Francine or any other woman the almost brooding look I was giving this woman who was a stranger. As a matter of fact, he'd never seen me look at any woman like that.

Fortunately, he already had the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He'd hope that I would find that in someone, but now he wasn't sure. He knew I wasn't one to talk about relationships. Still my interest in this woman was odd, especially given the fact that he didn't know her but he didn't know I knew her.

At my age, it wasn't beyond reason to know that I wasn't ready to settle down and start a family of my own. Gavin knew our parents would be ecstatic if that happened if I just got in to a relationship and stuck with it. They've been hinting at for a while but I wasn't happen. I never dated any woman at all. Francine lasted longer but she never met our parents or anyone who's super important to us, she met just those who come to the club and that's it.

Gavin might have continued to ponder the situation, but Iason asked him a question pulling him out of his musings. Giving his attention to our younger brother, he asked him to repeat the question, not failing to notice the slight frown on my face when I looked over at him.

I had seen Gavin turn his attention to Remy. I was shocked with how possessive I felt. I didn't know her really, yet there was some type of pull towards her. I looked at the girl who was in front of me dancing on me, rather than focusing on this chick and against my will, my eyes went back to her. I saw another guy come up to her, I was glad when I saw her brush off the guy that tried to get too close. Would she do that to me if I approached her? I was watching her then I noticed she was going towards the crowd was she leaving already. With that thought I left the VIP section and got down to the dance floor focused on stopping her..

She was making a beeline through the crowd I got to her and grabbed her wrist. She was about to tell whomever it was that she didn't want to dance, when she turned around.

"You aren't leaving already, are you?" I asked

She closed her eyes briefly and sighed before turning around where she found herself much too close to me. She could feel the heat of my body, the woodsy scent of my cologne gently teasing her senses.

"No. I'm not leaving," she whispered, although that was exactly what she was intending.

"Then you won't mind to dance with me? This is a good song it's Chris Brown everyone loves Chris Brown right?" I asked

"I don't mind," she said, her voice barely a whisper. The song was Back To Sleep, a very seductive slow tune I watched her face she smiled when he started singing, he must be her favorite artist. I gathered her in my arms, urging her closer still. With her heels on, the top of her head reached just at my shoulder which made for a very sweet, intimate fit. One hand enfolded hers on my chest, while the other sat on the curve just above her nice ass. She relaxed determined to enjoy the feeling of being held in someone's arms.

Laying her head on my chest, and closed her eyes and to be honest we was in our own little world. After the song ended, I continued to hold her. When she looked up again, her gaze was met by my sensuous smile. I stroked her hair and then brushed it back behind her ear with a deep sigh. That simple gesture had her heart fluttering with warmth and tenderness.

"We need to talk somewhere much quieter," I said. Without waiting for a reply, I clutched her hand in mine, turned and headed for the door.

"Wait." She said stopping I stopped walking and looked at her I was not about to let her get away from me. "I need to let Erica know that I'm leaving. She's my cousin I need at least look over there for her"

Nodding, I let her lead me around the room until we found Erica the whole time looking for her I had woman throwing their pussy at me wanting to go home with me or go to the office to talk, but I was busy with Remy to really reply. She found Erica chatting with two niggas. She tapped her on the shoulder and made her apology for the interruption. Her cousin's eyes widened when she saw me standing there.

"Damn!" She thought.

Excusing herself, Erica put some distance between us and her companions.

"Hey sorry about that everything okay?" Erica asked

"I'm just coming to let you know I'm leaving," she said. Erica looked at her then at me, "Oh this is Sal; Sal my cousin Erica." Her cousin was worried about her seeing that she was leaving the club with a man she just met, as far as her cousin knew she just met me. Not just any man, but Sal Brown I could tell by the look in her face she knew who I was.

I led her out of The Grove to my car, a baby blue Lambo; I opened the door for her helping her in before I closed the door. We were quiet during the drive with she was left to ponder her actions. She didn't know where we were going, but she knew that her decision to leave with me was monumental. However, she resolved not to think beyond the here and now, so she suspended her doubts and prepared to enjoy the ride.

CHAPTER 6

REMY

45 minutes later we pulled up to Sal's home, which was more like a mansion. My heart started to beat faster as reality returned and I once again questioned my judgment. I didn't need to be concern about Rein, but my own actions were another thing. I didn't know what to think, what to feel; I just knew that some sort of insanity must have taken hold. When it came right down to it, I didn't even know him.

He came around and opened the car door for me while I was still deep in thought. When I looked up, I was almost startled to see him. Knowing that I was still trying to process everything, he gave me a reassuring smile as he held out his hand. We went in and once in we went to the living room where he used the remote to start the stereo. The volume was low, unobtrusive if we wanted to talk, but along with the soft lighting it set a romantic mood. He pulled me into his arms and led me into a slow dance around the room, his moves smooth and confident. Even if he hadn't been a great dancer I would have taken any excuse just to be close to him. As it was, he knew how to move his body.

I knew with all this I had to keep a level head. After a few minutes of sensual awareness of each other, he looked into my eyes and smiled.

"This is where you get to say no. I need you to make love to you; I don't want to wait a minute longer. But, say no, and I'll just enjoy the music with you in my arms." He said

I couldn't have said why, but I trusted Sal. Caressing his shoulder, I whispered, "I'm not going to say no."

Sal kissed my forehead and let his eyes scanned my face.

"Is Rein some place where she can spend the night?" he said Happy that he thought of my daughter, I nodded.

"Yes, she's with my mom." I said

"Good," he said with a wicked grin, "you're all mine tonight."

He quickly scooped me up and carried me to his bedroom I don't know what I thinking on the way to his room, once there he put me down, he undressed me deliberately, building the anticipation. Then he quickly dispatched his own clothing.

He caught his breath as his gaze sought every inch of my nude body. He leaned down to kiss the tip of one my breast, flicking his tongue around the areola and then sucking into his mouth as his arm slid around my waist. My body trembled as he gave the other nipple the same attention.

"Sal..." I groaned, twinning my fingers into his hair.

Upon hearing his name uttered with such urgency, He grunted, his dick swelling to full erection. But he was only beginning.

Kneeling, he held my hips firmly as his lips traveled down the middle of my body, stopping momentarily, his tongue delving into the deep well of my belly button. Moving on, he kissed my abdomen, groaning as he inhaled my scent I was beyond turned on.

"Ohhhhh, Sal!" I wailed as I tried to maintain my stance, my legs trembling.

My cries were music to his ears as he continued his exploration, his tongue traveling back up my body to nipple my aching ample breasts.

I stroked his head, panting as my heart rate increased and my feminine core pulsed. With a hand on my butt, he lifted and separated them. Then, before I could fathom what he was doing, he ran a finger between the dark cleft and caressed my puckered ass. My body jerked, followed by a deep groan and a rush of juices that pooled at the opening of my pussy.

With both hands gripping my ass, He drove his tongue deep into the intimate folds of my body, grunting as he devoured me, the abundance of my liquid desire making him crazy.

Without raising his head he ordered, "Spread your feet."

I quickly complied, further opening my body to him. He continued his ministrations until I pleaded,

"Sal, Sal, pleaseeee. I...L... ohhhhhh... goddddd. Oh, god, Oh, god...oooh...ohhhhhh!"

At the first thrust of his tongue in my opening, I let out a yowl and was hurled screaming from the fast rolling orgasm. My thighs quivered and my pussy spasmed as he made a meal of my feminine parts; licking, biting, sucking while he fed his long deprived need.

He was like a madman.

On and on he indulged himself until I reached heights that I'd never known before and time slowly slid away.

He was lying on his side next to me stroking my abdomen when I came back down to earth. Unsure of what to say, I remained quiet.

While oral sex wasn't new to me, what he had done was. There wasn't anything in I experience to prepare me for the physical and emotional bond I'd shared with him through that one act.

"What are you thinking," he asked, pushing my hair away from my moist face.

"I don't know what to think," I said honestly. "I've only been with one other man and I never felt like this before. We haven't even had intercourse, yet."

"You can still say no, if you don't want to do that tonight," he said. It might kill him.

"I want you," I said knowing it was more than that.

"Then you shall have me. All of me, bae," he said. "You taste so damn good. I'm addicted already." I felt his finger in me and back in to his mouth.

CHAPTER 7

REMY

He settled over me and closed his mouth over mines the kiss was full of passion. He started pinching my nipples and nibbling on my neck as he positioned himself between my thighs.

"Remy look at me." He said "This won't be a one time thing for us. I will not share you. You will be mine and only mine. I want more than just this."

"I will be yours and all yours." I said He slowly started to enter into my body. I was so tight he had to stop and catch his breath.

"Ooo...don't stop...please!"

"I've got to... You're so tight!" He said then started thrusting after another five seconds he kept going.

"Fuck me Sal. HARDER! HARDER!" I screamed and he gave me what I wanted and started giving me his all.

"Is that what you wanted?" he asks me as he fucks my brains out, holding my hands above my head and my legs over his shoulders.

"OOO GOD!... Yes... fuck me fuck me fuck meee!" I moaned as I squirted all over his dick. Sal couldn't take it anymore after I tightened around him. He thrust four more times before he came inside me with the most intense, toe-curling orgasm he had ever had. After awhile I fell asleep, only to wake up 2 hours later.

I laid there for a few minutes I had to call my mom or at least text her, so I got up from the bed hoping I didn't wake him and I left the room going downstairs and got my purse and took out my phone and saw Erica, Laney and my mom had text me.. So I texted my mom back letting her know I was okay and for her not to worry. I then went back up stair to his room and eased back into bed trying not to disturb him. But as soon as I settled facing him, he reached out and pulled me against his body.

"Sorry, I tried not to wake you," I apologized.

"You good bae I was awake before you got to the door. I missed holding you," he said squeezing me closer, although I thought if I got any closer I'd melt into him.

"Sal," I whispered with a sigh, and then felt embarrassed.

"Yes, bae?" he answered, his voice husky.

"Nothing. I...I just like saying your name." I said I was even more embarrassed at that admission, but I didn't want to lie to him.

He chuckled and said, "That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me."

"Thank you for not thinking it was dumb." I said

"It's never dumb when a woman lets a man know she likes being with him," he said as he kissed me.

"Well, I like being with you," I said. I placed my hand on his chest and kissed his jaw.

"Same here" he said and yawned

"It'll be morning soon," I said.

"Yes," he said as he stroked my ass, "the beginning of a new day for both of us." I nodded and snuggled closer without another word I fell asleep.

The Next Morning

I woke up to find Sal still sleeping; he was on his stomach with his head turned away from me. I was not believing what he said yesterday well yesterday and earlier this morning about this NOT being a one night stand and the beginning of a new day for both of us. The man doesn't even know me! So I started to panic I don't need my heart broken again. I try to ease out of the bed to get my things together before he wakes-

"Where are you going?" he grumbled into his pillow.

"Um...I was...going to the bathroom." I said

"Hurry back please." He said

"Will do." I said He never turns around so when he hears a door close he doesn't realize it's the bedroom door and not the bathroom door. I race down the stairs with my clothes in my hands I'd scooped up as I ran out the bedroom I frantically pull my dress on as I look around for my purse grabbing it. I turned on my gps to figure out where I was at, then a cab is called and grabbed my shoes, I'm out the front door and running for the street. I'm pretty sure Sal has some elaborate alarm system in his house so I don't look back as I make the run to meet my cab a block away...

SAL

3 weeks later I was working painting like I normally do. I kept trying to focus on what I was doing but for these past 3 weeks I only been able to think about is Remy. And on top of that it didn't make it any better that she was now working for me thanks to my brothers. I remember that day I woke up that morning to my alarm going off and my phone was ringing, I got that under control but I was like no one is stupid enough to break in here. I was hoping Remy was okay so I went to go check and look for her she wasn't her no fucking where. That's why my alarm was going off she left and didn't say a fucking word. I was beyond heated I took shower and got dressed and went looking for her.

CHAPTER 8

SAL

**FLASH BACK 3 WEEK AGO**

I drove to the hospital where she worked at so once I got there I went right to the floor I saw her on, and I went looking for her. I saw the nurse Jasmine once she saw me she smiled and came right to me.

"Hey Sal how you doing?" Jasmine asked

"Hey Umm is Remy working today?" I asked

"Remy doesn't work here" Jasmine said

"I saw her in those and she was reading to some kids" I said lost..

"Oh she does that she volunteers here while her daughter get her therapy here but she doesn't work here" Jasmine said

"Oh damn where does she work at or do you know where she stays" I said

"I don't know really but I know where her friend Laney stays" Jasmine says

"I'll take that where does she stay" I said I followed Jasmine to the nurse's station and she wrote down Laney's address I remember her she came with Remy to get a drink with me, I nodded and walked away while she was saying something about going out. I left and had to make a few stops first, this last stop I was with 2 of my brothers and 1 of my sister Castor Jr and Gavin and Iole.

They were talking about stuff I think our mom's birthday party next week and what we were going to do for her. And making sure we all was going to be in town so it would be a great birthday for her. My mind was else where's to be honest, I was disappointed that Remy left without saying goodbye or something, but I was not surprised. She was different, not clingy, apparently not that into me but I thought she was from how we talked. I always left women craving my touch but with Remy she up and left like it was nothing. Isn't this what every guy wants, a girl to fuck, who did not want to stay, so what the hell is wrong with me?

"Nigga are you going to be here?" CJ asked snapping me from my thoughts.

"Umm yea I should be I didn't plan anything till after moms birthday." I said

"You okay what's wrong?" Iole asked

"Nothing just got a lot on my mind and I don't know" I said she smiled at me as she looked me in the face and she saw something she had never seen there before, dejection. Good for the girl who did that, love him 'an leave him. I was a pussy hound and I needed a taste of my own medicine she thought to herself. After we were done I was out the door jumping in my car beyond pissed. I didn't want to just show up to her friend's house I had a 50/50 chance she was there or not. I drove for about 50 minutes pulling up to the apartment I got up and went right to the door.

REMY

Later That Day

I was at Laney and Erica's apartment and of course I was talking to them and I told them everything, from the moment we left the club to me running out this morning. They both were shocked and staring at me in disbelief.

"He made you cum three times?" Erica asked slapping my leg.

" Yes, he fucked me into oblivion and I know I can't with him it's just not going to work with us I don't even know him and he don't even know me."

"He knows that pussy good enough for me" Laney said I just shook my head at them 2.

"Are you going to go back to his house or go to the club to see him.. Cause his cousin OMG I can't get enough" Laney said I looked at her.

"You fucking his cousin?" I asked

"Uh yea duh… He hangs out at that club a lot, I'm meeting him there later" Laney said I just laughed at her.

"Are you going to get in contact with him?" Erica asked

"I don't know" I said I try to get back to my thoughts the next thing I know... BOOM BOOM BOOM Someone's knocking, rather breaking down the door. We all stood up looking at the door.

"Who the fuck is that?" Laney said we both looked at Erica.

"Not me this time I swear but it better not be Reggie" she said walking to the door, she looked through the peep hole and smiled then opened the door. I turned back to the table to get my phone.

I turn around to see who it was only to see Sal standing in the doorway. He hasn't crossed the threshold yet and he doesn't look too happy. Erica turns from the door and heads down the hallway to her bedroom she waved Laney to go with her I heard the door shut. Great just leave me here with him and he could kill me.

"Why'd you leave? You for damn sure aren't still at MY HOUSE IN THE BATHROOM." He said as he starts off in a calm voice but is definitely yelling by the time he finishes.

"I'm sorry Sal. Do you not understand how freaked out I am? How freaked out YOU should be? I'm not even your type, you-" I said

"How the hell do you know what my type is and you've only been in my presence 3 times!" he said as he comes in the apartment and shuts the door.

"I don't know! That's part of the problem; we don't KNOW anything about each other!" I said

"Then why don't you get to know me and quit running from me. When have I ever given you any reason to be afraid of me even though you've only seen me and talked to me 3 times?" he asked.

He walked towards me from the door having noticed me apprehension the whole time he'd been there and wanted nothing more than to be back at his home holding me.

CHAPTER 9

REMY

I backed up as he continued to walk towards me until my back met the patio door. Sal didn't stop until we were pressed chest to chest. He then leaned down to my right ear and said in a deep husky tone:

"You're not getting away from me. If you want to go on a date or slow things down, then fine we'll date. We'll also have out first official date tomorrow."

As soon as "You're" came out his mouth my panties were soaked. I was so attracted to this man but I beyond scared of him if he gets too close he will break my heart and I need it broken again. Sal felt my body shudder as soon as he started talking.

"Remy?" he asked "Remy?"

"Yes Sal," I said

"Oh my fucking God," he quietly said in my ear. "Please say that."

"Yes Sal," I said again with more confidence.

As soon as the "AL" was out my mouth he grabbed my hips and pulled me against the instant erection I gave him when I moaned out his name, and kissed me. It was a kiss of immense passion and hunger. He grabbed my ass and squeezed it until I moaned in his mouth. He let my ass go and while he ran his left hand up my body to grasp my breast and pinch my nipple he slap my ass cheek with his right hand then rubbed and squeezed to ease the sting.

"Fuck Sal," I moaned out as I tore my mouth away from his to grab some air.

"Yes, we're about to," he said and kissed my neck as he started unzipping my jacket.

"NO! We can't! Did you forget where we are?" I said. He took a moment to stop leaving hickeys on my neck, raised his head and looked around and realized we was not at his home but someone else's house.

"I remember now thank you." He said then moved a few feet away from me. "I can't be around you right now if we're going to go slow."

"Okay good ummm Sal" I said

"Yea" He said touching my jacket.

"What's your last name?" I asked

He looked at me for a few minutes, then smiled "Brown… My last name is Brown.. Walk me to the door" I followed him to the door opening it he stepped out then turned to me.. "Give me your phone number so I can call you tomorrow and find out where to pick you up" we exchanged numbers and right before he left he kissed me.

SAL

I arrived fifteen minutes early. I rang the bell and waited. I would wait all day if I had to, but I knew she was home. I heard the door open and looked into the face of natural beauty. There was no make-up she simply stepped aside and let me in. The sight of her tongue grazing her bottom lip had me adjusting my weight as my sat in the chair. She went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of juice without asking if I actually wanted any. When she returned she handed me the juice

"I can't go with you." She said I stood up looking at her.

"What? Why not?" I asked walking closer to her she could smell the scent of my cologne. She walked to get our glasses and went into the kitchen I followed her and watched her wash out the cup. I stood there too long and I couldn't take it anymore.

I walked behind her, placed my hands on her waist. I kissed the side of her neck lightly. My kiss sent a shiver through her. She tried to move away, but then one hand moved to her breast. She was not wearing a bra.

"I see you want to stay in today," I said as her nipples became hard at my touch.

"Sal, don't do this to me." She said

"I am not doing anything, but making you say yes to our date. If you say yes, I will stop and we will leave your apartment. If you say no, I will assume you want to me to keep going."

"I can't do this and I won't go with you." She said.

She walked away from me but I grabbed her by her hair and swung her around. My lips came crashing down on hers. My lips devoured hers, her breast pressed up against me I just couldn't control myself. I pushed her against the kitchen wall.

I held both her arms with one hand while my other hand snaked up under her shirt to feel her soft breast. I was lifting her to the counter and I pinned both arms behind her back. I lifted her tank top with my mouth and slowly kissed a path to her breast from her stomach.

She heard me groan "Sal, please."

"Please what?" I asked as I was teasing her. I brought his lips to meet hers and when she returned my kiss I released her arms. I took the opportunity to slide those tiny shorts down her smooth legs only to reveal a lavender thong. "Damn baby"

Her response was a sensual moan as I began to caress her clit. I lowered to the floor until I was kneeling between her legs. I kissed and caressed her thighs until she was moaning and moving closer. I glided my tongue along the length of her wet pussy,

"Mmmmm," she moaned. I threw her legs over my shoulders and went about kissing and licking her pussy until she was pumping up to meet my tongue.

CHAPTER 10

SAL

She ran her fingers through my hair as she brought me closer to the sweetest pussy I had ever tasted. When she was on the verge of coming, I sped up my efforts and swallowed all of her as she releases her sweet juice into my mouth. I then went up to her mouth and kissed her senseless.

"Are you ready for our date, now?" I asked she looked at me then nodded. I let her down so she could go get ready. She walked then stopped and looked at me. "What's wrong?"

"Why me? I googled you yea I wanted to see what was going on here. So I googled Sal Brown came up with Adonis Brown and you wow you always with some beautiful girl that just couldn't seem to get enough of you. Going to your different clubs and art galas of yours showing off your flavor of the week. What do you want from me? I am not your usual flavor if you know what I mean and we have nothing in common." She said

"I don't have a particular flavor, unless you consider sexy a flavor." I said giving a cocky smile I reached for her hand. "I know what you think you know about me. I just want to get to know you, and sex you so good; you don't remember anyone but me."

"Well I don't wanna get to know you I seen all I needed to see please get out of my house" she said I stood there looking at her, I thought for a moment I do have bitches throwing themselves at me why do I need her ass..

"Fine fuck you bitch" I said walking out the kitchen and right out the door slamming it on my way out. I walked to my car pulling out my phone calling one of my bitches just so I can fuck her and leave. For the next 2 weeks that's what I been doing fucking them and leaving them, showing them off at the clubs and taking the top 1 to dinner. Really I'm done with that bitch, fuck her and her goggling ass.

I got in my car and put my walls back up. What the fuck had I been thinking anyway? This wasn't some game and I didn't have room in my life - in me - for anything serious. I don't have time for this emotional bullshit and acting on emotional actions. I was leaning my forearm against the wheel of the car with my head down. My other hand was squeezing my still-hard dick trying to get the taste of her out of my mouth. The car started smell like her and mocked me.

1 WEEK LATER

I walked into my brother's office CJ he was my manager so I had to check in with him when there was work to be done and I knew when he called me that something was up.

"So little brother I have some good news and some bad news" CJ said

"Okay" I said

"Iason is no longer going to be your do boy" CJ said

"What why not I need someone to help me and deal with me and stuff you know that" I said

"I know but we got someone who is willing to work for you and will be there for you for the next 3 months and we can go meet her right now" CJ said as he stood up.

"Her?" I asked as stood up too following him out the office and right to the broad room where I saw Kyle my other cousin walking, he was my somewhat producer you would say but he calls himself my main producer. Walking in I saw Iason and Gavin talking and the woman had her head down while she thumb through her phone.

We all sat down and I pulled out my phone and looked through my text just seeing who texted me I would be lying if I didn't look to see if Remy had texted me but she didn't. Shit I don't care I never texted or called her hell I did take her number out of my phone but I was still looking like the fuck right.

"Okay this is my brother Sal Brown who you will be working with as his person assistant" CJ said

"Hi I'm Remy -" She said but was cut off when I sapped my head up looking at her as she stood up and held her hand out.

I moved back pissed. "Jones"

"Well, hello," Kyle said and reached over and took her hand. "I'm Kyle Fourie - the Grinch's main producer." She brushed stray strands from her face, flustered; unsure about the possessiveness of Kyle's grip. Just like him to be jumping on her like this.

"Remy Jones. We'll be seeing a lot of each other over the next few months then."

"Perfect," Kyle smiled.

"No." I said they all turned in surprise. My gaze had darkened to a glare she almost couldn't meet. Sheer willpower kept her shoulders back and her chin up. I got up and left the room.

"'No'? No what?" CJ asked "What was that?"

"I don't know" Iason said CJ got up and came after me. Needless to say he won the argument and she was my new assistant and I didn't like it but she was and hey whatever.

I didn't feel bad about her carrying my bags of spray paint or going to get me and my niggas food, liquor and bringing girls to the VIP section that I liked. I know that part wasn't right but I didn't care, once Thursday came I pulled up to the studio and got out I saw her I had watched her for at least ten minutes before she saw me.

After an early morning of talking to promoters at the wish-fulfillment foundation; a dismal breakfast mostly consumed in my car, and a lying weatherman singing sunshine all across the country, it was startling to be brought to a standstill by a girl in an off-the-shoulder t-shirt that proclaimed: Music Is My Master. I was sure it had been her smile that had captured me a month ago.

CHAPTER 11

SAL

She was sitting out in the sunlight, her hair in thin twists dancing and irritating her, when she suddenly turned and I caught a glimpse of a smile at a private thought. She stood out, a burst of vibrant color I took in the cinnamon glow of her neck as her hair war revealed more skin with each handful she lifted.

And then Kyle stepped up beside me. "She's sexy. I bet she'd be a wild ride..."

"Shut up." I said

Kyle laughed. "You sound like your next line's going to be 'I saw her first'." Kyle said my jaw clenched only if he knew.

Her arms were still up as she set about the impossible task of trying to make her hair defy the breeze and obey her coiling. The position made her look like a seated ballerina; in fact, all her moves seemed dance-inspired, as if she flowed through her days to a song only she could hear.

Nothing about her was trying to come across as dainty or fragile - she was a beautiful testimony to feminine depth. And it was her very strength that I couldn't turn away from.

"Regardless of who saw her first, I say I know exactly how to unleash her wildness. You may not want nothing longer than a one night stand but I definitely don't." Kyle said I still didn't say shit to him. He was getting on my nerves talking about her like that. She looked up and her eyes suddenly found mine.

I needed nothing more than to look at her, to watch her cross her legs, tie her hair and smile at things that made her happy. An absurd thought I attributed to the poet in me, the dreamer that sang about things that weren't real. Something inside me was already moving towards her even as I stood still, my hands in my pockets. That pull disconcerted me. I watched as she tried to place me, tried to work out why I was watching her... maybe tried to work out why she was drawn to me?

Ha. Wishful thinking, the fuck. She's not drawn to you - you're the only one caught in this web cause if she was she wouldn't have left that morning or she wouldn't have denied the date.

"Oy. Are you even listening to me?" Kyle said snapped his fingers.

"What?" I asked annoyed

"Do you still have what it takes, bud?" Kyle aked. "Let's go up and say hello - see who gets her first. Not just her number - see who fucks her first."

"Are you serious?" I asked

"What?" Kyle said

"I'm not here to make a game out of fucking a girl." I said

"What you're saying is fun," Kyle said looking at me, "but why are you saying it all wrong? Let's try that again - but with this word order: 'Hells yeah, Kyle, I'd love to make a game out of fucking a gorgeous girl I don't know!'"

"I have to work." I said

"We can work and play, though, huh?" Kyle said and gave me a playful nudge. "We used to before what's the problem."

She didn't blink or pretend to be glancing at someone near me. She just watched me for every heartbeat that I watched her. She broke the eye contact when Iason walked up to her, she talked to him then walked into the building. The rest of this week ended and the following week went by with us kinda good I didn't say much to her other than giving orders or Iason was letting her know what will come next, this is how the Month went.

**FLASHBACK ENDS***

REMY

I wanted someone anyone to walk into the room with us I didn't like being in a room with him alone but I had to do it. I was standing there writing down what he was saying to me, I think he was going fast on purpose.

"How many painting are you bringing with you?" I asked as I filled through some papers " I saw it was 20 but how many are you really bringing?" I looked up at him and he smiled at me His smile took on a different shade.

"12 most likely I'll be doing more while there." He said

"Okay do you have names for them so I can label them" I said I was aware of the closing distance, but was still deciding whether to react to it or not.

"No. First I want you to answer me one thing." He said

My eyes met his, but he knew his face had to be as unreadable as mine had been when the light was behind me.

"What?" I asked

Sal took another step. "Do you believe in love at first sight?" he asked

"Excuse me?" I said and tried to laugh his question off, but didn't quite manage. "No."

"Okay." He said and was close enough to smell me now - vanilla, ginger... along with something fresh and juicy. "Another thing: Did you... feel... anything when you first saw me?"

I straightened sharply - the shift in him had become a conscious predator to my senses now. There was definitely something in him that responded more strongly the closer to me he got. He'd spent years of his life staying away from catching feelings.

"What are you doing, Sal?"

He'd been asking himself the same thing for hours now. He wanted me, wanted something from me. But Zeus alone knew what.
