“So, you missed me?” War’s intense gaze was on Cali, traveling over every inch of her body like he was cataloging her features. Immediately her nerves spiked, however, she played it cool with a one shouldered shrug.

“Yeah a little bit,” she replied anxiously, her voice breathy and sensual, causing his dick to thicken.

“Enough to have you pulling up to my crib?” War’s left brow hiked and this time Cali didn’t hide her true feelings.

She smiled widely before delivering a soft eye roll, which War found adorable. She was adorable and sexy and smelled like strawberries or some kind of sweet fruit. Even with the distance between them her sweet scent teased him and had his dick growing against his thigh more with each second that passed.

“Yeah that much,” Cali confessed, dropping her eyes to her cupcake, tugging at the wrapper before she lifted her gaze to him again.

“You sure you don’t mind?”

“You’re welcome at my place anytime you want, Cali. I don’t mind. I like you being in my space. It feels good.”

Cali’s eyes crawled to his which expressed the confidence behind his words. There was no way to misinterpret the meaning.

“Oh, okay.”

“How was your week?”

“Umm, long I guess.” She laughed nervously. “I don’t do much so time moves kinda slowly. I suppose I need to figure out my life. I’m too old to not have it under control yet.”

“There’s no timeframe on figuring things out. Don’t beat yourself up over not rushing into some shit you really don’t want or believe in.”

“I suppose that’s part of the problem. It shouldn’t be this complicated to construct a life plan.”

“What makes you happy?”

“Not much these days. I’ve only ever had bullshit jobs. Just enough to keep the bills paid. I’ve never been one of those ‘this is what I’m going to be when I grow up’ type of kids.”

“I feel you. I guess that’s never been me either. I’ve always had my mom’s support but seeing her busting her ass to raise two kids on her own kinda pushed me into survival mode. By the time the streets sucked me in there was no turning back. She hated it because I worried the shit out of her but she also knew I had my own path.”

“Streets, huh?” Cali arched a brow, which had War nodding.

“That’s my past and nothing you need to worry about.”

The two stared at each other in silence. Cali finished off her cupcake while War simply held his. He was too focused on the way her lips moved, the way her thighs spread, and the way her neck was exposed because her hair was pulled into a ponytail at the nape of her neck between her shoulder blades.

Once again she had a fresh face and it had War wondering if that was her preference. He liked her without makeup. She was naturally beautiful anyway. The hoodie she wore was a little more fitted so it stopped at her waist and he didn’t miss her nice round ass, exposed from her leggings clinging to her, along with other things that had his dick completely bricked.

“You don’t like it?”

War’s eyes bounced down to hers, wondering if she could read his thoughts until he realized she was looking at the uneaten cupcake in his hand.

“It’s straight. I’m not really a sweets person.”

“Oh sorry. I just didn’t want to show up empty-handed.”

“You don’t have to bring things as an excuse to come see me.”

“That’s not what this was.”

“No?” War’s eyes bore into hers. Cali watched intently as he placed the cupcake down on the counter and slowly made his way to her. Her breath was trapped in her throat when he used his body to spread her thighs wider to accommodate for his presence. War’s eyes never left hers, they simply closed when he leaned in and allowed his lips to brush across hers before speaking against them.

“Then why are you here, Cali?”

“Because… I… missed you,” she released with a staggered breath following.

“I missed you too. Can I show you what I missed?”
