“You’ve been sharing your time with me and more importantly you shared your body, Cali. Anybody that wants something from you is my business moving forward. I didn’t think I had to explain that.”

Well shit. She wanted to be offended but why bother. She loved dealing with a man who understood being on his grown man shit. Having a big dick to match that energy was also a plus. War was not short of either. She knew from personal experience what rested between his thighs and seeing him put another man in his place behind her gave proof of the other.

“Does that go both ways?”

He chuckled lightly and walked up on Cali, lowering his chin when his finger eased under hers to lift those brown eyes.

“I don’t move around like that, love. I enjoy pussy in excess but only from one woman at a time. Until you tell me otherwise, that woman is you.”

“Oh.”

“Any more questions?”

She rolled her eyes softly as a smile spread on her face. “What are you doing here?”

“I was in the area and wanted to come check you out.”

“In the area to check me out or just in the area?”

He placed a kiss to the tip of her nose. “Does that matter? I’m here.” War lifted his head and looked around. “Show me some books and shit.”

“We have a pretty diverse urban fiction section.”

War frowned, lowering his eyes to Cali. “I lived that shit in real-time, I don’t want to read about the fluffed version.”

“Then tell me what you like.”

“I like you.” His hands landed on her hips, pulling Cali into his body. She felt the presence of how much he liked her against her stomach.

“Books, War.”

“Oh, well shit, you weren’t specific.” He grinned and she pushed him away, turning toward the store. War was behind her. “Business and finance.”

“That’s over here. I’ll show you what we have but you have to buy something. I don’t want Reyna to think she’s paying me to spend time with a man.”

“You are spending time with a man, Cali, but the one whose attention you currently have doesn’t mind running up a tab to make sure you’re handling your business and not just wasting your very valuable time.”

A few days later, War found himself at the mall again. His sister Kirsten had talked him into a trip with the threat that he owed her for setting up the small birthday celebration for Cali. He wouldn’t ever deny Kirsten anything she wanted but he damn sure wasn’t in the mood to be grilled about what he was doing with Cali.

He had always been a smart man who could see past the bullshit and Kirsten wanting him to tag along at the mall while she hit his pockets was bullshit. His baby sister was curious about Cali and wanted him cornered so she could get her questions in.

“I wonder if they have the hat too. I’m about to see.” War slouched lower where he was seated and dragged his hat further down on his head. He was tired and not interested in helping Kirsten decide what she was purchasing. His only intended goal was to hand over the cash or card to keep a smile on his sister’s face.

When he didn’t respond she was in front of him kicking his sneaker-covered foot with her own. “Did you hear me?”

“Yeah man, I heard you. Get that shit if they got it so we can get up out of here.”

“Why are you in such a foul mood? You’ve been grumpy all morning, Wardell.”

“I’m cool. Just trying to figure out how the fuck I ended up at the mall back-to-back, paying tabs and carrying bags and shit.”

A few days prior he had been at the same spot with Cali. Well not the exact same spot since his current location was the Dior store but The Shops at the Falls had been his destination with Cali same as it was today with Kirsten.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She frowned then perked up. “Wait, you took a bitch shopping?”

“Not a bitch and not shopping. I had to pick up my watches and Cali was with me.”

“Oh and you didn’t buy her anything?”
