He placed a kiss on my inner thigh. “That was a lot.”
“Is that a bad thing?”
“Hell yeah. Shit looks like octuplets.”
I shot straight up, knocking him from between my legs. “Shio…”
He pulled me on top of him with a grin. “I’m just fuckin’ with you. You want a Plan B?”
“Are those not illegal in the States?”
“Ain’t shit illegal to me.”
“It is my first time. I will not get pregnant.”
Shio chuckled while rubbing my butt. “Solana…. I’m healthy, and I eat clean most days. My soldiers march, baby. Shya is proof of that, and I wasn’t even up to par then. I’m probably the most fertile nigga in the family thanks to my lifestyle. You will get pregnant, baby.”
“We do not need that.”
He quieted as my vagina ached, coming down from the sexual high. “Naw, we don’t. But let’s worry about tomorrow’s problems tomorrow.”
“Okay…”
I listened to his heartbeat within his chest, not being able to believe what had just happened.
“Shio…” I tried sitting up, but he wouldn’t let me. “I smell blood.”
“You’re bleeding, baby.”
“I told you.”
“That’s your hymen, Solana, not your period. Just chill. We will handle it in a minute.”
I heard a door slam above us and was reminded where I was.
I groaned. “They are going to know we had sex.”
“And. They be fuckin’ their damn selves.”
I nudged his chest. “They do not.”
“Yeah. Aite.” He chuckled, his after-sex voice churning my insides.
Not knowing how else to say what was on my mind, I did what he said early and just said it with confidence. “I would like to see Shya.”
Without taking a beat, he responded, “We have plans tomorrow. I was going to let Dasani’s sitter watch her.”
My heart fell into the pit of my stomach. “Plans with Bahati?”
“Solana.”
“No.” I cleared my throat. “It is okay. Bring her anyway. She can stay the night. If it is okay with her mom.”
“I’ll bring her. Maybe you can get her to talk.”
“Good.”
I yawned, feeling my eyes go heavy, although I knew I needed to stay awake. I did not need to sleep in Shio’s arms like they did in the movies. I needed to create a safe distance from Shio, but it was hard to when he would not let me go. I sighed, giving up and letting the sleepiness carry me away.
