“Did you find the picture yet?” My tone was flat as I tried to hold it together.
“No, I’m still looking.” She chewed on the tip of her nail while she searched through her phone. It was something she often did when she was nervous or anxious.
I couldn’t even begin to relax until I saw whatever it was she was talking about. There were so many pieces to the puzzle that didn’t make any sense to me, and I needed to put them together to understand what happened.
“I found them,” she whispered, holding her phone in front of her. I snatched it from her hand so fast, I almost dropped it. When my eyes landed on the photos, I studied them closely, trying to make sense of things. There was a girl straddling my waist while I lay there seemingly asleep. She wore a black bra and panties, and from the angle of the poses, it looked as if I was naked with the sheets covering my lower half.
I took a moment to study the woman’s face, but recognition never set in. The last thing I remembered from that night was drinking at the bar and then stumbling to my room. I was alone the entire time, so I had no idea where she could have come from or how she had gotten into my room. I shared a room with another teammate, so even if I had brought her up, there was no way I fucked her in that room. One, I wasn’t a cheater, and two, I needed my privacy at all times.
“Something isn’t right,” I murmured, zooming in on two of the photos. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and it caused me to sympathize with Laikyn because, from the outside looking in, it appeared as if I had gotten caught slipping. That wasn’t the case, though, and I was determined to get to the bottom of things.
“That’s all you have to say?” Lai sneered with her arms folded across her chest and her nostrils flared. It looked bad, but I wasn’t about to cop to something I knew in my heart I hadn’t done. No matter what it looked like.
“Laikyn, I understand you being in your feelings. These pictures are incriminating as fuck, but I need you to think with your mind and not your emotions for a moment. When have you ever known me to sleep on my back? We were together for too long, and you know I hate sleeping on my back because it makes me feel like a corpse. I’ve always slept on my side, even when I got drunk. The only time I ever made an exception was when you wanted to sleep on me.
“Look at this right here. My chain is still on, as are my watch and shades. You know I have a routine every night, even when I’m away. I take off my jewelry, take a shower, and say my prayers. There’s no way I brought a woman back to my room, fucked her without even taking a shower, and with my sunglasses on. I’ve never seen this woman in my life, but I know for a fact that I went back to my room alone. I don’t know how this happened, but this is staged.”
The more I examined the photos, the more inconsistencies I noticed. Even the girl in question was odd to me. I knew I hadn’t hooked up with her, but there was only one other way for her to have gotten into my room: someone with a key had to let her inside. My roommate that night was my teammate, John Byer. Based on the photo’s timestamp in the screenshot, it was a quarter ’til four in the morning. He had to have been in the room during that time because the coach gave us a curfew when we were out of town. He didn’t want to run the risk of us being caught up in some bullshit, so he required us to be back at the hotel by two. It didn’t mean we couldn’t keep the party going, but we were required to be in the building by curfew.
“Are you serious?”
“As a mothafuckin’ heart attack. Something fishy went down, and I plan to get to the bottom of it as soon as I get home. I wish you had reached out to me and told me what was going on. I understand you were upset and rightfully so, but if youhad confronted me about this shit sooner, I could have squashed it when it happened.” I glanced at the phone one more time, shaking my head in disgust.
“Do you mind if I send this to myself?”
“No, go ahead.”
Laikyn stood there with a mixture of emotions on her face, and I was sure mine mirrored hers.
Laikyn blew out a sharp breath. “I’m so conflicted right now. I was convinced you were lying, but I still know you, and I can tell that you’re sincere. Most people would be happy to find out their fiancé hadn’t cheated on them, but I feel sick to my stomach right now.”
Tears welled in her pretty brown eyes, and I couldn’t help but have compassion for her. The situation was fucked up all the way around, and I wanted to know who would go to those lengths to try to sabotage my relationship. I didn’t have any enemies as far as I was aware, and my teammates loved Laikyn. None of it made any sense.
“Come’re, man. Don’t start crying because all you’re gonna do is turn me up, and I’m already ready to put my hands on somebody.” She buried her face into my chest as she sobbed. Her cries grew louder, and it ignited a different kind of fire under me. I prided myself on protecting my woman from any pain, but somehow, I dropped the ball and hadn’t even realized how bad it was.
I lifted her small frame in my arms, draping her legs around my waist while I took a seat on the edge of my bed. Her hands covered her face, but I removed them so I could look her in the eyes. The moment her hypnotizing brown orbs locked with mine, I knew I wasn’t about to let her go again. There was a reason the two of us were put in the same place, at the same time, and now that I finally had the answers I needed, there was no way I was going to let her slip away from me.
“A part of me wants to hug you, and the other part wants to shake your ass. I can’t believe this shit.” I exhaled a deep breath, resting my hands on the bed.
“I fucked up. China told me I should have come back and beat your ass, and I guess she wasn’t completely wrong. At least then I would have been able to get all of the facts. I feel so stupid.” Her lips quivered again, but I leaned forward and took possession of them. They were still warm and soft, the way I remembered. We kissed passionately, peeling each other’s clothes off in the process.
I switched positions, laying her on her back. I slid her skirt over her hips and licked my lips at the sight of her neatly waxed pussy.
“You were gon’ give my pussy away this weekend?” I asked, dropping my shorts. My dick was as hard as Chinese math, and I couldn’t wait to slide inside of her familiar walls.
“Don’t get shy now. I can tell this is a fresh wax, and most women only get one before vacation if they plan on getting put through the mattress. Tell me the truth, Lai. You were about to let somebody else get a taste of what’s mine?” I tied my hair in a bun, then leaned down to hover over her.
“I-I have a fiancé.”
“Not anymore.”
I pushed her thighs back, burying my face in her ocean. Laikyn instantly arched her back once I flicked my tongue over her clit. I tried to take my time since it had been a while, but her pussy was like that sweet treat you hadn’t gotten to taste in a while. The way I was feeling, there wouldn’t be any more pussy left to eat after I was finished.
“Oh, Ky,” Lai called out.
It was in that moment that I realized how much I missed her moans and the faces she made when I made her cum.
“Damn, I missed this pretty pussy. You taste even better than I remember.” I buried my face into her center, smearing her creamy nectar all over my face. My tongue slipped between her folds as I lapped up her cum. My hands gripped her thighs to keep them open. I didn’t want anything to get in the way of me feasting on her.
