Page 2 of Certified Sin

I can admit they were both sexy as hell too. Sin was dark-skinned, with nice full lips and a temp fade. Reese is a few shades lighter, caramel colored. He had dreads, and you could tell he kept up with them. His eyes were hazel, and that’s really what made the girls go crazy. He’s the man hoe of the group, because every time he goes to these events, he got a different girl on his arm.

“Gentleman.”

Standing up, I walked around my desk, tugging on the hem of my pencil skirt down.

“The next time my door is closed, please knock before you enter,” I stated with professionalism, plastering a tight smile on my face.

Reese bit into his bottom lip, staring at me with lust in his eyes. Sin walked around my body, sizing me up and down.

“Damn, girl! I heard you were fine, but I ain’t know you was this goddamn fine. How you doing, baby?” Sin grabbed ahold of my hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.

I slid my hand from his grasp slowly.

“I’m fine, Mr. Dupree.” I gave him a tight smile.

I know I’m attractive, and I hated the way my body reacted to his touch. I’m five-foot-seven, mocha-skinned, and your girl went to the gym every day. I knew my body was thick in all the right places. I kept my hair cut in a short bob that reached my shoulders.

I’m always on point, never half-stepping.

Turning to the other one, Reese had his hands in his pockets. I extended mine for him to shake because he seemed like the one with all the sense.

“Hi, I’m Ronnie.”

“Sup, Ms. Lady? I’m Reese.” He clasped his hand in mine. “I apologize for the intrusion. We ain’t mean no disrespect.”

I was lost in my head, not realizing I was still holding on to his hand until I heard a throat clear in the distance. From listening to his music here and there, I didn’t think he would sound so polite.

I quickly pulled my hand away like I’d gotten burned, then glanced up to see a smirk forming on Reese’s face.

Stepping back, I put space between us.

“Well, let’s all sit down,” I instructed, turning to my assistant. “Shayla, can you bring these gentlemen a bottle of water, please?”

She gave me a curt nod, then turned to walk away.

Going around my desk, I sat down and busied myself by straightening the papers. Both men were sitting across from me, and I became uncomfortable with the way they stared intensely.

Clearing my throat, I pushed the chair all the way up.

“So, I was told you needed my help to solve a problem. Can you tell me what happened?” I picked up my pen, hoping to get them in and out of here.

They looked at each other briefly, and then Sin started talking nonsense.

Chapter 2

Sincere 'Sin’

“So,I told that nigga to say something else, and I was gone beat his ass. Long story short, the nigga said something else. Feel me?”

I licked my lips, and leaned back in the chair to get more comfortable. Her friend came back and handed both of us a bottle of water before she left the room.

Ronnie waited until the door closed behind her to talk.

“I’m afraid I don’t,” she said, her eyebrows knitted in confusion. You witnessed what happened?”

She asked Reese, and that instantly pissed me off. When I’m speaking, I expected her undivided attention.

“Didn’t I just tell you what went down, ma?” I spat, sitting up higher in my seat. “Why you need the word of another nigga?”
