“Yeah, Caroline was here again, but I’m good. You?”
She nodded, not bothering to answer me vocally, so I knew something was on her mind. I wouldn’t press her. Cartier would open up when she was ready.
I cut my music on, and we ended up knocking out several sets together. About an hour had passed before we were calling it quits.
“Are you on the schedule for tonight?” I asked as we headed out.
“No. Haley has convinced me to get out and do something.”
“Good. You need to get out and enjoy yourself.”
“I enjoy myself just fine at home with you.”
That made me smile, but still. I wanted more for her. “I’m happy to hear that, but I don’t want you holding yourself captive here. It’s a great space, but you need fresh air and different surroundings. Different people to engage with.”
“I know that in my mind. I also know I’ll come out of this funk.”
“And you’re doing great, Tink. It hasn’t been a full week yet. What you experienced was traumatic. No one would blame you if you wanted to shut down. But I know you, and you enjoy people too much to be stuck in that suite all day, every day.”
“What about you? Do you have any plans for tonight?”
I didn’t want to tell her I was planning to find someone to sleep with, so I told her, “I’m going out with Aiyden and Damien,” instead.
“That should be fun.”
I smiled unintentionally. “I hope so.”
She looked up at me curiously, making me laugh. I covered my mouth and tried to pull it back in unsuccessfully.
“Do I need to stay at Haley’s place tonight?”
“Not at all, unless you just wanted to.”
“Mhm. I’m jealous.”
I wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. “Of what, Tink?”
“If you’re going out with those two, there’s a really great chance you’re getting some pussy tonight, Mr. I Don’t Do Casual Sex.”
“I don’t, but you got a nigga dick on brick all day, every day. Somebody has to do something about that.” She stopped walking and wrapped her arms around me. As soon as her mouth opened, I told her, “And it can’t be you.”
With a pout, she stomped her foot and crossed her arms over her chest. Before she could storm off, I grabbed her arm and pulled her into my chest. She gasped, resting her hands against my chest.
“Drop the attitude, Cartier. I told you how I feel about brats.”
“Zay,” she called softly.
Clearing my throat, I released her. She could unnerve me, and that made her dangerous. Hosea the friend was different from Hosea the Dom. It wasn’t my intention for her to see that side of me.
“I’ll uh… see you later,” I said, heading back to the gym so I could shower there instead of at the suite. We needed space at this point, otherwise, I was going to have her pinned against a wall, cumming on my dick.

Cartier
I was so deep in thoughts of Hosea, I didn’t hear a word Haley was saying. Earlier today was the first time I saw that raw, sexual side of him. The way his voice hardened. His playful, yet cold eyes. That commanding grip. The way he immediately took control.
Biting down on my bottom lip, I moaned softly as my thighs pressed together. I’d been thinking about what Hosea could do to me ever since.
