“About the promise.”

Jas’ head swung my way, eyes grew wild. I could tell he was stunned. But I knew.

“I remembered,” I shared shakily. “Rose. The first time you visitedDella, she toldyou—not me—to fight for the promise. You and I had a rift right after you shared more of your past with me, but Rose is different. She sees a lot. When she said that to you, I dismissed it but knew it was a part of your spiritual journey. Had to be; Rose picked it up. What’s the promise, Jas? Was it something you pledged to God or what He said He’s holding for you?”

There was another long pause for a spell as I prayed he wouldn’t close up on me. I wanted to know. I needed to understand Jas. The shit between us was that critical.

Instead, he used his palms to lift himself from the pool reverse-style. Then he reached for my hand. “C’mere. I got something to show you.”

I took his hand and let him help me to my feet. Somewhat unsteady, I followed Jas into the shadowy area of the deck beneath the upper level. He took me by the neck, pulling me into a savage kiss. His big body curled over me, arm clutched me to his chest where I could feel the wild galloping of his heart. Jas’ tongue was communicative—loquacious, in fact, filling the ears of my heart with confirmations and truths. When he physically instructed me to the long lounger, my thighs opened for him automatically.

Swallowing back a cry shooting from my throat, I watched fixedly as he rid himself of his swim trunks. The shaft of his dick slightly curved to his belly and thick. He used a nearby towel to wipe his body down, pre-gaming me. Jas tossed the towel and crawled on top of me, yanking me down to meet his hardness, leaving my lungs along the way. I wanted him, thrilled by his need for me, and under shitty circumstances.

I reached up for Jas’ mouth, finding his tongue right away. His hand was below, shifting my bikini to the side again, and in one blunt thrust, he was inside of me. My sex cried, and I gasped against his mouth. He reared his hips and lunged into me again. I was caged between the lounger and his wide pulsing crest, the beat of his raging heart, and the fury of his passion.

And I took it. Until my stubborn swollen walls relaxed to invite Jas in. I endured all the blessed nuance of delicious girth. I loved it.

And I love you…

After pulling up to the airport, we left the van. Amy and Rainey headed straight for the jet, already juiced up and waiting for us. I carried Chivon. My baby was cranky; the travel may have been too much for her system. We were about to resume our normal time zone, and I was worried about her adjustment. She clasped my neck tightly as we approached Bella and Francesco, standing in front of a nearby car.

I held my hand out to him. “Can’t say thanks enough, man. The shit was life-changing.”

“Grazie.” He bowed with a hand on his chest. “You’re welcome back anytime, Sinclair.”

Ashira moved in for a quick hug. “Thanks, Francesco.” Her smile tight and eyes watery.

“Awww!” Bella cried. “Look at this one.” She pulled Ashira into a hug.

“I know,” Ashira giggled. “I’m a mess.” She waved herself off, rolling her eyes. “It’s been amazing. I’ve been to Brazil, St. Vincent, Paris,Red’s Island, Costa Rica—shoot, evenSaint Justin! I’ve seen natural beauty and had fun excursions. Butneverhave I ever had a spiritual intervention on vacation. The luxury ofThe Bellahas been a safe harbor to explore the beauty of Europe. The energy and atmosphere created by you and your accommodating staff…” She shook her head, pressing those lips together.

“Mark me good onYelp,” Francesco smirked.

Ashira’s face screwed. “You’re onYelp?”

When Bella, Francesco, and I laughed, she caught on. Ashira rolled her eyes, fighting not to laugh, too.

“Daddy,” Chivon whined next to my ear. “I—” She yawned. “I gotta go potty.”

Ashira rubbed her leg, lying against my stomach.

“His vessel isn’t opened to the public, dear,” Bella sweetly explained, roping her arm around Ashira again. “Only special friends and their wonderful referrals. You and your lovely family are no longer referrals. You’re family now. We look forward to hosting you again.”

Ashira humbly nodded. “I sure hope so.”

“And I’ll be visiting the States later this year. I’d love to see you and your family while I’m there,” Bella proposed to Ashira.

Her eyes shot over to me, and I wondered if it was because of the family reference again.

“You let me know, and I’ll roll out the red carpet for you.” Ashira squeezed her hand. “It’s my promise.”

Once the final rounds of hugs were over, we boarded the plane. I carried Chivon up the stairs while reading a text from Jos-Renee.

A sudden crackling broke in the air having my eyes open in the dark. I could feel the engine beneath us, reminding me we were still onPrism Built. Then a growing odor hit my nose. I shifted my head up and saw my baby’s ass inches away.

Chivon…

I sat up. Looking at her feet near the headboard and her arms stretched toward the side of the bed, I shook my head. Babies farting in my face and kicking me in the bed was my life now. I shifted to the edge of the bed and rubbed my face awake. Within seconds, I thought of her. And thinking of her now made me crave her. I arranged pillows around Chivon and left the room in the back of the jet. The lights were low towards the front.
