“Yeah…” I glanced at the door. “She’s the one and it doesn’t make a bit of sense because I barely know her and feel like I’ve been with her all my life.”

“Ah fuck, she really put that shit on you.”

I chuckled and nodded. “She did.”

It wasn’t just about the sex, but I wouldn’t tell him that. Mostly because I couldn’t explain why I felt the way I did, but I knew Keiris was my one. It didn’t have to make sense, but it had to happen.

“Let’s go and hopefully she’s still out there.”

“If not, let me get her address so I can shoot my shot.”

“Fuck no.”

We walked to the door and the minute I stepped out of it her eyes were on me. She was sitting on the same bench I’d cuffed Jordan to the night I’d met her. It was crazy how things had come full circle.

She was here for me.

“He thought you would have bailed after all that.” Tynan walked right up to Keiris and smiled down at her. She returned one, shaking her head as her eyes darted past him and landed on me.

“It will take a little more than that to make me bail on your brother.” She turned her attention back to Tynan who smirked and nodded.

“I think you’ve seen the worst of it so the more I think about things, being indoctrinated into our family this way was probably the best. At least you know what you’re dealing with. But…” He glanced over his shoulder at me. “I might be lying when I said you’ve seen the worst.”

She frowned then raised a brow, peeking at me before she asked. “What else is there?”

“That nigga snores like a gotdamn bear, can’t cook for shit, and I’m pretty sure he has no fucking clue what being romantic means.”

Her smile surfaced slowly but blossomed so beautifully. “Hmm, I might need to take all of this under advisement before I fully decide.”

“I like her, Bee. She’s pretty and smart.” Tynan dropped an arm around her shoulder. “How about we…”

Before he could finish his sentence I detached Keiris from his person and had her against my chest with my arm draped across hers.

“Ah shit, we done stuck a nerve with his hostile ass. Tell him you’re not gonna bail so he can relax.”

Keiris tilted her head back into my chest and grinned at me. “He knows I’m not going anywhere. I appreciate his peaceful place and his dick.”

“What the hell.” Tynan barked a laugh. “This conversation turned into one I have no interest in hearing. I’mma let y’all have that. Let me go find some business of my own because clearly I have no desire to be a third wheel.”

I chuckled. Keiris pulled away and dipped under my arm. She inched closer to Tynan and spoke softly like she didn’t want me to hear.

“Are you okay?”

His eyes thinned and darted over her head to me then lowered to Keiris. “Yeah I’m good. Don’t worry about what you saw here.”

“I’m worried about you.”

He released a sigh and I swore I felt my heart flip a few times. She didn’t have to give a damn but she did.

“You don’t have to worry about me. He does enough of that on his own.” Tynan smiled and tossed his chin to me. When our eyes met, I felt his thoughts.

She’s the one.

I know.

“Good and for the record, she’s a shitty person. You don’t owe her any space in your heart or your head.”

Tynan nodded tightly. “I’ll keep that in mind.” He glanced at me. “I’ll get with you later.”
