“As much as it sucks, it is. It’s reality. I miss my mom and dad every single day. Now more than ever because I need them to see that I’ve become exactly who I promised them I would.”
“They see you, Mommas. I know they do.”
She wrapped her arms around me, resting her head against my chest.
“I’m tired. I want to go to bed.”
“Me, too.”
Unable to resist temptation, I slapped her cheek, cupping her ass in my palm and making that motherfucker jiggle. The low growls of Midnight and Ghost were alarming and comical at once. I halted to address their foolishness. Both of them niggas had crossed the fucking line.
“Thing one and two, take y’all ass downstairs somewhere. This mine. I don’t know what y’all motherfuckers thought it was. Better chill the fuck out and watch who you growling at.”
“Baby.” Glacier chuckled. “Seriously? They’re just dogs.”
“I told you. My limit is hell. Motherfuckers go low and I go the lowest. Did you hear them niggas trying to growl at me all low and shit?”
With a shake of the head, she led me out of the room.
“I’m not sure where I’m going, but please lead the way. I am in dire need of sleep.”
“Me, too. I need to take this bowl to the kitchen first.”
“Show me where the bedroom is and you can go downstairs after.”
“There’s a kitchen up here before we get to the bedroom.”
“Hmmm. Fancy.”
“Nah. Necessary when them late-night munchies kick in on my ass.”
I dropped the bowl off and directed Glacier toward the bedroom where she wasted little time climbing in. As much as I wanted to join her, I had to wash away the day before I touched my sheets.
I wandered toward the shower, determined to make it a quick one so I could make it back to her sooner rather than later. My cravings for skin-to-skin contact and a good night’s rest pumped me with urgency. The excitement to climb my ass in bed beside Glacier was possibly immature, but that shit felt too good to consider it anything but authentic.
Ten minutes elapsed before I was back in the bedroom, briefs covering my ass and a towel dangling from my neck. I dried parts of me that were still slightly damp. The cold air made them more apparent as I crossed the threshold of the bedroom.
“Glacier, tomorrow, we—”
Upon realizing she was sound asleep, I let the rest of my statement fall by the wayside. When completely dry, I pulled back the covers on the side she’d left empty. It wasn’t mine, but I didn’t give a fuck tonight. I’d take whatever as long as she was beside me. I gripped her waist and brought her as close to me as possible.
Once I buried my face in her neck, it was lights out for me. I’d never known peace until Glacier. Now that I’d discovered it, I never wanted to live without it.
EIGHT
A night at Makai’s had quickly turned into weeks at his home. Two. I’d slept in his bed fourteen days straight, most times without him present. Ghost and Midnight had become my companions, replacing Makai during the day when he was off to work.
This morning, however, he hadn’t let go of the bed and I was able to snuggle up next to him as soon as I made it in after work. It was the greatest feeling after a long shift. Makai comforted me in ways that made me believe anyone prior to him simply wasn’t doing enough, sexing enough, saying enough, communicating enough, or feeling enough for me or to me.
Perfection didn’t exist, but the thing we were building was the closest to it. Not because disagreements didn’t arise, but because we handled them head—on instead of letting things fester and create larger problems.
My shift was the latest topic of discussion. And as much as I wanted to fold and switch it as Makai suggested, mornings like the one we’d embarked on this time wouldn’t be possible. I lived for them and looked forward to them.
“Makaiiiii.”
Arching my back as I’d been advised, I shuddered as he entered me from behind. My wetness made my melting pot easy to access, again. The intense strokes he’d administered as I laid on my back translated well as our position changed.
“Baby, please.”
