“Why?”
“Because I wanna hold you for a little longer,” he whispers in my ear. No one has ever said that to me before. My chest tightens as tears burn the backs of my eyes. But Knight doesn’t let go. Heholds me tighter in his arm, his lips gently brushing light kisses along my cheek. It’s nice. It’s … different.
After what seems like hours, I squirm on his lap a little more.
“You need to go,” he says softly.
“Yeah.”
“I want you to stay,” he tells me.
“I have to go. My kids …”
“I know. Tell me you’ll come back,” he demands.
“I don’t know that it’s a good idea, Knight.”
“I don’t have a girlfriend, Lyra, if that’s what you’re worried about,” he assures me. I was a little afraid he had someone, but that didn’t stop me from riding his fingers.
“I …”
“You don’t have an excuse to say no. You’re comin’ back over here. And next time, I’m gonna eat your pussy until you scream my name for the neighbors to hear.” Heat pools inside of me once more as my face flames red. Knight presses a kiss to my neck before allowing me to stand from his lap. I adjust my skirt before looking over my shoulder at him. He grins at me and nods toward my house. He’s silently telling me to go. And I do.
I walk across the yard and head inside. The kids must be asleep because I don’t hear anything coming from their rooms. I check the doors are all locked and turn off the porch light before checking on the boys. Just like I thought, they’re both asleep.
I head into my room and straight to the bathroom before stripping out of my clothes and climbing into the shower. I can’t get the thoughts of what Knight did to me out of my mind. I find my hands slowly caressing my breasts to thoughts of him. It’s wrong. Everything is wrong. My job, what I just let him do. I shake my head, letting my hands fall to my sides. I shouldn’t be doing this.
Tears begin to fall down my cheeks as I wash quickly and climb back out. I can’t stop them now that they’re falling. I wrapmyself in a towel and walk back into my room before dropping onto the bed sobbing. What am I doing to myself? Is this really the best I can do? I’m selling my body, my time to men. What the hell does that make me? My kids would be so ashamed, but it’s the only work I can find that will pay me under the table.
God, I’m a fucking mess.

Knight
Isat outside last night longer than I should have. She left her window open, and I could hear the sobs. It broke my fucking heart for her. I don’t know what she was crying about, but whatever it was, it was tearing her apart. I didn’t like it, not even a little.
“What are you thinkin’ about?”
“Nothin’.”
“Lies, Knight. It’s all lies. What bitch has you so uptight?” Ridge asks once more. I turn my head to look at him before shaking my head.
“My neighbor.”
“What about your neighbor?”
“I finger fucked her on the porch last night.”
“You did what?” he asks as if he didn’t hear me.
“You heard me, asshole,” I snap back at him.
“And why is that an issue?”
“I didn’t think it was. I think she did,” I confess.
“Why do you think that? Did she say somethin’ to you?”
