it beat being carried by six or judged by twelve.
lifted our hands and savagely dug my teeth into the skin around his wrist until I tasted blood. “Yoooo!” Finally, Rowdy stopped walking and turned to face me with wide eyes. Holding his bewildered gaze, I turned my head to the side and spat out his blood coating my tongue before baring
my bloodied teeth at him. “I said no.”
It means
I’ll be balls-deep in that pussy by the end of the week if you don’t get away from me now.
Surprisingly, it was Golden who stopped. Roc’s bitch-ass pretended he didn’t hear me
“Because you’re talking stupid right now, and I’m liable to choke you. I want to fuck you, beautiful, not hurt you.”
“If you don’t want me to follow you into fire, then don’t run into fire.” I was lowering my head to kiss her again when her words penetrated. Reaching up, I yanked the cord hanging from the ceiling, making light flood the closet and startling her when she saw my scowl. “Your fraud-ass stole that from Frozen!”
Above all else, guard your heart,” I recited to Rowdy’s bent head. I could have sworn he stiffened as if he knew what I’d say next. “For everything you do flows from it.”
“You demand things from me I’m not ready to give, but you’re so good at making me want them too—so much sometimes that nothing else matters. But then…then you make me feel like a fool for feeling that way, and I’m lost all over again. I know what I said before, but I lied, Owen. I don’t think I can give you my body without giving you my heart too.” Rowdy was still as if bracing himself for what I would say next. “But you said it yourself. You’re not interested in that part of me, and I couldn’t trust you with it even if you were.”
“Let me know if you have any more trouble,” I told her quietly. And then, not so subtly, I squeezed her ass, earning a glare from her. “It doesn’t matter how small; I want you to come and get me. It doesn’t even need to be work-related. Anything you need, and Daddy will make it happen. And Atlas?” I gripped her chin when her stubborn ass looked away. “Only me.”
“It’s okay. My daddy said him going to marry you and make you my new mommy, so don’t be mad, okay, Dem Dem?” “All right,” Roc grumbled while Demi surprisingly giggled. If I wasn’t mistaken, there was even a blush creeping up her cheeks. “You doing too much,” he continued to fuss. “What did I say about telling all of my business? Let’s go.” Now that Halo had exposed him, he couldn’t get out of the door fast enough.
“I don’t appreciate being stolen from.” “I’d hardly call quenching a thirst theft. Besides, I bought that from the corner store down the street.” “That’s cap, and you know it. One, they don’t sell this brand in Lee’s. Two…” He lifted the bottle, showing me the bottom and the R written on the clear plastic in black marker.
“I didn’t say we were dating.” He shrugged as he pulled out his phone and started typing. “You told Earl I was your girl.” He glanced up at me briefly before returning his gaze to his phone to finish texting. “I’m dating your pussy, Atlas. I’m not dating you.”
I rolled my eyes at that. “What’s your favorite thing to eat and please don’t say my pussy.” “So what you ask me for?” he said as he mugged me. “You want me to lie to you?”
right up until I told him his mother should have swallowed him.
“If you really want to thank him, Jailbait, I suggest you let him go. Immediately.”
It took Joren, Roc, and Golden to take him down while Rowdy kept his furious green gaze on me. The same fury that had driven him to choke me in his car.
It was the moment that I knew claiming her body wouldn’t be enough—would never be enough. I needed it all—her mind, heart, body…her fucking soul.
“You’re twice her age. No mother would be okay with that. And if her father was still alive, I couldn’t promise he wouldn’t shoot you on the spot.”
She would go on this date with me even if I had to knock her out to get her to the restaurant.
“You can get dressed or go like that, Dream. I really don’t give a fuck, but I know you’ll feel responsible and probably cry if I murk every man who looks at you in that towel.”
I guess me trying to cave his skull in with a golf club taught him not to play with me.
“Nah, I don’t need you to try. I need you to know it, and then tell me if anyone else says that bullshit to you so I can shoot them. I’ll give your mom a pass because I know she loves you, but everyone else can get this work.”
“Your ass had better drink this shit,” he playfully spat. “I ordered it for you.”
“Okay, but I wasn’t asking you,” Felicia snapped back. So the hoodrat wanted to go there. Okay. “Aye, you can do something for me,” Rowdy interrupted before I could curse her out. Usually, I’d refuse to argue over a man who wasn’t mine, especially not one who gave me whiplash like Rowdy, but sometimes, you just had to check a bitch. “First, you can keep this shit.” His ignorant ass crumpled up the bill and threw it at her forehead, where it bounced off and landed at her feet. “Even if I wanted to disrespect my girl and my dick by sticking it in you, I wouldn’t need your number to do it. Now,

“Don’t start no shit that I’ll have to finish, Atlas.”
I had no idea what the fuck she was so upset about, though. I was the one with a black eye and busted lip. She didn’t even have a fucking scratch on her.
Atlas resembled a damn psychopath when her head slowly turned my way like she was Annabelle or some shit. She was looking at me like she wanted to disembowel me. “Aww, that’s sweet. Eat a dick. I’d rather chew my arm off than talk to you.”
I thought about running her ass over when she slammed my damn door closed, but I refrained since I knew she’d probably never fuck me again if I did.
“No, sir. I’m not going anywhere with you. I’d rather joyride with Ted Bundy.”
“She asked if you like snickerdoodle,” Ruen supplied after I threw a helpless look her way. “Does Nick Cannon own a condom?”
“Where have I heard that name before?” “Probably from geography class, you dumb bitch. What do you mean?” Chrissy immediately roasted her friend.
“Aye, bruh, we out. My girl said I got her fucked up,” his ignorant ass called out.
“I’m not Superman,” he returned flatly. “I can’t fly us away if this shit crashes.”
“Don’t do this for me, Dream. I’m too far gone. Nothing you do will make me less obsessed with you.”
Rowdy snickered, knowing full well that I was not about to open my eyes for some damn birds.
