Emotionally unavailable adults start as emotional kids who love out loud but are told not to cry
when they are hurt. People don’t realize you can’t have happiness without sadness, rage, or excitement.
“Kiss me, and I’ll stop sabotaging you. But know this: I will get all my ducks in a row and trust when I do. You will be mine, Phoenix.” Pressing my lips to his for a quick peck, I tried to pull away, but he growled in protest. Ken slowly sucked my bottom lip into his mouth, eliciting a moan from me which gave him access to make love to me with his tongue. He smelt so good, it was overpowering all of my senses. Ken
Kicking my feet lol
“I know Ms. Goody-Goody did not almost have sex with Kendrix outside for the whole family to see, including the man you are currently seeing.

“Calm down before I kick you out of here. Cameron Davis is 31 years old. He graduated with honors from SSU – Slatesville State University in engineering and business in 2014. He has a brother named Calvin M. Davis, apparently a couple of years older than him, and they don’t get along that well. I know all about that… Anyway, he seems like an ok dude. Cameron works for a technology company specializing in spy gear, hijacking computers for certain companies, etc. He has been single for a couple of years and has a dog named Milo at home.” I turned to him, stunned at all the information he could

I bet you that Marcus is Cam’s brother 🧐
need you to know that I am doing my best to make it all disappear. I know that eventually you will find out what’s going on, and I want to be the one to tell you, but not yet. This is selfish of me, but I need you to love me, I need you to care about me, and I need you to give me your all. There is no one else on this earth who makes me a better man. I need you to not give up on me baby, please.” The tears slipped from his eyes; I caught them with my thumb.
I would be putty in this man's hands whew
“God created us for community and to do life together; we need each other to lean on. The problems you are facing right now are because you think you can handle everything yourself and can’t. Even Jesus needed the help of the disciples to do his ministry. Is your pride standing in the way? Are you afraid that people will judge you for the mistakes you made? Go to your Heavenly Father and let him comfort you; he will lead you to the right place. Ask him to drop people in your path to help you; use the ones he has already placed in your life.”
“That’s not what I’m talking about, Phoenix; I wanted to bathe you and rub your feet. Take care of you in this way, me sexing you isn’t the only way you need to be taken care of. I need to penetrate your heart so that I can overflow in your soul as you do in mine. You want this arrangement to be about sex, and I want romance, so I need you to let your walls down for now, baby.
Can you let yourself feel for me?”
Deep sigh
“You are one of the most important people in my life. I hold you to the highest standard of grace, elegance, and esteem. My life was forever changed when I walked through the doors of Grandma Lucy’s and laid eyes on you. I think I fell in love at first glance; I remember not wanting to let go of your hand because it was the first time I felt peace. That’s what you are to me, my peace. The peace in my chaotic life, all the screams, sirens, and memories of the past, are brought to silence when I look at you. I love you, but that doesn’t quite sum up how I feel; that seems too basic. That’s how I

Black women go through some of the hardest traumas that we as men won’t ever have to experience, but we can be their soft resting place. You can create a space that won’t make her feel as if she has to fight out in the world and fight when she gets back home.
Hello
“Phoenix Diamond McClain, my jewel. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, the purest soul in the shitstorm that was my life. I thought nothing good would come to me after the things I’ve done, but God gave me a second chance to get it right with you. He showed me the kind of man I had to become to be good enough to sit in the same room as you. You held your ground and didn’t take any of my bullshit; you taught me how to keep searching, keep fighting, keep living until I found it. It took me a long time, but I found my way to you. I want to be here for eternity if you allow me
