10,000 Hours With A Rich Menace (Caselli Family, #1)

by Jahquel J.

Men were gross and until God came down and put me in my future husband’s arms, I was going to stay single and a virgin.

“Wonder, the minute you let another nigga touch you is the moment you gonna see why they call me Menace.” She raised her eyebrow, skeptical of my statement, then folded her arms. “I’ve seen how you get down… earlier in that stinky warehouse.” I laughed. “Nah, baby, that was light compared to how I come… not many can speak about it because they’re no longer with us.”

What I didn’t expect was for her to go off about me not calling her. This shit was new to me. Was I supposed to call her? I mean, shit, I made sure she got water, sun, and food. The fuck else was I supposed to do from across the world?

“You used to make your Barbies fuck, huh?”

Stevie was sent to kill me, and I was starting to think this shit was a scheme cooked up by Todd. Why the fuck did such a beautiful woman have to eat that way?

He pulled me back. “Wonder, you hate me?” “What? No… why would you say that?” “’Cause you trying to mess up my comfort,” he grumbled, as he lifted up and allowed me to slip out of the bed.

She slowly walked closer to me. “I mean, I know what you’re doing… but why are you on your knee doing it?” I looked down at the box before staring up into her eyes. “You are what home feels like to me, Wonder. My house has never felt like home until you came. I wanted to ignore how I felt about you, but I couldn’t…. you wouldn’t allow

Always there with that smile on your face, being you. Baby, you are you without any apologies. You accept me and all that comes with me without judging me. Stevie, you are my safe place, and my biggest trigger. You see past Menace and see me in a way that I never let anyone else see me. You love me with all my flaws and shit because you love me. You are my home, and I want this with you forever. I want to smell yo’ pussy every time I need to calm down…I wanna eat that shit right now, too.”

“Huh? I can’t hear I don’t have my glasses on… hold on,” I reached for my glasses and put them on. Maverick stood there for a second before he spoke. “Wonder that don’t even make fucking sense.”

“I can’t even remember what life was before you crashed into my life, Baby. I don’t want to remember what it was like because you weren’t there. I didn’t believe in shit when Rah and Ghost told me that I needed a wife because I never needed anybody.” He placed my hand to his chest. “You make me feel like this, and I know now that I needed a wife. I needed you in my life, and now that I got you, I ain’t never letting you go.”

“Appreciate it.” I looked at Jeffie, Skyler, and Duke. “Why the fuck none of you surprised? Y’all said y’all hate my baby?” “Bye Menace!” Skyler laughed.
