Hear My Heart

by Tay Mo'Nae

She told me although my hearing may be gone at times, my voice shouldn’t be taken away. Summer found out and decided to learn to communicate with me when I couldn’t verbally.”

Snatching my eyes back up, my cheeks reddened upon realizing what I was doing. Creed didn’t call me out for ogling him but the amusement that danced in his eyes couldn’t be missed.

Nothing was wrong with admiring how attractive someone was. It was human nature, so why did I feel so guilty?

I glanced at the woman who birthed me. While she was my mother, I felt no maternal bond with her. Growing up she never treated me like her child. I was more of a burden to her and my father.

There was more to the story, I was sure of it, I just couldn’t say what it was. For some reason my parents felt they had to hide the truth about that night and I was curious as to why.

“I just don’t want you to accept less because it’s what you’re used to.” My hands froze and I bit into the corner of my bottom lip. “I just do not want you to accept less, because it is what you are used to.”

I wasn’t sure who moved first, but the next thing I knew my mouth was connected to hers. The kiss was a sweetness I’d never tasted before. Her lips tasted like the watermelon gloss she was wearing, felt like two feather-filled pillows. When she gasped, I took that as an invitation and shoved my tongue inside her mouth. I teased the inside of her mouth with my tongue before sucking on hers, causing her to moan. She was submissive in the kiss, allowing me to lead.

Licking my lips, I tasted her gloss and swiped my thumb over my bottom one. “Damn.” I dropped my head and adjusted myself. What we did was wrong. I knew we had crossed a line we couldn’t take back, the bad part was I didn’t feel guilty about it.

I wasn’t one to step on anyone’s toes, but it was clear she craved attention and affection.

By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late to stop it. The worst part was it didn’t feel wrong. Kissing Creed felt like someone had shocked my heart with paddles and brought it back to life.

Sometimes one brother might be in the way of a good thing and it takes him being out of the way for you to see it.”

“I like you, Nakyra. You’re talented, strong, ambitious, and you never let your hearing keep you down or stop you from doing anything. Do you understand how sexy that is? The drive you have to prove that you can do anything everyone else can? In the short time I’ve been here, I know you’ve been through a lot, yet you still smile and push forward, making the best out of every situation thrown at you. It’s hard to not fall for that.”

“Because you deserve someone to put you first, for once. Your hearing is a part of you, so learning how to be in your world in any way I can only makes sense.”

“Let me show you what it feels like for a man to worship a woman without expecting anything in return. Just say yes and I’ll make sure you experience the best night of your life.” I thought she would be hesitant but there was nothing but burning desire in her eyes when she stared down at me. “Yes,” she breathed. Her mouth lowered to mine again and the kiss resumed. Blood rushed to my dick, growing harder by the minute. “I’m going to show you what it feels like to never feel like you don’t matter and how a man should treat the woman he cares about.”

“Just breathe, baby. I got you.” He kissed my ear, specifically my aid.

That this was the first time I felt like I mattered when it came to sex. I hadn’t had many partners, but the ones I did have never made sure I was satisfied over them.

“I’m just giving you what you deserve. I told you I wanted to worship your body, didn’t I?”

Rome never deserved you. He was selfish and preyed on you because you were young and vulnerable. He knew you didn’t have anyone and used that to his advantage.

Creed saw that in two months and he showed you what it’s really like for someone to care about you.

That guilt you don’t feel is your subconscious telling you what you’ve already known.”
