Emergence and Ascendance (The Collective Book 3)

by K.C. Mills

"That man played in your face for ten years. He doesn't get to keep holding your happiness hostage."

10 yrs baby I'd be bussin cartwheels down the street naked .... Thats how much outside would know me

One man that I trusted, depended on, and allowed access to the best and worst parts of me. I missed that and craved it again.

So why run from a Dom????

"Sex with a stranger will not solve my trust issues." "You have to trust him with your body, and that, friend, is a big deal."

in that space yes it will boo

"I would. That's how much I believe you need this. And as much as I know leaking that information would ruin our friendship, I'm willing to do it because I love you enough to make the sacrifice if it means you'll stop punishing yourself for that shit he did. You need to step out of your comfort zone. You have twenty-four hours to decide, friend. Love you."

A true friend

I ended the call and massaged my temple. Whoever the fuck this Scot Whitney was had just made this personal, whether he knew it or not.

Buckle up buttercup

"You believe it's not but I believe you simply haven't found a woman who deserves the trust I know you want to hand over."

Valid

All I had to do was get her acclimated, figure out who else at Erogenous would be a good fit, then hand her off. Problem solved because I damn sure didn't want or need any complications in the one place I came to uncomplicate my life.

Famous last words

On the surface, they push political affiliations that support Black politics, but they're really just criminals."

Shut up before you pmo

I was obsessed with his sexy ass.

Me too sis me too

"I called the bank and they said I no longer have access to my money."

Good bitch

That's my money. I earned it. One million for each year I suffered being married to you."

I think its crack..gotta be

"They need me more. You both fucked me over. Did you really believe I would let that shit slide?"

Seee told you crack, bc no way she thought shit was cool

"Greed makes you careless, spite makes you stupid. She encompasses both."

Period

A family that I was never going to fucking have…

I got you boo how many you want?

Down girl, we’re not open for business.

Yes tf you are

Scot, stop lusting after this man. I bet his young ass can’t even fuck.

Thats a losing bet sis

"My sister, who hates sharing and playing nice, is thinking about a partnership? That damn sure doesn't sound like you, Scot."

That cat doing ths thinking i promise

Oh Angel, you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into.

Nickname alreadyy

I immediately considered that the only thing better would be this woman in white standing next to me in front of everyone I loved and respected, accepting her place in my life by taking my last name.

Oh we moving fast

I stepped back and shoved it into my pocket.

Ofc you did lol

"You requested no penetration for your introduction. Would you like to amend that?"

Crackkkkk

"I…no…no penetration please, Sir."

Def crack

Oh fuck I came so hard and it was him. No matter how many ways I tried to twist this scenario in my mind, I always ended with the same reality. I knew exactly who I had just spent the past hour with.

Thats big daddy duhhhh

Our twenties were a sexually questionable time, friend. Good times for sure, but very much scandalous behavior."

IKTR lol

The problem is you can't sit across from him and be professional knowing you want Christian to be the only man who puts his mouth on your pussy, friend. That right there is a problem. You should have started with that and we could have skipped all this back and forth."

Lmaoo

Submission in the bedroom doesn't have a damn thing to do with dominating in the boardroom."

period

"If I may?" I interjected.

Finna start his bs

"I've found Ms. Whitney has a practiced talent for listening to others instruction. She also appears to be remarkably responsive to guidance and leadership."

Seeee

Fuck community. You'll only be responsive to me.

baby sick in the head fr

"Christian, don't nobody give a damn what you think in here," Samiya said, causing everyone around the table to laugh before she added, "Clearly, based on these double entendres going down between the two of you, there's some history there.

Thank you lol

"Dinner's almost ready. I hope you like steak." "I do." "Good, how do you like yours?" "Well done."

Well done...ewww

"I'll do it. Both parts." Christian's smile sent heat through my body. "Good choice. There's one more condition." "What condition?" "You stay here for the duration of the contract."

You pushing it

Power dynamics only work when both sides agree to them."

Regardless, I had just thirty days then we would both move on and life would return to normal. No attachments. No complications. No risk of another betrayal.

Cute

In my mind I rationalized all of this but part of me knew I was lying to myself.

Exactly

“I can do this,” I mumbled and he kissed my forehead. “I know you can but this is my job right now.”

Yes

I'm all yours for the duration of this contract."

But you was planning the wedding on night one...

Who would he belong to then?

You.

It's not a relationship. Just temporary fun." "Famous last words."

thank you

“You’re saying that like you’ve never had a man make you his priority."

oof

"Every man I've had feelings for in the past has proven I wasn't the end goal.

Gut punch

I wished he was dead… ...and now that was what was happening.

From your mouth to God's ears…

Blood isn't an excuse to treat people like shit.

Amen

Scotlyn was more than just a month-long commitment. I knew that the first time I laid eyes on her so there was no point in pretending.

Thank you

“Are you fucking my sister?” “Yes.” He reared his head back as if he hadn’t expected me to respond honestly.

Hehe

His eyes narrowed. “You can still make things difficult for her. That’s your city, Devereaux. I’m well aware of who you are.” I smiled arrogantly. “Good, then keep your fucking threats to a minimum. I have two sisters, so I understand your position, but I’m giving you my word that I’m here to make things for yours better, not worse.”

better tell him big daddy!

“My goal is to provide your sister with whatever she’s willing to receive. While I’m very skilled with the ability of handing out orgasms, I’m also a man who fully understands what your sister brings to the table and it’s not just her body.”

BIG DADDY!!!!

Color? With my pussy throbbing and his long, thick dick submerged in me? Be fucking for real.

Lmaoooooo felt
