“Because…” I prompted. He finally stopped moving his fingers, allowing that dark, vacant gaze to meet mine. “So, I don’t kill every person that annoys me.”
I like Hakeem 😍🥰
Raye: If he offers you dick, TAKE IT LIKE A CHAMP.
Allllllll of it 😉
If he kept this up, the stalker nickname he’d given me would turn into a reality.
I meannnnnnn, it seems like you were already on that path.
"Before I let you do that, I gotta make sure you're good. I told you I'd take care of you tonight and I meant that. Round one was satisfying, Ms. Taylor, but I'm far from done."
This man is trying to have you mentally committed.
Because I fully intend to consume your every thought for the remainder of the night. I plan on pulling as many orgasms out of your body as I possibly can with a single-minded determination you've never seen before."
“All I ask is that you relax. Give yourself permission to be in this moment and not overthink it. Trust me enough to take care of you, and not take advantage of you and this agreement we’re in. That’s it."
“Are you going to tell me why you came in here and used my body like I was a common slut?”
Sometimes you just need a lil body language.
“I’m not ready to let you go. And I’m going to do everything in my power, pull every weapon available in my arsenal to prevent that from happening.”
Verseeeee ☺️😍🥰
He has a lot of people that are loyal to him and if you hurt him, you’ll have to deal with us. All of us.”
Krystal said the whole block want smoke behind Verse & she not lying.
My shoulders drooped when I realized it was all on me. Every burden and problem that arose was handled by me. I’d buried my problems into work to distract me, but I’d never let anyone in fully. Ever. And thinking about the loneliness I felt often hurt.
Everybody needs somebody.
“How do I explain how I feel without scaring you off? Explain that something inside of me recognizes something inside of you? That your spirit feels familiar.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
“I don’t need you to be anything other than what you are right now. You as you are right now is more than enough. Will always be more than enough.”
Why Verse always saying the right shit !?
“It’s what I do. It’s who I am. I take care of what’s mine. Of people I care about.” “So, I belong to you?” “Of course you do.”
Sounds like that's the side of the track you wanna be on sis 💕
I hadn’t smoked shit or allowed a touch of alcohol to cross my lips but just being with him had me on a high I’ve never felt before. I was happy. He made me happy.
Bask in it babygirl, you deserve it ☀️☀️
“I know, baby. You’re not mean. Just guarded. I’m cool with that as long as you keep letting me in. Fuck everybody else.”
Verse is literal perfection
“Keep talkin’ like that, Garryn and I’ll show you how I handle shit that belongs to me.”
Show her ‼️
Any questions you have regarding me? Ask him. Take all this energy to him and let him clarify just how temporary this thing is. Because the last time I checked, I’m the one who has his heart. Not you.”
Period👏🏿 Point👏🏿 Blank👏🏿
His hands always needed to be on me so when he tucked both hands beneath his head, I knew he was still angry. Too bad for him, I’d gotten used to his affection. He wasn’t going to rob me of it now, no matter how angry he was.
“So you can see clearly how I feel about you and stop making ridiculous statements like me being stuck with you or that I should’ve left you at the airport. If you knew how much you mean to me, you’d never doubt my dedication to riding this storm, and any other storm, out with you.”
“Stop being embarrassed about being vulnerable and emotional, Garryn. Especially with me. I’m honored you allow yourself to feel those emotions and show this side of you. It proves you’re comfortable. That you trust me, or you’re on your way to trusting me. That’s all I ask.”
Hakeem’s gape was curious as he watched us walk past. “Where you going?” He asked, swinging his gaze between my flushed face and Verse’s strong back. “To eat her pussy.”
Verse said he gone tell the world.
Your safety is my main concern, he stated before teasing, If you’re still mad when you get off, I’ll let you take it out on my dick later.
Keem protects those he cares about like a lion protects his pride.”
My baby had been neglected, cast aside, and looked over by too many people in the past.
But your intentions won’t always matter when your actions say otherwise.
“And how was this lie exposed?” “Publicly. On social media.” She shrugged. “There’s your answer. Clear it up publicly since she was humiliated publicly. What good is it to be apologizing to her in private when she’s being talked about, ridiculed, and attacked online? You gotta suck up your pride and clear the air. Speak the truth and defend that poor woman who’s probably being attacked left and right.”
“Saying that shit freely isn’t how we were raised, but for you, I’ll tell you every day while I'm gone.”
Awwwww, Onyx 💓
He stepped closer and I tensed. If he laid a finger on me, it’d be over. I’d melt like putty in his hands, like always.
“Please,” Hakeem uttered, “Please give me a reason.”
I love Daddy Keem 😝
Don’t sabotage your own happiness over a misunderstanding. From what you've told me, that man is crazy about you. And he'll do anything to get you back. And based on what I've been hearing, your sad, moping ass misses him too.”
“Where you wanna go, boss lady?” My first smile today broke free at his nickname. “Wherever he is.”
I continued staring after he fell silent before saying, “That is the most I've ever heard you talk.” He frowned. “And I hope I didn't waste all those damn words on somebody who wasn't listening.”
“I was wrong for that but I’m not ready to let this go. I don't want you to walk away from me and I don't want to walk away from you. Other than how we started, I don’t regret a damn thing. I can’t regret it because in that time, I came to care about you.” He scoffed and shook his head, running a weary hand across the back of his neck. “Nah, I’m gonna be honest. I fucking love you.”
”I love you, Verse Presley. So much that it scares me. So much that if this doesn't work out, I don't think I'll ever recover.”
“You saw me at a time when I felt invisible. You made me feel important when I felt insignificant. I’ll love you forever for so many things, but most of all for showing me what unconditional truly means.”
“Promise me. Promise that if you're upset, we’ll talk about it. Promise that if I do something to piss you off, you'll let me know. Promise that if shit ain’t right between us, we’ll sit down and figure it out. Promise that you won't just walk away and leave me hanging when shit gets tough. Promise that you'll give me a chance, that you’ll give us a fighting chance.” “I promise.”
