Kindle Notes & Highlights
And the smile, the smile that etched away at her cheeks when she opened her cell made my
chest burn. Who the fuck is that? I wanted to know immediately.
The same smile she wore the last time she took a look at the screen returned. This time, I didn’t even wonder about who the fuck was on her line because now that I was in her mix it didn’t matter.
Ever. I wanted my name to fall from no other man’s lips after it had come from his. It belonged there.
She was a treasure, but whoever that nigga was had better made plans to scoot his bitch ass out of the way. Because now that she was in my line of vision, I wouldn’t stop until she was rocking my last name and sporting marks from a few of my seeds growing in her womb.
If I wanted you, I wanted everything that came with you. And when you became mine, what was once yours was now both of ours – kids especially.
“You’re a grown ass, free ass woman, Ever. The only person here that will ever try to control you is you. I’m not that nigga, whoever the bitch may be. Laike ain’t that nigga, either. Anything that comes from us comes from here.” I pointed at my chest.
Tonight would be the last night she ever thought about that nigga willingly. I wanted to swipe her memory with my words and reprogram it with my actions.
“Erase that nigga’s number you just put in your phone, Ever. Don’t play stupid.”
“Because I’m ready to be the only nigga with the number, Ever.” I made shit plain and simple for her.
“Imagine me offering you the world but you’d rather have crumbs because another bird has access. You really not ready.”
The nigga who’d played with her had played her right into my arms, and I couldn’t wait to show her what it felt like to fuck with and fuck on a real nigga.
“As far as revisions. You’ve basically told me that because another man fucked up, I can’t be the very man that I was raised to be.
Given I respect you for not giving me the chance to disappoint you but you’re not giving me much of a chance to love you the way I want to, either.
