Those days of not saying exactly what was on my mind, setting clear boundaries, and telling them what I wanted when it came to a man were over.

“You want my undivided attention, Ever? Is that why you’re suddenly in a panic?” “I’m not in a panic.” “When I explained to you it was only you I wanted to give my undivided attention to, what did you tell me?” “I’m not ready.” “Then why don’t we leave it at that?” “Because you’ve been upset ever since.” “I’m not.” “Then why haven’t you said anything to me?” “Before I told you that, had I said much to you?” “No.” “So, what’s your point, again?” “Luca,” she called my name, waking my dick up. “Don’t do that,” I warned. “I don’t understand.” She sighed. “You do understand, Ever.

“She’s ready, Ever. Ready to get fucked and if that’s all you want, you don’t have to get out. Laike will find his way home. It’s been eight years since I slid into anything. I got a lot of dick to give you tonight if that’s what you looking for but if not, then I suggest you go in the house. Because if you go with me, then I’m treating you just like I plan to treat her.

There was so much work that needed to be done on my end. I refused to sit at anyone’s table empty-handed. I’d done that before and that’s how I’d gotten abused financially for nearly a decade.

wonder when my fire was smoldered, I thought. Maybe it was when Dewayne entered my life because prior to that, I remembered being this outgoing woman with a bright future ahead of her. From the moment he entered my life, insecurities crept in that led to me shying away from life and its beauty altogether. Before I knew it, I was a stay-at-home mom who hid herself from the big, bad world.
