Makynzee
“How long are you willing to stay with me?”
We were headed back to Kalil’s house, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling in the distance. I wanted to tell him forever, but figured that would sound desperate, right?
“I’ll stay until Monday.”
“Nah, that doesn’t really work for me. I’ll let you know when you can leave,” he responded.
“Then what was the point in asking me?”
“I wanted you to have options,” he answered, those massive shoulders lifting in a shrug.
Right. Choices. My mom and Stanley returned from Jamaica in a month, so hopefully he felt generous enough to have me home by then. I bit at my lip and rubbed my sweaty palms against my tights as I followed him inside his house. I tried to slip my heels off, but fumbled somehow. I took a deep

Makynzee I woke up to my phone vibrating from where it sat, face down on the nightstand.“Turn it off, Mak,” Kalil mumbled, voice deep with sleep. His eyes were still closed and one arm draped over my side. I grabbed the phone and said hello. “Are you still a virgin?” Jaida shouted. Wow. I heard lots of noise in the background and figured she must be at the airport already. We were supposed to have breakfast before she left. “Where are you?” “Irrelevant. Is Kalil the beast we thought he would be? How many times did he make you cum?”

“Are you pregnant yet?” she answered. “What the heck kind of question is that?” “Can we actually talk now or is he still there?” “He went to get his son.” “Well, it’s a good thing you love kids, Step-momma Mak.” I ignored her and asked, “Are you sure multiple orgasms aren’t normal?” “When you said multiple, how many are we talking?” “At least two each time, sometimes more.&r

A few seconds later tires screeching reached my ears. I didn’t move. KJ was no longer crying, but he still whimpered. More tires and I heard multiple doors opening and closing. There was banging on the door and my name was shouted, but it wasn’t Kalil, so I didn’t move. I assumed they kicked the door in because my name being shouted became muffled. I still couldn’t move and it wasn’t until I heard the loud pipes on Kalil’s truck that I felt my body relax enough to move. By the time I’d scooted to the edge of the roof, whoever was calling my name was telling Kalil that KJ and I weren’t in the house. Donte’. I should’ve recognized his voice. “We’re here,” I called as loud as I could and it must have been loud enough because about ten pairs of eyes followed my voice. I could read the question in all of them as they looked up at us. How

Makynzee “How old is she?” Talking hurt, but curious cat and all that jazz. Kalil glanced at me then back at the road. “30.” Huh. I was right. “Why aren’t y’all together?” He kept his eyes on the road and didn’t answer right away. More curious. “I opened the club right when we met. Trying to start a business takes away a lot of free time…she didn’t think I was actually working. She thought I was out messing around, so she decided to get even. I forgave her. I neglected her when it came to spending time with her and showing her attention so I tried to make it up to her. After she got pregnant with KJ she told me she’d never stopped seeing the guy. KJ might not be mine. I stayed with her. She could be carrying my child. When he was born we did a paternity test, she came home with me, but was stil

**Content Warning**MakynzeeRiley had been here this whole time, literally right under my nose. My coach lived fifteen minutes away from Kalil’s club. I felt numb. All this time she let me think she’d left. She let me think she’d abandoned me and left me with our mom. Our mom. She knew what happened. She kicked Riley out. Kalil’s eyes drifted to me repeatedly as he drove. Maybe he thought I would break down. I wouldn’t. Not yet, anyway. I didn’t even know what was going on. “I thought Riley left?” Kalil asked. So did I. I didn’t want to talk yet because he had questions that I knew I couldn’t answer. I connected my phone to the car radio and scrolled through my music.“I have a song for you.

**Content Warning**Kalil Mak was a mess right now, but tried to hide it from me. It was almost 3:00 AM. and she was still awake. I couldn’t imagine how she must be feeling. I never wanted to see Kaeden again, but the thought of him actually dead wasn’t something I wanted to consider. And Karmen? No. Fuck no. I wanted to ask Mak about her mom, but I didn’t really know how to approach it without seeming insensitive. I knew she hated wearing makeup, but there were a few times when she came to work wearing it. I wondered if it was to hide bruises. She’d have to get hit pretty hard for a bruise to show up on her dark skin. That was foul. I couldn’t let her go back home to that, but if I asked her to stay now it’d seem like it was only because of her mom.“I need to go home.”

Makynzee We were almost at Kalil’s and I was glad. I needed him to distract me from all of this. I wondered if he’d do it. He was always so gentle with me, never rushing, always careful to draw my pleasure out. That wasn’t what I needed right now, though. I wanted him to lose control, give me a different version of pain, so I’d have to make him mad. As soon as we got in the house, I kissed him. I pushed him against the wall and bit his bottom lip and he made a noise of protest, eyes narrowed as he watched me. I moved away from him and stared at him in silence as I took my shorts and shirt off. His eyes devoured my body, watching me as though I’d disappear any minute. I went back to him and took his shirt off. I kissed him and scraped my nails down his back. He grabbed my hands and pinned them behind my back, his eyebrows pinched in annoyance. Much better. I kissed him, pushed myself against him, and pulled my hands free before using my body to f

MakynzeeAs I finished at the salon, I heard Jay’s ringtone.“My ride stood me up, said he had to go help your man with something, so I feel it’s only fair that you get your ass to this airport and pick me up.”I wondered what Kalil was up to as I made my way to the house to switch cars and then to the airport. There was no way all of her bags would fit in the tiny trunk of the coupe. When I made it to the airport, she was waiting outside. She had a lot of bags, so I guessed that meant she was staying for a while, and switching cars was a good idea.She hugged me and said, “I’m sorry I couldn’t get here sooner.”“You’re here now.”“Where we eating? I’m starved.”“Kalil took me to this one spot I’d never heard of before; they have good catfish.”“Good, I haven’t had catfish in forever.”Of course, he would call while we were talking about him.“Hey,” I answered.“What you doing?”“Just picked Jay up. What you got Donte helping you with that’s so im
