“Fuck health. Give me a burger and fries over this shit, any day.”
“Yeah, well, not all of us are fortunate enough to eat whatever we want and for it not to show.”
We reach the hotel, pulling the doors open and make our way up to my room. When we’re in the cart, Phoebe looks to me. “So, I talked to Ade.”
I look up at her, eyes wide. “You did what?”
She nods. “He’s a hard one, Kal. I’ve known him all my life, and out of all the boys, he’s the most reckless and ruthless. I just don’t know if he’d be good for you.”
I shrug. “Well, I wasn’t planning on going there again, so you can rest easy.”
She stops at the door and adds, “If you did, though, I’d totally get it. What’s not to love about him, aside from his complete disrespect for the female species, he’s all things any women would want and need in a man…plus more. I had a crush on him when I was younger, big time. Until I realized, he wasn’t interested. It took me three years to get over him,” she laughs to herself.
I laugh along with her while walking into the bathroom, stopping and leaning against the doorframe. “Yeah, I still can’t believe someone so…beautiful, exists. Every time I’m with him, I have this insatiable need to touch him, to make sure he’s real.” I shake my head, and then snap my mouth closed when I realize I just said all of that out loud.
She laughs and walks up to me. “That bad, huh? I get it.” She waves her hand away, seeing my shock. “He’s, well…he’s Ade Nixon, and that’s all anyone really needs to say. But Kalie? He’s not a good man. All that’s good is on the outside, he has a lot of demonic shit going on inside him. Be careful? Okay?” She looks into my eyes, worry etched all over her.
I nod my head and gulp down, pushing off the doorframe. “Of course, Phoebs. As I said, I don’t think it’s like that anymore. At least, not with him anyway.”
She rolls her eyes with a smile, picking up the sound dock remote from the coffee table. “Honey, it is a lot like that with him. I’d begin praying, you know why?” she asks with a raised eyebrow, pushing play and VinylShakerz ‘One Night in Bangkok’ pulsates through the speakers. “Because he doesn’t take no for an answer. And when he wants you…and he does want you…you won’t have a say in the matter.” She smirks and pumps it up louder as she begins shaking her ass around the living room. Ignoring the flutter of butterflies I’m getting from the probability of her being right, I shake my head and shut the bathroom door.
Turning the faucet on, I wait patiently for the water to heat up. She’s right, he is no good for me, but since he’s walked into my life, I can’t get him out of my head. Every time my ex would kiss me, I’d be thinking of Ade. Horrible, I know, but I couldn’t help it. Once the shower is hot, I step in and scrub my body, hair, and face. Tonight is going to be interesting. I hear the bathroom door open, then close.
“Phoebs, could you not have waited until I was finished?” I laugh.
“Yeah, it’s not Phoebe,” a low, sexy, voice growls from the other side of the curtain.
I gasp and wrap the shower curtain around me. “Ade? Get out!”
I hear him chuckle. “Yeah, not going to happen.”
He pulls open the curtain and I squeal, trying to grasp it back away from him while trying to hide the most private parts of my body.
“Ade! Get the fuck out. I swear to God—”
His lips smash onto mine pushing me back against the wall. I try to push him away, but it makes no difference, the man is hard as rock—everywhere. He picks me up and pushes me against the wall harder, stepping into the shower fully clothed. I moan into his mouth, and he draws out a low growl. With the water running down us both, he pulls back briefly.
“What happened to, ‘you’re not going to sleep with me?’” I ask, looking up at him. He removes his clothes in one quick motion, running his hands through his hair. The water is running off his beautifully inked body and his eyes are dark with need.
“I said that did I?” he asks, tilting his head to the side with a sexy smirk.
I gulp down and nod. “Yeah, you did.”
He shrugs. “Never been one to follow rules.”
He brushes my hair back, moving one leg inside mine and pushing his groin into me. I bite down on my bottom lip, trying to contain the explosive feeling between my legs. I look up at him, his eyes narrow before he places his other leg between mine, causing me to open wider for him. My breathing is ragged and if he doesn’t fuck me right now, I’m going to rub myself all over him until I get my release.
