ăĄă˘ăâ inspired by the destinyâs child song. i just live for a wattpad hood love story, so hereâs mine. love yâall.
YOU HADNâT BEEN THIS NERVOUS IN A WHILE. You wanted to gnaw at your heart shaped pendant sunken between heavy tits, deep plum gloss outlining your full lips that youâd chewed to a swell just minutes before. This moment didnât feel realâand yet, it was. He was coming home.
Thick Louisiana heat presses against your skin like a loverâs embrace, sprawled across the king sized bed in the heart of the 7th Wardâa place where shotgun houses and Creole cottages line the streets like old friends. The walls of your shared home hum with memories, the scent of cayenne and slow cooked roux lingering in the air from last nightâs gumbo. The bedroom is a sanctuaryâmahogany furniture polished to a shine, silk sheets the color of midnight draped over the mattress, and gold framed photos of yâallâs happiest moments catching the dim glow of the sunset through half closed blinds.Â
But somethingâs missing. Â
You bury your face into his pillow, inhaling deeplyâor trying to. His scent, that intoxicating mix of sandalwood and blunt smoke, has faded to a ghost of what it once was. Three months without him sleeping beside you, without his deep voice grumbling nonsense in your ear as he pulls you closer. The emptiness is heavy.Â
Your massive pitbull, Bear, stretches across the bed like a living shadow, his muscular frame pressed against your thigh as if sensing your longing.Â
You run your fingers through his coarse fur, murmuring, âYou ready for Papa to come home?âÂ
Bearâs ears twitch at the mention of him, dark eyes flickering with something like understanding. Even the house feels quieter without his presenceâno bass rattling the windows, no deep laugh shaking the walls, no rough hands tugging you into his lap just because. Â
Onyankopon.Â
Deep brown skin kissed by the Louisiana sun, glowing like polished syrup under the streetlights. His cornrows are always fresh, laid to perfection, trailing down to the nape of his neck with a crisp lineup sharp enough to cut glass. That mouth of hisâshiny grills flashing when he smirks, a warning disguised as charm. His beard-goatee combo is always kept tight, framing full lips that can curse a man into the ground or praise you so sweetly it makes your knees weak. Â
And his body. Lord. Broad shoulders, thick arms wrapped in inkâevery tattoo telling a story. The fleur-de-lis stamped near his left temple, a silent declaration of loyalty to the soil that raised him. More Louisiana love etched into his skinâ oak trees, 504 in bold script. His knuckles say NO LOVE, but you know betterâknow the way those same hands cradle your face like youâre the air he breathes. Â
Youâve seen him in business mode. Jaw clenched, voice dropping to something low and lethal, a Glock tucked in the back of his waistband like a second shadow. He didnât playânot when it came to money, not when it came to respect.
But you know the truth. Â
That same man whoâll put a bullet in somebodyâs kneecaps over disrespect is the one slipping Mrs.LeBlanc a stack of bills every month so her lights stay onâthe one who refuses to sell to fiends nodding out on the corner. The one who bought the whole block Thanksgiving turkeys last year just because. Â
A good man with rough edges. Yours.
Your heart aches with the knowingâthe kind that lives in the quiet spaces between his laughter and the way his eyes get distant sometimes, staring out at the horizon like heâs searching for something just out of reach. Â
Youâve seen the flicker in his gaze when yâall pass a college campus, when he watches old men playing chess in the park with no worries weighing them down. You know he dreams of something elseâlegitimate money, a life where he doesnât have to look over his shoulder every five seconds. But survival mode is a beast he canât shake, not when the streets raised him harsher than any parent ever did. Â
Your mind flashes back to that nightâthe night.Â
The way his face twisted in fury as the cops swarmed, their boots kicking up gravel as they yanked his arms behind his back too rough, too eager. You remember screaming his name, lunging forward only for his voice to cut through the chaos like a bladeâGo back in the fuckinâ house!âand the way your legs shook as you obeyed, tears blurring your vision until all you saw were flashing red and blue lights swallowing him whole. Â
Three months. Â
Three months of letters tucked into envelopes smelling like your perfume, of collect calls where his voice was gruff but his words were softââHow you holdinâ up, baby?"Â
Three months of praying the charges wouldnât stick, of begging your parents to understand why you couldnâtâwouldnâtâwalk away. Â
You think God would approve of this, child? Running with a man who feeds poison to his own people?Â
Their words stung, but not as much as the truth burning in your chestâyou loved him anyway. Loved him when he came home smelling like gunpowder and regret, loved him when he held you so tight it felt like an apology. Â
But still, thereâs a part of you that dreams tooâof lazy Sunday mornings without fear, of a future where his hands are stained with paint instead of blood. A future where he chooses differently. Â
You sigh, pressing your face into Bearâs fur as if he can absorb the weight of your thoughts. Â
Soon.
Your dark curls lay across the pillow like spilled ink as you sink deeper into Bearâs warmth, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest beneath your fingertips lulling you into a false sense of calm. Â
Thenâmovement.Â
Bear tenses beneath you, his massive body going rigid before he suddenly hikes up with a deep, rumbling growlânot the dangerous kind, but the kind that vibrates with recognition. In an instant, heâs off the bed, paws thudding against hardwood as he bolts toward the living room. Â
Thenâthe creak of the front door.Â
You left it unlocked. You knew. Â
Before you can even sit up fully, you hear Bearâs excited whines, the frantic scratch of his claws against the floor as he launches himself at someoneâat him. Your pulse thunders in your ears as you swing your legs over the edge of the bed, bare feet hitting the floor before you even realize youâre moving. Â
And there he is.Â
Standing in the doorway like a storm, shoulders bigger than you remember, muscles straining against the thin fabric of his white muscle tee like he outgrew it in just three months. His sweatpants hang low on his hips, the same pair heâd left in before they took him, but now they cling to thighs that look harder, more defined. Â
His cornrows are freshly done, edges sharp enough to draw blood, that damn fleur-de-lis tattoo peeking out from beneath the slant of his brow. But itâs his eyes that grip youâdark, calculating, hungryâas they rake over you like heâs memorizing every inch. Â
âThe fuck you leave the door unlocked for?âÂ
Your lips partâbut the second his voice hits you, really hits you, something inside cracks wide open. Â
ââŚIâI knew it was you,â you whimper, voice trembling like a leaf in the wind.Â
Onyankopon knows you.
âKnows the way your bottom lip trembles right before the tears fall. âKnows how your voice gets small and shaky when youâre tryingâand failingâto hold it together. âKnows that no matter how spicy your mouth gets, that tender heart of yours spills over first. Â
And right now? Â
His dark eyes drink you in all of you. Â
Your caramel skin glows under the dim lights, bare except for the tiniest rebellion inked along your ribsâhis name, etched in delicate script, hidden beneath the swell of your tits like a secret only heâs allowed to touch. Â
Those frecklesâgod, those frecklesâdusting your cheeks and the bridge of your nose like constellations. Your round face flushed, slender eyes shimmering with tears, long dark curls tumbling wildly over your shoulders as you try to hide the way your body shakes. Â
Hips fuller, ass heavier, waist somehow even smaller than he remembered, all wrapped up in that deep plum babydoll dress that barely covers your thighs. His gaze drags lowerâno bra, just the thin lace of your panties peeking beneath the hem, your brown nipples stiff and visible through the fabric. Â
And thenâ Â
âYou left me.âÂ
Your tits bounce heavily as you hiccup, hands flying up to cover your face in that adorably flustered way you do when youâre overwhelmed.Â
âAight, Mamaâlemmeâ hold you," he murmurs, voice thick with that gravelly warmth that usually melts you right where you stand. But not today. Â
You shake your head hard, curls whipping against your cheeks, suddenly furiousâat him, at the streets, at the damn system that keeps snatching him away from you.Â
âNo," you snap, voice wobbling despite yourself. Â
This is your routine. Â
The one where you unleash every pent up acheâwhere you sob about how Mrs. LeBlanc asked about him at the store last Tuesday, how you burned the first pot of gumbo because he wasnât there to taste test it, how Bear whined at the door every night for a week after they took him. Â
âYou missedâyou missed everythingâ"
Onyankopon exhales through his nose, patience wearing thin. He reaches for you again, fingers brushing your waist, but you smack his hand awayâor try to. Your tiny slap barely fazes him, and the way his jaw tightens tells you his sympathyâs run out. Â
One large hand fists into the back of your dress, yanking you against him so hard your breath whooshes out of you. His other arm bands around your waist, locking you in place as your tits press flush against his chest. Â
âOnyâ!"Â
âNah," he growls, âYou done?"Â
And just like thatâyou crack.Â
Your fingers claw into his shirt as you bury your face into his neck, inhaling that familiar scentâjailhouse soap, and him. A choked sob escapes you as he grunts, adjusting his grip to cradle you tighter. Â
âYeah," he mutters, lips brushing your templeââThatâs what I thought.â
His nose drags along the curve of your neckâinhaling deepâlike heâs trying to drown himself in you. Vanilla. Spiced cinnamon. Caramel. Your scent clings to his senses, and a rough groan vibrates against your skin before he cups your face in his big, calloused hands. Â
Thenâhis mouth crashes into yours. Â
Not soft. Not sweet. Â
Claiming.
His tongue strokes against yours, hot and demanding, before he sucks your bottom lip between his teethâsharp, just how you like it. The sound of his grunts fills the space between kissesââGoddamn, you smell so goodââ his palm smacks against your ass with a sharp CLAP!, making the flesh quiver beneath his grip as he kneads it possessively. Â
âWhy you doinâ allatâ, huh?â His voice is gruff but softer now, forehead pressed to yoursââA nigga was gonâ find his way back to you.â
âYour lawyer saidâŚâ your voice cracks, fingers tightening in his shirtâââSaid they couldaâ gave you more timeâŚâ
His jaw ticksâonce, twiceâbefore he exhales hard through his nose. Â
âLook at me.âÂ
When you do, his eyes burn with something fierce. Â
âAinât no cage gonâ keep me from you.âÂ
And just like thatâhis mouth is on yours again, swallowing your whimpers, his grip tightening like heâs determined to erase every second of those three months apart.
Your whimper melts into something hotter, needierâtongue sliding bold and filthy against his, dragging slowly before plunging back in, tasting the mint on his breath mixed with something darker, smokier. Onyankopon growls against your lips, tongue stroking yours with a rhythm that makes your thighs clench. Â
âGreedy ass," he rumbles, voice thick with amusementâ"Threw that lilâ tongue at me like you ainât just been cryinâ."Â
ââWant you, PapaâŚ" you pant this, rocking your hips against the hard ridge of him, shameless. Â
His hands tighten on your faceârough but reverentâas he pulls back just enough to lock eyes with you, his gaze burning through you.Â
âThree months, baby. Three months âI been dreaminâ âbout my pussy," he grits outââBut nah, we gonâ do this right."Â
Your brows knitâconfused, frustratedâuntil his thumb swipes over your bottom lip, smug as hell. Â
âA nigga got a whole garden in the Hummer for you," he admits lowly, "Tulips, roses, shit you likeâwhole backseat covered."
That freckled smile of yours spreads slowly across your face, until you realize something.Â
âWaitâyou got your car back?"
His smirk doesnât falter, but something shifts behind his gazeâhooded, calculated.Â
âHandled it."Â
You blink once. Twice. Then deadpan, âI wonât even ask."Â
âYou already knowinâ," he chuckles, swiping his thumb over your bottom lip one last time like heâs erasing the question altogether. Â
âGo âhead, start gettinâ yoâself pretty. Immaâ run some plays by these niggas, handle some business âfore we head out."
Your stomach knots. Already?Â
Three months gone, and the streets demand his presence before the sheets even lose your warmth. You bite your protest back regardless, swallowing it down with a soft âOkay," that barely fills the space between you. Â
Onyankopon studies you for half a breathâlike he sees it, the tension in your jawâbefore gruffly adding, âAight? Iâm happy to be home."Â
And just like that heâs turning away, crouching to ruffle Bearâs ears as the dog practically vibrates with joy. You watch themâthe way his tattooed hands roughhouse with the beast who missed him just as much as you didâand exhale. Â
âYeah," you murmur, touching the heart pendant at your throat.Â
ââŚMe too."
The afternoon light slants through sheer curtains as the scene shifts to another familiar rhythmâOnyankopon planted on the bedroom bench like a king holding court. His muscular thighs spread wide, fresh out of the shower but already dressed in that effortless urban eleganceâcrisp black tee straining across his chest, black Amiri cargos, icy AP watch glinting at his wrist. Cuban links drip down his neck as he barks into his phone, voice sandpaper roughââNah, that product âmove different now. âTell them lilâ niggas to tighten up or get got."Â
Meanwhile, you exist in your own world mere feet awayânaked as the day you were born, lost in the ritual of getting ready. Â
Your reflection in the vanity mirror is sinfulâthat waist cutting in like an hourglass before flaring out into heavy hips and that ass he canât stop smacking. Oversized tits sway as you lean forward to dab blush over freckled cheeks, brown nipples stiff from the breeze drifting through the window. Between your thighsâpretty pink folds glistening with arousal, still tender from the thought of him earlier.Â
Youâre so engrossed in blending highlighter along your collarbones that you donât notice his approachâuntil thick fingers suddenly part you from behind. Â
âPapaâ!âÂ
Your giggle bubbles up as his calloused thumb swipes through slick heat, inspecting you with a low hum of approval. Â
"Fuck you laughinâ for?" he grunts, still half distracted by his phone conversationâââJust checkinâ my property."Â Â
The juxtaposition is ridiculousâhim murmuring âTwo keys max,â into the receiver while his other hand teases your clitâuntil you slap his wrist away, cheeks burning. Â
"Stop it!âÂ
ââYou the one bent over lookinâ like dessert."Â
Sigh. Business and pleasure, always intertwined.
Now fully dressed, you feel every bit the masterpiece youâve craftedâyour curls styled in a voluminous flip over cascading like spilled ink down your back. Dark, feathery lashes make your almond shaped eyes look bigger, doe like, while deep brown lipsâblended with a hint of plumâgive your mouth a sultry, kissable pout. Â
The outfit is pure temptationâtall, strappy heels that add inches to your shorter frame, black capris clinging to every curve of your full hips and round ass like they were painted on. The lace trimmed camisole is sinful, its sweetheart neckline framing the swell of your breasts, the sheer fabric teasing glimpses of skin beneath. Your small Coach purse twinkles with playful keychains dangling from it, a hint of softness against the fierce femininity of your look. Â
You do a slow, deliberate spin for himâhips swaying, lashes flutteringâbefore rolling your eyes dramatically when he barely glances up, his big hand absently rubbing the side of your hip as he continues growling into the phone, âNah, lilâ bruh, thatâs not how we move.âÂ
Frustration flickers. Â
With a huff, you drop onto his lap without warning, your weight forcing his thighs to adjust beneath you. His free arm instinctively wraps around your waist as you play with the coarse strands of his beard, your fingers tracing the sharp line of his jaw while he keeps talking. Â
You murmur against his ear, âI got all pretty for you, yâknow.âÂ
 âAight, Immaâ see you in twenty.â
You blink.Â
âTwenty minutes? Where?"Â
âAcross the Westbank," he replies smoothly, fingers trailing up the curve of your thigh where the capris hug tightestâââTold you I had business to handle."Â
Your arms cross over your chest, âThis was supposed to be our time."Â
âYounâ think I know that? I got shit to do."Â
âYeah, âcause a drug dealer has way less free time than the average working man."
The words hang in the airâsharp, but edged with truth. His brows lift, a silent challenge, and you bite your lip before melting back against him with a soft âSorryâŚâÂ
Your voice dropped to a whisper, âI just want you to myself today."
Onyankopon exhales through his nose, the tension in his shoulders loosening as his hands slide up your back.Â
âYou got me," he murmurs, lips brushing the slope of your bare shoulder.Â
âBut I got a whole neighborhood to take care ofâincluding buyinâ everythinâ yoâ greedy lilâ ass wanna see under the sun."Â
His mouth trails up your neck, each kiss a quiet apology, a silent promise. You sigh, tilting your head to give him more access, your resolve crumbling beneath his touch. Â
âFine," you concede, âBut hurry, please?âÂ
âAinât gonâ be long enough for you to miss me."Â
And just like that, he had you under his spell.
The first time you rode shotgun on one of his business runs, your pulse had thrummed with something illicitâthe thrill of danger, the heat of rebellion licking at your skin like a forbidden flame. Back then, watching him command respect with just the tilt of his chin felt electric, his dominance a live wire beneath your fingertips. Â
Now? Â
Now you slump in the passenger seat of his freshly detailed Hummer, fingers drumming against the leather as you stare determinedly out the window. His employeesâlean, hungry looking young men with eyes too old for their facesânod at you with careful respect, like youâre some kind of queen theyâre afraid to glance at too long. You offer weak smiles in return, teeth digging into your plum stained bottom lip. Â
Onyankopon moves like a stormâmethodical, unhurriedâhanding off product wrapped in crisp bills, exchanging terse words with buyers who swear they can handle weight they clearly canât. Every so often his palm lands heavy on your thighâreassuring, possessiveâbut your skin feels too tight today. Â
Your gaze flicks to the Glock tucked between his seat and the console, the .45 holstered at his ankle, the AR barely hidden beneath the flower blankets in the back. The arsenal used to make you feel safe. Now it just makes your stomach twist. Â
âCan we go?"Â
He pauses mid sentence, dark eyes cutting to youâreading the tension in your jaw, the way your fingers twist the rings on your hands. Â
âFive minutes," he grunts.Â
Onyankoponâs jaw ticks as he leans out the driverâs side window, his deep voice dropping to a lethal calmâ Â
âNigga, you movinâ like you want problems.âÂ
The young boy couldnât be older than nineteenâpuffs his chest out, fingers twitching near his waistband like heâs itching to prove something.Â
âI ainât scaredââÂ
âThatâs yoâ first fuckinâ problem.âÂ
Before the kid can retort, Onyankopon shoves the car door open and steps out, looming over him like a shadow. Even from the passenger seat, you can see the moment the boy realizes his mistakeâhow his shoulders tense, how his eyes dart sideways for backup that ainât coming. Â
âYou gonâ get smoked actinâ like this,â Onyankopon growls, jabbing a finger into the boyâs chestââGet yoâ shit together âfore I help you.âÂ
âAight, Onyoâ. Damn. My badââÂ
âGet the fuck on.âÂ
He dismisses him before sliding back into the driverâs seat, his energy crackling like live wire. You donât say a wordâjust shift in your seat, crossing your legs tight, lips pressed together. Â
The engine roars as he peels off, tires biting pavement. At the first red light, his hand cups the back of your neck, dragging you into a kiss so filthy your toes curl in your heels. Â
âGood girl,â he murmurs against your lips, âAppreciate you holdinâ me down.âÂ
You nod, still quiet, but your fingers tighten on his wristâWhere are we going?Â
âYoâ lilâ candy ass arcade on Canal.âÂ
Your frown melts instantlyâthe one with the vintage Pac-Man machine and strawberry mochi. A grin tugs at your lips despite yourself. Â
ââŚâKay.âÂ
Once again? Under his spell.
The neon glow of Canal Street buzzed around you as you stepped into the old-timey arcade, its retro facade hiding a freshly renovated interior that smelled faintly of buttered popcorn and digital nostalgia. The weekend crowd pulsed around youâlaughing teenagers, couples locked in competitive banter, families chasing kids hyped up on sugarâall seeking the same escape from reality. Your fingers tightened around Onyankoponâs large hand as you tugged him inside, watching his sharp gaze flick over the spaceânew LED lights where flickering fluorescents once hung, sleek game consoles replacing the creaky ones he remembered. Â
âAinât been gone that long,â he muttered, but there was no real irritation in it, just the low rumble of a man recalibrating. Â
âThree months can feel like a sentence, Papa.âÂ
He thinks on your words for a moment.Â
ââCâmon, then. Iâm tryna put âbelt to ass in Mortal Kombat.â Â
âIn your dreams!âÂ
You darted away with a giggle, weaving through the crowd as his deep chuckle chased you. The sound was rare enough to make your chest acheâhe was letting his guard down.
And when he did? Â
It was like the sun breaking through a storm. Â
At the game station, he was ferociousâbutton mashing with the precision of a man who took everything seriously, even play. His victorious howls shook your ribs where you stood pressed against him, his arm slung around your waist as he crowed about flawless victories. But thenâyour turn. His competitive edge melted into something softer, his hands guiding yours over the controls when you pouted about losing.Â
âLike this, mamaâtime it right.â
 It was a quiet parallel to his lifeâhis instinct to protect, to guide, even in something as trivial as a game. Â
Later at a secluded lounge area tucked in the back of the arcade, you both shared strawberry mochi and sweet wine. The other couples around you laughed easilyâholding hands, stealing kisses without glancing over their shoulders first. Your fingers traced the rim of your glass as the thought settled heavyâDid they have regular lives? Were they happier?
Onyankoponâs voice cut through the haze. Â
âYou been thinkinâ on somethinâ since we left the house."Â
His voice is low, steadyâa statement, not a question. Â
âHm?âÂ
âHm?â he repeats, âYeah, you."
You swirl the sweet wine in your glass, avoiding his gaze for just a beat too long before answering, âIâm just happy to have you home."Â
He leans back in his chair, arms folding across his broad chest.Â
ââYou want me to believe that?âÂ
âThatâs what Iâm telling you.âÂ
A beat passes. Then another. His expression doesnât changeâjust that same quiet intensity, like heâs reading every flicker of hesitation in your body language. Â
He stands, the chair scraping against the floor. Â
âWe gonâ talk over dinner," he confirms, âItâs aight."Â
And just like that, the conversation is postponedâbut not forgotten. You exhale softly, nodding as you rise to grab his hand, the unspoken weight of your thoughts lingering between you like an extra shadow.
The restaurant hums with the soul of New Orleansâexposed brick walls draped in vintage jazz posters, flickering candlelight glinting off brass fixtures, the rich scent of gumbo and buttery cornbread hanging thick in the air. Live piano notes drift from the corner, smooth and lazy like the Mississippi at dusk. Â
You sit across from him, legs crossed just so, your lace camisole dipping to frame the heavy swell of your breasts. Small dimples flash as you press your lips together, watching him watch you with that quiet, unnerving focus of hisâlike heâs peeling back every layer youâve carefully stacked since this morning. Â
âThank you for bringing me here,â you murmur, fingers tracing the rim of your water glass. Â
His response is a low rumbleââAinât gotta thank me for doinâ shit a nigga supposed to do."Â
Silence stretches between you. You know that lookâchin tilted down, thick brows slightly furrowedâheâs turning something over in his mind. Â
Then, out of nowhereââHow yoâ mama doinâ?"Â
You smile, soft and genuine.Â
âStill prayinâ for you."
His lips quirkâââWouldnât want it any other way. She give a nigga âtravelinâ grace."Â
You tug a curl behind your ear, exhaling softly. Â
âWellâŚ" You reach for your purse, heart skippingââI got you somethinâ."
Your fingers tremble slightly as you pull out the blue velvet boxâsmall, unassuming, but holding all the hope you've tucked away. Â
His lips quirk before he even opens it, that deep voice laced with mischiefââLemmeâ guessâis it you, butt ass naked on top of a second Hummer? âCause I was already planninâ on makinâ that happen."Â
You roll your eyes, âNo, boy."Â
He flips the lid open, thick fingers pausing as he pulls out the sleek, leather bound plannerâmatte black with silver detailing, masculine but refined. The attached pen glints under the soft restaurant lighting. Â
âi got you a planner!" you squeak, suddenly nervous. Â
His brow arches, thumb tracing the edge of the booklet before he meets your eyesââThatâs sweet, baby. But why?"Â
You fidget, twisting a curl around your fingerââWellâŚI thought maybe it could be a new bonding experience for us?"
Your voice is softer nowâ"You knowâŚwe could journal on Sundays during online sermons, make grocery lists, plan things togetherâŚ"Â
Your next words come out in a rushââI thoughtâŚmaybe even show your parole officer that you do want more in life, you know?" Â
The air between you shifts. Â
His expression hardens, âYounâ think I want more in life?"Â
"I didnât mean it like that, I justâ"Â
âSo what you sayinâ?"Â
His voice is calm, but thereâs an edge beneath itâthe kind that makes your pulse stutter. You swallow, choosing your next words carefully. Â
"I justâŚwant you to try something new, Onâ."Â
Your gaze lifts, meeting hisââThere are these moments where you talk about your futureâgoinâ to trade school, gettinâ off the streets, somethinââŚpractical. Youâre just too smart for that to go to waste."Â
A beat passes. Then his lips curlânot quite a smileââYou think beinâ pragmatic gonâ pay the bills?"Â
"Onyâ"Â
âNiggas out here with degrees still hustlinâ backwards. You think a planner gonâ change the fact that this city donât give a fuck about no trade school paperwork?"
His voice drops low, gravel rough with convictionââI got half a fuckinâ city to feed, ionâ do this shit âcause I like tellinâ niggas what to do. The side of town we stay on? You still there âcause you refuse to leave yoâ family, and I respect that."
 His jaw flexes, thumb brushing over the planner still in his handââBut I should get the same in return."Â
Heâs right. Heâs always talked about putting you up somewhere betterâsomewhere with gates and quiet streets, or even leaving New Orleans altogetherâbut heâs never pushed you. Never made you choose when you never agreed to that.Â
And now here you are, handing him a planner like itâs an ultimatum, like paper could fix the jagged edges of the life heâs built. Â
You blink hard, swallowing the lump formingââIâm sorryâŚâÂ
Fingers trembling, you reach to take the planner back, but his hand closes gently over yours before you can. Â
âDonât do allatâ," he murmurs, voice softer now. The planner stays in his gripânot rejected, not dismissedâjust held.Â
ââThis the shit thatâs been weighinâ on yoâ heart all day?âÂ
The question hangs between you, raw and exposed.Â
ââŚI talked to your parole officer,â you admit, voice barely above a whisperâââBefore your release.âÂ
His jaw clenches, but he doesnât interrupt. Â
âHe said if you get caught againâŚitâs twenty-five to life, Onyankopon. No parole.âÂ
A single tear escapes before you can stop it, sliding hot down your cheek. You swipe at it fast, but the damage is doneâyour face is warm, your lips trembling as you whisper, âI canât lose you again.â
âI ainât goinâ nowhere.âÂ
His voice is gruff, thick with something that makes your chest ache. He doesnât promise miracles. Doesnât swear heâll change overnight. But the look in his eyesâthe vow in themâsays more than words ever could. Â
âYou have to be here, yâknow?âÂ
His thumb swipes under your eye, rough but tender. Â
âIâm knowinâ, baby.âÂ
But you canât stop nowâthe words spill out like a confession, shaky and rawâ Â
âWhen we have our first lilâ PapaâŚwhen we get marriedâŚwhen you finally graduateâŚâÂ
Your breath hitches, lips quivering as you grip his wrist, needing him to hear this, to feel it like you do. Â
âYou canât leave me like that again.â
The words break on the last syllable, âYou just canât.âÂ
Thatâs all it takes. Â
In one swift movement, heâs out of his seat, leaning across the table, his big hands cradling your faceânot gentle, not this timeâcommanding your attention. Â
âStop that fuckinâ cryinâ,â he growls, âIâm never leavinâ you again.âÂ
You whimperâhalf protest, half reliefâbut before you can speak, his mouth crashes into yours, stealing your breath along with the last of your tears. Itâs not a sweet kissâitâs desperate, possessive, a promise sealed in salt and heat. Â
The waitress approaches with a tray piled high with steaming Creole dishesâcrispy fried catfish, creamy shrimp ĂŠtouffĂŠe, golden cornbread muffinsâbut freezes mid step when she catches sight of you two, your faces still inches apart.Â
Her voice squeaks out, âIâllâuhââcome back!âÂ
Onyankopon doesnât even flinch, just leans back slightly, his deep voice smooth as molassesââNah, you good, love. We ainât mean to stop what you gotta do.âÂ
You quickly wipe your face with the back of your hand, giggling apologetically at her, your earlier tears replaced by a warm, flustered grin.Â
âThank you, sweetheart,â you murmur as she carefully sets the plates down. Â
âIs there anything else yâall need?â she asks, glancing between you two like sheâs half-expecting another emotional hurricane. Â
Onyankopon settles into his seat, stretching his long legs out before casually dropping the bombââCan you box her up as a to-go entrĂŠe?âÂ
Your mouth falls open before you snatch a fry off his plate and flick it at him. He catches it between his teeth, smirk victorious as he chews. Â
âDamn. Nevermind then,â he murmurs, low and playful, making the waitress bite back a laugh before she scurries off. Â
The rest of the night feels goodânormal in a way that makes your chest ache with gratitude. Before leaving, you drag him into the restaurantâs vintage black and white photo booth, cramming yourselves into the tiny space. He grumbles âThis shit for teenagers,â but still lets you pose himâgruff, sexy glares mixed with moments where he suddenly pulls you in, his lips at your neck, his hands possessive on your hips while the flash captures it all. Â
And when you climb back into the Hummer later, the LED lights inside now glow a soft violetâyou canât help but watch him with quiet fascination. Â
Heâs on the phone with one of his men, voice a low, authoritative rumbleââNah, donât move âtil I say soââwhile his free hand rolls a blunt with effortless precision, his thick fingers crimping the paper just right.
The Hummer idles softly outside your apartment building, the engine a quiet purr beneath the hum of the city at night. The LED glow from the dashboard paints his sharp features in an otherworldly hueâhigh cheekbones catching the light, the flicker of his chains as he moves. Â
You sit curled in the passenger seat, cradling the bouquet of flowers heâd surprised you with earlierâroses, peonies, all lush and fragrant. You press your nose into the petals, inhaling deeply as your lashes flutter shut for just a second. Sweet. Just like him when he wanted to be. Â
Across from you, Onyankopon flicks his lighterâthe flame casting brief, dancing shadows across his deep brown skin, his tattoos momentarily illuminated like ancient script. He takes a long pull from the blunt, smoke curling from his nostrils in smooth, practiced streams. Â
âNon, fais pas çaâNah, donât do that. Li pa bon pou biznis.âÂ
You watch as he takes another hit, the ember glowing bright before he exhales again, smoke filling the space between you. Â
âMwen pral rele ou pli ta,â he murmurs into the phone before ending the call. Â
Silence settles, but itâs comfortableâheavy with the scent of weed and flowers, the quiet understanding between you two thicker than the smoke. Â
You reach over, brushing a thumb over his knuckles. Â
âTeach me,â you murmur. Â
He arches a brow. Â
âCreole?âÂ
You nod.Â
His lips curl into that half smirk that always makes your stomach flutter as he nudges the blunt between his fingers and murmurs, "Say âMwen renmen wâ."Â
I love you.Â
You bite your lip to suppress the grin threatening to take over your faceâyou know what it meansâbut you play along anyway, voice lilting sweetly, âMwen renmen w."Â
His eyes darken, the low purple light catching the flecks of gold in them as he exhales smoke and leans closer, rough palm cradling your jaw.Â
âI love you so much fuckinâ more, girl."Â
You only took two hits, but itâs enoughâyour body melts against his side, pliant and warm, your cheek pressing into the firm curve of his shoulder as he scrolls through his phone with one hand, the other absently tracing circles on your thigh. Â
Messages light up the screenâcoordinates, confirmations, the usualâbut youâre too busy nuzzling into the scruff along his jaw, breathing in the mix of his cologne and weed. You press a feather light kiss there, right where his beard meets his cheekbone. Â
âThank you, mama," he murmurs, voice gravel rough but tender. Â
You go in for another, but this time he turns his head just enough to meet you halfwayâa quick peck at first, teasing. But when you chase his lips, he hums low in his throat and suddenly itâs not quick anymore. Â
His tongue swipes across your bottom lip, demanding entry, and you part for him with a breathy sigh. The kiss deepensâslow, filthy, calculatedâuntil youâre squirming in your seat, your fingers tangled in his chains. Â
âAight," he growls against your mouth, one hand already on the door handleââ"We takinâ this shit upstairs."
The kiss is molten, unhurried but heavy with intentâyour foreheads bump together, lips slanting clumsily as you whimper into his mouth, needier than usual. Your heel slides up over the center console, legs spreading just enough in that shy, wordless way of yoursâcanât wait, donât make me wait.Â
Thenâthereâthe rough pad of his middle finger swiping over your clothed folds, and fuck, the fabric is already damp, sticking to your skin. Your tongue stutters against his, a broken huff catching in your throat as your head falls back against the seat. Â
ââŚ.Ainât even touched yoâ ass yet,â he murmurs, but his finger circles again, mimicking the lazy thrust of his tongueâslow, then slowerâuntil youâre squirming, your hips canting up into his touch.  Â
âMwen renmen w,â you mewl, and his fingers curl, gripping your thigh as he licks into your mouth like heâs trying to taste the words. Â
ââFuckinâ right you do.â
The air in the Hummer is thickâhot with the weight of desperate breaths and the slick, sinful sound of his fingers teasing you through damp fabric. Your hands fist gently in his beard, the coarse strands scraping against your palms, sending a shiver down your spine. You canât help itâyou nuzzle against the roughness, craving the friction, the burn of it against your skin before dragging him down into another filthy, open mouthed kiss. Â
Your legs spread widerâso fucking wideâknees falling slack against the leather seats, silently begging. Â
His fingers then hook into the waistband of your capris, dipping just beneath. He doesnât even push inside yet, just swipes slow along your soaked folds, gathering the slick there before dragging back up. Your hips jerk, but he pins you with a glare, forehead pressed hard against yours as his breath fans over your parted lips. Â
âMâgonna cum if you put âem in,â you whimper, voice trembling, weak. Â
You squirm, biting your lipââOnyâŚIâm so wet.âÂ
His nostrils flare, eyes narrowing as he leans in, his breath hot against your earââIâmma put âem in. You âbet not fuckinâ cum.â
The moment his thick fingers slide inside you, deep, your body betrays you in the most obscene wayâyour pussy clenches around him with a wet, shuddering pfft as his knuckles sink into your swollen folds. Â
A weak, desperate sob tears from your throat, your voice breaking high and needy like you havenât been touched in years, like his fingers are the only thing keeping you sane. Worse? You gush around him instantly, soaking his hand in a humiliating rush of slick, your hips jerking helplessly. Â
âFuck,â he growls, dragging the word out low and rough as your eyes roll back. Heâs fucking you with his fingers, slow and deep, curling them just right to make your back arch off the seat. Â
âUghnâohmygodââ you slur, voice wrecked, your mouth falling slack as he pistons his fingers in and out, your wetness squelching around them with every thrust. Â
He leans in, his breath hot against your earââSoundinâ like a fuckinâ baby.âÂ
And you doâwhimpering, gasping, your pussy clenching around his fingers like itâs trying to milk them for more. Â
âAinât even fucked you yet,â he murmurs, cruel, twisting his fingers just to hear you sob again.
A desperate whimper claws its way up your throat as you crash your mouth against his in a messy, open mouthed kissâtongue sliding filthy against his, lips smearing wet and frantic. Your brows knit together, a tight little frown creasing your forehead as his fingers bury themselves even deeper, stretching you with that perfect, brutal coil that makes your toes curl. Â
âOnyoââfuhhâ!"Â
The words dissolve into a senseless slur, your voice cracking as your legs hike higher, knees pressing into your chest, showing himâbegging himâjust how badly you need it. Â
Your mind hazes, drifting back to those long nights aloneâphone pressed to your ear, his voice rough through the receiver as he talked you through it, murmuring filthy promises while you rubbed your clit with trembling fingers, tears streaking your cheeks. Â
And now? You canât even handle the real thing.Â
His fingers withdraw with a wet pop, leaving you empty and whimperingâuntil his rough grip tangles in your hair, yanking your face toward his lap with a throaty command.Â
âGonâ eat this dick up," he grunts, voice dripping with dominanceââActinâ like you canât even take my fingers."Â
You surge forward, pressing a sloppy, desperate kiss against his lipsââMâsorryâ"Â
âIonâ wanna hear allatâ,â he growls, "On yoâ knees."Â
He shoves the console back with one hand, his other hand still fisted in your curls, guiding you down. The sight of you beneath him is obscenely perfectâyour large, teary eyes peering up through your lashes, lips parted and puffy, freckled cheeks flushed. Â
With trembling hands, you tug his sweats down just enough to free himâhis dick springs out, thick and angry, the tip already glistening. Itâs bigger than your face, heavy in your small hands, veins prominent under your fingertips. Â
"Fuck," you whimperâyou canât help yourself, smacking the swollen head against your tongue before licking a kittenish stripe up his shaft.Â
His rough palm cups the side of your face, calloused fingers pressing into your soft skin before delivering a dominant smackânot hard enough to hurt, just enough to make you whimper and redden under his touch. Â
âHow much you missed this dick?" He growls, watching with hooded eyes as you bob your head messily, spit and pre-cum slicking your lips. Â
Your answer comes in slurred, desperate sucksââMmmhhâmmph!"âthe vibration of your whimpers traveling up his length. You've always struggled to take him fully, but you try so hard, your throat fluttering around the head as you choke back tears. Â
He chuckles darkly, reaching for the blunt still smoldering in the ashtray. Onyankopon takes a slow drag, exhaling smoke through his nose like some kind of arrogant god watching his worshipper struggle. Â
âPull them pretty ass titties out," he commands, "You know what a nigga like."Â
With shaky hands, you tug your top down, letting your heavy breasts spill free. Your nipples are already peaked and sensitive, and when your fingers brush over them, you jolt with a breathy gasp.Â
âAhâ!"Â
âKeep goin'," he rumbles, sinking deeper into his seat, blunt dangling between his fingers as he watches you with lazy hunger.
ââAin't tell you to stop."Â
You press your tits together around his thick length, the head of his dick peeking out between the softness of your cleavage. You begin rocking your body, fucking him with your tits in slow, worshipful strokesâ Â
"Mwen renmen w," you mewl again, voice weak and trembling, your swollen lips forming the words between gasps. Â
âSay that shit again.â
âMwen renmen w!" you mewl even deeper, your hips jerking uselessly as your arousal drips down your thighs. Â
He grunts, finally tossing the blunt asideââFuck it. A nigga need yoâ pussy now."
Your fingers clutch at his shoulders, pulling him down as your back hits the leather seatâhis massive frame hovers over you, swallowing you in shadow except for the violet glow of the LED lights streaking across his sweat-slicked skin. Your lips find him again in a weak, sloppy kiss, your mind too fogged with lust to form coherent thoughtsâjust need, just heat, just him.Â
âShow a nigga what he been missinâ.âÂ
Your thighs tremble as you slowly spread your legs wider beneath him, presenting your soaked foldsâpuffy and glistening under the dim light. Â
âBeen waitinâ for you," you whimper, voice cracking with desperation. Â
The words hit him like a match to gasoline. Â
He crashes his mouth back onto yours in a searing kiss before trailing his lips downâlowerâlicking a hot stripe down your neck, sucking bruises into your throat, teeth scraping over your collarbone. Your back arches when his tongue swirls around one taut nipple, then the other, pulling whines from your chest as pleasure spikes through you. Â
But he doesnât stop there. Â
Strong hands grip your thighs, spreading them wider as he licks his lipsâ"Fuck, look at you."Â
And then he dives in. Â
His tongue drags slow and filthy up your slit, savoring you before he buries his face between your legs, nose nudging your clit as he devoursâdeep, hungry strokes of his tongue, curling just right inside you. Â
Your hands fly to his braids, gripping tight as your hips jerkâ Â
"Fuck, baby.âÂ
His response? A low, vibrating growl against your pussy, his fingers digging into your thighs to hold you still as he feasts. Â
Onyankoponâs mouth is filthyâso loud, messy and wet, lips sealing around your clit with a suck that makes your whole body jerk. Saliva and arousal mix in obscene, sloppy sounds, his tongue working you open with rough, languid strokes like he's savoring every damn second. Â
You tuck your chin shyly, peeking down at him through fluttering lashesâhis face buried between your thighs, eyes hooded with satisfaction as he eats you like his last meal. Your fingers tangle in his braids, twisting gently, playing with the silky strands as a soft pout forms on your lips. Â
ââŚMissed playinâ in your hair," you whimper, voice thick with emotionâalmost fragile, like admitting it out loud makes it more real.  Â
âAinât gotta miss it,â he rasps, his tongue plunging deepâ"Keep playinâ in my shit. Gonâ let you braid me up again after you make a fuckinâ mess on me."Â
Your breath hitches, fingers tightening in his hair as you nod frantically, spreading your legs even widerâ"Uh-huhây-yeahâ!"Â Â
Your words dissolve into stupid, slurred nonsenseâ"OnyâfuhhâIâmgonnacââ as your pussy gushes against his mouth, the lewd squelch of his tongue working you over drowning out your weak cries. Your cheeks burn hot, embarrassment and pleasure twisting together as you feel everythingâhis nose grinding against your clit, his lips sucking your folds, his tongue fucking into you in slow, filthy circles. Â
âTaste so fuckinâ good," he growls against your skin, the vibration making you squeal peevishly.
âMwen renmen w..."Â
And just like that? Switch flipped.Â
His grip tightens, lifting your legs effortlessly over his broad shoulders, thumbs rubbing slow circles into the arches of your feet like heâs savoring the feel of you. Â
âKeep tellinâ a nigga you love him,â he grunts, voice low and roughâ"Letâs have a conversation."Â
You whimper, arms looping around his neck, pulling him closer until his forehead presses against yoursâbreaths mingling, hearts pounding. Â
âMwen renmen w," you whisper again, barely audible, lips brushing his with each syllable. Â
And thenâoh Godâyou feel him. His thick length slaps against your soaked folds, the blunt head nudging at your entrance, already making your body tense in anticipation. Â
âYeah, huh? Talk to me."Â
You nod frantically, pliant eyes struggling to focus as he starts to sink inâslow, so damn slowâstretching you in a way you havenât felt in too long. Â
Your face twistsâlips parting around a shaky gaspâas the fullness steals your breath. And then? Emotion hits you like a tidal wave. Â
Tears prick at your eyes, your chest swelling with something so big it hurts. You feel connectedâlike his soul is pressing into yours with every inch. Â
âMwen renmen w," you sobâweakest yet, voice crackingâas he finally bottoms out, his hips flush against your ass. Â
His groan is guttural, hands tightening on your thighsââFuck, mamaâI know."Â
And then he moves.
His strokes are borderline punishingâeach thrust forcing a choked gasp from your throat, the stretch of him bordering on too much, too deep, too everything. Yet your body clings to him greedily, walls fluttering around his length like itâs been starvedârewarding him for every inch he takes, every brutal snap of his hips that leaves you whimpering. Â
Your toes curl, thighs trembling where theyâre hooked over his shoulders. One large hand fists at the nape of your hair, yanking your face close to his until your foreheads knock togetherâyour head jerks back with each rough thrust, lips parted in a shaky pout, tears spilling over your flushed cheeks. Â
Weak little sobs hitch in your chest with every drive of his hips, your nails digging crescent moons into the sweat-slick muscles of his back. Between broken moans, your voice cracksâsoft, vulnerableâ Â
âHurtsâseeinâ you leave," you sniffle, brows knitting together, âDâdonâtâŚwanna do that againâŚâÂ
His glare darkens, jaw tightening as he rams into you harderâdeeperâa grunt tearing from his chest as his breath fans hot over your face. Â
âThen donât," he snarls, voice raw with possessiveness, "Ainât goinâ nowhere if you keep takinâ dick like this.âÂ
Your next cry is swallowed by his mouthâhis kiss bruising, tongue forcing its way past your lips as if to silence your doubts. And god help you, you let himâmelting into the pain, the pleasure, the promise in every snap of his hips. Â
Youâre silent nowâpast words, past whimpersâjust taking him, your body trembling under the sheer weight of his dominance. The only sound is the obscene squelch of your pussy creaming around him, gushing embarrassingly with every withdrawal of his thick length. Â
âThatâs itâtake this shit. Ainât no runninâ now,â he growls, watching your teary eyes roll back as your walls clench around him. Â
A surrendering little sob escapes you once moreâweak, brokenâyour hands limply gripping his shoulders as he fucks you through it, his pace never faltering. Â
âFuck, girlâyou drippinâ all on me."Â
And you areâsoaking his thighs, the leather seats, everything. Your orgasm wrings you out in slow, torturous waves as he uses you, claims you, ruins you.Â
His touch softens just enough to sootheâcalloused fingers brushing away your tears as he kisses you through your cries, lips lingering against yours in a rare moment of tenderness.
âMâsorry,â he just grunts, voice rough with sincerity.
âAinât leavinâ you again."Â
Your nods and whimpers dissolve into another aching climax, your pussy pulsing around him as you drown in the love, the passion, the need. Itâs a moment that could last forever.Â
But just like that? The mood shifts.Â
His grip tightens, flipping you effortlessly onto your knees, face pressed into the leather as he drags you back onto his lapâass up, his dick buried to the hilt inside you. Your feet tuck atop his thighs, heels digging in as you let out a tiny, shuddering âOâOohâ!"Â
You start slow. Rolling your hips back tentatively, but he then growls, âTake yoâ time. âThis dick ainât goinâ nowhere.âÂ
The command is clear. Â
You listen, setting a rhythmâslow, deliberateâskin slapping together in a steady, filthy clap that fills the heavy silence. Your thighs tremble, face smushed into the seat as your whimpers grow louderâ"OâO-oohâ!"Â
Onyankoponâs hand cracks down on your ass, ââThere she goâ. My lilâ nasty ass bitch."Â
Your fingers slip between your lips, stifling your moans as you rock back onto him, ass quaking with each bounce. Â
âI ainât movinâ," he warns, "Give me a fuckinâ show.âÂ
You press a shaky hand against his abdomen for leverage, sitting up just enough to feel him deeperâtoo deepâhitting a spot so painfully good your body locks up.
His grip tightens around your waist as you whimperâ"Ooh, shit!â before desperately bouncing your ass back onto him, the sound of skin slapping skin deafening in the enclosed space. Â
And then? Your pussy farts around him for the thousandth time, wet and obscene, the vibration dragging a trembling groan from your throatââOoooh, mygodâPapaâ!"Â
You were never loud like this.Â
Your moans drag outâwhiny, high-pitched, annoyed with yourself because you canât stop them, each thrust pulling another pathetic sound from your lips. Â
Onyankoponâs hand slips around your torso, calloused fingers cupping beneath your breasts where his name brands into your skinâitâs effortless. Heâs bouncing you down onto his dick like you weigh nothing, your legs kicking weakly as your cream paints his length.  Â
âYou gonâ keep takinâ this muhfuckaâ like you missed it.âÂ
And you doâeach bounce, each squelch, each fatty noise your pussy makes proving it. Â
"Thatâs my muhfuckinâ girl."Â
Your head falls back against his shoulder, mouth drooling, eyes rolling, body melting. He owns you.Â
His thick forearm presses against your throat, the pressure just enough to make your vision blur at the edges as he fucks into you with even more brutal, punishing strokes. His jaw rests heavy atop your head, your weak panting the only sound you can manage past the tightness in your windpipeâyour body submitting under his dominance. Â
âMmmfâhot," you mewl, sweat slicked skin sticking to his, the air in the car suffocating. Â
Without breaking rhythm, Onyankopon reaches over and rolls the window down, the sudden rush of night air hitting your overheated skinâ Â
Oh God.Â
Your noisesâthose pathetic, whimpering, creaming soundsâare now free to echo into the quiet neighborhood. Â
Panicked, you reach a shaky hand toward the window switchâbut his grip tightens around your throat, cutting off your air as he rams up into you, all while tugging you down onto his dick even harder.Â
âNnghâ!" you choke, humiliation burning through you as you clench around him. Â
âYou whininâ like a bitch,â he grunts directly into your ear, the vibration shooting straight to your core. Â
Then, with a final rough tug, he forces your face toward the open windowâforcing you to see the dimly lit houses, the quiet streetsâhis people, his city. Â
âLet everybody know Iâm back home.â
And you scream. His name ripping from your throat, raw and unhinged.Â
âMwen renmen w,â he growls between thrusts, the Creole rolling off his tongue like honey mixed with gravelâyour words, your love, thrown back at you with the same raw intensity youâd given him all night. Â
Your body jerks as he nutsâdeep, so deepâhis release flooding you in thick, pulsing waves that make your thighs quiver.Â
For a long moment, thereâs nothing but heavy breathingâhis chest rising and falling against your back, your own breath hitching in your throat as aftershocks ripple through you. Â
Then, weakly, you tilt your head up, catching his lips in one last, tender kissâyour little cries soft against his mouth, voice trembling with everythingârelief, exhaustion, love. Â
Your body melts back against his chest, muscles lax and satisfied as you peer out through the cracked window at the quiet streets of the 7th Ward. The humid night air carries the distant hum of cicadas and the faint bassline of someoneâs music drifting from a porch down the block. His warmth presses into your back, steadying, as you tilt your head to murmur against his skinâ Â
âWhere would we go... if we left?"Â
For a beat, he stillsâhis breath huffing against your damp shoulder before he nuzzles into the crook of your neck, lips brushing the sensitive skin there.Â
âWherever you wanna be, girl. âLong as itâs got a bed that can take how I fuck you."Â
A weak giggle bubbles from your throatâbut then you say it, the words slipping out before you can second-guess them.Â
ââM serious, Papa. I think itâs time to get out the 7th.âÂ
You feel his surprise, the way his grip tightens reflexively around your waist.
âWhere âthis cominâ from?â  Â
You swallow, suddenly shy.Â
"Been thinkinâ... âbout quiet. âBout space. âBout youâusâsomewhere ainât nobody knockinâ on the door.â
His fingers trace idle patterns on your hip as he murmurs, âA crib up in the Art District âdonât sound bad."
âGives more space for Bear to run around."
âYeah," he agrees, "A nigga could look into some trade schools âround there too."Â
Wait.Â
 You turn slightly in his arms, searching his face.Â
âYouâre serious?"Â
He nods. Then he says itâwords heavy with the weight of a future heâs choosing.
ââWanna give you a ring. A child. âCanât do allatâ beinâ on the streets.â
Your heart swells.Â
You clutch his face as you say, âIt doesnât matter who you are to everybody else. You got me. I love you more than life itself, Onyankopon.âÂ
He grunts low in his throatâthen crashes his lips against yours in a kiss so deep, so emotional, it makes you giggle against his mouth, cheeks burning. Â
âWe finnaâ go get a ring right fuckinâ now.âÂ
You giggle once more, pressing a hand to his chest.Â
"Letâs make it into the house first, yeah? We need a shower."Â
"Aight. Immaâ fuck you again in there."Â
You squeak as he hoists you up, your half naked body tucked tight against his chest as he steps out into the humid night. A few voices call out from porches down the blockââAye, Ony back home!"âcheery, thick with that Southern lilt.Â
You nestle your face against the sweat damp skin of his collarbone before murmuring, ââŚThe 7th ainât so bad with you here."Â
When you peer up, his gaze is already locked on youâdark, heavy, full of something that makes your stomach flip. Â
âA nigga couldnât ask for anythinâ more than yoâ love.â
Before you can respondâscratch scratch scratchâBearâs massive paws hit the front door, his excited whines vibrating through the wood. Â
Onyankopon just chuckles, adjusting you in his arms as he kicks the door open. And the last thing the neighborhood hears before it slams shut? Your giggles, his grunt as Bear tackles him, and the thud of all three of you entering inside with a heap.Â
Home. It feels like home again.Â
THIS IS TOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD đ˝ď¸
