too much trouble without her being around.” I smiled back at him, happy that we were actually having a conversation together.
“What kind of trouble?” He smirked at me, licking those smooth lips of his.
I began to chuckle. “Trouble that’s for me to know and for you to find out,” I winked at him, enjoying the little tease game he had started.
“Hmmm... But you gotta give me clues though.”
“Well, last time Monique left me to go visit her family, I ended up in Dubai, with a new fiancé and a new tattoo, in a place I had never imagined to get one in.” I began to laugh to myself at the memory of Dubai. Those were the days when freaky Jess was alive. When there was no one called Ryan Lewis.
“Fiancé? Wow, and where is he now?” he questioned me, trying to find out if I was single or not. He thought he was sly, but I knew what he was trying to do. Fortunately for me, I had secrets that would blow his mind.
“My fiancé? Monaé’s still a freak, living life in South Africa.”
I could tell by the look on his face that he was shocked. Even I was shocked when I woke up that day, only to find out I had gotten engaged to a complete female stranger, who I had just happened to be partying with the night before.
“Damn girl, who would have thought... So are you only attracted to females?”
“I’m not attracted to females. Monaé was a very drunk mistake. I only like dicks.”
Wait... Did I really just say that?
“Wow, that’s good then,” he grinned widely at me, bringing one of his hands up to scratch his freshly waved hair. His waves looked good on his head. They had been done professionally and neat, just the way I loved them.
“Why is that good?” I asked him, still admiring everything about this sexy man. Tall, light caramel, very attractive and muscular. All for me to stare at right now.
“Because that means I have a better chance of seeing where your mysterious tattoo is.”
I began to laugh again, only because this guy thought he was slick! But I was about to play him at his own game.
“Where do you think it is, Forrest?” I questioned him seductively, and very happy that I had now had the chance to say his name. I loved the way it rolled off my tongue.
“Somewhere naughty.” One lick of his lips again, and I was automatically turned on completely.
“Naughty?” I asked him jokingly, knowing exactly where he meant when he said naughty.
“Yes... Somewhere very naughty,” he replied sexily.
I smiled to myself, as I began to wonder if I would ever let Forrest see my tattoo.
“Well, I can’t lie to you. It’s in a personal place.”
“Will you ever let me see it?”
Oh God...
“Maybe,” I sighed deeply. The longer I stayed in the kitchen with him, the more I was finding myself becoming more and more sexually frustrated. It was time for me to go.
“It was nice meeting you, Forrest.” I began to get up from my seat, picked up Monique’s things and started making my way towards the kitchen door.
“You’re going?” he questioned me, clearly disappointed that I was leaving so soon. He was now standing in front of the kitchen door, stopping me from leaving.
“Yeah...”
“Stay with me,” he said, only to realize how desperate he was for me to stay. “I mean... Keep me company for a while. Trey’s no fun, all he wants to do is cry all day. I need someone to keep me entertained.”
“And that person is me?” I questioned him, clearly thinking he wasn’t serious.
“Yes.”
He was serious. I sighed deeply again. This man really was trying to make me fall crazy in love with him.
“Okay,” I nodded at him. “I’ll stay, but just for a little while.”
“Thank you, Jessica.”
Damn, even the way he said my name sounded too sexy to me.
Let’s just say a “little while” turned into three hours. During the three hours, I found out so many things about Forrest. Firstly, he was twenty-three, one year older than me and he was Trey’s half-brother. That
