alright. As soon as I take back what is due to me, you damn right itâs gonâ be fine.â
âI canât seem to figure out if youâre out for revenge against this woman, or if you really want to be with Jaylin.â
âBoth. For me, this is personal, and I canât wait to feel him inside of me again.â
âThatâs some deep shit, Scorpio. I donât want you to mess around and hurt yourself. Youâve already allowed him to do it once, and itâll be such a shame if you let him do it again.â
Bernie went back to her work station and I stayed in my office waiting for my phone to ring. When I finally got my call, it wasnât until a quarter to nine and wasnât exactly what I expected.
âIâm kind of tied up tonight. Weâre gonna have to make plans for dinner the next time I come to St. Louis.â
I took a deep breath and held my aching stomach. âYou canât even take one hour of your time to have dinner with me?â
âNot tonight.â
âWhat about tomorrow?â
âI have plans.â
âWhat about lunch?â
âDamn, baby, I said Iâll see you the next time I come back.â
âJaylin, you know thatâs a lie. We havenât seen each other in a long time and I donât understand why youâre trying to avoid me.â
âIâm not trying to avoid you, Scorpio. Iâm a busy man, and besides, Iâm married now. I ainât got no business having dinner or anything with my ex-fiancé.â
âSo, you donât trust yourself? Is that what youâre saying ?â
âNo, what Iâm saying is what I said before. Iâm marriedââ
âThatâs bullshit and you know it,â I yelled. I had to take a deep breath and calm myself. âYou know damn well that you can make time for me if you want to.â
âWell, I donât want to.â
âAnd, why not? This time, though, I want the truth.â
He was silent. I could tell that he moved the phone away because I heard him say something in the background.
I spoke softly, âTell me why you canât have dinner with me?â
âBe . . . because I love my wife, my kids, and I am truly thankful for everything that I have. Being alone with you will cause me to jeopardize that. I donât trust myself, Scorpio, and I know that if I see you tonight, Iâm going to have sex with you.â
The feeling of what he said made me squeeze my legs together. I continued to speak in my soft, yet seductive voice. âSo what, Jaylin. Iâm dying to have sex with you, too. Iâve been feeling you inside of me all day long and Iâm ready for the real thing. Tomorrow night, or whenever, youâll be back at home and no one will ever know what happened between us. Just allow me this one night, okay?â
âItâs not that easy, baby. Iâll know what went down between us and I canât face Nokea, knowing that after all weâd been through, I wound up right back in your arms.â
I wasnât trying to hear him. âDo you remember how and when we used to make love everyday? How weâd wash each other in the shower, and Iâd let you have your way with me anywhere, anyway, and anytime.â
Jaylin was silent, so I continued.
âWell, I remember. I want to feel your dick Jaylin. What is so wrong with me wanting to feel and taste your cum again? You want to taste me, donât you?â
âMaybe,â he said. I felt his voice getting weak.
âThen, come claim your pussy. Itâs always going to be yours, whenever and however you want it. If my memory serves me correctly, Iâll be bending over by the time you get here. Jayâs closes at midnight. Iâm kicking everybody out by 10:00 P.M. , so tell me, Can I expect to see you walking through those doors shortly thereafter?â
He breathed heavily into the phone. âListen,
