Two Weeks Later
“We’re always doing things I like to do. I’m not complaining, but I don’t want our marriage to be one-sided. Let’s do something today that interests you.”
Kairo smoothed his hand over my head and smirked.
I hit him in his chest and scoffed. We were in the theater room to watch a movie but had yet to select anything. He and I were content just being wrapped in each other’s arms.
The last two weeks had been crazy, so this moment of peace was needed.
“Baby, whatever you’re into is what I’m down for. Before you, it was all work and no play. I’m thoroughly enjoying seeing life through your eyes. I don’t need much. This right here is perfect.”
I smiled at him, and he leaned down to kiss my lips.
“I’ve had us cooped up in here for weeks. But I’m ready to go outside. Your home has plenty to offer, but I miss flying free and my garden.”
“Our home.”
Kairo kissed my shoulder and ran his hand up my body and into my hair.
He took a fist full of my hair and yanked my head back. Just that quickly, lust had been activated. I grabbed his hand and put it between my thighs, and my head rolled back as he massaged me. He repositioned my body on him, so my back was to his front.
His hardness grew under me, and I was eager to feel inside of me.
“Kair—” I fussed when his fingers stilled.
“This is our home. You’re going to be my wife, so I need you to get that through your skull. Do we have an understanding?”
Kairo didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, he pushed me forward and set me on his hard dick. When had he even removed himself from his basketball shorts? I shuddered, feeling so full.
I’d only been seated for a second and was already about to cum.
“Brother! Oh my God!”
Kashia slammed the door, and I tried to move off Kairo, but he held me in place.
“I know shit awkward, but I need this, or I’m not going to have a good day.”
I giggled, although I was beyond embarrassed.
Kairo kissed the middle of my back and lifted his hips just as I rocked back.
We groaned, and I buried my face in the throw pillow.
Without regard to my ability to walk later, Kario let my ass have it.
I’d cum like four times to his one. When he finally pulled out of me, he slapped my butt, then stood up.
Kairo grabbed me and a blanket to cover me.
I prayed that Kashia was in his man cave because I wasn’t in the mood to face her yet, but I guessed I should have made my prayer plain when I saw his parents in his kitchen.
“It looks like we’re gonna have to start calling before we come over, honey,” Mrs. Moore joked, and I buried my face in Kairo’s neck.
“Oh, my gosh!”
Mr. Moore laughed as Kairo carried us upstairs.
“I have some information we need to discuss, so no round two.” He yelled at our backs.
In the room, I hit Kairo on the chest as he lowered me to my feet.
He was kekeing, but I didn’t see a damn thing funny. Mr. and Mrs. Moore knowing that I let their son freak on me felt like a violation. We were all grown, but part of me felt like I wasn’t that grown.
I started our shower and popped Kairo’s hand when he tried to grab me.
“I’m sorry for laughing, but I hadn’t expected them to be here.
Kashia has her own spot but claims mine as well, so having her pop up makes sense.
If my parents are here, too, it’s serious.
I was just caught off guard. I’ll make sure I give everyone a talk about calling first and using the emergency key for non-emergency related events.
This needs to be your safe haven, and you can’t have that if you’re uptight in your own space. ”
Kairo kissed my lips while I shook my head.
“Your family is used to certain things, so they shouldn’t have to change just because I’m here. That’s how resentment is born. I can adjust.”
Kairo gripped my face.
“You’re not listening to me, baby girl. This is your home, and you have to set boundaries.
I never had to, because I was always at work.
If I came home and Karter or Kashia were here, cool, but now things are different.
There was no malicious intent today, just a reminder, for all involved, to be mindful.
You know I love eating your pussy while your ass hangs off the side of the couch, and that’s right by the front door. It could have been much worse.”
He had a point.
I stood on my tiptoes and poked out my lips.
His words were making their way around my head. Kairo and I jumped in the shower, got dressed, and made our way back to the kitchen. Mrs. Moore was at the stove. When she heard us come in, she smiled at me, and I returned it, although I wanted to disappear.
She waved me over to her and pulled me in for a hug.
“Kane’s mama caught us in the act more than a few times before she stopped coming over uninvited. It’s only going to take us this one time. I love my son, but there are just some things I’d rather not know about him.” She grinned then went back to cooking.
“Pops, do we need to go to my office, or can we talk here?” Kairo asked after he kissed his mother’s temple then my lips.
“No secrets. As your wife, she’ll be privy to everything going on. You’ll need that anchor, . . . a place to go when the days get too long and you need somewhere to unpack. That’s something only your wife can do.”
Kairo nodded, and I could see the admiration in him for his father.
He really looked up to Kane Moore, and it was the sexiest thing.
Kairo was smart, but he knew when to step back and let his father lead.
I respected him for that and knew that he’d lead me and our family the way I watched Bo White do for us growing up and still today.
My daddy was a special man and paved the way for what I could expect in my future husband.
Kairo winked at me when he caught me staring.
Rolling my eyes, I climbed onto one of the barstools and looked at Mr. Moore.
“Is everything okay? You look stressed.”
He smiled at me. “I don’t like people messing with my children.
It does something to my brain.” Mr. Moore pushed a folder toward Kairo.
“In that folder is proof that Camille was stealing from all three locations, and when Steven caught her, instead of bringing it to our attention, he blackmailed her with sex and whatever information she could get on you. When that stopped working, he started pushing the issue about you not being married.”
“Stealing?” Kairo shook his head. “Nah. That’s something I would have caught, Pops. I was hands on with everything. There is no way she was stealing from us and I didn’t know. The pussy wasn’t that good.” He looked between me and his mother. “My bad, but something not making sense.”
I watched as Kairo went through the paperwork in the folder with pinched brows.
The deeper he got, the more the vein in his forehead stuck out. He cursed under his breath, and I looked at Mrs. Moore, and she looked just as stressed as her husband. There was more they weren’t saying, and that made me anxious.
Kairo looked up at me, and the fire I saw in his eyes sent a chill down my spine.
“What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?”
He nodded toward my right wrist, and I looked down at my bracelet I never took off.
“The jewelry at Diamonds her side hustle was at stake, too, with her being fired.
I was shocked because I wouldn’t have come up with theft as her reason for her trying to send me to jail.
She would have gotten away with her plan had there not been cameras around the entire store.
Kairo grabbed my hand, and it brought my attention to him.
“That was how Steven caught her. He oversees purchasing the pieces. The tracking numbers showed that several times, since she’d been promoted, her intake form would say something was missing when the tracking numbers showed as delivered.
The Kingsland Boulevard location was my first location, so it was a hub of sorts.
Every piece got delivered there, then Von or myself would take them to the other two locations.
Steven must have confronted her about what she was up to and decided to blackmail her. ”
“So, what happens next? Will this interfere with what the lawyers are doing with her going to the gossip blogs?”
“No, they’re putting everything together. In her panic, she got sloppy, and there is a lot of physical evidence of her stealing and being the anonymous source.”
