Page 78 of Kove and Xiah

“For sure.” I dapped him and he nodded at Xiah.

“Keep his head level, beautiful, because shit is about to get hectic for him. He’s gonna need a real one in his corner.”

“He’s got that,” she said and I felt the sincerity in her words. Smalls dapped her up and she fumbled through it, which had him laughing and shaking his head when he walked off. I hooked my fingers through her belt loops and pulled her body into mine.

“You ready to get a rose?”

Her brows pinched. “A rose?”

“Yeah, you just told my boy you’re going to hold me down. In my world that’s not something we take lightly. The women who rock with us on some real shit get inked with a rose. You trying to get one?”

“Maybe I already have one.”

Then my name needs to be on it…

I lowered my head and she tilted hers back to return my kiss. I smiled when I pulled away. “I’ve seen every inch of your body. If you had a tattoo, I would know.”

“Would you?” She smiled smugly. “You’re kind of distracted when I’m naked.”

For sure. Her pussy had me very distracted…

“Yeah I am, so do you have one?”

“Maybe?”

“You’re not gonna tell me.”

“Nope. You’ll have to search for it the next time you get me naked.”

“Kove, the guys need you over there and we need her over here.”

Someone pulled Xiah away from me and I hated the fucking separation which had me glaring at two faces I had a love-hate relationship with. The hate was new because why the fuck were they interrupting our moment? But I loved their aggravating asses.

“What’s up, Rebel and Yah?”

“She’s what’s up. We need a moment, so go.” Yahzi waved me off and pulled Xiah to her side. When I reached for her, Rebel stepped between us. “Nope. Not happening. You brought her here knowing how this was going down. She’s ours.”

“Nah, fuck that. Don’t y’all need to be minding y’all’s kids business and not mine and my girl’s?”

Yahzi smiled big as shit. “Our kids are with Mae and Chan. We have time.”

She turned to Xiah. “Did you know that he’s our little brother, which means we get to mind his business whenever we want. And since you’re the first woman he’s ever brought to something like this, we’re about to mind yours.”

“Oh…” Xiah looked flushed but nodded. “I’m okay with that.”

“Good, because you didn’t have a choice.” Rebel grinned and she and Yahzi each took a side, looping their arms through Xiah’s, dragging her away from me.

Yahzi wiggled her fingers at me, waving goodbye, and I groaned, knowing there wasn’t shit I could say to either of them.

“You better pray she still wants to fuck with you when they’re done with her.” My brother’s voice had me turning to him.

My brother passed me a blunt when he stepped beside me. I accepted and pulled from it, watching Yahzi and Rebel walk Xiah over to where Teaira was standing.

“Ain’t shit they can tell her to change her mind about me.”

Yoel laughed. “You sure about that?”

“No, but there isn’t a damn thing I can do about it, is there? They’re locked in on her.”
