Page 50 of The Phyre that Burns

“Damn!” I heard Lennon say over the music.

I wanted to check him, but I let his ass slide because I was focused on the little ass dress Ginae wore and how good she looked. Phoenix spotted us first, and her eyes widened. I put my index finger up to my lips, urging her not to say anything, and she rolled her eyes.

When I got behind Ginae, I smacked her ass, and she stood up with a jolt and turned around. Based on her expression, she was prepared to lay me out until she realized it was me.

“What are you doing here?” she asked after she threw her arms around my neck.

I kissed her forehead before whispering in her ear. “I wanted to see you, and I couldn’t wait until tomorrow. You look good in this little bitty ass dress.”

She giggled as she stepped back, doing a spin and giving me the full view. The dress was short and red, with slits on the side that were higher than I preferred.

“You like?” She stepped back into my arms.

“I love. Are you wearing panties?”

“A thong. Why?”

“Because it doesn’t look like it.”

“Nae, are you going to officially introduce me to Phyre?” Devyn asked with a big smile.

“Of course, sis. I was a little distracted by his fine ass. Baby, this is my best friend, Devyn. Devyn, this is Phyre.”

“It’s nice to finally meet you in person,” I said.

“Same. Are you taking care of my sister?”

“I don’t know. Am I taking care of you, baby?”

“He’s taking very good care of me.”

“Good. She seems a lot happier than she was that first week. I was ready to come scoop my girl up,” Devyn teased.

“I’m glad you didn’t. It took me a minute for her stubborn ass to come around, but thankfully, she eventually gave in.”

“I’m Lennon,” he said, extending his hand toward Devyn.

“Oh, hey, Lennon. I’m Devyn. It’s nice to meet you.”

“You too. Can I buy you a drink?” he offered.

“Umm, we’re in VIP. I think we got everything we need,” Devyn told him.

“I’m sure there’s something I can do for a pretty woman like you. Can?—”

“Lennon,” Ginae interrupted. “My friend is happily married, and her husband don’t play about her. Aren’t your hands already full anyway?”

Lennon looked at me before saying, “You been pillow talking, bruh?”

“Nah. We were wide awake when I told her you were juggling two households. I didn’t know it was a secret.”

Lennon walked away, shaking his head, and I couldn’t hold my laughter in any longer. Ginae told Devyn more about Lennon’s lifestyle before they both joined me in laughter.

“Was Lennon trying to recruit a third woman?” Phoenix asked when she and Kevin joined us.

“Possibly, but it won’t be my bestie. Kevin, did you meet my best friend?”

“Phoenix introduced us while you and your man were playing kissy face,” Devyn responded.
