He smirked and kissed both my cheeks. “It’s Ruger or Mekai. What up doe, Autumn?”
I smiled and nodded. “Gotcha. Hi, Jaxson.”
“Autumn. Good to see you, sweetheart.” He kissed my cheek as well.
“Ready, baby?” Mekai asked Kenzi.
“Yes. Just waiting for Willow to come out of the bathroom.”
“I’m here. Hello, Mekai and Jaxson.”
“Willow. I don’t think you’ve met our brother, Ghana,” Mekai said.
“I have not. How are you, Ghana? I’m Willow, Kenzi’sverybest friend.”
“Not too much, Hillary,” I teased, and Kenzi and I laughed.
“Whatever.” Willow waved us off.
“Alright, let’s go. I’m ready for some good fun, good food, and to hear some good music!” Kenzi exclaimed. We all filed out of the house, and I headed to my car. Before I could get to the driveway, I felt my body stop, and I looked back to see Ghana holding my hand.
“Ride with me,” he suggested.
I frowned lightly. “Pardon me?”
“Ride with me,” he repeated.
“Uh, I don’t believe I can. I drove, and besides, I have on a skirt.”
“If you ride, I’ll talk. Fair exchange.”
“I have on a sk?—”
“It’s long enough not to show anything, mama.”
“Autumn, go,” Kenzi said, giving me that ‘please’ pout she gave when she really wanted me to do something. I was nervous as hell, especially after what he said to me.
I looked back at Ghana and sighed. “Fine.”
“Coo’. You can put your bag in here,” he said, opening the saddlebag. I placed my purse inside, then he helped me onto the back of his bike. I held the front of my skirt with my left hand, placed my right one in his palm, swinging my leg over, being sure to keep my legs as closed as possible. I settled onto the backwith my knees pressed together. I could hear him chuckle as he handed me his helmet.
“You can’t ride with your knees in my back, shorty. Open ya legs a bit.” He leaned a little closer. “I promise no one will see how fat that motherfucka is.”
Oh, God! Stop!
I could feel a light tingle hit my clit. He got on as I told him, “Enough of that talk, sir. I’m your therapist. Keep it clean.”
He turned his head slightly with a smirk on his face. “Until I make it messy? Got it.”
I shook my head as he started the engine, and it roared to life.
I didn’t know what I was getting myself into with Ghana, but something told me I was in for abigsurprise.
We cruised through the downtown area of Detroit until we got to Brush Street. It was where Jax and Ruger had new townhomes built last fall, and the construction was finally completed over the spring. The block party was for the Hellraizers and to celebrate the completion of the community.
As we rode down the block, I could feel how tense Autumn was. She tried not to hold on to my waist, but with the way I rode, she had no choice but to hold on to me tightly. Feeling her arms wrapped around me felt like home. I had never felt more comfortable in a woman’s presence than I did with her. It was weird and blowing my mind because I didn’t even completely feel this way about Nichelle.
I’d admit the broad was only supposed to be a one-nighter, but since the sex was good, I wanted to keep her around. The more I kept her around, the more she grew on me and made me feel as if maybe we could have a future together.
