May to December

Chapter Four

When EZ arrived back at his trailer, he found Letty still asleep in his bed. She had gotten more comfortable, kicking his beaten to shit old comforter to the end of the bed. She was clutching his pillow to her chest like a teddy bear. She had borrowed one of his t-shirts, and it was riding dangerously high on her hips, giving him a good view of her black cotton panties. For a moment, EZ forced himself to look away. Then he remembered that Coco had all but given him his direct blessing. He had permission, and it was no secret that Letty wanted him as much as he wanted her. There was no reason for him to look away. Nor was there anything or anyone stopping him from discarding his shirt and stripping out of his jeans and joining her in bed. And that's precisely what he did. Settling himself next to her on the bed, EZ plucked his pillow out of her grasp. Quickly stuffing the pillow behind his head, he pulled Letty into his arms, letting her rest her pretty head atop his chest. He dropped a quick kiss to her forehead.

His kiss is what woke her. "EZ?" She lifted her head and looked down on him in confusion. "What –"

EZ silenced her with a kiss. For all of his intelligence, he had never been good with words when emotions were involved. He figured it was easier to show her how he felt in that moment.

Letty was breathing heavily when they finally parted for air. "You better not be fucking with me," she whispered.

"I wouldn't do that to you, mi amor." He reached up and cupped her cheek in his hand.

"What about Coco?"

"We have his blessing," he informed her. "I'm caught up in some bad shit, bebita," he warned her, "shit that club doesn't know about, shit I can't tell you about." He had to make sure that she was going into this with her eyes wide open. He never wanted to have to lie to her. Letty deserved better than that.

"Is this bad shit gonna hurt Coco?" Letty was good at putting up a tough front, but she couldn't entirely hide the concern and love she had for her father.

"No, I've made sure of it," EZ promised.

Letty turned her head and kissed the palm of the hand that he had cupping her cheek. It sent a chill down EZ's spine. "Will this be an exclusive thing, or are you still gonna fuck around when you're with the club?"

"Fuck, no!" EZ sat up, catching her by surprise. Grabbing her waist, he reversed their positions. Letty now lay on her back, and he had his hands on either side of her, caging her in. "There's you and only you, period."

Letty smiled. "Good." She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I don't think I could handle sharing you," she admitted, warming his soul.

"You never have to worry about that," he smiled down at her. "Am I allowed to kiss you again?"

"Nene, you can kiss anytime you want to." Letty giggled.

"Perfect answer." He crashed his lips down on hers.
