Treacherous Desire

CHAPTER 6

Rozalynne was still shocked by Julian's sudden bravery minutes after he left. She rushed to get dressed, then called Cheyenne and Qiona and requested they meet at Cheyenne's house so she could talk to them. She felt Cheyenne's house was the safest because if Kameron came home early, the last place he'd think to look was Cheyenne's house since Cheyenne and Kameron had such distaste for one another.

"He just kissed you out of the blue?' Cheyenne titled her head to the side, shooting Rozalynne a quizzical look.

"Yes. He touched my chin then stared into my eyes for a few seconds. Next thing I know, his lips were pressed against mines. He didn't slip me tongue or anything, but he held his lips to mines for quite some time. After it was done, he said he'd always wanted to do that," Rozalynne explained in more detail.

"That's it?" Qiona asked, smiling.

"You're loving this, aren't you, Que?" Rozalynne slightly chuckled.

"I don't see what's so amusing about this." Cheyenne was offended by how lightly Rozalynne and Qiona were taking this.

Cheyenne, Qiona, and Rozalynne were as close as any sorority sisters could be. As a matter of fact, they were like blood sisters.

Cheyenne was the oldest, more level-headed, rational one who frowned upon people who didn't do the right thing.

Qiona was the more assertive, open-minded, nonjudgmental one that was always ready and willing to take chances middle sister.

Rozalynne was the overly kind, good-hearted, genuine, laid back, reserved baby of the bunch.

As much as it bothered Cheyenne to helplessly watch the dysfunction in Rozalynne's marriage for all these years, it bothered her even more to watch Rozalynne deliberately make things worse.

Qiona smirked at Cheyenne and sucked her teeth. "Frankly, I think it's good you're getting some attention from another man. It's long overdue. That way, Kameron will either wise up and do better, or you'll wise up and move on finally. And who better to move on to than a happily retired, wealthy, sexy, single, fine man like Julian Steele?"

"Or Kameron will beat her to death and then kill Julian. We all know with his connections on the force he could just as well do that and get away with it. And since you refuse to press charges, it'll be his word against yours, Rozalynne," Cheyenne chastised firmly and abruptly.

"Give the girl a break. After everything she's been through with that jackass, she deserves to know how it feels to have her toes curled again," Qiona stated.

"Well, he didn't really make my toes curl. But he did light a little spark down there. I ain't going to lie." Rozalynne giggled thinking about Julian and his sexy lips all over again.

"You know you wanna know what else he can do after that kiss." It was as if Qiona was reading Rozalynne's mind.

"Que you have no idea, but..." Rozalynne stopped, shaking her head.

"But you're playing with fire, and if you're not careful, will get burned." Cheyenne refused to let it go.

"Cheyenne, I love you, and the fact that you worry so much is appreciated. But, if it's all right, Mom, I have somewhere I need to be," Rozalynne said.

Qiona and Cheyenne looked at Rozalynne with raised brows. "Where you going?" they asked in unison.

"Probably to see what else Julian has to offer." Qiona laughed.
