What she doesn't expect is to catch the eye of Nasir "King" Carter, a man already legendary in his city. At twenty-five, King is one of Philly's hottest up-and-coming music producers. He's worked with the biggest names, owns multiple businesses, and never forgets to give back to the neighborhood that raised him. Untouchable, successful, and fiercely focused, King has never let a woman into his world - until Saniya. Their first encounter is brief, a fleeting glance at a community event, but it's enough to spark something neither can ignore. When fate brings them together again, King isn't letting her slip away. What begins as a guided tour of the city slowly becomes something deeper. Saniya is cautious but intrigued, drawn to the man behind the power. King, used to guarding his heart, finds himself captivated by her softness, her voice, her presence - the one thing money and influence can't buy. But love in Philly comes with its risks. With King's name carrying weight in the streets, Saniya must decide if she's ready to step into his world - and King must face whether opening his heart is worth putting everything he's built on the line. A story of love, loyalty, and finding something real in a city that doesn't forgive mistakes.

"Don't touch me" He said through gritted teeth, "I don't know what I'll do if you touch me" My heart dropped. "I don't want to see you like this" I frowned and hesitantly tried to touch his shoulder, but he grabbed my hand tightly but gently. "Fuck it" He murmured as he held my jaw and pressed his lips on mine. (The guy is 22 and the girl is 17 a few months away from 18. If you're bothered by that please don't read it.)

Jamie Ashanti Robinson had worked hard to get where she is being a young black lawyer in New York when an opportunity arises to let loose and have fun she comes in contact with someone she never thought she would see again. How will she react?

"I know ma. Stop fronting. Tell me you miss me." He kissed her in between his words, in love with the way her brown eyes dazed. "I miss you. And your mouth tastes like pickles." She spoke softly, a smile taking over her face once he laughed. "You wanna taste it again?" He stuck his tongue out at her, and she closed her eyes after sucking it into her mouth. She cradled the side of his face, rubbing over his prominent jawline as the kiss deepened. Dayvon's hands went underneath her tank top, breaking the kiss for a moment to get it off. The way he rubbed on her body made her moan again, missing the feeling of his hands on her skin. He hadn't touched her intimately in so long. She'd missed him.
