"I told you about looking down when you being talked to mama." Kaiser spoke more softly than before. In the small time he been around Serenity, he noticed how shy she was.

"She never asked to be chosen second. He never asked to love soft." Ka'Lani Simone Harris spent her whole life watching boys pick her brownskin twin, Imani, first. Every text, every glance, every "you cute but..." - it all ended the same. But when Juelz Amir Thompson steps into her world - quiet, tattooed, hood-smart, and realer than any man she's known - he flips her entire mindset. Only... Ka'Lani ain't sure if he really sees her, or just another shadow of her sister. Juelz got demons. A past that moves quiet but dangerous. And love? That shit was never part of the plan. But Ka'Lani pulls something out of him nobody's ever touched - not his exes, not his block, not even his blood. Now the city watching. Girls throwing shade. Secrets resurfacing. And his enemies? They don't like seeing him soft. But love like this? Ain't soft. It's bold. It's bruised. And it refuses to be background. This ain't no fairytale. This is hood love

"If you're all for me than let me know what's up, don't change up on me in the long run.. keep it open 100 cause you got potential"

Forbidden things always seem to be the most desirable and I never been one to hold back from getting what I want, no matter the circumstances. Until her. She's beyond forbidden, yet she's all I want, all I crave, all I desire.

"We shouldn't be doing this and you know it. It's so wrong.....but I've never felt something so wrong, feel so right." "If it feels right even when you know you got a man then it may not be wrong. Either way I'm yours still."
