"How are you supposed to keep your man with your hair in that mess, Tamia?" "And has your hair been looking like that all week?" She went on talking about my hair now, considering it was blown-out instead of well kept, hot combed and straightened the way that she liked. "No, mama." I dragged, annoyed completely now with all of my peace gone in this moment. "I just got out of the shower and I just finished washing and blow-drying my hair." "I'm going to hot comb it and then flat iron it when I'm finished doing my skincare." "Yasin's not going to be home until tomorrow probably anyway." I threw in there but of course she wouldn't chastise him about why and where.

The night of her twenty-fifth birthday forever altered the trajectory of her life.

He licked his lips, his focus on the confection. "I want a bite." She smirked. "You can make your own." He looked up into her dark eyes, made light by the fire's glow. He flexed his fingers, one hand finding the soft flesh of her ass, the other her waist. "I don't want my own. I want yours." ________ Desperate for money to protect her incarcerated brother, Penelope Georgia decides to become a surrogate. She's declined by a traditional agency because she's never had a child before. She discovers another avenue without that requirement that also happens to pay better. Unique, however, to most surrogate contracts, the Rogans require Penelope to not only provide the egg and take the child to term, but also that the child must be conceived naturally. With the promise of cash upfront, she agrees to the terms. What she wasn't expecting was an inconvenient attraction to Mr. Rogan that only grows as they embark on the journey to conceive a child for his wife. She's quickly pulled into the couple's dysfunctional relationship while also navigating a lot of firsts for herself. By the time she regrets her decisions, she's in way too far over her head. The last thing she needs to find out is that Mr. Rogan's course mannerisms with her and long absences are because he returns her affections. Further interaction between the two quickly becomes a slippery slope between fulfilling their obligation and crossing a thin line. ___________ So, if you couldn't tell from the description, this story is going to be messy as hell; BUT, this is the one you all voted on LOL! So I'm blaming it on you!! (hehe) (COMPLETE)
