It's a MBJ story...of course it's gonna be good...I hope 😀

He had it all. Fame. Fortune. The cars, the houses, the women. The world cheered when he walked into a room. Every headline praised his game. Every city knew his name. But when the lights dimmed and the parties ended, he went home alone. Every time. Because the truth was-he didn't have love. Not the kind that stays. Not the kind that sees past the fame. Not the kind that makes you want to be more. Until he met Draya. She wasn't impressed by his fame. She didn't care about the cars or the cameras. She was busy-working double shifts at the hair salon , raising her son with fierce devotion, building a life from the ground up. Quiet, graceful, and far from the drama his world was filled with. She didn't need him. That's what shook him. But he needed her. In her presence, he found something the spotlight never gave him: peace. She made him want to slow down. To protect, to grow, to be a man worthy of her and her little boy who started to look at him like a hero. But not everyone wanted to see him change. The tabloids started digging. Old flames stirred up noise. People said she was after his money, his name, his fame. She didn't flinch. She didn't speak. She just stayed grounded-for her son, for herself. And that's when he knew: He'd had everything. But she was the only thing he ever truly wanted.

I felt his hand as it gently pushed the strands of hair that were blocking his view of my face, behind my shoulder. The action caused his fingers to involuntarily graze my jawline and neck making me stiffen. The short contact left my body feeling warm and my breathing to suddenly turn irregular. "I think you look beautiful." He said in that deep, soft voice that made me feel funny. I could still feel his fingers in my hair as they now seemed to instinctively move around the strands. "Thank you.." I whispered, surprised at how softly it came out. Could he even hear it? "My pleasure mamas." He replied, giving me my answer. The words leaving his lips sounded so good that I had to look to make sure he'd actually said them. Before I knew it my body was slowly leaning towards him and even in my dazed state I didn't miss his inching towards mine. • • • Follow Athena Kingman as she experiences life and love in ways that she's never imagined before.
