"That's your fucking problem right there, Kai." "You want me to keep chasing you and I'm not doing that shit no more." He spat, looking into my eyes as I looked back into his. "You want to leave without letting me explain, then go ahead and leave, Kai." "I'm not stopping you." "But if you want this shit, Kai.." "Then come get it." He spoke sternly, unbuttoning his button down shirt as I stood there in shock, turning around completely to look up at him. Taking his shirt off, I watched as he stripped himself down as his muscular, tall, fit figure appeared and I can't say this man wasn't drop dead fine. Though I was so mad at him in this moment, my mouth dropped, looking at how good he looked. "I'm done chasing your ass, bruh." "You want me, come get me."

Disclaimer ⚠️ * There are certain parts of this story that are going to be rated 18+ only. I'm very sexual myself & wanted to make sure my readers felt that in my characters when reading this story. The mature content will have a warning in the beginning of the chapter, this is EXTREMELY explicit content.* ⚠️ * There is also violence/crime in this book. If that triggers or makes you uncomfortable please don't read it, there are entirely too many chapters where that is mentioned or emphasized on. It's a piece of my work. * Cover by @emmel_concepts 📸 Rankings & Progress • #1 #BlackRomance ~ 6/20/21 • #1 #LoveScene ~ 7/2/21 • #1 #Romance ~ 5/19/22 • #1 #Melanin ~ 4/9/23 • Began publishing on 5/30/21 I own all copyrights to my writing.
