CHAPTER SIX

Kismet

YACOUBA

SHE WAS IN my bed.

In my bed, in the fucking house I was supposed to be settling down in. The one I swore I was going to only allow the woman who would be my wife to sleep in.

And I liked the shit.

Jasmine had an ease about her when she wasn’t trying to be perfect that drew me in. ‘Cause that’s why her ass was so uptight. She was from Beacon Grove and had the whole family image to uphold shit going on with her. Hell, even when she was fronting she was the flame and I was the moth. Hovering closer and closer to the warmth she exuded uncaring of the way she was destroying little bits of my being.

But maybe the regeneration she provided in death wasn’t a bad thing.

I’d moved up in the food chain. It was inevitable given who I was. I wasn’t the type to want things handed to me, and my father ensured that I did things by the book. The organization we belonged to was deemed criminal by some and a godsend to others. I preferred to look at it as the latter and was proud of all that it stood for. My dad made me start from the ground and work my way up. Not because he didn’t believe in nepotism, but he didn’t believe in putting people in positions that didn’t have a clue what they were doing. That kind of shit in our line of work could and would get someone killed. It was one thing to be taught the ropes and another to experience them. Experience was the greatest teacher, and if I was blessed with a son, he’d get the same treatment.

If I’d wanted to be a banker or a doctor or some shit, he’d have funded it happily. As it was, he’d set aside a trust fund for me to be that dude and would’ve been just as proud. His ass was joyful that wasn’t the route I chose though.

After I’d fucked her near senseless in the kitchen, she’d returned the favor and blew my mind when she went to her knees and took me in her damn mouth. From her demeanor alone, I knew Jasmine wasn’t just out here sucking any ole dick that came across her path. She was choosy, bougie, and being one of the few who’d probably been allowed within those hallowed jaws had me feeling like I’d hit the lotto. I couldn’t let it end on that note though. Something had passed between us after we fucked. Something that we’d both been running away from since our eyes met in that ballroom. Hard to believe that was less than twelve hours ago. Shit had gotten deep between the two of us and I wondered if she felt the same pull that I did. She had to, otherwise; I doubted she’d be laying here beside me now with that freshly fucked look on her face.

I watched her shift as the sapphire blue, freshly laundered, silk sheets flowed over her skin.
