Kenneth closed his laptop. He was pleased with himself. When you triple your profits in one sale, how could the day be anything but good?

It had started a bit rough. He had no intention of staying at Shanda’s so long. The ‘after sex snuggle’ wasn’t his thing. Last night it was different. Everything was. He didn’t want to let go of her. Having her in his arms was a feeling like nothing else. But the separation today might have done him some good. It gave him the opportunity to clear his mind, and think straight. That was something he couldn’t seem to do with her close by.

And I might not have just made 1.5 million dollars.

This was the problem with being…personally involved. Sex was one thing: you had it and then you left. Most times, they didn’t speak again. It was just a mutual understanding ahead of time. He didn’t worry about anyone having hurt feelings. That wasn’t the fucking case with Shanda. The chemistry was explosive, and unmatched by anyone he’d ever been with. That alone made it difficult to ignore. But it wasn’t all about how she rocked his world. Kenneth really liked her as a person. If he was anyone other than a Heart, he could picture himself being with her. But his family would hurt her in a way that they didn’t mean to. The need and drive for money and success would eventually smother out the spark of simple happiness and joy that filled Shanda’s spirit. He couldn’t let that happen.

Kenneth really wanted to see Shanda tonight. She was the one he wanted to call and tell about the big deal he’d just closed. She was also the last person he should see. It hadn’t even been twenty-four hours and he was already…missing her. Damn it Shanda. How the fuck did you get under my skin? Because he wanted to see her, was the very reason there was no way in hell he was going to.

His phone rang and it was Jerry. He wasn’t sure he wanted to talk to him either, but he answered.

“Hi Jerry. What’s up?”

“You owe me,” he said.

He laughed. “For what this time?”

“The heads up. I just got off the phone with Mother. It seems you haven’t returned her calls.”

“I’ve been busy,” he stated. And avoiding them.

“And now you pay the price. She’s probably about five minutes away from your penthouse. I hope you’re alone. I’d hate for Shanda to meet Mother when she’s not happy with you.”

“You couldn’t have told her that I wasn’t here?” Even before Jerry could answer, he heard the buzzer. Fuck! “I thought you said five minutes?”

“Guess I was wrong,” he laughed. “Good luck, you’re going to need it.”

Kenneth ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket. His mother would’ve already been told by the doorman that he was home, so all he could do was let her inside.

Opening the door he said, “Hello Mother. What brings you here?”

She huffed and walked past him. “Are you alone?”

Thankfully, yes.
