Jaheim
The three of us arrive back at the apartment.
This whole teleporting shit is messing with my head. Is there anything this girl can’t do?
Ariella stands awkwardly beside the couch. I feel like she thinks I don’t like her, even though I told her that wasn’t the case. I don’t hate her, and even if I had, after what she’s done for me today, I would’ve changed my mind.
Carisse made her out to be a completely different person to what I’ve seen, but all today’s done is confirm to me that my sister is an exaggerated liar.
“Thank you, Ariella. I really appreciate everything you’ve shown me today, and done.”
“You’re welcome.” She still looks anxious. “Let Harmony know when you're ready to speak to Davonyé.”
I stop myself from frowning. She’s worrying about that? “Alright.”
She quickly looks away from me to hug her cousin, and they look like they exchange words before Ariella disappears.
I sit on the couch to take a minute. If I wasn't what I was, I'd be freaked the fuck out that someone can come and go like that. But the crazy aside, today has been another life-changing day.
My sister is just like my dad, and my grandmother just like my mom. It was like I was with my parents while I was with them. I might’ve found out for certain that my parents are gone, but they're not entirely. They’re still here, in them.
GiGi lost her mate years ago, and Mimi hasn’t found hers yet, but both are happy, which makes me happy. I still can’t believe they were waiting there twenty years, with no guarantees I’d even make it there. I shudder to think how long they would’ve waited for me.
Harmony sits beside me. “You okay, Boo?”
“Yeah.” Her eyes are cautious, but I smile. “I'm really good.” Seeing how much my family love what they are has only cemented what Harmony's been making me feel over this past week.
Maybe this life isn't so bad...
“Good.” She raises my hand to kiss it. “I'm sorry about your parents, but I'm so happy for you, too, Jaheim.”
“Thank you.”
Her gaze flickers to my lips. “No thanks needed. Did you want me to cook you something? Did you eat?”
“I ate at the hold. What did you get up to today?”
“Gushing over baby Amarey – Ella’s baby brother. I found out Mom’s pregnant, too.”
“Your Mom?”
She smiles. “Yeah. You’ll be able to smell it on her when you eventually meet her. Female wares smell different when they’re pregnant. Sweeter.”
“How far is she?”
“A few days.”
What? “Days?”
She laughs. “I forgot we haven’t had this conversation. Yeah. A female ware’s pregnancy is only three months. They start to smell different after a few days and they start craving milk. It’s not too much longer after that that you can hear the heartbeat.”
“Shit… that is fucked up.”
Her eyes light up. “Wanna know what’s more fucked up?”
“What?”
“For a ware to get pregnant, they have to have sex as a ware.”
“You’re shitting me?”
She laughs again and shakes her head. “Nope, I’m dead serious. It’s the best sex apparently, too. No ware hides how good it is.”
“So if you can’t catch nothing and can’t get pregnant, why do you use rubbers?”
“Cuz I have self-respect and niggas had to earn my shit.”
I should be shocked, but I’m more amused because she’s so damn blunt. I pull her sideways onto my lap. “So what I gotta do to earn the right to get inside Princess skin to skin?”
She gives me a look. “Well firstly, you ain’t just any nigga, and secondly… I ain’t decided yet.”
“Oh, I see…”
She laughs again, and she’s beautiful for it. “Calm down,” she whispers before resting a kiss on my lips. “When you’re ready to give me that dick, you won’t be nuttin’ into no rubber, Boo.”
“Princess…” Jesus, the thought alone makes me rock fucking hard. I lean her back in my arms so I can bury my head in the curve of her neck. I’m even more turned on from inhaling her scent, but I also feel at peace from it. How can one person make you feel so damn good, all the time? I'm seriously struggling to keep my feelings to myself around her.
I told my sister and grandma all about her. They were surprised by who she is and her relation to Abriya and Clarence, and then they proceeded to fill me in on everything they knew about her family, telling me how amazing they all are.
And knowing how incredible Harmony is and meeting Clarence, I had no trouble believing them. But as much as they talked up the James’, that didn't matter to me. I don't care who Harmony’s related to.
I only care about her.
Her arms wrap around me and I listen to her heartbeat slow as she relaxes in my arms and snuggles her head against my chest. “I really love that you’re always so warm.”
“I love you.”
She stills, for the slightest of moments, but then she looks up at me, her eyes searching mine. “I love you, too, Jaheim.”
Fuck. All air just left my lungs when she said those words to me.
I sweep the few wisps of hair away from her face before capturing her lips with mine. These lips just confessed her love for me. I hold her closer and know right here and now that my entire life’s happiness depends on this woman, but the thought doesn’t even worry me, not one fucking bit.
She weaves her fingers into my hair, pulling me closer as she parts her lips, luring me into her warmth. She tastes like powdered donuts and hot chocolate, as well as her natural taste, and it’s a combination I've grown accustomed to over this past week now.
I slip my hand beneath her sweater and caress the soft flesh of her hip, relishing her curves that are returning in all their glory. There are no signs of her hip bones anymore, only soft, silky, delicate skin.
She moans and lets me go, but I release her only enough to find her sheathed breasts inside her lace bra. She said she was between sizes when I took her shopping after her exams yesterday and didn't want me to buy her any lingerie, but I couldn't help it. The rose set I saw as we passed Lilianne Lingerie, I knew would look even better on her.
And now she’s wearing it.
She watches me as I release a breast from its cup to twist her nipple how I know she likes it. “When does school finish?”
She blinks. “Wednesday. Why?”
“Come to New York with me.”
“New York?”
“Yeah. I need to go next week. I could rearrange a few things so we can leave Wednesday night? I don't wanna go without you.”
She nods. “I'll go.”
Relief rushes through me and I mutter a ‘good’, then I quickly rest her beneath me so I can rip the sweater from her body.
“I liked that,” she complains.
I tear the jeans off her, too. “I'll get you new ones...”

“How you feeling, Baby?”
I shrug as I walk to the front door with Harmony behind me. “Alright.”
After meeting Clarence and Ariella yesterday, my apprehension over meeting Harmony's parents today is at a low. They text her this morning, inviting us over. Harmony was nervous to ask me, I could tell, but she needn’t have worried. If this whole mate thing is as solid as everyone’s made out it is, I don’t need to worry about nothing.
“Good, cuz you don't need to worry, Boo. They're gonna fucking love you, just like I do.”
I corner her by the front door and look down at her as she looks up at me through her lashes. “What you say?”
She smiles. “I said, they'll love you, just like I fucking do.”
I hear her heart racing, smell her arousal seeping from her pores. Even her pupils have dilated and lightened to an almost reddish brown. My heightened senses is something I’ve never hated, and now I’m with Harmony, I’m grateful as hell for them.
“No woman has ever told me they love me before. I like it.”
Her whole face lights up. “Yeah?”
I nod. “Yeah...” I kiss her and slip my hand down her yoga pants, into her lace panties. “Jesus, Princess, you're soaked already...” I growl and pull her bottom lip between my teeth. “…I love how responsive you are to me…” I circle her clit and she releases one of her whimpers that drives me wild. “…I love how much I turn you on, how much you turn me on.”
I love it so damn much, and for the first time, I think about how much more intense everything will be between us once she’s changed.
“Harder,” she breathes. “…rub me harder… Oh, God, Boo… Fuck, just fuck me, please…”
Holy shit, she’s back to begging for my dick again, but as much as I’m desperate to, I can’t, especially now a full moon’s coming. I can feel it. “I want to. I want to so bad, Beautiful. But I can’t.”
I fist her hair and pull down to gain access to her neck so I can bite her gently while stroking her with more purpose. Her body shudders as she releases a moan and then she grabs my jacket so hard she catches my arm. I feel her strength, and again I’m reminded that she’s not as weak as the women I’m used to.
I suck hard on her collar bone before releasing it, leaving a mark behind. “You want me to lick you all clean instead, Baby? You want me to slurp all this sweet essence up and make you explode in my mouth?”
“Lawd,” she breathes.
“I'll take that as a yes.”
I get to my knees, pulling her yoga pants and panties down with me so they're around her calves. I nestle my head between her thighs and run my tongue through the length of her crease, almost cumming just from how good she smells and tastes.
She’s enough to drive any man insane, but she’s mine. All fuckin mine.
She grabs my hair and pulls hard. “Fuck yeah, Boo. Be rough with me. So fucking rough,” she moans.
I grab her ass and pull her closer, licking, sucking, and then biting her smooth lips, before she asks me to. I devour every drop of her essence like a man starved because that’s what the fuck she does to me. All the damn time.
But although I wanna spend the next hour letting her fuck my face, I need to make this quick. Not only because I don't wanna set a bad impression by being late to meet her parents, but because I'm desperate to get her off. I know I'll need to be careful with her over the next few days until the full moon passes, but I'm hoping afterwards, I'll be ready to get inside her.
Cuz I need to.
“Fuck, Baby,” she whines. “Fuck, yes… you eat my pussy so good.” She winds her hips to grind herself against my face, the sounds of her cream making my dick even harder.
I look up at her as I pump two fingers in and out of her while using my thumb to rub her towards her end. Her eyes are closed and her chest is heaving with each sexy whimper that falls from her lips.
“You are so sexy, Princess. So fucking sexy. You make me so hard, so crazy. Do you know how much I love making you cum? How many hours in the day I think about your honey on my tongue?”
“Oh, God...”
“You're dripping wet…” I swirl my fingers around inside her. “…so, so wet... Imagine it’s my dick inside you… forcing you open… filling you up…” I rub my fingers harder against the walls of her pussy. “Tell me how much you wish I was inside this tight pussy right now.”
She gasps and rocks her hips against my fingers. “I wish you were. I wish you were fucking the shit out of me, hurting me...”
I close my eyes as her words sink in, feeling for her g-spot that I've become best friends with over this past week and sucking perfectly on her clit. She tightens, and coupled with the sound she makes, I know she’s there.
I slip my free arm up around her thighs to hold her while she cums. She trembles and I feel her legs clenching repeatedly as she rides out her release.
I will never ever get tired of hearing her fall apart because of me. I swear, all I love to do now is make her feel good. Any way I can. She is everything to me.
I make sure not a drop of her essence is wasted before I rise to my feet, pulling her yoga pants and panties up with me.
She still has her eyes closed and her breathing is slowly steadying. “You are...”
I don't let her finish. I just kiss her, so she knows exactly how fucking incredible she tastes before we leave.
