with.”
    â€œThere’s nothing to tell.” Charity walked past me toward her room.
    â€œWell, I’m out until the morning. Good night.”
    Tyler lived in an apartment complex not far from where I lived. I knocked and then turned the knob as instructed. I was greeted by the flickering of candles and rose petals. I followed the rose petals to the bedroom. There was Tyler, nude and lying across the king-sized bed. He looked like he could be the centerfold for a women’s magazine. My eyes scanned him from head to toe. I removed my clothes while walking toward the bed.
    He licked his big, juicy, brown lips. “I see you found me without any problems.”
    â€œYou gave good directions.” I reached behind my back to remove my bra.
    Tyler took his hand and stopped me. “Let me.”
    Tyler pulled my lips on top of his. His hands removed my bra while our lips ravished each other. He gently pushed me down on the bed. His soft lips on my neck sent a chill down my spine. His kisses traveled down my body. He was awakening parts of me I never knew existed.
    He gently tugged on my panties and pulled them off. He dipped his tongue into my cookie jar and made me scream out in pure ecstasy. He had my body singing its own songs. I was used to being in control, but Tyler was clearly in control of my body. A part of me tried to fight it. But, the more I fought it, the more intense the feeling got. Once I relinquished control, the floodgates of my desire filled his mouth and he lapped up every single drop.
    With a satisfying smile and glistening face, Tyler reached over to his nightstand and picked up a condom. I tore the paper off and slid it on to his stiff, long manhood. Our eyes locked and he entered me with the precision of a skilled marksman. His tool was a perfect fit. Most young men couldn’t go as long as Tyler. Tyler dipped in and out and ‘round and ‘round. He had me making all sorts of sounds. The bed rocked with the sway of our movements. Three condoms later, I laid on his chest in full bliss. A smile swept across my face as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep. For the first time ever, I was in love.

CHAPTER 15

    M y eyes were glued to the computer screen. It’d been two weeks since I had access to the company files. Thus far, I’d come across a few questionable transactions, but nothing that warranted me talking to my dad about. I would need to dig a little deeper.
    â€œKnock. Knock,” my mom said, outside of my office door before walking in.
    â€œHi, Mom,” I said, briefly looking up from the computer.
    She stood behind me. “How’s it going? Find anything yet?”
    â€œNot yet. But if it’s something there, I’ll find it.”
    She went and shut the door. She eased into the seat in front of my desk. “Your dad’s in with a customer, so we shouldn’t be interrupted.”
    â€œWhat’s on your mind?” I asked.
    She slid to the edge of her seat. “I’ve been doing some checking myself. I now know why you’re not too concerned about not getting a monthly allowance anymore.”
    I brushed the bottom of my chin. “I have nothing to hide. Everything I’ve done is legit. I told you I have clients.”
    â€œBaby boy, I wasn’t always the fine, refined woman you see now. I grew up on the streets. I know the game. There’s a thin line between what’s legal and what’s not, and you’ve been on that thin line for some time now from what I understand.”
    â€œYou said all of that to say?” I asked.
    â€œBoy, don’t be getting smart with me. I can still beat your ass.”
    â€œWhoa. Mom, it’s not that serious. What’s on your mind? Spill it.”
    â€œSince some of your buddies are already in the business of eliminating people when they feel like it, I want you to make sure these families know about our services. We’ll price match and offer
