Prologue

C heers to the man of the hour. I never would have thought that we would get to see the day where my best friend, my brother from another mother, ties the knot. I pray that she is everything you dreamed she would be. May God bless your marriage and may you all bring in many babies. Enjoy that ball and chain dawg! Kendric Jackson stated as he toasted to his best friend, Lake Johnson.

Boy, now we have to get you married off. One day we are going to find you the perfect woman, Lake stated.

Never that boss. I am free to go and come as I please. I don’t have no kids and no baby momma drama. I am good on that sir, but I am happy for you.

Thank you bruh. Tomorrow I take that big step, but tonight we are gonna get loose and have a good ass time. Time to get lit and turn the fuck up!

Kendric rented a party bus to take the groomsmen around the city of Atlanta to party for the night. The bus was filled with liquor, and Daniel, one of the other groomsmen, brought along some purp. They smoked and drank as they rode around the city, going from one bar and club to the next. The night ended at Magic City.

Here, I got singles for everybody, Kendric stated. He dumped out a duffle bag of bonded one-dollar bills.

Kendric had money to spare and he spared no expense when it came to the celebration of his best friend’s last night as a bachelor. Kendric was a bank broker and a realtor, and had done very well for himself. He and Lake grew up in the same projects when they were young and spent most of their free time on the court. Lake perfected his jump shot and landed himself a full-ride college scholarship to Georgia University and was a first-round pick for the Atlanta Hawks. They both had done well for themselves and beat the odds and statistics of the poor black man in the hood.

Lake met his soon-to-be wife, Jessica, when he was on the road. Jessica was a sports journalist and the couple hit it off from day one. Several of the players were his groomsmen. Lake and Jessica had everything that most people would want. Kendric didn’t want any part of being tied to another person. He enjoyed being free and only responsible for himself. It took only one woman to hurt him and change the way he looked at women.

Look at all this ass man. Are you sure you are ready to give all of this up? Kendric asked.

Yes. All the ass in the world will never amount to what I have with Jessica. She is the best thing that has happened to me. I don’t want or need anyone else.

I guess. Well pass the ass this way. I will enjoy enough for me and you.

Lake sat back and chilled as he watched his boys have a good time. They used the money that Kendric gave them to throw at the ladies. Kendric even brought a money gun and was shooting out dollar bills all around the club. Arnez, another one of the groomsmen, bought several bottles of Cristal. All in all, the guys had a night to remember. The next morning, they were all buzzed.

I ought to beat your black ass, Lake told Kendric as he sat on the side of his bed in the hotel room.

Shiiiidddd, I didn’t mean for all that to go down like that, but this shit was fun. You still have time to change your mind.

Pass me a Goody’s powder. I am getting down that aisle one way or another.

Your choice, my man. I will support you either way you go. I am headed back to my room to get dressed. I will see you in an hour or so, Kendric stated as he walked out the room.

Lake threw his hand up and swallowed the Goody’s powder. He walked over to the mini bar in the room and fumbled until he found a Sprite to wash the nasty taste from his mouth that the medicine had left behind. He hopped in the shower to attempt to wash away last night’s sinful activities.

Kendric left Lake’s room and headed back to his own. He wasn’t paying any attention as he scrolled through his cell phone while he walked down the hall.

Excuse me, he stated as he bumped into a lady walking in the opposite direction.

No problem. I am Meghan Pryer, she greeted, extending her hand.

I am Kendric Jackson. I am sorry I bumped into you. I was scrolling through my phone reading work emails instead of paying attention.

It’s okay. You must do something really important that you have to check your email while you are staying at a hotel. Are you here on business?

No. My best friend, Lake, is getting married and I am his best man, Kendric informed.

Oh, what a coincidence. I am here for my cousin Jessica’s wedding.

Well how about that. I guess I will see you in a few hours at the wedding.

I will be looking out for you, Meghan stated with a wink and a smile.

I will not be hard to miss. I will be standing next to the groom.

I am sure I will find you.

Kendric smiled. I gotta get cleaned up and dressed. See you later.

Meghan didn’t respond. She just stood in the same spot and watched Kendric walk the rest of the way to his room. She had barely made it to the wedding, no thanks to her ex-boyfriend, Malcom. Meghan and Malcom’s relationship had run its course because they both wanted something different. Meghan was ready to settle down, get married, and start a family. Malcom, on the other hand, was still out in the street slanging dope. They both ended up arrested that same Thursday night because they were fighting. The officers couldn’t determine which one started the fight and ended up taking them both in for booking.

That was the final straw for Meghan. She was willing to take Malcom back time after time, but now that she caught a charge behind him, it was her cue that it was time to leave for good. It must have been a sign from God that she met Kendric today. After Kendric was out of sight, Meghan walked to the room that she had checked into just a few minutes prior. She sat on the side of the bed and unzipped her luggage. She was in need of a good shower to cleanse herself because she had taken an Uber from the jail back home, grabbed her luggage, hopped in her car and headed to Atlanta for the wedding.

The wedding was perfect. Everything was in place and everyone was dressed in their best attire. Lake teared up as he watched his bride come down the aisle. He still had a slight hangover from the night before, but he stood there proudly eager to salute his bride.

Well, well, well, we meet again, Meghan stated to Kendric during the reception. She made her way from her designated seating place to the table where the groomsmen sat.

Hey there. You look nice.

Thank you. I tried to throw something together.

Well, you did a great job. Did you eat yet? Kendric asked.

No, not yet. I was waiting for the line to die down.

Come with me. We can bypass that line.

Kendric got up from where he was sitting, extended his hand to Meghan and walked her through the entrance where the bridal party was getting their food.

It is slightly different from what the guests are eating, but it is still good food, Kendric stated.

Are you sure it is okay? Meghan asked as she looked at the bridal party staring at her.

Yes, you are with me. You can have whatever you want, just tell them how to prepare it for you.

Meghan nodded her head and took and plate. You want to eat with me? Kendric asked.

Okay. Will the others get mad?

Probably not. We are done for today. They are now all mixing and mingling. I am just in the mood to chill out. I am still a little tired from last night.

Wild party last night, eh? Meghan asked.

If you weren’t there, you will never know what happened.

Top secret information?

Yep. No pictures, no videos, no snitches, no proof, Kendric stated.

I got’cha. It’s all good. So tell me about yourself. Do you have any kids?

Hell no! I do not want any kids. I love them, but do not want any of my own. How about you?

Wow. Okay then. No, I don’t have any either, but I would like to have one or two, Meghan advised.

More power to you sista.

Kendric and Meghan conversed for the rest of the night and even hit the dance floor a couple of times when their favorite songs came on. As the night came to a close, they were both thankful that the wedding was in the same hotel as the one they were staying in.

Well I know what you two are going to be doing tonight, Kendric commented to Lake and Jessica.

Hell yea. I’ma ‘bout to knock her ass up. At least three babies; maybe even more.

Boy you are crazy. Don’t pay him any mind. I’m sleepy, so he will be lucky if he gets me to toot up, Jessica rebutted.

Bullshit! You are my wife now and we have to constipate the marriage, Lake stated.

What? Jessica asked, confused.

Come again sir. Y’all have to do what nah? Kendric asked.

Constipate, consummate, whatever the hell it is. Y’all know I’m fucked up, hell.

They all laughed at Lake’s expense. I see you cuz. Kendric is a good catch. Maybe if you put some of that Pryer magic on him, we can convince him to settle down, Jessica said to Meghan.

We just cooling it cuz. You know I have to get back on the road back to Miami.

Well, maybe one day. Both of you need to settle down. Life is too short to be lonely.

Enough of all that mushy shit. Are you two going to make it to the room suite? Kendric asked.

Yea, we will make it, Lake stated.

Alrighty then. See y’all in the morning. I’ma see this lady to her room and I am going to call it a night.

Any mentioning of settling down made Kendric uneasy. The world was too big for him to settle for one woman for the rest of his life. He walked Meghan to her room and stopped at the door.

Do you want to come in and make sure everything is safe? she asked.

Yes, let me check things out. I don’t want to leave you with the boogie man or anyone like that.

Kendric took the room key from Meghan and unlocked the door. He walked in first and Meghan was close behind him. He looked all around.

The coast is clear.

He turned to walk out the door, but he was stopped by Meghan. She reached up and placed her lips on top of his. He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up. Meghan wrapped her legs around Kendric and rested her butt in the palm of his hands. The two continued to kiss as Kendric walked over to the bed. He unzipped her dress and laid her across the bed as he removed her dress and panties from her body. He buried his face in between her breasts and squeezed her nipples. Meghan unclasped her bra, releasing her breasts from their cage. They were aching to be touched. Kendric must have sensed her desires because he wrapped his mouth around her left and then right breast before squeezing them together and sucking on both nipples at the same time.

Kendric planted kisses along her body. Meghan arched her back as he reached her caramel center. He suckled and teased her clit while he moved his middle and forefinger in and out of her. Meghan let out a quiet moan and Kendric was turned on. She came quicker than he expected, but he wasn’t complaining. Kendric stepped out of his pants and removed his boxer briefs.

Meghan sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed, then down to her knees. She placed her mouth on his shaft and slurped up and down. She used her hands to twist and turn his wood as she wet it with her mouth. Kendric was feeling light-headed as the blood rushed from his top head down to his lower head. Meghan’s head game was strong, making Kendric weak in his knees and they began to buckle.

One sec, let me sit down.

Kendric sat on the edge of the bed and Meghan continued her sucking action. His eyes rolled to the back of his head. Within minutes, he exploded in her mouth. Meghan swallowed and climbed up on Kendric and placed him inside of her. She rode and slid back and forth on top of him.

Damn girl!

Meghan’s pussy was the perfect combination; tight, wet and warm. Meghan rode him like she was on top of a stallion. She had great endurance and her legs never gave out. Kendric decided to take control of things before exploding inside of her. He lifted her and laid her on the bed. He placed her legs on his shoulders and dug deep into her as far as he could go. He didn’t want it to end, but all the liquor in his system wasn’t working in his favor.

Damn!

It felt so good that Kendric almost missed his moment to pull out. He skeeted on the floor and rested in between Meghan’s legs. Both their hearts were beating excessively. Meghan slipped from under him and went to the bathroom. She peed and washed herself, then she wet and lathered another towel. When she returned to the room, Kendric was fast asleep. She wiped him up and cleaned up the spot on the floor, then she slipped in the bed next to him and covered them both up. The next morning, Meghan woke up alone. There was no note and Kendric was gone. She showered and dressed, checked out and headed back home.

T his is a newly remodeled, three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home. The walls have been freshly painted and there is new tile on the floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. The carpet in the living room has been removed and replaced with hardwood; however, the bedrooms are all carpeted. Would you like me to take you around? Or would you prefer to view the rooms with your wife? I asked my new client. I was showing them a third listing that I’d found for them. I was confident that this was the one.

We will look at it together.

Okay, I will sit right here at the island and wait for you all to come back and tell me what you think.

Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes walked away and toured the property. I sat on a bar stool at the island in the kitchen and pulled out my phone to scroll through my calendar. After this appointment today, I was free and was going to the gym. It had been about two weeks since I’d had time to work out. I had business meetings from the east to the west coast, on top of taking the Rhodes family and two other families around to find their forever home. I was excited about finding time for myself, but it would be even more exciting if the Rhodes said yes to this house.

I think we have a winner here, Mr. Jackson. My wife loves this place and says she can see herself here.

Well alright! I have the paperwork right here, so we can get the ball rolling.

Mrs. Rhodes never spoke, she would just stand to the side and smile. She was pregnant with their first kid, but I could tell she was unhappy. She was a young girl, and clearly was only marrying him because she was pregnant by him. I could see the hurt in her eyes even behind the smile. From our first meeting, Mr. Rhodes made it clear that I was only to speak to him. I was cool with that because he was the one with the money.

I think that office space and playroom was the winner. Now I can work from home and the baby will have a nice place to play. We will never have to go outside.

I hear that. I wish I could find me an at-home job too. This traveling the world sometimes wears me out.

You like to travel? Mr. Rhodes asked.

I do. I enjoy it, but sometimes I miss being at home.

Do you have a wife or any children?

Nah, I passed on that part of life. It is just me and my aquarium of fish and turtles. I visit with my mom and I have tons of nieces and nephews. In fact, one of my sisters is about to move in with me now and she has three children, I explained.

"Children are a wonderful thing. I
