Hitta's Tea Maker pt. 2
Edwina Fort - 2019
I nearly lost my bravery right then because I knew what he could do with those lips, but I was determined to play the game, so I took my time coming down to straddle his lap, moving my hips back and forward till I found the most comfortable position.The whole time he watched me through narrowed eyes, again reminding me of the lion that lazily watched his prey, giving them a false sense of comfort before they pounced. When I positioned my warmth just right over his hardness, I smiled."Now, let's see what we can do about that headache." I held up the little vial of oil, but he lifted his hand and nonchalantly swatted it out of mine, sending it skidding quietly across the carpeted floor.
"Do I look like the kind of mutha f**ka you can play games with?"
