Chapter Ten

"Mmm," Melanie moaned as she arched her back. The temptation was too much for her to handle. She hadn't had sex in two years, who could blame the woman? Biting down on her bottom lip, she placed her hand on the top of his head and egged him on. She wasn't returning any favors. This wasn't about passion. This was strictly her getting satisfaction. She deserved this. He'd been down there for over fifteen minutes, and finally she was erupting. She threw the pillow over her face and moaned loudly into it.

She could feel him cleaning her up before he trailed kisses back up her body. Mel removed the pillow from her face and their lips met. She pulled away and smiled to him, happy. "Ready to go?" She asked him. He knew the routine. They had been doing it for about two weeks now.

He would come over and play with his son, eat dinner, satisfy Melanie, and leave. There was no staying over. There was no true sex. He gave her head and that was that. Melanie was adamant about not going down that path again, but she couldn't lie and say that the sex wasn't good.

Jermaine hesitantly nodded his head. He was probably tired of being used, but he never opened his mouth to say anything about it. "I won't be over tomorrow," he said as he began putting on his jacket.

Mel sat up in her bed and frowned. She removed hair from her face and looked at him. "Why not?"

Jermaine shook his head. "It's personal, aight?"

Melanie wasn't buying it. "What's personal?"

"Melanie, if I tell you; you'll get mad. So can we just drop it? If I can swing by, I will. But just in case I can't, I'm telling you not to expect me."

"You get him calling you daddy and you think you run shit? What's happening tomorrow?"

"I'm meeting up with Ash. You happy?"

Melanie looked at him coldly. Ever since he'd gotten back in her good graces, there was never a mention of Ashley. It was funny how it worked. She was like most women who would forgive the man over the best friend. But the case was different, in her opinion. She had to forgive this man in order for him to be in her son's life. Ashley wasn't a factor.

"Fine," Melanie said throwing her hands up. She was done with caring about the whole situation. She was done tongue lashing about Ashley. Nothing changed, but Melanie didn't feel like arguing with him. She'd just received great head and she wanted to take a shower and go to sleep. Was that so wrong?

"Have you talked to your mother, by the way?"

"Boy, bye!" Melanie wasn't having that discussion with him. She removed the covers from her body and got out the bed. She wore nothing but a lace set. She didn't care, he had to go.

"I don't get a hug? A thank you? Don't be ungrateful, Melanie," he teased her.

Mel rolled her eyes. She wanted to laugh, but she also wanted to be a hard ass. "Awee, girl Melanie. Give me a hug, please? I'll call you tomorrow if I'm coming, aight?"

"You'll call Julian," Melanie corrected him.

They hugged one another and she went to sleep for the night.
