Savannah
Today is the day, and it’s going to be such a busy one. I roll over and look at the gorgeous man lying next to me. In just a few short days, he has turned my whole world upside down. I went from refusing to date and swearing off love, to actually considering a future with him. And that thought alone scares the shit out of me. But it’s also exciting.
I never had these butterflies with Gavin. Funny how I was so blind to it all until someone came along and showed me the other side of things. I used to think that Gavin hung the moon and stars. But in reality, he was just really good at pretending. Pretending I was the most important thing to him. What a joke.
So glad I found out the truth. Sure it hurt like hell. But really it was the wakeup call I needed to stop being so gullible. This all feels right with Lukah, but I’ll still leave a few of my walls up a little longer, just to be sure I’m not being used or lied to again.
Lukah starts to stretch, reaching out for me. I giggle as he pulls me close to where I lay my head on his shoulder and snuggle closer to him.
“Good morning, beautiful,” he whispers into my hair while placing a kiss on my head.
“Good morning, baby.”
“You’re nervous. I can feel it,” he points out the obvious.
I nod.
“Don’t be, babe. I’ve seen what you’re capable of. Your sketches, those gowns you made in high school, that wedding dress in your studio. You’ll be great, and these judges won’t know what’s hit them. I’ll be there rooting you on, even if in silence. Fia is gonna be there with you every step of the way too. Momma and Rhen are only a call or text away. You got this.”
I prop myself up a little, placing my chin on his chest. “You have to be a dream. There’s no way you’re real.”
He kisses my nose then slips his hand down my back, pulling me on top of him. He grinds his hips. “Does that feel real?”
I feel his hard cock between my legs. I sit up, placing my hands on his chest and fully straddle him. I slightly raise up and placing his cock at my wet entrance. As I slowly lower myself onto him, I moan.
“That’s definitely real. Mmm god, feels so good.” I finally sink fully on top of him and start to slowly roll my hips.
“Baby, you feel fuckin’ amazing wrapped around my cock,” he says before he grips my hips and starts to hammer into me.
I moan and scream his name. It doesn’t take long for him to take me over the edge.
“That’s right, my lil’ minx, cum all over my cock,” he growls as he continues to fuck me into oblivion.
Then as another orgasm builds in my core, I can feel he’s there with me, ready to fall. Within minutes we cum together, him growling my name as he shoots his hot seed into me, filling me.
I fall onto his chest panting. “Now, it’s a good morning.”
He chuckles. “I can agree with you there. It’s in my top three of the best ways to wake up.”
Rolling to his side, I ask, “Oh yeah, what are the other two?”
He replies, “As of lately, waking up next to you and waking up with you wrapped in my arms.”
I kiss his nose. “I agree! Come on, let’s get showered. Graduation’s in a couple hours. I want to grab some coffee and a muffin before I have to get to the school. Plus, I need to double check I have everything for tonight.”
“Babe, Fia can always come back and get it if you forget anything. Relax. Let’s definitely shower and brush our teeth so I can kiss you properly,” he replies as we climb out of my bed.
We shower and brush our teeth, making out a little. Damn, I love the way he kisses me. As we’re getting dressed, I hear the door open.
“Okay, you little slut, you better be dressed this time. I know lover boy is here. I heard you this morning,” Sofia yells while laughing.
I look up at him in complete embarrassment. “Fuck, she must’ve come in while we were still in bed,” I say quietly.
“Oh boy.” He laughs.
I have him zip my dress and yell out, “Um, what?” as I turn and walk out of my room and head for the kitchen.
“Yeah, so, I came down earlier to see if you needed any help getting ready for graduation. When I opened the door to the apartment, I heard some boom-boom and window shattering screams going on, so I turned around and left. Figured I’d let you enjoy his morning wood. Lord knows your ass needs a good dick-down.”
I cover my eyes in embarrassment, then I feel him walk up behind me, wrapping his arms around me.
Lukah acknowledges her. “Good morning, Fi. Coffee?” as though her revelation doesn’t bother him.
“Shit, I need a cigarette after what I heard. And from the embarrassment on Savy’s face, I know for sure what I heard was not a movie.” She chuckles. “Come on, I’m just teasing. I’m just glad you’re getting you some. You deserve happiness, love bug. And I promise I won’t tell anyone else.”
“Oh my god, Fia, who did you tell?” I yell.
She takes a step back. “Rhen. And possibly Momma.” Putting her hands in the air, she says, “No one is judging you. If anything, we’re glad you guys are getting along so well. Rhen isn’t even mad that Lukah here is fuckin’ his little sis. He likes Lukah, so he approves.”
“First of all, I don’t need anyone’s approval. Secondly, I know you aren’t judging me, it just freaks me out you heard us. I wasn’t going to tell you about us sleeping together until we figured out what we’re doing here. I’m still so confused and scared of what’s going on between him and I.”
I feel him staring at me as I turn towards him. “But whatever this is, I’m enjoying it. It all feels surreal, but it’s so nice to have someone who’s genuine in how he feels. So, yes, we were fucking when you came in. I woke up horny, so I took advantage of the fact there was a gorgeous man in my bed.” I wink at him and walk over to the fridge to grab a bottle of water.
“Wait a minute, bitch, are you telling me you took a page outta my book? Slept naked, in case the need hits ya?” Fia chuckles.
“I guess I am. But can you blame me?” I wink at Lukah.
“Ladies, you know I’m standing right here, right?” He laughs.
I kiss his cheek, “Yes, baby, we do! If you’re gonna be around you’ll have to get used to this!”
He continues to laugh. “Okay, sounds good to me. I’m gonna go finish getting dressed and let you ladies have some privacy.” He winks as he walks down the hall.
Fia watches him disappear. “Okay, bitch, spill. I know this morning wasn’t the first time, so quit holding back and give me some details damn it.”
I laugh. “You’re too much sometimes, you know that?”
She shakes her head smiling.
So I tell her how I pretty much raped him in his elevator Sunday night before he carried me to his bed and fucked me like I’d never been fucked before. Told her how that night we talked, snuggled, fucked, then snuggled and watched movies. I gushed about how he doesn’t pressure me, letting me initiate everything.
“Fi, this is nothing like I’ve ever experienced. I know we haven’t known each other for more than a couple of days, but I feel like I’ve always known him. And that alone scares the holy shit out of me. I’m so afraid that this is all some kind of beautiful dream I’ll wake up from and be broken all over again.”
Fia pulls me to the couch where we sit down cuddled up like she always does to me when she feels me getting anxious.
I continue. “He seems too good to be true. I know he isn’t perfect; he has some demons that he hasn’t shared yet. I’m afraid that he’ll break the pieces I’ve already healed. I really love how natural it all feels but am so worried of the unknown. Does that make sense?”
Fia strokes my hair. “It makes perfect sense. Our hearts don’t love based on time. They love based on our souls. Sometimes they can be fooled, but when the right one comes along our soul just knows.”
I snuggle closer to my sister and revel in the love she’s giving.
�
��It may take time for our heads to catch up but when it does, you’ll know. Relax, everything will fall into place when the time is right. Just enjoy the time you have now. When he’s ready, he’ll share his demons. He may just want to let you shed all of yours first. He’s so into you.”
“Is it that obvious?” I question.
She nods. “Yes and you know I can smell a bullshitter a mile away. I tried to tell you with Gavin. You were too blinded by puppy love to see it. But you seem to have a more open mind this time around, which is a good thing. But this one isn’t like Gavin. He’s shown nothing but his genuine interest in you. So, as you always say, take it one day at time.” She hugs me tight.
“I love you, Fi. Don’t ever forget that.” I hug her back.
“I love you too, love bug. No matter what, you’re stuck with me.”
“Ladies, as much as I love seeing sisters’ bond, Savy, you gotta finish getting ready. We have to leave for graduation in twenty minutes. I don’t want you to be late!” Lukah says as he approaches the couch.
I jump at the sound of his voice asking, “Shit, how long ya been there?”
He laughs. “Not long. Promise.”
I jump up from the couch and pull Fia up to her feet. “Yeah, I need to do my hair and makeup still. Sorry, sissy, gotta finish getting ready. I’ll see you there.” I hug and kiss her cheek before dashing down the hall.

LUKAH
“Of course, we’ll see you there. We’ll be the loudest section in the place.” Fia gets up to head to the door. But not before turning to me. “She’s falling, I need you to catch her. This is really fast and freaking her out more than she’s letting on. She’s still so fragile, please don’t let her shatter. I’m not sure she’d survive another break.” She kisses my cheek as she leaves, closing the door behind her.
While Savy finishes getting ready I clean up the kitchen thinking about what I heard. I wasn’t eavesdropping, just happened to hear her while coming down the hall. She deserves to know of my demons. I’ll share them with her, it’s only fair. She shared hers with me. But not today, Today is all about her. Maybe tonight after we’re all checked in and after the dinner/meeting. I don’t want to do anything to jeopardize this relationship.
Even if she hasn’t said it or put a label on it, it’s what this is. It’s a relationship between two broken people that fit perfectly together. We’re a couple. It’s an amazing feeling, but I won’t share her with any other man. She’s mine and mine alone. Now to just keep showing her how committed I am to her and this connection.
“Okay, I’m ready!” she says as she walks into the kitchen.
She’s absolutely stunning, with those beautiful mismatched eyes, that gorgeous long wavy hair, and that killer smile. She’s a drug I never want to give up.
“You look stunning. Makes me want to throw you on this counter and fuck the shit outta you, saying fuck graduation. But I know how hard you’ve worked for this, so I’ll tame the beast you created and behave myself.” I growl, pulling her into my arms. Before she can respond I slam my lips to hers, kissing her fiercely. “Let’s go. I don’t want you to be late.”
Grabbing her hand, we head for the door where she picks up her purse and shoes as we walk out. After she locks the door, we head to the elevator where she puts on her shoes as we ride down. I have a car waiting for us. With as anxious as she is today, she doesn’t need to drive. She won’t be needing her car over the next few weeks anyways.
“Lukah, thank you. Thank you for being patient, giving me the reins, and for making this last three days the best in a very long time,” she glows.
“Baby, you never have to thank me. It’s been my pleasure. I know things are about to get super crazy, but I’ll always be here to keep you grounded if you need it. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep that gorgeous smile on your face.” I lift her hand to my lips, placing a kiss on her knuckles.
She smiles and kisses my cheek. “You’re truly one of a kind.” She returns to gazing out the window.
Before we know it, we’re at the convention center where they’re holding graduation. I give her one last passionate kiss before exiting the car and letting her go off to join the rest of her graduating class. I go to find Momma, Rhen, and Fia joining them in search of our seats.
“How’s our girl?” Momma asks.
“She’s great, Momma. Nervous, but she’ll be good.”
Rhen shakes my hand and Fia winks at me as we take our seats.
“Don’t mind the lil nymph over here. She’s just happy sis is finally smiling again, all thanks to you,” Rhen whispers.
I nod. “I’m happier because of her too.”
We sit back as the ceremony begins. Two and a half hours later, all the graduates have been given their diplomas and the Dean has announced the graduating class. We clap and holler for Savy. She comes running toward us after we exit our seats and jumps into her momma’s arms. Taking turns, we each hug her along with taking pictures with her and her degree.
We make our way out and to the car, agreeing to meet everyone at Adrienne’s for lunch.
Just as we get to the car, I hear, “Savannah, wait.”
She stops and a look of horror crosses her face as she slowly turns around.
“Gavin? What the fuck are you doing here?” All color leaves her complexion.
“You look great. Congratulations.”
Suddenly, her eyes narrow and she stiffens. “Drop the nice act. What the fuck do you want?”
“Savy, I’m sorry. I was wrong. I should’ve never cheated on you, I made a big mistake. Let me make it up to you. I know now it’s you I should be with.”
I step forward, grabbing her hand again. “Baby doll, everyone’s waiting for us at the restaurant. We should get going.”
She turns to me nodding, “Yes, let’s go. There’s nothing left here for me.”
Then before she gets into the car, she looks at him. “Gavin, go back to Sammy. I’m not going to be your second choice. I’ve moved on. Don’t bother contacting me ever again.”
“Sammy kicked me out. I caught her with one of her customers. She’s apparently been cheating for the last three months. She kept everything.”
Savy begins to laugh hysterically. “That’s the best news. Serves you right. Karma, asshole. Karma for what you did to me. Goodbye, Gavin.” With that she gets in the waiting car.
Closing her door, I move to walk around to my door, stopping in front of Gavin. “If you ever try to contact with her again, it’s me you’ll deal with. You’ve hurt her enough. Stay away.”
I get in the car and tell the driver where to go, asking that he take the long way around so I can enjoy a few more moments alone with her. No sooner do I raise the partition and sit back, Savy jumps into my lap, then she has my pants unbuckled and unzipped. She pulls out my cock, stroking it to harden it more, before sliding her panties to the side and rubbing the head in her slick folds.
“Fuck me, baby,” She begs in her sultry voice.
“Your wish is my command, my little minx.”
I grab her hips and slam my dick into her slick channel. It doesn’t take long to build the orgasm between us. Within no time we’re falling over the edge together.
Panting as we come down from our sexual high, she kisses my neck. “I can’t seem to get enough of you. I don’t know what came over me, but I needed you so bad.”
“It’s the same feeling for me. I’ll never deny you. But can we talk about what happened back there. Are you okay? I know seeing him couldn’t have been easy.”
“I’m better than okay. Karma returned the favor. They say what you put into the universe comes back to you, and he’s living proof. He got exactly what he deserved.”
No sooner than she crawls from atop of me, we’re approaching the restaurant. She adjusts her thong, tugs down her dress, and pulls out her mirror from her purse, fixing her makeup as I stuff my cock back into my pants, re-zipping just as we pull in front of the restaurant.

“Do I look like I just got fucked?” She asks.
I laugh. “Royally. But it’s a sexy look on you. Come on, everyone’s waiting.”
We head inside, hand in hand. As we walk in, the whole restaurant shouts congratulations while clapping for her. She turns five shades of red nodding thank you to everyone.
I whisper, “See, now they’ll never know. Your rosy cheeks can be blamed on the surprise!”
She giggles. God, the sound of her giggling is intoxicating. I’m not sure what I did to deserve her, but I’m going to do everything in my power to keep her and to keep that smile on her face.
Making our way to the table, she gives her family another round of hugs before turning to everyone else in the restaurant, saying, “Thank you everyone. I truly appreciate it.”
We sit and order drinks while everyone chatters away congratulating her and commenting on the ceremony.
“What took you guys so long to get here? I thought you were right behind us?” Momma inquires.
“Gavin showed up as we were getting into the car. He asked me to take him back. Said Sammy kicked him out after he found her cheating on him with one of her customers. I laughed at him and told him karma came around to collect. Funny how what goes around comes around.”
“That’s awesome. So, he saw you and Lukah together but still had the audacity to ask you to take him back? He actually thought you were still hung up on him? What a loser.” Fia comments.
I sit up, chuckling. “Yeah well, I just stood back and watched as he thought he was walking off with my girl. Savy handled it great, held her own.”
Savy turns red again in what I can only hope is pride and embarrassment over my statement. As the chit chat continues, I watch her and observe how she’s so at home with those she loves around her. She gushes over the love and support her family gives. I don’t know why she feels so undeserving, but I’ll change that.
After we finish lunch, I say my goodbyes to everyone. I need to go by my place to grab my things, then get to the hotel to welcome the contestants. Before I leave, I pull her into my arms.
