Tossing and turning, Cherish sighed loudly. The clock read 2:15 in the morning, and she couldn't sleep for anything, but was sure she had gotten a couple of hours of sleeping in to sleep off being drunk. She still felt tipsy, though. Guilt from how she acted hours ago was bothering her more than she'd admit. That's why she doesn't like to drink anymore. It turns her into another person. Either a very sexual person, an angry person, an impulsive person... the list goes on. She could be pretty chill and fun, but for the most part, she was one of the others.

"Ugh! Fuck this." She blew out a frustrated breath while pushing the duvet off her body.

Standing to her feet, she slid her feet in her slides before walking to the bathroom. Flicking the switch, the light illuminated the bathroom. She had to quickly adjust her eyesight. Walking over to the sink, she decided to brush her teeth again. Despite doing it before she fell asleep; she thought about what she was about to do.

Once she was done, she walked back out the bathroom and grabbed the hotel's complimentary robe and secured it around her naked body. She then dug into her bag, grabbed the key cards, her phone, and the condoms she had purchased hours ago. After what happened, then showering, she was out like a light which didn't leave room to apologize for the way she reacted or acted at the time, so now she was thinking the time was now.

Okay, I know I said I was going off the grid and usually don't reach out, but...

I'm about to fuck Assad.

TELL ME YOU'RE AWAKE.

YAZ! TALK ME OUT OF IT.

🤞🏽😘

Bitchhhhhhhh! Say what now? I had to fully wake up. How the hell you end up with Assad? And um, maybe you need to pump the brakes. You're emotional.

I'm in LA. I'll get into how when I come home.

I'm all cried out, so I'm good.

It won't change anything.

Can't be that depressed bitch forever.

Life goes on.

🤞🏽😘

You're serious?

Yep. About everything.

I went off on him and I feel bad.

We were vibing and I snapped.

He ate my 🐱 so good. I wanted to beat his ass because why would he do that?

I could still feel his tongue between my legs.

I think I'm still a little tipsy.

🤞🏽😘

The way you're sending all these texts, I could tell. You're grown, so do you, fav. Soul is going to fuck both y'all up. 😂😂😂

That's why I love you.

You support my hoe-nanigans.

Wait, I don't have hoe-nanigans.

I will for the next couple of days. 😏

Idk why I'm so horny, fav.

He about to have me like Priest who?

If the dick is anything like the head, then I'm sold.

🤞🏽😘

Girl, these back-to-back texts is sending me. 😭 You could've just sent a paragraph. I love you more, fav. Get that dique.

Despite what Cherish said in her text, she didn't want Yazmine to talk her out of it. For once, she just wanted to have some fun. She wanted to have some fun with Assad. Was she emotional the day before? Very much so for hours, but her mood had lifted a little when she ran into Assad, who was about to head out of town for some business. He invited her to LA with him once she mentioned she was taking a few days to herself.

She wouldn't spend days crying about any of it. It happened years ago, and crying wouldn't change any of it. Definitely something she would talk about during her next therapy session. Yazmine sent Cherish screenshots of what happened on Twitter, but she just didn't care. Not even of the picture Crystal dropped. So far, no blog has posted it, and she was thankful. If she had to pay each of them not to, then so be it. That negativity being attached to her name isn't something she likes. She was never in blogs negatively, and it wasn't about to start. That's just another thing she could add to the list of things happening. Drama wasn't in her life until she moved back.

After walking out of her hotel room, she walked to the elevator. She kept trying to talk herself out of going to Assad's room at almost three in the morning. She couldn't describe it, but her body was craving his touch again from when he ate her out hours ago. Stepping into the elevator, she held the key card to Assad's room up to the pad. She bit her bottom lip when the green light signaled she still had access to his presidential suite. They were staying at The Ritz-Carlton. Despite her going off on him, he told her she could stay with him, but she declined.

Even though she and Assad spent hours together, he really took her mind off what happened. It's like their vibe was always in sync when they are around each other. She hated to admit it, but she likes that it was. Her attraction to Assad was growing.

"Here goes nothing." She took a deep breath when she finally made it to his floor. Tapping the key card against the door, she was granted access. She turned the knob, then stepped off; took a couple of steps as the door closed behind her.

"What are you doing here, Cherish?" His deep voice caused her to slightly jump. She hadn't noticed he was seated on the couch. Her heart was racing because part of her was hoping he was asleep.

"You knew it was me?" Cherish nervously asked.

His deep chuckled sent a jolt to her pussy. She never thought Assad would have that type of effect on her body, but it was off the scale at the moment. She was a person who could literally go years; which she has before, without sex. So, she couldn't understand why she had been so horny. She clenched her thighs before clearing her throat. Suddenly, her mouth had gone dry, which had her wanting to turn around and get the hell out of there.

"Who else would have the key to my room? Anytime I'm out of town for business, I make sure my privacy is respected. I value it, so it's always accommodated for me. Now again, what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to apologize for how I came at you. You didn't know... you know what? No excuses. You did nothing wrong. I'm sorry. I guess I wasn't expecting to feel something for another man. It was just weird." She sighed.

Cherish wouldn't say she had feelings for Assad even though she knew what her heart was denying, but in that moment, actually, since they bumped into each other yesterday, that's exactly what it felt like. Like, suddenly, she was seeing him more differently. Now she sees how Yazmine is feeling. Only difference, Cherish was 100% sure that she wanted to be with Priest. She just couldn't deny she was feeling something for Assad as well. Ever since he helped her after her store was trashed on grand opening day, they had been spending time together as friends. She likes him. And that scares her. She didn't want to let Priest go, but would Assad actually be the one to help her move on from him?

Silence filled the air. Cherish could barely see aside from the lights that illuminated outside the hotel's window. She was starting to think it was a bad idea coming there. "Um. Okay. That's all I wanted, was to apologize. Sorry for coming here at this time." She turned to leave.

"Come here." The lust in his deep voice had her clenching her thighs again.

What the fuck is happening to me? No man aside from Priest had her body reacting like that. Not Von and definitely not her one-night stand.

She let the lights from outside guide her as best as it could. She didn't know why he was even sitting in the dark. The wetness settling between her thighs had her wanting to run out of his room. The closer she got, the scent of his Tom Ford that lingered had her inwardly moaning. She fell in love with Tom Ford cologne because that was all Assad wore.

Assad reached over and turned on the light. She shut her eyes to adjust them and when they opened, they locked with his. Assad only had on a pair of thin gray sleep pants. She knew he was free balling from how that thang sat on his leg. Even on soft, he was working with something. His chocolate chest on display had her eyes lingering.

Good motherfucking lord! She bit her lip.

I got to get out of here. She turned to leave.

"Gorgeous." The bass in his tone had her pussy pulsing.

Attraction aside, she couldn't say that before yesterday, Assad had this type of effect on her. She could blame being drunk and now being tipsy, but that would be a lie. There was something about Assad. Her wanting to be with Priest didn't mean there wasn't something between them, and they both knew it. Part of her felt like she was cheating on Priest. They aren't together. He's not fucking with her, so why should she care about how he would feel about any of this? She hated how he could invade her mind and make her question herself. She didn't want not to fight for him this time around or give up easily, but it was feeling like fighting for him is pointless.

Cherish turned back around and continued walking to Assad. "Slowly." He told her.

Smiling on the inside, she walked slowly and seductively towards him. His eyes took her in with every step she took. When she finally made it in front of him, his eyes peered up into hers. She saw so much lust and desire in his eyes. The man was finer than fine. The way his soulful eyes stared worshipfully at her made her heart melt from the intensity and stirred something in her stomach.

"Good girl." He bit his lip.

Oh my God! My juices about to start dripping if he do not stop. Cherish nipples were so hard, pussy so wet, and body was on fire.

"I could smell you." He smiled. "My favorite scent since I tasted you."

"The way you ate my pussy, I could tell." She spoke aloud, but thought she said it in her head.

"Is that right?" His infectious smile had her smiling.

"I said that out loud?" She chuckled. "It's the truth, though."

Assad took his time admiring the beautiful woman in front of him. He never thought they'd be in this position. She was honest with him about fighting for Priest, while he could appreciate an honest woman, to him, she just needed to meet a man who could make her forget the past she's holding on to for dear life. She's still young, so he refuses to believe she'd only have one love in her life.

"Indeed it is." He cuffed her ass while pulling her between his legs, her pussy; covered by her robe, was right in his face, but he never let his eyes leave hers. He knew what she wanted and was prepared to give it to her. Her natural scent was proof.

"Tell me something, sweetheart. You could've waited until morning to apologize, so what is it that you really want? Why did you really come here?" Pulling on the ties that held her robe closed against her body, it unraveled and revealed her naked frame. Cherish's slim thick body was perfection to him. The way her hips had a spread to them and the way her ass poked out perfectly, the way her breast sat nicely, and her pretty pussy had him wanting to do a lot of things.

Leaning forward, he kissed her stomach, then softly kissed her sex twice as his fingers slid between her soaked pussy lips. Never in his 33 years had he ever tasted a pussy that was so wet. Even now, his fingers were drenched with her juices. "Damn, it's like that? How the hell you're so wet already?" He kissed her pussy again. "She so fucking pretty."

"Mmmm." She moaned while holding his shoulders the moment he curved his fingers. "Assad..."

"Tell me, sweetheart. What is it you want?" He lifted his lust filled gaze back up to her eyes, immediately connecting with hers.

"Y-You. Oooh! I want you in this moment, Assad." Her pussy clenched his fingers, almost causing him to lose control. Removing his fingers before she could cum, he placed them in her mouth. Allowing her to taste the goodness that her pussy produced.

"You're a freak." Assad smiled as she licked his fingers clean.

A smirk played on Cherish's lips as she winked sexily. Pulling her onto his lap, she came out of her slides. His large, smooth hand cupped one of her breasts and the other pulled at her pebbled nipple. She didn't know why her breasts were so sensitive. His teeth grazed her nipple as she hissed. While it did hurt a little, it also felt good.

"Tell me what you want me to do to you, gorgeous?" He kissed her shoulder before trailing kisses up her neck. Assad wished he could explain that want and need he had for this one particular woman.

"To fuck me. Slow. Fast. Rough. Gently. You asked me if you could have me for the next couple of days while we're here." She bit her lip as he sucked on her neck. "M-My answer is yes."

"Yeah?" He smiled, causing her heart to flutter rapidly. "You're mine?"

"I'm yours... for the next 48 hours; I'm yours." She brushed her lips against his juicy ones. She regretted sleeping with Von. She regretted that one-night stand, but as of now? She held no regrets about what was about to happen.

"Good. Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to change that 48 hours." He pecked her lips before crashing his lips onto hers passionately. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she slid her tongue into his mouth as he groaned against her lips; tasting her natural juices along with mint from when she brushed her teeth.

"Wait..." She pulled away.

"Changing your mind already?" He looked at her.

"No." She ran her tongue along her bottom lip. Leaning backwards, without moving from his lap, she grabbed her robe and pulled out the condoms.

"You just knew you were getting some of this, huh?" He smirked.

"I was hoping." She kissed him again. Assad's lips were juicy, but soft as well. In this moment he was damn near intoxicating her.

Lifting her up, never breaking the kiss; Assad ripped the wrapped off the condom before rolling it onto his thick dick. He was already hard the moment he smelled her scent. He pulled back from the kiss before looking into her eyes. As much as she wanted to look away because that was a little too intimate, she couldn't. Her hand grabbed his dick before gasping.

"Assad." She breathed.

"Sweetheart." He licked his lips. The eye contact was something serious right now.

"Don't go falling in love with me after this." She told him. Despite her feelings, she didn't want to hurt him in any way down the line. She couldn't predict the future. All she could do was be honest about where they stood now. Not to sound cocky, but she knew how that thang between her legs had men acting out of character. Even her one-night stand, what she will always refer to him as, wanted to continue sleeping with her until she came up pregnant. It was always going to be a one and done with her, so when he used to reach out, she never answered.

Too late. Assad was thinking.

He was old enough to know when he was and wasn't in love. Nothing was confusing about it because he was a man who didn't do complicated until Cherish. Getting to know her the last couple of months was bringing about some deep feelings. In his mind, Cherish was the perfect woman for him. She always seemed so light around him, for a person who had been through a lot. She's always smiling and laughing. When they're together, even being friends, it feels like something that's meant to be and could be if she wasn't holding on to her past. For the next 48 hours, he was going to show her who the better man for her was.

Without responding, he lifted and slid into her awakening wetness. "Damn!" She moaned while he grunted simultaneously. The way her pussy choked him damn near had his busting prematurely.

"Fuck, sweetheart!" He grunted while spreading her ass cheeks and going deeper.

"Shiit... you feel so good, Assad. Don't stop." She moaned.

"I don't plan to." He grabbed a handful of her hair roughly, pulling her head back before sucking on her neck while sliding in and out of her with deep, rough, and precision strokes. Their skin slapping and her loud moans filled his suite.

"Oooh! Rightttttttt there!" She yelled out. Assad hands down had some of the best dick she's ever had. Coming in strong at number 2. She was almost positive after their 48 hours was up that she'd want some more.

His lips crashed into hers as he slowed down his strokes. Easing his dick further inside as she erotically moaned against his lips. "Right there?" His husky voice was so sexy.

Lord-Jesus. Cherish was on the brink of crying.

"Umm-hmm." She scratched his back, causing him to grunt loudly.

"Speak to me, sweetheart. Right there?" Assad nibbled on her earlobe.

"Yes... Assad... mmm. Right there." He wrapped her legs up high around his back and got to stroking. Standing up, his strokes didn't falter as he carried her over to the window. "I...I'm about to cummmmmm!"

Locking one of her hands with his above her head, his thrust came full speed and roughly as he sucked her nipple. He was dicking her down so good she couldn't think straight. Her toes curled as she came so hard, her body fell limped in his arms. Assad didn't care about getting his, but he wasn't finished with Cherish just yet.

"Good girl." He said into her ear, slowing down his thrusts that had her on the verge of cumming for the second time. "I'm not finished with you yet, sweetheart."

That sweetheart was like music to her ears that she hadn't gotten tired of hearing yet.

Sliding out of her, he let her down on her feet that felt like jello. Leading her over to the couch again, he grabbed a handful of her hair while slapping her on the ass hard. "Bend over."

Yes, daddy! Cherish licked her lips. She bent over and her arch was so perfect, Assad was thankful for the condom he was wearing. "Assa—FUUUUCK!" She moaned.

Just like that, he slid deep inside her, his hand wrapped around her throat as he went crazy. Cherish eyes rolled to the back of her head as she moaned. His merciless strokes had her seeing the galaxy. "You like that?"

"Oh my—Y-Yes!"

"Let me hear you say it, sweetheart." He grunted. It felt a lot like Assad was claiming her as his own with his dick moving in and out of her, reaching so far inside that she could practically taste him. She held no complaints.

"I L-Like the way you're fucking... me. Oooh shiit! I love... it. I'm... closeeeee!" His rough, wild movements were intoxicating. She cried out loudly as she felt his unmerciful touch when he reached around while rubbing her pearl in a circular motion.

"You feel so good, sweetheart. Shit! I can't get enough." His strokes were getting sloppy because he was on the verge of cumming. Removing his hand from around her throat, he grabbed her hair and slapped her on the ass again. He knew it had some jiggle to it from the day of her welcome home party, but feeling it was a different story. It was soft and the ripple effects from the jiggling had him closing his eyes to savor the moment.

"Ahhhhh! I'm cumming..."

"Me too, gorgeous." His thrusts hit her g-spot, and she squirted like crazy all on the side of the hotel's couch.

"ASSADDDDDDD! MMMMMM!"

"Fuck!!" Assad came hard. Cherish body slumped over the arm of the couch as Assad slightly fell on her. Not pressing all his body weight on her. "Damn. That was." Assad was speechless. There's no way he could leave her alone after this.
