Sneak peak from book 2!

I parked my car in the driveway and waited. I wasn't sure how he wanted to do this since he hadn't texted back. Sometimes he came to my car and sometimes I went to the porch. On special occasions he asked me to step in for a minute, just so it didn't look like I was picking up weed. He usually texted me instructions and since he had the best weed in the Lou I complied. Whenever I bought weed from Geo it was all business. It never went farther, even though we flirted like crazy in front of his dad or my guys. Alone he was always calm cool and collected.

My phone dinged, snapping me out of my fantasies. He messaged to come to the back. That was different and I was immediately on high alert. I never went in through the back. From his driveway I could see the back yard. There was a playground and some lawn chairs back there. Their was also a dog that had been barking since I pulled up. Deciding to take the chance after reminding myself that this was Big D's son. There was no reason for me to worry. Still I slid both nine millimeters into my holsters and got out of the car.

Slowly walking to the back I saw that the yard was large and also had a pool and gazebo. Not exactly what you would expect from a bachelor, but I knew he had kids. The red steps led up to a porch and a large wooden door. I raised my hands to knock but the door swung open before i could land one blow.

Geo stepped put and my breath caught. He was sexy as sin. He wore sweat pants that rid low on his hips. No shirt or shoes. His tight tatted chest on full display. He had a brush in his hand and an ounce of exotic in the other. His brown eyes met min and he smirked as he surveyed my still for. When his eyes met mine again I was smiling as well. We had one of those moments, where we just look at each other and let our imaginations run wild.

It would be so easy to go into his home and take care of the ache that settled in the pit of my stomach, but he was D's son and I kind of had a habit of killing my lovers so I was on a break from men. At least until I was over Christian. Is that for me, "I asked?"

He smiled and held out the baggie. "You already know you can get whatever you want. You look a little tense Princess, you want a drink, or are you in a rush."

I grabbed the baggy and handed him cash. I turned and headed down the stairs. "I'm alway in a rush."

"Where you running off to," he said descending the steps as well.

"I'm headed to the studio." I replied, never stopping my stride or looking back.

"I hate to see you go," Geo whispered,"but I love to watch you walk away."

"Imagine the view if I were naked," I teased, finally arriving at my car.

Quietly he closed my car door and backed me against the car. Immediately I was assailed by his scent. It was attractive and alluring. He was all in my personal space and i didn't move an inch, as his hand snaked around my waist. Te other stayed next to my head, holding the door closed. "When you gonna stop playing with me baby. You know you want this."

Turning towards him, I came face to face with him. He was close, our lips would touch if I leaned just an inch forward. Leaning back I said, " You couldn't handle a woman like me, Geo.
