Red Light Special (2008)
Red Light Special
“The rusted metal felt cold on the back of her thighs, and the persistent wind blew loose strands of her hair directly into the low O’s of smoke she eased from the center of her dry mouth.
She could hear the baby crying as her eyes burned. Yet she fought with all she had to keep them open, wondering why Kenyatta had lied yet again. The more he lied, the more unraveled she became.
And it wasn’t so much his fucking her that kept her going as it was his scent…his voice…his hands…his swagger…his ful...l lips that curled when he laughed. It was him. Just being in his presence turned her on. It didn’t matter that he said they needed space—whatever the fuck that was—or that things between them were pretty much over. What mattered is he kept coming around, calling her, fucking her, laughing with her, pacifying her, and agreeing that things would get better. He continued to be her shoulder to lean on. So as far as she was concerned, nothing had changed.
So where was he? And why wasn’t he answering his phone or returning any of her voice messages…or apologizing for making her feel like a whole new level of shit?MoreLess
