Mercer (Berkeley Bred Book 4) by Grey Huffington
I’m not the n*gga you can creep with, Pretty.
Smitten, I was, the day I stepped into your space, uninvited and unable to give a simple fuck.
Aroused, I was, the second your lips parted and your words serenaded me. Without a doubt, I knew I would take the opportunity to part the lower pair and mark my territory with precision.
Disheartened, I was to learn that you had vowed to another n*gga what should’ve been mine from the beginning, whether I’d stumbled into your world yet or not. The fact that you settled without meeting me first left a bitter taste in my mouth, forcing my hand. My mission was easily established, and I refused to rest until you were beside me.
Whole, I became, the moment God answered those prayers I put in and blessed me beyond measure. From that day, my priority has been and will always be catering to your every desire because you deserve a love that doesn’t make you wonder, whimper, or worry. I’ve got that kind of love and I’m here to give it to you.
Vallei by Grey Huffington
An extension of Mercer.
