When Jason and Darrelle make a bet involving Darrell's dating life, he thought it would be easy since women were usually his strong suit. What he didn't know is that he would end up with Nia Graham, a lawyer who became well known after defending a wrongly accused black man. Nia had been by herself for so long without a man, she had learned to live without one, her independent nature makes it difficult for Darrelle. Darrelle stays persistent knowing that the Preston deal would be his greatest deal yet, but when Darrelle finds himself falling for Nia will he end the bet? Sneak Peak "What about her?" Andre asked. "Who?" I asked he motioned to a group of women specifically the one sitting down, I couldnt really see her because of the dim lights and the group of friends she had around her. "No," "Why not?" Jason asked I took another sip before saying. "She is sitting with her friends," "And?" Andre asked. "Her friends are drunk," "And?" Jason asked confused. "She is the only one with a beer and look at how she continuously checks her phone every five second," "And?" "The beer isn't strong which means she is the designated driver her friends are drunk which means she has to leave soon, and the phone just shows that she would rather be anywhere but here, like she has much more important things to do. Which let's me know she probably won't give me the time of day because I'm not the most important thing in her life right now," "She is the one, she is the one you got to date"
Darrelle's POV
"And you think I don't know that,"
"I'm just saying man, she should've gotten another night," Jason replied jogging beside me.
"Well you ain't got to worry about that you're married," I replied.
"Yes but our job is to live through you," he fired back and I chuckled as we began to walk, grabbing my towel from the back pocket of my shorts wiping my face.
"I think you guys are forgetting that it's my dick, so I get the pleasure of deciding if I want to fuck Trina today and Stephanie tomorrow, "
"I know your mother raised you better," Jason said as we walked to the truck.
"I agree with the man," Andre said siding with me.
"Of course you would you're both hoes," Jason pointed out I laughed stopping at the truck.
"The usual," I said handing the man the money, he nodded walking deeper into the truck.
"Don't your dick hurt," Jason joked making me laugh, I grabbed our drinks handing them out as we walked to our usual seats.
"I think you are incapable of having a serious relationship," he said once we sat down.
"And you're right,"
"You're something else man,"
"I just think that relationships are a waste of time,"
"How can you know if you've never been in one,"
"I have,"
"High school and University don't count,"
"Alright so maybe it's been a while," I laughed he chuckled.
"I bet you can't date a girl for more than a month,"
"I can but I don't see what I would gain out of being with the same girl for a month," I said chuckling.
"You can't,"
"Wanna bet on that?" I asked leaning back in the chair.
"Alright, if you and your dick can be in a relationship with one woman, no side hoes just fucking, talking, dating doing everything with one woman; I will set you up with the Preston deal,"
"You serious?" I asked knowing that deal was worth more than every deal I made for the last two years and would probably give me the big break I needed as an architect.
"Yeah, I'm serious,"
"And what do you get out of this?" I asked curiously.
"I get to see my best friend happy an-"
"But your best friend is happy right now,"
"No he is okay he doesn't know what happiness is,"
"And being married is happiness,"
"Are we making the bet or not?" He asked.
"We are," I replied chuckling, I looked over to Andre who was shaking his head in disapproval.
"I raised you better,"
"You made him a hoe, " Jason said laughing.

I knocked on the door checking my watch knowing we were already late for the club opening tonight, the door opened to reveal my little sister Tiana. She has been married to my best friend Jason for six years now, I'm still adjusting to the idea of them being together.
"Hey," I greeted leaning forward kissing her cheek.
"Is he ready?" I asked referring to Jason.
"Yeah, he's supposed to be coming down," she replied looking behind her.
"Where are the kids?"
"At a sleepover, do you want to come in?"
"No need I'm here," I heard Jason say and Tiana turned around as he walked to the entrance.
"I'll be home by eleven," he said kissing her lips quickly, pulling away his settling eyes on her and she shot him a look making him smile.
"Fine then," he chuckled kissing her forehead.
"Tiana he needs his balls tonight," I told her, he pushed me softly leaning forward kissing her knowing that I hated the sight. I groaned walking away.
After a couple of minutes we arrived at the club, I handed my keys to the valet as we walked inside. We immediately saw Andre and walked over to him.
"You two are always fucking late," Andre pointed out sipping his champagne.
"I'm shocked that your fiance let you out alone," I replied laughing knowing he had been on a leash the last couple of days. I grabbed two glasses off a moving tray, handing one to Jason.
"She knew that Jason would be here,"
"What about me?"
"No she thinks you're slut," he said making Jason laugh.
"How do you guys live without your balls?"
"Fuck off man," Andre laughed along with Jason.
"So how is the bet going?" Andre asked smiling.
"Haven't started,"
"Well since you haven't started I want to add something to it," Andre said.
"What?" I asked curiously.
"Twenty days no sex," he replied.
"I'm not doing that shit,"
"I like it," Jason said laughing
"Just because you guys aren't getting none doesn't mean I should suffer,"
"He's not getting none because he is on probation but I'm gett-," Jason started but I cut him off not wanting the image in my head.
"Remember you're with my sister man," I said he chuckled finishing his drink.
"And I think what he is saying is a good idea,"
"Man, that-"
"You shouldn't have been talking all that shit,"
"Alright," I said thinking about the Preston deal.
"So who you gonna date for the month?" He asked.
"I don't know, "
"So why don't you date one of the girls you've already been with?" Andre asked.
"No if I'm waiting twenty days for sex it can't be the same girl," I said sipping my drink scanning the room.
"What about her?" Andre asked.
"Who?" I asked he motioned to a group of women specifically the one sitting down, I couldn't really see her because of the dim lights and the group of friends she had around her.
"No,"
"Why not?" Jason asked I took another sip before saying.
"She is sitting with her friends,"
"And?" Andre asked.
"Her friends are drunk,"
"And?" Jason asked confused.
"She is the only one with a beer and look at how she continuously checks her phone every five seconds,"
"And?"
"The beer isn't strong which means she is the designated driver her friends are drunk which means she has to leave soon, and the phone just shows that she would rather be anywhere but here like she has much more important things to do. Which lets me know she probably won't give me the time of day because I'm not the most important thing in her life right now,"
"She is the one, she is the one you got to date," Jason said chuckling I watched as she got up leaving the crowd, I thought about it for a split second before saying.
"Alright, I see you're trying to make this as hard as you can for me"
"You're going over there," Jason said I finished my drink before walking away.
"Darrelle," I heard a voice say I turned around to be greeted by Alicia.
"Hey what's up?" I asked glancing at where I was supposed to be going before turning back to her as she placed her hand on my chest.
"I'm good," She replied biting her lip.
"I'm kinda busy right now but I'll call you when I can," I told her she leaned forward kissing me softly before walking away I chuckled turning around I scanned the room for a couple of seconds before spotting her, she walked over to the bar and I quickly made my way there.
"Another round Paul and a water, room temperature," she said he smiled nodding before walking off. She was in a knee-length black dress that complemented her dark skin beautifully almost as much as it did her curves.
"This isn't your scene is it?" I asked moving to stand beside her. She looked up scanning me before asking.
"Why do you say that?" She looked familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on where I've seen her before.
You probably already slept with her
My conscience said and I pushed it off.
"You just ordered water from a bar,"
"How do even know it's for me?"
"Lucky guess" I replied and she laughed looking over to the bartender before turning back to me.
"So you were watching me?"
"Watching is such a bad way to word it, let's say supervising,"
"Young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes," she said softly.
"Shakespeare," I said she looked back to her group of friends before turning to me looking slightly uninterested. It was quite odd hearing a woman at a bar quote Shakespeare in the middle of a conversation.
"She has been watching you," she said
"Who?" I asked confused looking over to her friends wondering if I slept with one of them as the bartender placed her order on the counter.
"The girl you stopped to talk to before you came over here," I looked behind me, my eyes immediately locking with Alicia's before turning back to her.
"You weren't the only one supervising," she said picking up the tray walking off I chuckled watching her, intrigued and slightly turned on. I smiled knowing this was going to be a challenge. I felt a hand on my back, I turned to see Jason with an amused look on his face.
"That's Nia Graham," he said and everything clicked into place.
"She is the one," he added as Andre began ordering for us.
"Of course you would say that," I said glancing over to her, knowing this was definitely not going to be easy.

"It's you" She announced softly "So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly. "You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind. "And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words. "What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly "That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory. "I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"
"How would that even work?" She asked looking at him. "I belong to you both and you both belong me," Jason replied his eyes not being able to leave hers, I smiled knowing the feeling. "Like a three way relationship?" She asked and he nodded. "But wouldn't that bring about jealously?" She asked and he shook his head, she bit her lip before kissing him, a moan leaving her and he pulled her closer. The scene turning me on, my nipples hardening under my clothes begging for attention. It was amazing the confidence and dominance she obtained whenever she was aroused, she became a completely different person. He groaned and I squeezed my thighs together, the sound having a greater effect than it should. "Are you feeling jealous?" She asked pulling away to look at me. "No,"
"The way you behave...behave around me, with me it's highly inappropriate. I don't want you think I'll be your little assistant that you fuck on top of your desk or in the break room, if that's your intention I think it's best if you fire me or atleast send me back to work for Mr Caine," I told him after a couple seconds of silence I turned to face him to be greeted with a hard look on his face. "Amelia....I'm sorry if you thought that was my intention, I can see where you would get that idea.. and I apologize for my lack of communication, in what I want," "So what do you want?" I asked my voice sounding strange I cleared my throat, he reached forward taking my ice-cream placing it on the bench his hand moving to my chin making sure I held eye contact. "You..I want you Amelia," he answered his voice soft but held a level of firmness. I sat there looking at him, his eyes filled with emotions and unspoken words that had me melting under his gaze. "What do you mean y-" "Please don't make me repeat myself, I find it quite annoying," he replied his other hand moving from my knee to thigh the grip firm. "Well you're my boss telling me that you...want me, I think I'm going to need some clarification Xavier," I said frustrated and he swallowed hard, his Adams apple moving and I wish I could know what he was thinking. Before another thought can pass through my mind, his lips are on mine Shakespeare The course of true love never did run smooth

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself.
