over Bam’s entire face as he began to run down his theory for her. “The reason is because I am going to get my own double-wide trailer in the country, and it would be the perfect place for you to concentrate on designing your jewelry. And we can take care of each other. We could have the best of both worlds with each other.”
    The teakettle started to sing. Isis got up to cut off the burner and make them both a cup of tea. Heading over to the stove, she glanced at the eviction notice and reality hit her. Where was she really going to go? No money. No job. Where? She wouldn’t be able to get another apartment. Who would rent to her? She had no job, no money, and a bad rental history. She didn’t want to go back to Aunt Samantha’s house, because her aunt would rub it in that she had told Isis that she wasn’t ready to move out on her own when she had. Then there was her sister, who was in Texas, and when she wasn’t, Phoebe lived with her crazy mother. Brenda hated Isis with a passion.
    Bam came up from behind and wrapped his arms around Isis. She wanted to resist, but it had been five years since she last had a man’s arms around her.
    He pressed her. “So, is it a deal?”
    “I don’t know. That’s a lot to think about.”
    “Is there any way that I can persuade you?”
    “No, I just need to clear my mind and think this through,” she told him.
    Bam started to kiss her neck and run his fingers down her shirt. Because it had been a while since she had had sex—five years, in fact—his first touch had her soaking wet.
    “Stop,” she moaned.
    Instead Bam stuck his hand in her pants and began caressing her clit. He didn’t stop until she reached that point of ecstasy. He then led her over to the sofa. Isis didn’t want it to go down like this—sex this soon after Dave’s death. She had to stop Bam, regardless of how good it felt, regardless of how much she wanted it to go on forever. She thought about what Samantha had taught her:
When someone knows that you need them, they are already in control, and this puts them in the position to take your neediness as a weakness.
    But Isis’s thoughts were clouded by lust, so she decided to dismiss her aunt’s advice. Bam laid her down on her back and removed her underwear, using his tongue to make her come over and over again. Dave had never pleased her like that. He never put his mouth down there. Once she had come, Bam got on top of her, putting his skinny, short dick where his tongue had been just seconds before. After four and a half strokes, he exploded.
    From that day forward, Isis knew there was no turning back.

What you have in your possession is blood money. A lot of blood was shed in order to obtain it. I sold my soul to the game when I started hustling, and a contract comes with that…. There are consequences and repercussions that come with it.

Chapter 5
    April Showers
    April showers cascaded from the overcast sky, giving the newly birthed leaves of the century-old trees their first baptism of the season. Caroline County was only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Richmond, but for Isis, a person who had spent her entire life in the city, it was a world away.
    Just a few days earlier, she had lost her job and had been facing eviction. Now she was starting a new life in the country with Bam. Isis still couldn’t believe how quickly things had transpired between the two of them. She was staring out the window, watching a family of squirrels hide from the spring rainfall, when her cell phone rang. “Damn,” she said to herself, upset about the interruption, before glancing around the small place she now called home, in search of her phone.
    She followed the ringing down the tiny hallway and into the bedroom. The bed was a mess. Actually, the entire room was a disaster; she and Bam hadn’t unpacked completely yet. The ringing was definitely coming from underneath the comforter. She felt around the tangled bedding but came
