Free Hold U Down by Keisha Ervin Page A

It was a gift. Just enjoy it.”
    â€œWell, thanks again. I can’t wait to wear it,” Unique said excitedly as jolts of electricity graced the sky. Out of nowhere, rain began pouring down.
    â€œOh, shit. It’s raining. We ain’t even got an umbrella. I know my hair is gonna mess up, plus I got on these heels,” Unique whined, looking down at her satin Prada kitten heels.
    â€œI got you.” Bigg stood up, taking her hand.
    â€œWhat are you going to do?”
    â€œJust slip off your shoes and put them in the bag. I’m gonna carry you back.”
    â€œAre you sure?”
    â€œWhat I just tell you? I got you.”
    Unique gazed into his light brown eyes and knew that she could trust him. She placed her shoes into the bag and quickly leaped into Bigg’s strong arms.
    With Unique securely in his embrace, Bigg ran the block back to the Inn. Unique hid her face in the crook of his neck the entire time. The smell of his cologne sent chills up her spine. He smelled so good. Bigg was wearing Jean Paul Gaultier, which was one of Unique’s favorites.
    Then, suddenly, Unique had the insatiable temptation to kiss Bigg’s neck. The combination of raindrops falling upon her skin and the feel of his arms wrapped around her body took Unique to a place of complete tranquility. She wanted to be with Bigg in every way imaginable. Without any warning, she began licking and sucking on his neck as he carried her in his arms.
    Bigg didn’t know what to do. He hadn’t expected for Unique to go there with him. Loving the feel of her tongue against his skin, he slowed his pace. Bigg didn’t want the moment to end.
    By the time they made it back to the suite, they both were hot, horny, and wet. Not wanting to, but knowing he should, Bigg put Unique down. Looking into each other’s eyes they wondered what was next.
    He watched as she stood before him, shivering wet with anticipation. Not able to control his feelings any longer, Bigg grabbed the back of Unique’s neck and pulled her close. Fuck all the bullshit , he thought. The sky shone with colors of orange and pink hues as Bigg hungrily kissed her lips. Returning the feeling, Unique kissed him back with as much intensity.
    At that moment, Bigg didn’t want anything but Unique. He had to have her. Her skin felt like silk as he ran his hands up her shirt and caressed her back.
    Subconsciously, Unique’s lips released a moan. Realizing what was going on, she abruptly stopped their kissing session.
    â€œWhy you stop? What’s the problem?” he asked, confused.
    â€œI’m trippin’. We can’t do this,” Unique confirmed, pulling down her shirt.
    â€œCome on, ma. Stop with the games. You want a nigga as much as I want you.”
    â€œThanks for the purse, Bigg, but I can’t fuck wit’ you like that.”
    â€œWhat the fuck you mean you can’t fuck wit’ me like that?” he questioned, eyeing her erect nipples.
    â€œI came here to do a job. Nothing more, nothing less. You’re a cool guy and all, but me and you are on two different levels right now—”
    â€œYou know what? I’m about sick of you and your bullshit.” Bigg cut her off. “You too fuckin’ confused for me. You think you know everything and don’t know shit. But let me tell you something—these li’l games you playing gon’ get yo’ feelings hurt if you keep on fuckin’ with me. You know what? For the rest of the trip, don’t say shit to me.” He stormed off, leaving Unique standing alone.

    After their argument, Unique locked herself in the bathroom. It was the only way she could avoid Bigg. She ran herself a nice, hot bubble bath. With nothing but complete silence surrounding her, Unique closed her eyes and let the day’s events replay in her mind.
    She knew that she was wrong for treating Bigg the way she did. An apology was what was needed, but
