“Hm…is this right?” I mutter to myself while I check the GPS. “Damn, this is right. I thought my apartment was nice.” I mumble aloud.
When I left the city and started heading for the hills I thought he had a given me the wrong address. I even called him to double check and he assured me it was right and to just follow my GPS. Now I’m staring at a stunning mansion with black stone exterior. I park next to his Jeep and notice his garage is full of cars. No wonder he seemed so unbothered by me possibly fucking up his car the other night. It looks like he could afford to buy several if he wanted to.
As I walk towards his door it occurs to me that I really don’t know much about Kyrell. I know the basics–he’s the same age as me, owns a dispensary, invested money into a nightclub, but did he acquire all this on his own? He’s never given me the arrogant rich boy vibes you typically get with men who think they’ve made it because they own a pair of exclusive sneakers and lease a foreign car. In fact, Kyrell has never flaunted his money.
I fluff up my curls one last time as I knock on the front door. When it opens, I’m greeted by a shirtless Kyrell. He has nothing on but a towel loosely slung around his hips and beads of water are trailing down his abs. He has a few tattoos scattered across his chest and legs.
I’ve never wanted to be water so bad in my life.
“Hey, c’mon in.” He says as his eyes drink me in. “I just need to get dressed.” He waits for me to stop ogling him and walk through the door. I step inside and look around. “Or we can hang out here. Either way, I need clothes.” He says as I follow him through his house.
Does he really need clothes? I lick my lips out of fear I’m drooling. “Uh… nice house. I didn’t realize you lived in the hills.”
“You never asked.” He says with a smirk. “I bought it a few months after I moved out here.”
“How? If you were only twenty-one at that time?”
“With money, as does everyone else.” He answers vaguely.
“Did you sell your soul?” I ask half joking, half serious.
He turns around to face me but doesn’t stop walking. “Damn near.” He says with a wink.
