All Mye Queen's Men, Chronicles of Love - Volume I (99 page)

Seconds
later
Teddy
appeared
in
the
kitchen
doorway.
“
Is
everything
okay
back
here?
Do
you
need
some
help
Mye
Queen?
”

“
No,
but
thanks
for
asking,
I
got
it
under
control.
”

Teddy
could
tell
by
Queen
’
s
demeanor
that
she
was
bothered
by
his
relationship
with
Samyra.
“
Jade,
can
you
give
me
a
minute
alone
with
Queen.
”

Jade
crosses
her
arms
across
her
chest,
shifts
her
weight
to
one
hip
and
stares
at
him,
trying
to
gauge
his
motive
and
his
intent.
“
For
what?
”

“
None
of
your
damn
business,
nosy.
”
He
snarled.

Queen
nods
for
her
to
leave.
 

“
You
two
need
therapy,
Jesus,
and
the
Holy
Ghost,
that
’
s
all
I
have
to
say.
”
Jade
responds
as
she
reluctantly
leaves.

Queen
is
quiet
as
she
tosses
the
large
bowl
of
salad
she
was
preparing.

“
I
missed
you.
”
Teddy
’
s
deep
sultry
voice
admitted,
sending
ripples
up
Queen
’
s
spine.
“
Did
you
miss
me?
”

“
Of
course
I
did.
It
’
s
been
almost
three
weeks
since
the
last
time
I
saw
you.
”

“
You
know
what
I
’
m
talking
about.
Don
’
t
you?
”

“
Bear
…”

“
It
’
s
a
simple
question-
yes
or
no.
Answer
the
question
Mye
Queen.
”

Queen
hesitates,
there
really
was
no
point
in
lying.
The
truth
was
that
there
was
not
a
day
or
night
that
went
by
that
she
didn
’
t
crave
his
touch.
“
Yes.
”
She
simply
conceded
as
she
put
the
salad
in
the
refrigerator.

Teddy
moves
in
close
behind
her.
Close
enough
that
she
could
feel
his
dick
swell
beneath
the
fabric
of
his
jeans.
“
Then
we
need
to
talk,
somewhere
where
we
can
be
alone
for
awhile.
”

Queen
turns
to
face
him.
She
searches
his
eyes.
They
still
look
at
her
with
the
same
familiar
longing
that
they
’
ve
always
had
for
her.
“
What
about
Sam?
Who
is
she
to
you?
”

“
Sam
is
just
another
Red
Sonja
…
Nothing
more
and
nothing
less.
”

Queen
quickly
dodges
pass
him
and
Teddy
reaches
into
the
refrigerator
and
grabs
a
beer
just
as
Logic
enters
the
kitchen.
 

“
Hey,
grab
that
bottle
of
wine
Teddy,
while
you
’
re
in
there.
”
Logic
requests
as
he
grabs
wine
glasses
from
the
cabinet.
“
How
’
s
the
food
coming,
baby?
Do
you
need
me
to
do
anything?
”
he
asked
as
he
kisses
Queen
’
s
lips.

“
No,
I
’
m
good.
Everything
’
s
ready.
”

“
Okay,
well
let
me
put
the
wine
on
the
table
and
I
’
ll
be
right
back
to
help
you
serve.
”
He
replies
as
he
leaves
the
kitchen
with
the
wine
and
the
glasses
in
hand.

Teddy
’
s
eyes
never
leave
Queen.
He
takes
a
big
gulp
of
the
beer
and
swallows
hard.
“
So
what
’
s
it
going
to
be
Mye
Queen?
”

“
I
’
ll
call
you
next
week.
”

A
broad
sexy
grin
crossed
his
face.
“
We
’
ll
talk
more
then.
”

Knowing
she
was
as
wrong
as
a
hooker
turning
tricks
in
the
choir
loft
Queen
called
Teddy.
She
knew
what
was
up,
but
she
didn
’
t
care.
This
was
a
talk
that
they
desperately
needed
to
have
before
the
NFL
Draft.
If
Queen
could
not
hold
her
ground
and
keep
her
panties
out
of
his
mouth
then
she
knew
that
she
had
absolutely
no
chance
of
surviving
a
year
alone
with
him
in
Los
Angeles.
 

Queen
arrived
a
little
late.
Teddy
was
nervously
nursing
a
Corona
when
she
walked
into
the
crowded
bar
and
grill.
She
smiled
and
his
eyes
brighten
as
if
he
just
saw
the
sun
rise
for
the
very
first
time.
 

“
Mye
Queen,
I
was
beginning
to
think
that
you
weren
’
t
going
to
show
up.
”

“
Sorry,
I
’
m
running
a
little
late.
”
Queen
apologized
as
she
hugged
him.
The
scent
of
Teddy
’
s
cologne
was
intoxicating
and
haunted
her
as
she
sat
in
her
seat
across
from
him.

“
It
was
worth
the
wait.
You
look
beautiful.
”
He
sighed.

“
Thanks.
”
Queen
said
as
the
waitress
came
with
a
menu.

“
What
’
s
wrong,
you
seem
on
edge.
Is
everything
okay?
”
He
asked
concerned.

“
No,
not
really
…
Yeah.
Look
Bear,
I
can
’
t
do
this
with
you.
”

“
Do
what
Queen?
We
’
re
just
having
lunch.
”

“
I
can
’
t
…”

“
You
can
’
t
what?
”

“
I
can
’
t
stand
to
be
around
you.
I
fuckin
just
can
’
t!
”

“
Why?
What
are
you
talking
about?
”

“
Bear
my
body
aches
for
you
like
a
fucking
toothache.
It
doesn
’
t
even
matter
how
much
Logic
screws
me.
And
I
don
’
t
know
how
to
make
it
stop.
”

“
Then
don
’
t.
Let
me
make
it
stop.
”

“
I
can
’
t
keep
cheating
on
Logic
with
you.
”

“
Then
call
off
the
engagement.
”

“
What?
No!
And
then
what?
What
about
Sam?
”

“
Queen
I
told
you
what
was
up
with
Sam.
”

“
Dorian
told
Jade
that
you
two
have
been
dating
exclusively
for
the
past
month.
Are
you
falling
in
love
with
her?
”

“
First
of
all,
Dorian
needs
to
stay
out
of
my
damn
business.
It
’
s
not
like
that.
It
might
appear
that
way,
but
it
’
s
not.
Second,
I
told
you
that
I
was
in
love
with
you.
Nothings
changed.
 
And
you
have
to
know
that
I
want
you
just
as
bad
as
you
want
me.
”

“
But
Sam
said
that
she
’
s
probably
moving
with
you
once
…”

Teddy
quickly
interrupts.
“
I
don
’
t
give
a
damn
what
Sam
said.
She
’
s
not
moving
with
me
to
Los
Angeles.
”
Teddy
declared
as
he
cruised
the
menu.
“
I
can
’
t
stop
her
from
moving
to
L.A.
but
she
’
s
not
living
with
me.
Uh
hells
no!
”

“
So
you
’
re
going
to
Los
Angeles?
”

“
Yeah...
And
I
have
never
been
so
happy
to
be
number
two
in
my
entire
life.
”
He
laughed.

“
I
know
it
was
wrong
but
I
was
praying
that
Logic
was
selected
second.
”
Queen
confessed.

“
I
heard
that
you
’
ll
be
at
UCLA.
Tough
break
Pretty
Kitty.
”
Teddy
sarcastically
smirked.

“
This
shit
is
not
funny
Bear.
I
don
’
t
want
to
be
a
Red
Sonja
for
the
rest
of
my
life.
I
’
m
going
to
lose
him
if
I
go
to
Los
Angeles
with
you.
”
Queen
whined.

“
Seems
to
me
you
’
re
going
to
lose
him
either
way.
If
he
was
really
the
one
you
wouldn
’
t
want
me.
This
thing
between
us
is
not
going
to
be
resolved
until
it
runs
its
course.
Believe
me
I
know.
There
were
nights
that
I
thought
I
was
going
to
lose
my
damn
mind,
lying
there
listening
to
you
fuck
Paul.
So
you
don
’
t
have
to
tell
me
what
it
feels
like
to
want
something
you
can
’
t
have.
”
