Single Husbands Page 23


  I was in an air-conditioned ranch house, with my own room, servicing my johns for eleven years. I had no shame in what I had to do. Survive. Recession. Depression. Didn’t matter. Pussy was always in demand. I made lots of money prostituting. I earned more money after I quit to become a madam. Experience served and paid me fifty grand… a night.

  Overseeing thirteen high-priced, drop-dead gorgeous escorts who earned us $10,000 an hour made me wealthy, and my boss, Valentino James, wealthier. I enjoyed my job. Most of the time. Until my top escort dropped dead after being shot in the head by my boss.

  Men. They thought they ruled the fucking world, when, in fact, all they did was fuck up their world and everybody in it. Truth be told, women are wiser than men. I supposed… until I fell in love with Grant.

  Illegally, I inherited $50 million from my ex-boss, and I unexpectedly experienced multiple heartaches caused by the man I loved. Perhaps I was better off by myself, but there was a part of me that wanted to get married. I wanted to love someone who loved me for me. Settle down. Have a few babies. Live a peaceful life. No matter how hard I tried, shit continued to happen.

  My boss wanted his millions back. Fuck that. I thought I wanted my man back. Forget that. Neither one of them owned me. Unconditionally, this was my life. The fact that I had a pussy between my legs didn’t mean I was less than a man. A man wasn’t shit without a woman. I learned that prostituting. I learned a lot more about men when I was a madam. They wanted free pussy, but they were willing to pay for good pussy. Sexy pussy. Tight pussy. Experienced pussy. Hell, bad pussy could make a dime if it was attached to the right mind.

  It was my prerogative to pamper my pussy any way I damn well pleased. Sometimes a woman had to be sweet. Sometimes she needed to be bittersweet. Then there were times a woman had to be a straight-up bitch. I’d mastered all three.

  If I had to suck a dick or shoot a man in his damn head, I wouldn’t hesitate. A woman unsure of herself would miss out on opportunity after opportunity, lying in her grave, wondering, What if?

  Curled in the fetal position, kidnapped, locked in the back of some motherfucker’s SUV, I had what my assailants didn’t know I possessed, but they would soon find out. I had my gun. They’d kidnapped the wrong bitch. The minute they opened the trunk, I opened fire.

  What the fuck? Not these two fools! I should’ve known.

  First, I fired at my ex-boss, Valentino, the one without the gun. He jumped in the wrong direction for him, right for me. One of the two bullets I fired at him hit his ass in the side. Then I shot Benito Bannister, my ex-man, the idiot with the gun. Valentino was stupid for letting Benito have the gun. Benito had never shot or killed anyone. They deserved to die. Both of them.

  “Fuck!” I underestimated that idiot Benito.

  We exchanged fire. Pow! I got his ass too. Right in his shoulder, although I aimed for his head, right between his eyes. Pow! My gun fell to the ground. I didn’t realize I’d been shot until blood soaked my red jacket. I couldn’t feel a thing.

  “Let’s go, nigga!” Valentino yelled, getting in the driver’s seat. “Lock that bitch in the fucking trunk! I’ma personally kill her ass execution-style!”

  Not if I kill you first, I thought.

  Benito reached for my legs. I kicked this stupid ass in his face. What smart attacker would lean face-first into his subject? My stiletto punctured his chin.

  “Nigga, let’s roll. The fucking cops are coming!” Valentino yelled.

  “Damn, Lace. You gon’ pay for that shit,” Benito said, gripping the trunk.

  I’d stopped answering to Lace when my sister died. I’d buried myself and assumed her name, Honey. Exhaling, I heard the sirens. For the first time, I was happy to hear police sirens. Jumping out of the trunk, I picked up my gun, then yelled, “Punk!” firing at the SUV, shattering the back window. I looked down at my shoes surrounded by a puddle of blood. My blood. I wanted to throw up but couldn’t. Frisking my body, I couldn’t feel where I’d been shot.

  “Drop the gun!” were the last words I’d heard before my body collapsed to the ground. I figured, if the police thought I was dead, they wouldn’t shoot me.

  My Pussy—My Prerogative

  by Mary B. Morrison

  My pussy

  My prerogative

  The last time I’d checked

  My pussy was attached to me

  Not some wannabe lover

  Claiming my pussy

  Was his pussy

  And reciting the same line

  To the other

  Pussy in his face

  After I cum

  He’s gone without a trace

  You see this pussy

  That’s between my legs

  Is attached to a head

  With brains

  That can drive a man insane

  My pussy

  My prerogative

  To give

  Or to keep

  To remain celibate

  To sell a bit

  Or to creep

  Or to freak

  To snap

  Or to wrap

  Around a man’s head

  In and out of bed

  Unconditionally

  My pussy is

  My prerogative

  Wanna taste

  Wanna slide into first base

  Second? Seconds?

  Third? Thirds?

  My pussy has the first and final words

  On whether your dick’s worthy

  Not

  If your dick is dirty

  Your pockets are dry

  You’re a selfish lover

  Your back hurts

  You cum before my pussy gets wet

  You leave right after your cum is dry

  Don’t ask me why

  I refuse to let you fuck me

  Just take your dick

  And let my pussy be

  Free to choose

  The right stroke

  The right man

  The right lover

  The right dick

  Unconditionally

  For as long as I live

  It’s my clit

  My pearl

  My pussy

  My world

  My prerogative

  Cum correct

  Or don’t cum at all
