They also recently appeared onTIMEs Next Generation of Leadersin 2021, alongside actor Anthony Ramos and singer-songwriterRina Sawayama.
I know we just met or what ever.
Feyi had first seen him back on the rooftop, when the party was in full force around them.
Shed liked the way his eyes followed her as she walked, how tall he was, how broad.
Her best friend, Joy, had leaned in, linking her arm with Feyis.
Whew, check out those thighs!
Ima need him to turn around so I can see that ass.
Feyi had rolled her eyes.
So glad you dont have a dick, she said.
Youd be a fucking menace.
Id beparticularlyinterested in his ass if I had a dick, Joy replied.
I take that back.
Youre already a menace.
Feyi snuck another look at the thighs in question.
Besides, you’ve got the option to just use a strap, you know.
Nah, its not the same.
I wanna feel himsqueezearound me.
Milan glanced in their direction, catching Feyis eye and smiling at her from across the roof.
Youre hot, shed said, before he could even open his mouth.

He was a different kind of beautiful, and that was enough.
Joy was somewhere by the bar, surely restraining her glee at seeing Feyi make such a blatant move.
Im Milan, the stranger had said, his wide and delicious mouth curving into an amused smile.
Milan had glanced around the roof.
Wanna get out of here?
He was playing along perfectly, no hesitation, no coyness.
I came with my girl.
Hed nodded and looked back at her.
When he spoke again, his voice had dropped, low and rough.
Feyi had raised an eyebrow, hiding how his lust was like a match igniting hers.
Hewantedher, badly enough to ask only the important questions.
, he said, giving her space, not assuming.
It was so unnecessary.
Feyi did not need to think about this.
The strangerMilaninhaled sharply, the want in his eyes going aflame.
Youre fucking beautiful, he growled, still holding himself back.
Your skin, it just .
drinks up the light.
Feyi smiled and said nothing.
Feyi felt like a monster and a traitor, but it was fine, it had to happen.
It was precisely what she had come here for.
