Instantly, both Sade and I froze, and we didn't need to look behind to know it was Lola, Sade's mother, who had spoken.
Looking up at Sade's frozen expression, I gave her left breast one last hard suck, eliciting a gasp from her. Then, releasing her nipple, I tilted my upper body to the side and looked past her.
With her shirt off and bra gone, there was no hiding what was going on, and after sneaking a glance at Lola, I sat back up straight.
"It's your mom."
Slowly, Sade who had been frozen shifted her gaze and looked down at me, and she was not smiling.
"Sade, get up from there and go get your shirt."
I looked at the girl on my lap, waiting for her to do as her mother had said, but was surprised to see she was instead in a state of conflict.
"Sade, didn't you hear me?" Lola said a second time, her tone heightened, but this did nothing to change Sade's expression.
Smelling an escalation, a frown came to my face, but before I could let out a word, Sade spoke.
