“I can’t swing a transatlantic flight on Saturday, but…” Antonio grinned. “I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.”
Jackie raised a brow and shook her head.
“Don’t shake your head. If you don’t like what I’m coming with, I’d love to learn how to please you better. Show me, ma. I’m a fast learner.”
Jackie felt her face grow hot. She had to look away from the screen. When she looked back up Antonio was smirking, biting his full bottom lip.
“Alright, Jackie. I’ll see you Saturday. A driver will pick you up.”
Jackie let out a low whistle.A driver? Well excuse me, Mr. Steele.
“Like I said, baby, you deserve it.” Antonio winked, kissed his two fingers and tapped the phone. “Bye Lucky.”
When the call ended, Jackie clutched the phone to her chest. Antonio was really applying pressure, making up for lost time. She tried to stop the tingles, but they had spread throughout her entire body.
Honestly, if he did kidnap me, she thought,I wouldn’t even be mad.
CHAPTER 38
Antonio looked at his watch. It had been twenty minutes. He was standing outside of Jackie’s house, waiting for her to come out, and he was running out of patience. The small, private plane he’d chartered was waiting for them. If Jackie didn’t bring her ass out of there, they’d miss the flight.
Just when he was about to ring the doorbellagain, Jackie’s front door opened. She was carrying two big duffle bags and a purse.Jesus, she can’t pack light for shit. It was something he’d have to get used to.
The driver came around, opening the door and the trunk. He reached for Jackie’s bags, but Antonio stepped in.
Jackie typed a long apology on her phone as Antonio tossed her bags in the back of the SUV. “I was trying to find this pair of sneakers Tanika gifted me, since you said sensible shoes. I mean, what’s more sensible than sneakers? Then, I wanted to make sure they looked decent with what I had on. And then you’d told me to pack a dress for dinner, but I wasn’t sure if it was more causal or fancy. And then I had to make sure the dogsitter for PeeWee was good and knew about his meds and to change his bandages. He’s much more comfortable at home than at the medical spa.”
“Jackie,” Antonio laughed. “It’s all good. I mean, we gotta haul ass to the plane, but we’ll make it.”
Jackie slid inside the car, and Antonio couldn’t help but watch her thick ass and thighs glide across the leather in those jeans. This was the first time he’d ever seen Jackie in jeans. She either wore suits or dresses to the office, always with some kind of blazer. She definitely needed to wear jeans more often.
Antonio shook his head as he put on his seatbelt, trying to focus on the conversation and not Jackie’s ass. “We’ll get there. But now I know when I need you to be ready by five, that I really need to tell youthree, so you have enough time to pack your whole life.”
“Very funny,” Jackie typed, rolling her eyes. “Are you going to tell me where you’re taking me?”
“Damn, Luck. Can’t you let a brother surprise you? Stop asking all these questions. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.”
Jackie sucked her teeth as the app responded. “I mean, my family should know where I’m going.”
“I took care of that,” Antonio said. “I sent Tanika and Bronwyn the itinerary. Guess they didn’t spill the beans.”
