BRONWYN:Like that closed throat chakra
TANIKA:I really want to say something inappropriate…
BRONWYN:LOL
JACKIE:I hate y’all. Bye.
Jackie took a handful of shelled almonds and threw them in her mouth. She wasn’t sure if she had bad luck, bad timing, or both. It was one thing to be on a business trip with Antonio; it was another thing to be sharing a room all 6’4” of him, wet and naked….
When someone touched her shoulder, she nearly jumped out of her skin.
Antonio chuckled. “Girl, it’s just us in here. Why are you jumping?”
Jackie tried her best not to stare at the wet torso in front of her. He had a bath sheet wrapped around his waist that didn’t do much to conceal anything. She shook her head and looked down.
“Oh, so now you want to look away?” he teased.
Busted. Jackie’s eyes widened in horror.
“I saw you looking, Jackie. Don’t front, ma.”
Jackie rolled her eyes and threw back the last of the fresh-squeezed guava juice.
Antonio adjusted the bath sheet around his waist. “The first peep show is free. Next time, I’m charging you, Miles.”
Jackie threw a pillow at his back as he walked away. What an ass.Also…what an ass, literally!It was like he didn’t miss squat day.
Jackie groaned. This was going to be a very long trip. It had better be worth it.
CHAPTER 17
Antonio sat in the foyer that led to the main gardens while Jackie freshened up. As much as he’d love to watch her take a shower, he decided to give her some privacy.
Not that she had extended him the same courtesy. He’d peeped her stuffing her cheeks like a squirrel and watching him. So, he’d shamelessly flexed his back and let the water run down longer than he should have. He had all the time in the world to put on a show for her. If she wanted to watch, he’d let her. Honestly, he’d let her do anything she wanted to do.
Antonio pulled out his phone. He went to check his messages. He didn’t know why, but he’d hoped PJ would have checked in. He hadn’t. He did have one text from his parents, but it wasn’t loading without the Wi-Fi. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw their attendant, Lupe, with her brown braided crown and pristine white uniform.
“Perdona?” Antonio said.
“Sí, Señor?
