“Hopefully soon, with whatever the aunt has.”
“I hope so ’cause I can’t unsee those medical records. Shit was bad, real bad. He’s living on borrowed?—”
“You ready?” Sunjiya’s sultry voice calls out, interrupting him. She’s in the doorway wearing a brown swimsuit that damn near blends with her beautiful skin. She looks fucking amazing and his appreciation falls off his lips.
“Damn,” he utters and Axton hears him and her loud and clear.
“Nigga, you in trouble. Go handle your girl,” he says with amusement then ends the call.
When Akeem drops the cell from his ear, Sunjiya notices. “Oh, my bad. I didn’t know you were on the phone,” she apologizes.
“I’m not now. Come here.”
“We’re not going out there?” she asks, motioning toward the beautiful, sugar-white sand and blue-green water just over a hundred feet away.
“We are,” he assures her. “I just want to get a closer look at all this beauty standing all the way back there.”
The lust and appreciation in his eyes are undeniable and causes her entire body to blush. He sees her, appreciates what he sees, and doesn’t hesitate to speak on that appreciation.Pure adoration from a fine ass man is sexy and will boost any woman’s esteem, even if it’s already through the roof. So she happily struts over to him, intentionally adding a little extra sway in her hips just for his eyes.
“Is this close enough?” she asks when she’s standing between his gaped legs.
His warm hands land on the sides of her legs and he runs them up her thighs. They travel a little more and grab her ass. After squeezing, he lifts his eyes to hers.
“Nah. I really want you on me, on my face, but because you want to swim, I’ll take this,” he admits, then stands. His hands stay on her ass as he nastily kisses her lips. “Shit,” he utters when he releases her mouth. “Put on one of them dresses while I change into my shorts. I don’t want to have to kill somebody before we reach the water.”
“I’m not swimming in my dress,” she tells him.
“But it’ll be on you until the water covers you,” he retorts before pecking her lips.
“That makes no damn sense. You know that, right?” she asks but he doesn’t answer. Instead, he kisses her again before walking into the room. She simply shakes her head at him as she follows. When he steps to the closet to grab his bag, she grabs one of her dresses.
Not even five minutes later, he’s in his shorts and a tee and her dress covers her beautiful, chocolate two-piece. Together, they leave the room, grab two complimentary beach towels from the front desk, then trek to the beach. When they walk past the hotel’s pool, Sunjiya notices a bar.
“Let’s see what they got,” she says before grabbing his hand and damn near dragging him to the bar. The Tiki Bar is in a prime location, right next to the heated pool, overlooking the beautiful beach. It offers a full bar and even has several flatscreen TVs. They walk straight to the bar where two ladiesare seated. Two small buckets filled with fruity drinks are in front of them. “Excuse me,” Sunjiya says to the younger looking lady. “That looks good. What is it?”
“Oh, this is the Long Sunset and she got the Caribbean Banana. They are both so good but I’m a tequila girlie and hers has rum.”
“Then Long Sunset it is. I love tequila too. Thanks.”
“Don’t let the taste fool you though. It’s strong as hell,” the lady warns before turning back to her homegirl.
The bartender places a one-page menu in front of Sunjiya and she turns to Akeem. “You want something?”
“Nah. I’m good,” he says.
“It’s the beach. At least get a beer. Please don’t make me drink by myself,” she pleads, more with her eyes than her tone, and he can’t resist her eyes.
“A beer,” he utters, giving in.
“Bud Light, Budweiser, Miller Light, Co—” She starts to read from the menu but he stops her.
“A Heineken,” he says. Then he steps behind her and wraps his arms around her. She looks sexy as hell under the sun with her hair blowing in the wind. The dress can only do so much. While it covers her swimsuit, it also accentuates her curves and draws the attention of a group of men on the other end of the bar. They just stepped up and glanced at her two too many damn times. “You look amazing,” he utters into her ear.
“Thank you,” she utters back.
“Place the order.”
“He saw I was ready. He’s coming.”
