Chapter 3
Savvy
As I drive away from my meeting, I can’t believe I agreed to go to dinner with Joshua. I need to stay at least two states away from that man at all times. When I walked in the conference room there were 8 of them, and they are all fine tall, big ass men. Joshua introduced them as his brothers but it’s like they are two sets of brothers. 4 of them look like they have permanent tans, long dark hair and various shades of grey eyes.
The other 4 are not pale but definitely not the same natural tan as the others; they all have red hair ranging from flaming red to brownish red with various shades of green eyes. Oh, my damn, the one brother, Atlas, he’s bigger than all the others except Joshua and he looks mean as hell.
He has a nasty jagged scar across his entire face. It starts from his hairline on one side and stops at his neck on the other side of his face. Across his eye, nose and even a portion of his lips, it looks like someone sliced his face open. He has the most beautiful chartreuse eyes I have ever seen; I didn’t even know eyes could be that color. He looks like he is waiting to fuck some shit up, and I damn near laid on the table next to lunch and offered myself up as tribute.
I have never been with more than one man at a time but for those brothers I'd identify as a Sealy Posturepedic. I have already decided that Joshua is probably super popular with the ladies and I refuse to become another notch on his belt. However, it has been a long time since I was out on a date and I said I was going to do everything that scares me, within reason. And Joshua scares the shit out of me.
I head back to the hotel to get ready for dinner tonight and realize I did not pack for a dinner date. I love the hotel I am staying at. They have everything I could need including a spa, five-star restaurant, and pool and Jacuzzi. However, I need to find alternative housing because I cannot continue to pay for this luxury, and it is going to be months before my house is ready. I go through my luggage, and I have nothing that is dinner worthy.
I call down to the concierge to see if I can get something suitable delivered to me for tonight. Peter was more than happy to help dress me for tonight after asking about where I was going to dinner, he told me not to worry about my clothes and sent me to the spa for a nice massage and pedicure.
Once I am done in the spa, I head back to my room to find a box on the bed that I am assuming is from Peter with my clothes for tonight. I had to make Peter promise he would not try to dress me like a high-class hooker. Since I have been here, I have been drawn to Peter. He looks like an older version of Henry Cavill.
Not only is he a fine ass silver fox, but he also dresses his ass off, he will get you told, and recommend a restaurant all in the same breath. A hot mess and I love him. I think he has adopted me as an unofficial daughter. With my heart in my throat I am worried about what I will find in the box, I lift the top and find a modest black sleeveless mock turtleneck dress and a lightweight coat to pair with it. I’m shocked that it appears so tame but relieved that it is my style and I go to get ready for my date.
I let my hair out of the bun I wore it in to spray some water in it, add my curl defining cream and let it be free. I take my time applying my make-up. I am not big on wearing a full face but for tonight I’ll make an exception. Once I put the dress on, I realized it is not as modest as it appeared. It’s not quite Bodycon tight but close and on my plus sized body it is damn near indecent. That damn Peter. It comes mid- calf with a split to mid-thigh, but the jacket hides the split for the most part. I add some gold shoulder dusters, bangles and the same black peep toe booties I wore earlier. As a final touch, I spray on my favorite perfume.

I grab my large wristlet, drop in my hotel key card, ID, credit and debit cards, lip gloss and my black pearl handle Sig Sauer P320 Subcompact gun named Brianna. Yeah, I never leave home without her. Just because I like Joshua and he doesn’t give me any bad vibes; you can never be too careful, and I take nothing for granted.Once I make it downstairs, Peter is there waiting. He lets out a wolf whistle that gets everyone’s attention and all I can do is shake my head. I swear this man grew up around some black people. He has the valet get my rental as he takes me by the hand to twirl me around to get a three hundred sixty-degree look.
“You look good Ms. Errington”
I shake my head because after all the talks and inappropriate things that Peter has spewed out of his mouth, he still calls me by my last name.
“Call me Savvy, Peter.”
He just looks at me and smirks, as if to say, ‘yeah right’.Before I can admonish him again, my car pulls up and he asks me if I have Briana with me.
“Of course, I never leave home without her.”
He smiles and says, “Keep your feet on the ground and not up by your ears tonight.”
I damn near trip and fall as I watch the valet turn several shades of red.
“Really Peter?”
He just smiles, and I get in the car because I know he has no remorse or embarrassment for what he just said in stereo in the lobby of a 5-star hotel. I type the address in the GPS and begin driving to what I don’t realize is my future.
Savvy
The further I drive the more nervous I get as I am taken further from the city deeper into rural Mississippi. Lord is this man trying toan old fashioned hanging out here, I ask myself. I reach over and feel Brianna in my purse and know that if he does try anything either we’ll both be dead or one of us will be dead and the other seriously injured.
I turn onto another road that leads into the woods and the road looks like something out of a fairytale. The road is lined with old fashion looking oil lamps and trees with fairy lights on them. It looks like a winter wonderland. The trees hang over the road causing a canopy of lights, it's simply beautiful. I am so taken in by the lamps and trees I do not realize I have come to the restaurant until the GPS alerts me. I look up and literally stop in the middle of the road. I’m glad there was no one behind me because I am sure I would have caused an accident. I just sit staring in wonder at what is a tree egg.
There are eight huge wood and glass tree eggs in various trees connected by a series of elevated treetop walkways. The pods or eggs are about fifty feet in the air and there are nets underneath the walkway and pods for safety. I finally begin driving again and park in front of the egg with the eight on it. Before I can get out of the car, Joshua appears out of nowhere to open my car door. I take the hand he offers and step out my car. Once I am out of the car, he does not back up but stands so close to me I can see the pulse in his neck. I cannot back up because the car is behind me and I stand there lost in his silver-grey eyes.
I blink and I swear he moves closer when I open my eyes, my hands go automatically to his chest and I let out a deep sigh and the butterflies in my stomach take flight. He gives me a small, crooked smile as he grabs one of the hands resting on his chest like they belong there.
“You look good enough to eat, Savannah.”
This damn man causes all types of shit to go sideways in my body. I stand in front of this him and damn near cum from his eyes, voice, words and his damn rock-climbing wall of a chest. Whose stupid ass idea was it for me to go to dinner with him? I am kicking myself for saying yes and I can clearly hear Peter’s voice in my head as I conjure up a picture of my feet by my ears as I cum repeatedly on Joshua’s dick...or tongue. Dear god Savvy pull yourself together, you are a grown ass woman with grandchildren.
I swallow, find my voice and respond. “You look very nice as well, Joshua.” And he does. He is wearing all black, from his black Gucci loafers, black dress pants, black Gucci belt, black dress shirt with the top two buttons open, and a thin gold chain. His hair is in a man bun and his beard is immaculately groomed. And if that isn’t enough, he smells like orgasms and broken hearts. I really could kick my own ass for saying yes.
