I smiled.She’s naked on the bottom too. Lucky me!
“Hey princess, it’s time for our massage. I know you're already naked and ready for some pampering, but you might want to pee first or have something to drink, at the very least.”
Suddenly, she ripped the covers off and stood up, unaware she was completely naked for a full second. Our eyes met.
“Well, if this isn’t the best morning I’ve had in a long time, I don’t know what is. Damn, woman, you are finer than the best-aged wine I’ve ever had.” Laughing, I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture before she moved. “I promise I won’t send it to anyone. I’ll just use it, well, you know.”
Murder was in her eyes when she pulled the blanket off the bed and wrapped it around herself. “I don’t suppose you know how I ended up this way, do you? I was wearing my pajamas at bedtime and then I woke up with you standing next to the bed and I’m completely naked!”
Like a regal queen, she tugged at the train of the blanket at her feet so she could walk. She didn't bother waiting for my answer and stormed off to the bathroom, head held high. I spent the next ten minutes listening to the shower run and trying to keep my junk in order as I looked at her adorably sexy picture.
When she came out, all hints of emotion were gone. I was in an awesome mood, despite the delays in time for the opening at Chelsea. I was with a lovely woman in a beautiful hotel. We’d had sex once, and she was completely naked for a beautiful picture. Life was good. What made it even more tempting was how easily I could upset her. It was heaven knowing I annoyed her as much as she did me. Somewhere deep inside, I knew that was going to bite me in the ass one day, but for now, I ran with it like a child with a pair of scissors.
“What’s up, princess?”
She glared at me, only half-heartedly, but it was still an annoyed glare. “Leave me alone.”
I couldn't help myself. “Not happening. We have a couple’s massage, so let's head downstairs and get this party started.”
Gwen frowned.
I gave her a sideways hug. “Come on, princess. We are not having wild sex on the balcony for all the city to see, although that idea is rather appealing, except for the chilly air, of course. Cheer up. We got two feet of snow, and it’s going to take a shit ton of time for the boys down there with the city to get this place cleared up, so we might as well enjoy the time.”
I was in an unusual mood. I hardly ever cracked jokes and almost never teased.
She smiled, despite her best efforts not to. “I want you to delete that photo of me now.”
“No can do beautiful unless you want to do a little exchange program, a little wild ride, and I will let you personally delete it!”
She punched me in the stomach.
“Ouch, was that a mosquito biting me? This time of year?” I moved before she had a chance to do it again.
“Damn it, James. What is wrong with you today? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you like this. I don’t like it at all. Bring back the irritating, annoying, hard-headed, stubborn man I met a few days ago, that I was dealing with for the past few days.”
“No can do, gorgeous. I think it’s the snow, it’s out of my control and I’m hoping the massage will put you in the mood.”
She threw a pillow from the couch at me. “What about your virtual meetings?”
“You can schedule them later. Right now, massage. Then, if there is time, a quick roll between the sheets will put us both in a better mood.”
The eye roll did it for me. “You know that makes me want to fuck you more. Don’t do that, Gwen, unless you want me to bend you over this couch. Come on, let's get going. My back is killing me because some diva of a temporary personal assistant is making me sleep on the couch every night to protect her morality.”
It didn't take long to get downstairs once she got in the elevator. She grabbed a glass of cucumber water from the lobby before we reached the spa oasis.
“Oh my. This is beautiful.”
I was fascinated by Gwen’s reaction. “Don’t tell me you and your girlfriends have never done a spa day? What about your cousin, Martie, and you?”
She sighed and sat down in a comfy single chair so I couldn’t sit next to her while we waited. “No, I’ve never been to a spa, or had a massage. Unless, of course, Alexander's hands on my back in tenth grade while he was trying to get me, naked count?”
“Good morning, Mr. Renegade. It’s a pleasure to have you and…”
I stood up and held out my hand for Gwen to take, the look on her face was priceless: worry, concern, confusion, like I was going insane. Thankfully, she took my hand anyway.
“Good morning. This is Gwen, my partner.”
The petite, dark-haired woman with brown doe eyes was no match for the queen of the Nile standing next to me. “Oh delightful, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Gwen. What a beautiful couple you are. Come right this way.”
