The door starts to swing open when I remember that I double-locked it. I turn back to Alton, hoping he'll be his usual stoic self, but his grin is bigger than the Vegas Strip.

He holds his hand out toward me. "Congratulations, you jackass. She's one hell of a woman. You're lucky to have her." He reaches out and punches me hard on the arm. "Now go get your woman."

"I will, Al. Just as soon as you pick up all your damn stuff and beat it, man."

I hear Jenny's voice beyond the suite's front door just as Alton dives for his discarded tie.

"Ry!" Jenny calls out. "Let me in. The door's locked."

"Just a minute, baby," I call back. "I'm getting ready to come to you."

The only thing I'm getting ready to do is have a damn panic attack while Alton tries to play it cool, but I open the door, anyway.

It swings open and there she is, looking ready to blow away anyone who gets in her way. Even my brother.

Wearing a long gray dress that accentuates her curves, Jenny glares over at Alton, her hands on her hips.

"You two in here plotting some guy-night stuff without me?" she says in a voice that makes me think of a lioness hunting down its prey.

"No, baby," I say, reaching for her and pulling her inside. "Absolutely no plotting." I watch Alton start to sneak away toward the front door, grabbing for his discarded items on the floor.

Jenny helps, grabbing his tie and handing it over. "Where are you going?" she asks.

He glances over at my soon-to-be fiancée who is still glaring at him like a lioness. "Uh…taking off. That's what I do, right? I'm taking off."

"Aww, no," Jenny says. "I haven't seen you all day, Al. I can walk you out." She reaches for his arm and takes a step, but Alton shakes his head and pulls away.

"I think I can make it," he says, backing toward the door. "I'm a big boy. I know these streets." He glances at me and winks as he opens it. "I'll see you later tonight, man."

"You betcha, man," I say, watching him walk out.

Jenny tugs on my shirt and frowns. "Oh no. Did my showing up just ruin your ‘Guys-Only’ time?"

"Nah, baby, it's not that," I tell her as I lean down and kiss her. Her lips are soft and wet, full of desire. "You just caught us in the middle of a brother-to-brother discussion."

"I can imagine. Maybe we could find him a nice woman to date?"

I laugh, kissing her once more. My woman is so cute. "Now that's a little more than I'm willing to talk about with my brother," I say, turning her in my arms. "I think he's been a little too over-exposed to women lately. Especially the miniature type like Shelby. He's got enough on his plate now that he has full custody. As for you and me? We've got some catching up to do."

Jenny winds her arms around my neck and pulls me close, her hazel eyes sparkling with mischief. "What kind of catching up to do?"

"Well, we've got a long night ahead of us. The launch party for the app's going to kick off in, like, an hour. The sun's starting to set, and there's nothing better I can think of to do when the sun goes down…than going down on you."

Her voice lowers. "Is that right?"

"It sure is." I wrap my hands around her waist, pressing my growing erection against her stomach. "I once told you that I wanted to fuck you against every surface in this hotel suite."

"You did," Jenny murmurs against my lips.

"So, I intend to make good on that promise."

"And am I going to let you?" She reaches down and places her hand on my growing erection, squeezing me hard.

I grin. "Absolutely. But that's not all I want to do right now." I kiss her, opening my mouth against hers and slipping my tongue inside. "I want to give you the full experience we should have had the first time we stayed in this suite.”

"You do? Something tells me that would require more than an hour to do.”

“Perhaps. That's why I want to get started right now."
