Billie thought she was slick, and I didn’t think I was strong enough to fight her.
“When you get that?” I walked further into house and kicked the door closed. “We got a flight to catch, but I’m willing to be late.”
Billie giggled and put her hand out to stop me from entering her personal space.
“Wait! A flight? When you told me to be ready, this is what I thought you meant. I need to go change.”
Sweets turned to walk out of the living room, but I caught her arm.
I admired the sheer floor-length navy-blue lace nightie that hugged her figure like a second skin. The piece had two splits that went up to her hips. Her skin glistened like she was covered in baby oil, and that shit had me rising to the occasion. I placed kisses along my wife’s jaw until I reached her mouth. My mouth hovered over hers until Billie stood on her tiptoes and pressed her lips against mine.
She moaned when I gripped the back of her neck, bringing her body flush against mine.
“You got me second guessing my plans. We can always leave out in the morning.”
I spoke against Billie’s lips and chuckled as she laughed.
“No, sir. You must stand on your kidnap mission. I’m actually excited to see what you have up your sleeve. You never half step, so I know whatever it is will be good.”
“Damn right, but the moment we get to our suite, it’s up. Now go get changed and make sure you bring that . . . I plan to peel that shit off you before the day is over.”
I smacked Billie’s ass as she turned and walked away from me.
The jiggle that followed caused me to groan and bite my fist. It took me a second to remember what I was supposed to be doing. I pulled my cell phone from my pocket to call my assistant.
The line rang twice before Rocky answered.
“Y’all good?”
I chuckled. “Yeah. I’m just waiting for the missus to get dressed. Is everything set up? We probably won’t be available for check-ins after we land.”
“Yeah, I figured as much. For the last three months, we’ve been on the go. I’m just glad I was able to get everything finalized in one day. Your vacation started this morning, so not that many people should be looking for you while y’all are gone.”
Although Rocky couldn’t see me, I nodded.
Just as the call disconnected, Billie came downstairs. She had on a tracksuit that matched mine, and I smiled at her. I held out my hand, and pride filled me as my wife came to me. As we left the house, Billie asked me about thirty times if I was sure she didn’t need to pack anything, and I was about to put her out on the side of the road. Billie was used to controlling everything, so having to take the back seat with this surprise had her on edge.
At the airport, I decided to valet the car because we were running behind and still had to get through security.
“You know I’ll find out where we’re going once I have my ticket, right?”
“The more you talk, the clearer my vision gets on how I plan to make it difficult for you to walk tomorrow.”
There was an older woman in front of us who gasped, and I winked at her when she looked at us over her shoulder.
“Truce.” Billie spoke through clenched teeth. “Behave before these people put us out.”
I cocked my head at her, and her spoiled ass folded her arms over her breasts and looked away from me.
With my finger under her chin, I turned her face toward me and puckered my lips. She acted like she was going to refuse, but when my eyebrow went up, Billie got some act right. She liked to pretend like she didn’t know what was up between us, and I enjoyed her little games. My baby was a freak, so it didn’t take much to knock away her tough guy act. Billie rolled her eyes then pecked my lips.
I smirked then nodded.
“That’s cool. I got you, Sweets.”
“Truce!”
I shook my head and let her step in front of me.
