Chapter 212: Double DateTwo weeks and one open water dive later, Jessi was just one dive short of her certification.She was pleased with her progress and said so in her journal. While at first, she'd been a little annoyed at Judd's requirement, she'd come to look forward to committing her thoughts and feelings to paper. And Judd, to his credit, had been completely open to whatever she wrote, never once judging her intimate words when he read over the journal about once a week."Nicely done, Angel. I can't wait to take you diving in the Bahamas." He handed Jessi's journal back to her, kissing her lightly. "Now, I'd better head out back and get the steaks going on the grill. Our guests will be here anytime."As if on cue, the doorbell rang. "Okay, you go take care of man business, I'll let them in," Jessi laughed, pausing to put her journal back in its drawer.She and Judd had invited Alex and Trish to dinner at Jessi's. Later, they'd walk down the block to Biba, a funky boutiq

Chapter 214: A Special Gift"Okay, Jessi. We'll leave Gomez and his lovely fiancée to this fine vessel. You and I are staying elsewhere tonight." He beamed at Jessi, a mysterious twinkle in his eye.Jessi, having donned her beach cover-up once again, retrieved her suitcase and tote bag. She hugged Trish and allowed Judd to help her onto the dock."You lovebirds go get settled. We'll meet you for dinner in a couple of hours. This place has a 5-star restaurant," Alex grinned."In the restaurant, 7:00. We'll be there," Judd promised.He hoisted his and Jessi's bags onto his left shoulder and held out his right hand to her. "Come on and let's see what the weekend holds for us."When they reached the end of the dock, Jessi turned and scanned the property in all directions. The water was fluid turquoise, while the land was a mix of green grass and sandy beach. A smattering of two-story hotel buildings in various pastel tones dotted the property, accented by coconut palms and lush t

Chapter 216: The Next RoundTealight candles bathed the room in a soft glow as Judd refastened the purple leather collar around Jessi's neck. He'd unlocked the delicate silver chain and placed it on the dresser. Now, he turned her to face him, his deep brown eyes all molten heat."Just give yourself over to the moment, Angel." Roughly, he claimed her lips, pouring out the desire that had been building all day. Images of Jessi flashed through his mind…on the boat, her new bikini showcasing her luscious curves, and later, making herself come as he controlled the device in her pussy. He'd seen the desire in her eyes as they made their way through dinner. Stopping at the bar had prolonged the anticipation, and he knew she was teetering on the edge of a thunderous climax.Keeping his lips locked on hers, he unzipped the back of her dress and slid it off her shoulders, leaving it where it fell. He scooped her up and deposited her on the bed, standing back to shuck his shirt, pants, an

Chapter 218: Family BarbecueJessi checked her image in the mirror and smiled at what she saw. The trip to the Bahamas and the following weekend's paddleboarding excursion had left her with a healthy glow. Since Judd had mentioned that he liked her hair's natural waves, she'd stopped bothering to straighten her auburn locks, leaving her hair looking healthier and younger. The purple tank top she wore swooped down to reveal a bit of cleavage and Judd's day collar twinkled against her skin in the light of the bathroom. White shorts and jeweled sandals completed her outfit. She felt a twinge of nerves and felt foolish about it. Judd was downstairs preparing ribs for the grill. Cara, without Trevor this time, and Adam were on their way, due to arrive any minute. Flights had been cheaper to Orlando, so Cara had flown there from Atlanta, offering to drive her younger brother down for a short weekend visit.She met her own eyes in the reflection and sighed deeply. The occasion would

Chapter 220: Birthday PlansAfter Jessi's kids returned to their own lives, Jessi and Judd fell back into their normal routine. With the arrival of season, Jessi was busy with event after event. But since her work was more flexible, she was able to adjust to Judd's erratic schedule. Together, they managed to continue to tackle the jobs on Graham's list, and to enjoy down time on the water, going out, and at times, doubling with Alex and Trish. The two couples had made a memorable trip to the fair and Jessi and Trish had the giant stuffed bears to prove it. Before Jessi knew it, her birthday rolled around. Judd had made certain that both of them had the night off, and he made an occasion of it, ringing her doorbell at precisely the minute he said he would be there. "Hello, birthday girl," he drawled, right arm behind his back. Impeccably groomed and dressed in a dark suit, a white dress shirt, and navy tie, Jessi thought he looked like sex on legs.She grinned shyly. "Hello.
