while…did you sleep okay?”
    “Thanks to you, it was the best sleep that I’ve had in a long time.” They hugged and he rolled her on top of him.  Shontell could feel him rise on her buttocks.
    “I thought you were going to behave.”
    “What? I thought that I was behaving.” She scooted back so that now she was on his lap, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
    “Ha, you were until I felt that.” She started grinding a little on his erection. He groaned.
    “I’ll tell you what…if you do that again, I won’t be behaving.”
    “Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Good thing it’s almost time for you to get ready. Your bus will be here in an hour and a half. Breakfast is in twenty minutes.” Nico groaned again as he leaned in to kiss Shontell’s shoulder. They straightened up the room. Then Shontell left Nico’s to finish packing and head downstairs.

Hook, Line, Sinker
Nico
    Nico finished packing and ran into the gift shop to grab a few supplies. He groaned when he saw Tina at the register. He cut to the left sharply to avoid her. He got what he went in for. Purposely, he hung around…idling. He wanted her to finish in the shop, so that she wouldn’t see him and speak to him. He still felt something wasn’t right when it came to her being at the hotel. She should have known he wouldn’t be happy to see her.  They didn’t exactly part as friends. 
    He decided not to think about this now. Nico finished his transaction and headed into breakfast. All of his friends looked at him. He noticed that Shontell had not come into the room yet. Dennis spoke first.
    “So how was your night, bro? Did you two do something I would have done?”  he smirked. Nico looked at him and paused. For some reason, his questions sounded more like an interrogation. He decided not to let Dennis’ smart attitude ruin his mood. He smirked back at him. He grabbed a glass of orange juice and a bagel.
    “We had a great evening. How did you guys fare at the casino?”
    “Oh, we had a good night as well.”
    “That’s good.” He took his food and headed to the table. John could almost choke on the thickness in the air. It was building between the two, and he thought he needed to intervene. He normally did. He stepped in between them putting, both arms over their shoulders.
    “You know I was hot on those tables, boy. Got me a mint,” John said, laughing. He changed the mood quickly. The room erupted with chatter. Nico took that time to talk to the members about a possible incentive gift for Shontell’s service. They all agreed. Even Dennis had to admit she was good at her job. It had only been two days since the release party, and their sales had increased. They were finishing up when Shontell walked in wearing a purple pantsuit with purple and black heels. The whole room became quiet, and Shontell’s face turned the color of her suit. 
    Martin walked over to her, and they began talking. Nico watched her, and John came up behind him. “Man, you got it bad already huh?”
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Nico said as he smiled the whole time. He bit into his bagel. Shontell grabbed a cup of coffee. She walked into the room, making sure everyone was ready. Nico and John both watched her do her magic. John nodded. He was clearly impressed by the way she handled things. Moments later, she announced that the bus was waiting out front.
    They were getting ready to load up in the bus when Nico pulled her to the side. He gave her a card. He wanted to kiss her, but chose to hug her instead…not wanting them to be watched by the others.  
    “Shontell, thank you for everything. I will see you in a week, but I will talk to you tonight after we arrive.  My contact info is on this card.” They hugged again, and he gave her a peck on the cheek. She pulled a medium sized envelope out of her purse and handed it to him. They both must have felt that someone was looking at them.  Nico was surprised to see it was Dennis
