in her mouth.
“ Well damn, I have to take back what I just said, you are weird,” he teased.
“ I’m not!” Simone objected. She gestured towards the kitchen, but it really encompassed the whole house. “This place does this to me. Even though everybody has been so nice, I still feel like I need to be prim and proper and dress up just to walk around this place.”
He stared pointedly at her breasts, pouring out of her bikini top. “Well obviously you aren’t feeling like that now.”
She had put on one of the skimpier swimsuits Mannie had picked out for her honeymoon, since she didn’t expect to see anyone she had only thrown on a sarong and a pair of Juicy Couture flip flops. Simone boldly met Kirk’s gaze. “I guess not.”
Just then Aleesha walked into the room. She politely acknowledged Simone, but she nearly fell over herself trying to get to Kirk and Simone watched the scene play out with amusement. She mashed her banana then sprinkled some trail mix over it.
“ Hey Kirk,” Aleesha said while sidling up to him. “So how you been doing?”
He smiled faintly at her. “Great Aleesha.”
“ So what have you been up to?”
“ Nothing, just working, keeping busy,” he answered then focused on his sandwich, dismissing her.
Aleesha watched him, waiting for him to say more, when she saw that he wasn’t, she turned away. “Okay then, I’ll see you later.”
Simone and Kirk watched her skulk out of the kitchen. “Wow, that was awkward,” Simone finally said.
Kirk groaned. “God, I know. I never should’ve slept with her.”
“ You what?”
“ Yeah, we hooked up about a year ago. It was only for a month or so, and I feel so bad because she’s still interested, but I wasn’t feeling her.”
“ Why not? She’s beautiful, smart, sweet and she got one hell of a job.”
“ Yeah, she’s all that, but she didn’t have it .”
Simone placed her elbows on the counter and cocked her head in interest. “ It ?”
“ Yeah it . It’s that indescribable thing that makes a man fall in love with a lady.” He ignored his sandwich and rounded the island. “I want you Simone. You have it .” He boldly ran a finger down the front of her bathing suit, skimming between her breasts; Simone shot a furtive glance towards the door before she cupped the back of Kirk’s head and brought it to her chest. Kirk tenderly kissed her bare skin and she moaned when his tongue ran over the top of her globes. She had been dreaming about this.
“ Stop it Kirk. J.T. said that if I ever sleep with you, our deal is off. And I’m scared. That means that my mother might be disappointed in me and he had promised Lawrence a job when he got out. I can’t just throw all that away for some unknown. I have too many people counting on me,” she whispered.
Kirk grabbed her hands and she snatched them away, he ignored it. “You know that I have money, not as much as J.T. but I do pretty well. I can’t see your mom getting upset with you for divorcing your soon-to-be billionaire husband for a multi-millionaire. And as far as Lawrence goes, I can always make a few calls, I know a lot of people, who owe me favors, I can find something for him pretty quickly,” he said in a hushed tone.
“ Even if I wanted to go with you, I can’t, J.T. would be embarrassed if we separated so soon. And I can’t do that to him, I like him and I respect him. So leave me alone.” She bolted out of the kitchen.

J.T. pulled the Land Rover in front of Phipps Plaza the upscale mall in Buckhead where celebrity sightings were a daily occurrence. He stopped at the curb for valet service, a young man raced to his truck. “Wait hold on.” He reached into the glove compartment and pulled out his wallet. He reached into it and pulled out a credit card. “Here you go.”
“ What’s this?”
“ Your credit card. How did you expect to shop?”
“ I thought you were buying everything,” she said shyly. After all, a clothing
