paradise. Quickly spotting the group beneath the colorful umbrellas, she slipped out of the heels and relished the feel of warm sand beneath her pedicured feet. The view was as pretty as a postcard. A warm breeze tossed her shoulder-length curls. Looking up, she saw Nathan’s gaze fixed on her. She offered a shy wave. He gave a nod. Her heart skipped a beat.
She looked like a goddess, or a nymph, coming toward him in dazzling white. Against her sun-kissed bronze-toned flesh the contrast was amazing. The cover-up she wore was long and sheer, so he could glimpse just enough of her juicy cleavage to make him want to forego the afternoon activities and return to the room. A sideways glance confirmed what he’d imagined: all eyes were on his girl.
She walked straight to him. “Hey.”
“Hello, beautiful. I thought you’d beat me down here.”
“At the last minute, I decided to change my outfit.”
“Baby, I don’t know what you had on before, but this right here is exceptional.” He gave her a hug.
She whispered in his ear. “I hoped you’d like it.”
“Everyone, this is my lady, Jessica.” Everyone offered a hello. “I’ve been waiting on you, baby. I want to get in the water. Would you like a drink first? We’ve got a nonalcoholic fruit punch and another mix with a kick.”
“No, I’m good. The water looks amazing, though. Let’s go in.”
“All right, y’all. We’ll be back.”
“Should I leave my cover-up here?”
“Sure.”
She shimmied out of the see-through material and placed it on a lawn chair. Reaching for Nathan’s outstretched hand, they turned toward the beach.
A gasp stopped him.
Nathan turned around. “What happened?” He watched his sister snatch up Jessica’s throw and hurry toward them at the same time he witnessed the wives divert their husbands’ pointed stares.
He followed their gaze to . . . Jessica’s big bare ass.
“I can’t believe you came out here like that,” Sherri quietly hissed between clenched teeth. She moved them farther away from the group. This needed to be a private conversation. “That suit is not appropriate!”
“We’re on a private island!” Jessica looked from Sherri to Nathan. “Babe?”
He took another peek at the round orb now competing with the sun for showiness. “She looks fine to me, Sis. The kids aren’t here and we are on a private stretch of beach.”
“With company.” Sherri enunciated each consonant and vowel. “Women and their husbands .”
Jessica shrugged, moving closer to Nathan. “And I’m here with my man. What’s the problem?”
“If you don’t know, I don’t have time to tell you. Not right now. Just go change.”
“We didn’t know there’d be company, Sherri.”
“Nathan’s okay with it and that’s all that matters.” Jessica reached for Nathan’s hand. “Come on, babe. Let’s go swimming.” She turned to leave.
Sherri grabbed her arm. Jessica snatched it back. Undeterred, Sherri took a step and got right in her face. “ I’m not okay with it and this is my property. So you can either change or leave—your choice.”
“Nathan?”
“It’s not worth the drama, baby. Go change.”
Jessica crossed her arms. “You’re going to side with your sister?”
“This is her place and we are here at her invitation.”
“Which doesn’t excuse you from not having my back.”
“Or backside,” Sherri sarcastically quipped.
“This is just the type of bullshit that keeps me from having female friends. If I’d come down naked, you’d have a reason to be upset. But for showing just a little skin, you are seriously overreacting.”
Had Sherri been a piñata, this is when she would have burst. “Do. Not. Tell me how to react. Coming down here with your ass out is not cute. So like I said, you have two choices. You can go change, or you can go pack.”
Sherri won the ten-second stare-down.
Nathan sighed. “Jessica, go put on something different.”
“Okay,” was Jessica’s
