Free In The Company of My Sistahs by Angie Daniels

out, but are you going to deny that you were doing the same?” he asked, his eyes never leaving the computer screen.
    I dropped my hand to my waist, then said all nonchalant and shit, “okay, so I was checking you out.”
    He smiled, pleased with my confession. “And your friends also noticed the attraction between us.”
    Actually, they probably had each already come to the conclusion that I was on another dick hunt and were probably thinking, “Poor Everton, he just doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into.”
    He handed me back my ID and met my gaze head on. “So, what do you want to do about it?”
    I pursed my lips. So far I was impressed by what I saw. Everton was one of those who went after what he wanted. I ain’t mad at him. “Do about what?” I asked as I gave him my wrist and he snapped my bracelet on.
    â€œThis attraction we seem to have.”
    My Jamaican brotha definitely has confidence, but it was time to bring his ass down a peg or two. “Isn’t there some rule about the staff messing with the guests?”
    My comment caused his grin to waver slightly, then he merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “Yes, but I’m not going to tell. Are you?”
    Leaning closer, I shook my head. The door to the office opened and a fine light-skinned Jamaican stepped out and moved up to the counter. I half expected Everton to get all professional and shit on me, but instead he did the complete opposite.
    â€œCasey. This is Renee.”
    â€œWhat a beautiful name for a beautiful woman,” he replied as he licked his lips and made a sistah want to shiver. I would have pushed Everton’s ass aside if Casey wasn’t so damn short.
    â€œThank you. I might have to introduce you to one of my girls.” Lisa is faithful to her husband. Kayla is much too tall. But Nadine, if she keeps her damn mouth shut, might be a match.
    â€œShe got friends?” he asked with a heavy accent.
    Everton held up three fingers. “And they’re all lovely. Only this one here is the best. As soon as we saw each other, we knew we were a match.”
    What the fuck ever. I don’t know what the hell he was talking about. All I was after was some dick.
    Casey nodded. “Hopefully I’ll get a chance to meet you and your friends later today.”
    â€œI’m sure you will.” I followed Casey’s movement as he strolled down to the end of the counter.
    â€œCome see me later,” Everton said, drawing my attention again.
    â€œWe’ll see.”
    Everton handed me my key. “I’m here tonight until ten.”
    I nodded again. I was grinning so much, my jaws hurt. Finally, I forced myself to turn away from the desk and, remembering the directions he had given Kayla, walked toward the building where I would be staying for the next seven days. As I moved across the lobby, I could feel the heat of his eyes on my backside. So naturally, of course, I added a little extra swing to my sway. Jamaica was already shaping up to be one trip I would never forget.
    My heart was racing so fast I almost missed the enchanting view from the back of the hotel. There was a large outdoor pool with several kids playing while parents lay around in chairs, catching rays of the sun. I stepped out of the building and followed the path toward the first building behind the main one. The lawns were thick and green and surrounded by colorful arrays of flowers and popular plants.
    I stepped into the building, a little extra pep in my step. It had barely been an hour since my arrival and already I had a hook-up.
    I took the stairs two at a time and found my room on the right. I reached for my key card and swiped it. Just as my luck would have it, Nadine stuck her head outside the door directly across the hall.
    â€œAbout damn time.”
    See, didn’t I tell you their nosy asses would be watching me. I didn’t even bother to respond; instead I
