yes, Jake wants to see by zankoo

Chapter 52

Jake shrugged. "Sure, if you want to show me." "Sure?" Abbie asked, testing him. Jake laughed. "Well ... it's not like I've never seen you before." Abbie thought about it and then changed her tone. "If you don't want to see it, I don't have to show it to you." Jake looked her...

they reach the lobby by zankoo

Chapter 53

Jake intentionally stayed a few paces back -- it gave him a better view of Abbie. She had a hand extended toward him, and he knew he should catch up, take her hand, and walk into the hotel with her. But he liked watching her move. He liked watching her legs and the way her dress...

Michelle starts getting frisky with Jake by zankoo

Chapter 46

Michelle's eyes lit up, and then her heart began to race. Of all the times she had flirted her way toward getting sexual with someone, it had always been gradual foreplay, a game of will-you-won't-you, testing boundaries, and so on. With Abbie just now, it was a totally different...

Abbie tapped Michelle on the arm. "Stop flirting with Tyler. Let him do his job." "I think his job _is_ flirting with me. But now you've scared him off. Boo, you." Abbie's hand rested on Michelle's arm. "Look, when we were at dinner, you were the self-proclaimed hot bitch, righ...
