The décor in the rooms on the fourth floor were plush. They were designed to provide a casual sexual environment and to heighten sexual experiences. The twins had the rooms done a year after Garvey’s re-launch. The rooms were $269.99 per night on the weekends and $199.99 during the week.The room Jackie was in had not been rented for the night because Jackie had reserved it for her and Williamson. He had called and canceled. Williamson had said he had to do a favor for a friend. Jackie had said she understood. She forgot to put the room back on vacant. It was a good thing that she did because it turned out she needed it after all.She thought about what Daniel said. He was right. If she and Nick get this out of the way, then she won’t be taken off guard anymore by his chiseled physique and attractive features when they bumped into each other. Jodi was off the mark. It was sexual tension – that’s all.Jackie had stripped off her wet teddy and gloves, pulled down the satin red comforter

Jackie and Jodi concluded a morning meeting with their employees in the bar. The bar phone rang. It was too early for someone calling in a food order. They didn’t open until 11 a.m.Trina answered it. “Garvey’s” She was quiet for a moment, and then she loudly said, “Hey, Deputy Dalton.”Jackie rolled her eyes. Nick had called at least twice a day for a week. He had also stopped by twice. Both times Jackie had avoided him. Couldn’t he take a hint? One night, that was the deal. Jackie yearned for an encore, but she couldn’t allow it. Nick had too much power over her. She had to keep her distance.“I’m not sure, I just got here. Let me ring the front desk and ask Barb. Can you hold?” Trina said loudly. “Thanks.” She pressed the hold button.Jackie sighed. How many more excuses could she come up with?“He’s not going away,” Jodi sang in a high-pitched voice with a smirk on her face. She sat down on a bar stool.“I know, right? Jackie, you must have put the good shit on him,” Trina said wi

Nick had called the attorney that helped him get David’s will out of probate. He had explained the situation with the website and stressed that discretion was absolutely crucial. He had been understanding and assured Nick that he would take care of it.It was 9 p.m. Nick stood outside of Joe’s Diner. He was going to let it go, but Bonnie could have answers to questions that wouldn’t go away.He walked in. An old couple was sitting in a booth. Other than them, there was no one in there. Nick walked up to the counter.Bonnie had a big smile when she came out of the kitchen. “Hey, Dalton, what can I get you?”He slowly looked up at her. “Information.”“About what?” she chirped.Nick leaned in close. “PlanetVoyeur.com”Her face went pale. “After all this time . . . you’re asking me about it, now?”“I just found out today,” Nick whispered.“How?” she whispered.He took a deep breath. “The videos are still on the website.”Her eyes went back in her head.Nick thought she was going to faint.

Nick and Goldman had parked in a discrete location outside of Garvey’s to watch A.J. put Jackie’s beloved Mustang on his tow truck. Nick and Goldman had laughed hysterically as they watched Jackie run out of the hotel. They had doubled over in the cruiser when Jackie hurled her portfolio on the ground. They had cracked up again when Jackie screamed at the top of her lungs and stomped her feet.“Now, what is she doing?” Goldman asked as he snickered.Nick chuckled. “Looks, like she’s getting into Jodi’s jeep.”Goldman moved his head from side to side around Nick’s head. “Looks like she is wearing a business suit. She’s going somewhere important.”“She is – the impound lot,” Nick said and laughed.Goldman laughed, too. “You want me to tail ‘em?”Nick thought for a moment. He smiled. “Nah, she’ll end up at the impound sooner or later.” -------Jodi had dropped Jackie off outside of the station and pulled off. Jackie shoved

It was Thursday evening. Jackie was in her room getting ready for bed. Usually, she wouldn’t go to bed before eight, but she had to get up early in the morning. Gabriella and Jodi were fluttering around in her room like giggling teenagers.Nick had called Jodi earlier that morning and asked her to pack certain types of clothes for Jackie. Jodi swore up and down that he didn’t say where they were going. He also instructed Jodi not to let Jackie see what was in the suitcases. Jackie wasn’t happy about it, but Jodi had said Jackie should enjoy someone else taking care of the little details for a change. Jodi had hidden the suitcase in the hotel. Jackie had spent an hour trying to find it. No luck.“Get into bed,” Gabriella said to Jackie. “We don’t want you to have circles under your eyes when your el novio guapo picks you up in the morning.”“Her what?” Jodi asked with a confused expression.“Hunky boyfriend and he’s not my hunky boyfriend,” Jackie said. Jackie’s Spanish was terrible. T
