Chapter 20

Tossing the remote control on the bed, Jacoby staggered over to the nearest chair to get his balance. He figured the eight shots of Corbel were the ones that had broken the camel’s back tonight along with his intake of several beers and other hard liquors. It was a good thing he had only used the restaurant’s bar because anywhere else and he knew he would not have made it back to his room.

Sitting in the chair before he fell on his face, he looked down at the bulge between his legs. Damn, he cursed sitting back in the chair. Tonight he had several offers from very beautiful women. Each one more beautiful and tempting than the other, yet he knew that none of them could satisfy him like Phoebe.

Soon as he got out of his clothes, he staggered over to the bed and laid down hoping he had gotten enough to drink to just pass out, but it felt as if he didn’t because as he stared up at the ceiling, he found himself wishing she was here.

The phone by the bed rung loudly and he picked it up, grateful for the distraction. Before he could get anything out to say, Desmond came on the line. “Shut your mouth, cover the receiver and just listen, all right?”

He wasn’t given a chance to answer as the line clicked then he could hear Desmond say, “No, I think I just missed her. I’ll catch up with her later. So what were you saying about Jacoby?”

“Like I said, Jacoby couldn’t go a second without having a woman. You know he’s a sex addict. I haven’t seen that man go seventy-two hours without being between some woman’s legs.”

“Which would explain why he was so irresistible to Phoebe?” Desmond asked.

“Jake doesn’t deserve a woman like Phoebe. He wouldn’t know how to treat a woman like Phoebe. You saw how he was with her.”

“And you would?” Desmond asked doubtfully.

“Of course I would. I have. Jacoby doesn’t know how to make any woman happy.”

“Obviously he’s doing something right. She slept with him twice.”

This information seem to incense Lawrence, as he growled, “And each time he’s had to pay. That’s doing something right?”

“Are you saying if he didn’t have the money, no woman would be attracted to him?”

“I think Jacoby wouldn’t know how to get a woman if he didn’t hide behind his money. Especially a woman like Phoebe.”

“You sound pretty serious about Phoebe, but you’ve been serious about a woman before then you turned around and pretended you had no feelings for her.”

“And I still don’t.” This was a pretty sore subject for Lawrence. “I’m going to go all the way this time.”

“And what was last time? For practice?”

“Shut the fuck up, Desmond,” Lawrence snapped. “If you’re going to sit on the sidelines and watch to see who wins, you need to keep your nose and your opinions to yourself.”

Desmond sighed gravely. “I just don’t see why both of you are making an ass over a woman who cares nothing about either one of you.
