“Welcome to the Bishop Sunrise Hotel.”
“Koda, you can skip the formalities,” I joked with the owner of the hotel.
I had known Koda and his siblings for years. We weren’t exactly friends, but every once in a while, he would shoot hoops with us. Sometimes his brother came, too, but he was the police chief, so he was busy a lot.
“I’m being professional.” He smirked. “What’s good, though? I missed y’all last week. I had to handle some shit here.”
“I feel you. You know we’ll be there next week. Vincent and Devin might be there this weekend, though. As for me, I’m offthe grid.” I glanced over at London, then back to Koda. “This is my lady and baby mama, London.”
London hit me on the shoulder because she hated when I called her my baby mama.
She rolled her eyes, then spoke to Koda. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“You as well. I have y’all set up for the penthouse suite. Make sure you take advantage of all our amenities.” He handed us the keys to the room. “And don’t forget to check out the sunrise. If you two need anything, don’t hesitate to call the front desk. If anybody gives you any problems, call me, G.”
“I’m sure we’ll be good, but okay.”
The hotel had never gotten any legit bad reviews, so I wasn’t worried about anything. The few bad reviews they did get were some people on some bullshit. Every single staff member was on their shit, and Koda didn’t play that shit if they weren’t. For the cost of the rooms, they had to offer top-notch service.
I took the cart from the guy and led London to the elevators.
“I never stayed in the penthouse suite,” London said as she pressed the PH button.
“Good. I would hate to know that you came here with another dude.” I kissed her cheek.
“Have you ever brought another female here?”
She put her hands on her hips, and I chuckled. Her hips had spread from having Paris. London and I might not have spent a lot of time together that first night, but I committed every curve of her body to my memory in that short amount of time.
“I wouldn’t even play with you like that.”
I didn’t believe in doing the same thing as you did in the past. I knew some things were inevitable, but if I could help it, London and I would experience new things together.
When we arrived on our floor, the elevator opened directly into our room. We had the only keys except for the emergencykey at the front desk, but nobody would come to our room without notifying us first.
“This is amazing.” London’s eyes brightened as she stepped into the room.
Straight ahead was the sitting area, and behind one of the couches was a floor-to-ceiling window that gave a perfect view of the water. I wanted to go outside in the morning for the sunrise, but we could see it perfectly from our room.
I walked up behind her as she looked out the window. I pulled her into me and kissed her temple.
“You are amazing, baby. I know I’ve told you before, but I really appreciate you giving me Paris and allowing me to be part of her life. And also for giving us a chance. I love you, London.”
She turned and wrapped her arms around my neck. “I love you too, Genesis.” She stood on her tiptoes and initiated a kiss that I had to stop before we didn’t make it out of the room, and I had plans for us.
“As much as I want to stay in here and fuck you senseless, we have things to do.” I released her from my hold and put space between us. I had to calm my dick down before we left.
“Oh, we going outside.” She clapped. “Let me freshen up real quick because you got my panties wet.” She walked to the door where our bags were, and grabbed a small one, then headed into the bathroom.
While she did that, I took the rest of the bags into the bedroom. I made sure the thing I had to give her was tucked away where she wouldn’t find it. Her organizing ass would take the stuff out our bags and put them in the drawers or hang them up. I was nervous about how the weekend would go, but I was confident in my decision.
I sat on the chair and thought about how much things had changed over the last few months. Shit was great, and I had not one complaint.
“I’m ready.”
I stood when London came from the back of the suite. I walked toward her and grabbed her hand.
“So damn gorgeous.” I kissed her lips.
