Chapter 21 Jacksonville, FL I WAS ABLE TO get out of the office a little after five, and when I got home, I found Mike facedown on the bed, naked and waiting. “This is a nice welcome,” I said, as I stripped and prepared to pounce. He wiggled his ass in response, and I rose to the challenge, which is why we arrived at the wine shop a little later than usual, but it was for a worthwhile cause. The minute Jackie saw me walking toward the counter, she raised her glass in my direction, and said, “Here comes our very own television star.” “I can’t help it if camera operators seem to prefer blond men. What are we drinking?” Crystal walked up to us from the back of the shop in time to hear me ask that question and said, “We’re about to try this one.” She held up a bottle of Penfold’s Grange.
