Although, admittedly, it had been years since she’d stepped foot into a club back home, yet somehow she didn’t think the eroticism would be taken to such great heights. The entire trip had been erotic. The combination of public sex and acceptable nudity had amped up her need for sexual satisfaction and broke through all of her inhibitions. But she was fully aware Jack had a lot to do with her transformation. This trip was exactly what she needed and for a few hours, she had forgotten her troubles. As soon as they returned to the Jeep and she looked at her BlackBerry, she couldn’t hide from real life any longer. Two e-mails from her mother were waiting for her, demanding to know what happened to the credit cards. But Sterling was having too good a time, and she wasn’t going to let anything, or anyone, spoil it. After the beach, they checked into a hotel and showered. Sterling slipped on the little black dress and lingerie Penn had packed for her and following an afternoon spent in the nude, Sterling felt pretty damn good about how she looked when she scrutinized herself in the mirror.
