At the door of their room, Willow stood next to Rider…
““At the door of their room, Willow stood next to Rider while Decker unlocked the door. It was then she noticed the naughty red lace underwear hanging out of Rider's pocket. Rider was startled when his wife's hand dove deeply into his pants pocket. But before he would ascertain her actions, the clerk opened the door and turned to hand him the key. For a split second the man's haughty mein slipped, then he handed them the key and hurried back down the stairs, his shoulders quaking with suppressed mirth. "What was that all about?" Rider asked his red-faced wife. She whipped the offensive item out of his pocket and dangled it before his eyes. "It was hanging out of your pocket and I was afraid he'd see it," she explained. Rider swooped her into his arms. "Instead he got to see my anxious bride fondling me." He laughed. Quickly over her embarrassment, she chuckled. "Maybe he was jealous." "I know I would be," he replied huskily, and kicked the door shut behind them.””
