It’s not that running around the private rooms of this lounge is my idea of a grand old time. All things considered, though, peeling away from the crowd while we’re on a dangerous undertaking such as this is—fuck, why dance around it? The situation at hand is sexy as hell. I’ve heard that people who live in constant, relentless fear of their lives can succumb to a type of madness. Never, ever would I peg myself as the sort that’s susceptible to that kind of thing but then...

Here I am, feeling a rush of adrenaline and practically skipping with glee while I scour the place with Cole. Our hands are clasped—well, my hands and his organic one, anyway—and we’re prancing down the hallway as stealthily as we can while also keeping our speed up.

Passersby inspect us, heightening the tension of the entire operation. With each brush of my bare skin against his, I flirt with the idea of what actually being his lover might feel like. To have his hands roam my body, exploring every inch of me as I quiver, tremble, erupt with —

Stop it.

I have to focus, and this isn’t the way to do that. If only thinking that to myself and being aware of that were enough to make me forget all those delicious thoughts.

It occurs to me that in the span of only a few days, I had a complete change of heart about him. Once I looked into Cole’s eyes and could only feel a surge of anger, not least because of how he took it upon himself to engage my help and completely fuck up my plans in the process. So violent a development can only mean one thing: I’m falling for him.

Thinking the words and accepting the full impact of what they mean isn’t half as hard as I imagined. It’s the strangest thing. Almost like we were destined—some way, somehow—to meet.

Long after we’ve stopped coming across anyone, I finally locate an empty room. A private room. It’s still unclear to me exactly what the nature of this establishment is, but one thing I’m pretty comfortable wagering on is that these hidden quarters aren’t meant for innocent exchanges or trysts. They’re downright lecherous even in ambiance, with the dim lighting and the faint whiff of impropriety. It makes being here with Cole all the better.

I tap into the mainframe circuit that connects all the locks and other electronics in this little shindig. Smoothly, the lock clicks open, giving us access to the room. I sigh long and deep. Truthfully, I’m a little out of breath from it all. My dress, my hair, my makeup—they all come together to build this image of someone I undoubtedly am, yes, but whose skin I have to slip into at certain key, opportune moments. Frazzled as I am, it’s no wonder I can’t concentrate long enough to pull it off.

Thankfully, there’s no audience save for Cole. But we’re on a mission, which is a small comfort.
