Chapter 20

Sierra

I grabbed my cover-up from the coat check girl, and ran out of the Sanctuary. I paused at the top of the steps leading down to the street. People were still coming in, and a small crowd of smokers hung out on the flagstones at the bottom.

I got my bearings and went down to 6th Street that fronted the church. The subway station was seven blocks away. I had worn a light coat on purpose so I wouldn’t have to pay for a cab ride home. But apparently Victor was used to giving cab money to his girls. He had done it for me once before. It must be nice to be able to buy any woman he wanted.

I felt awful, like I had a hole pierced through my middle. Like something important was missing. The hope was gone.

While it was flattering to be desired by a man like Victor, I couldn’t stand being just another number in his phone. I wasn’t like Karla, okay with getting cab money from a man after he decided there was another woman he preferred for the night.

When I realized that he intended to have sex with me in the confessional, within minutes of seeing me for the first time in two weeks, it suddenly felt wrong. He was attracted to me, but that wasn’t enough.

Like I thought, we don’t have a relationship. He was on a date with another woman tonight, and he ducked out on her to mess around with me.

I was done with Victor. I didn’t do casual sex, and he didn’t do relationships. There was nothing else to say.

It wasn’t exactly the great last impression I had intended to leave with him, but it would have to do. I didn’t see any way forward for us.

My eyes stung as I turned the corner and hurried down Avenue B. I felt safer on the brighter lit avenue. But if I stayed the course heading south, I would pass Victor’s place a few blocks south of Houston.

Right now, I wanted to avoid Victor. When he touched me, I lost control. It was too seductive to fall into the pleasure he gave me. To let everything else go and surrender to him.

I had to hold it together and get out of here. When I was safe at home, I could fall apart.

I turned onto 5th Street and headed toward Avenue A. I didn’t want to risk running into him. That was a scarier thought than the darkened street.

But it was creepy in the shadows, cast by the trees blocking the street lights. I was hurrying along when a hand grabbed my arm. “Sierra!”

“What—“ I exclaimed, thinking it was Victor.

Turning, I saw it was Dick. “Dick! What are you doing here?”

He pulled me deeper into the parking lot. I took a last look down the block, but Victor was nowhere in sight.

“I’m looking for Lola,” Dick said. “Was she at the auction?”

I was shocked. “You followed me to find Lola?”

“Don’t you play all high and mighty with me, Sierra! I know you moved, and you didn’t tell me.
