The warm night air curls around us as we exit the theater and walk through Times Square. To think that yesterday I was on my hands and knees digging in the dirt and today I’m all dressed up and just watched a Broadway show. I’m living in a fantasy world, I get that, but I don’t care anymore. I’m just going to enjoy Alek and the little time we have together. When it’s all over, I’ll lick my wounds in solitude. Until then, I’m all in, game for anything and everything.

Anticipation dances in the air as Alek puts his arm around me and tugs me close. I revel in the strength of his hand on my body as we stroll through the crowded streets, which are so very different from home. There isn’t one familiar face in this city, and I’m sort of enjoying the anonymity of it. No one knows my business and I don’t know theirs. Knowing I’ll never set eyes on these people again is a bit freeing.

The energy in the crowd buzzes around me, and I feed off it. I lift my chin and smile up at the incredibly kind and generous man who set this all up for me. He dips his head, and need wells up inside me when he smiles. I’m going to have a lot of healing to do, it’s true, but how can a girl not fall for a guy like him?

Earlier this evening, after showering and dressing, I exited the bathroom to find Alek dressed in a suit that showcased his broad shoulders and athletic body. The man cleans up nice, and while he looked amazing in the suit, it was all I could do not to tear it off his body and make love to him on the king-sized bed. But he had dinner plans and tickets for the show, and now…well, now we’re going for a limo ride, and I can hardly believe I’m going to check that off my bucket list. Equal amounts of nervousness and excitement invade my belly, and a strange giggle climbs out of my throat.

Pleasure smolders in his eyes when they meet mine. “Having fun?” he asks as he tugs me closer, and drops a kiss onto the top of my head. My heart squeezes, my body so consumed with need for this man it’s a bit overwhelming.

“I am,” I say and melt into him as he guides me through the streets. Someone bumps into me as they walk by fast. “It’s a good thing I have you, Alek. I’d get lost out here.”

“You’ve got me,” he says, and I fight back the emotions beating my chest like a gorilla’s fists, warning of danger. The truth is, while I’ve got him tonight, there is no future. I’ll have to move on without him, but how can I ever think about being with another guy after our time together. It’s unnerving and—

Stop!

Okay, I am not going to think beyond tonight. I am only going to enjoy the now.
