““What’s wrong? Are you sore? Tired? I can slow down.” Rick grimaces. We stride through the alley toward the main canal, impatient and eager to minimize our exposure to the cold. “I got a little carried away in there.”
“No, you were perfect.” I smile and pat his cheek. “It’s just that I loathe paperwork. One of the perks of being a prostitute is avoiding the mountains of bureaucracy most desk jockeys have to endure.”
Rick turned a disbelieving stare on me. “You’re always a surprise, Star. Candid.... Direct. Honest. You’re kind of my idol.”
I can’t look away from the admiration mingling with the remnants of lust in his sapphire eyes. Distracted, I slip on a frozen puddle. I could catch my balance on my own, but I’m not about to shove off his strong arms, which bundle me to his cozy side.
“Careful.” His cinnamon-flavored breath washes over my cheek. When we reach the street, we both hesitate. Where do we go from here?
“May I walk you home?”
“Ah, that’s probably not a good idea, Rick.”MoreLess
