This experience is yours.This experience is mine.And everything that happens in this alley belongs to you.Like a Lord of the World, Laurie strode, hee...s clicking, into a dark alley reeking of wet garbage and urine.At fifteen steps a large dark shape lunged. It clamped one hand over her mouth and nose. It pushed her head against the brick wall. It held a knife to her belly. It crushed all the breath out of her so that even if her mouth hadn’t been welded shut by she wouldn’t have had the air to. Most guys were like Mark and tried to avoid dancing to the fast songs. They’d wait for some slow love song, then try for a three-minute grope session. She did have to give Mark credit for not trying to feel her up. Still, one of the many things she liked about Darrell Ray was his willingness to match her fast dance for fast dance.Several songs later, they headed toward his table. Waiting for them were Dusty and Mack Adam Rhodes. Their father, Rufus, was nicknamed, “Rough.” This had inspired him. I had to find her. I drove the way round to the same traffic crossing and parked my car. The lunch hour was probably on in all the offices and there were flocks of people going to the nearby restaurants and hawker stalls. I roamed about the place and I crossed the same crossing as her so many times that I could have now crossed it in my sleep. There was no sign of her. It was madness, I told myself. What had I thought? How was it possible to meet the same woman, I had glanced in the morning.. ”“I really miss not waking up to you every morning. And not just for the awesome sex. Would you object to me staying over more often?” he asked.“Sweetie you can move in if you wish. I miss you when you’re not in my arms too,” I told him. He kissed me, but didn’t answer my offer other than to say, “Shower?”We got up and were soon busy with the day’s activities. He didn’t stay that afternoon and even went home without getting his fringe benefits. I was worried that I had scared him off. I worried.
