"You make me sound like a Palm Springs
walker. like some international gigolo hovering
around wealthy available women whether it be in

"Well, from now on. you're the only woman

champagne. He poured us each some more. Then the

away, but I was allowing it to happen. I was caught in
the wind of our passion. Resistance was futile. I hadn't
realized how much I wanted to surrender to its power.
