I do and I pin her to the bed as I perform a few fast thrusts deep inside to really finish myself off.
    I fall onto my side, listening to the rush of breaths bursting through our mouths. Daisy slides closer and stares back at me, wiping the sweat off her face and chuckling softly to herself.
    “What?” I ask her, finally catching my breath.
    She reaches for the whiskey and takes a drink before offering it to me. I swallow a huge gulp of it, feeling it wave through my head as she kisses me again and forces me onto my back. With a quick bounce upward, she straddles me, nestling my spent cock between her folds and blood rushes to claim her again.
    “You’re not falling asleep on me, are you?” she asks me.
    I shake my head, admiring those perfect breasts in front of my face. “No way.”
    “Good,” she grins.
     
    ***
     
    I hear a gentle shift of feet along the floorboards at the edge of the bed. It’s so subtle, I almost ignore it completely until I remember that I’m not alone here.
    I open my eyes, blinking fast to adjust to the natural light barely bleeding into the room from the windows, and I see Daisy sitting on my chair in the corner. She bends down to tie her shoes, unaware that I’m watching her and I take the moment to admire her in silence.
    Her blonde hair sits to one side, falling elegantly over her shoulder. Her black eyeliner is a little faded from what it was several hours ago; wiped off along with the sweat on her brow. Her fingers flick fast to fasten her laces but she accidentally tugs it free, disabling the knot and she grits her teeth. She might still be a little drunk and that’s just adorable.
    “Hey…” I finally say.
    She glances up. “Hey.”
    “You got somewhere to be?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Like… right this second?”
    She pauses and her lips give the slightest smile. “No.”
    I reach out. “Come here.”
    There’s a moment of hesitation in her before she stands and walks back to the bed. I sit up as she plops down, crawling my arm around her to keep her close to me.
    “Thanks for celebrating with me.”
    “Thanks for the invitation.” She chuckles as my lips graze her cheek. “I bet you’re happy I showed up at the last minute.”
    “Oh, you have no idea,” I say. “I was this close to asking that old guy to come home with me instead.”
    She laughs hard and I study her face, watching as her nose curls up and those cheekbones poke out. Maybe I’m still a little drunk myself but I can’t get over how stunningly gorgeous this girl is in every single way.
    “Well, I’m happy to have been useful for once,” she says, her voice falling.
    Her face follows and she looks to the floor, casting shadows over her eyes and I remember what drove her to that bar in the first place.
    I nudge her chin back up and give her a kiss, letting it last for as long as she needs it to. Skipping to the end doesn’t necessarily mean we have to rush this.
    She pulls away and smiles. “Thanks, bar guy.”
    I grin. “Let me give you a ride home.”
    “No, don’t get up,” she says. “It’s not far. I’ll be all right.”
    “You sure?”
    “I’m sure.” She leans back in and plants a sweet kiss on my cheek before standing up. “Good luck. With your bigger, better things.”
    I smile. “You, too.”
    “Bye, Joey.”
    “Bye, Jenny.”
    She turns away and walks out. I listen to the sound of her shoes clacking against the floor, mapping her movement as she heads straight for the door.
    A few seconds later and she’s gone.
    My mind rattles with a sudden rush of adrenaline. It’s an odd feeling; one I’ve never quite experienced before and I’ve brought a lot of girls home with me from that bar.
    Maybe it’s because she’s the last one; the last one-night stand in Hartford before the next chapter of my life begins. The end of an era.
    I take a breath, letting it all sink in and a smile stretches across my face.
