weren't good at all. We were terrible together and I told you it's over. No, step back before I punch you in the head. I've had enough unwanted groping for one day.” She dodged another of his sloppy kisses.
He stopped at that statement. “Who the fuck touched you? I'll fuggin’ kill ‘em.”
“No. You'll do no such thing. Haven't you had a bit much to drink?” She moved over to the couch, but stood behind it instead of sitting down. She wanted to keep something between them at all times. After all, she was standing there in nothing but a terrycloth robe.
“I'll drink all I wanna drink. Come on, Lissy, I love you. I want cha back.” He plopped down on the couch and closed his eyes.
'Oh no you don't. You are not staying here.” She rounded the couch hoping to get him out of her space when he pulled her down on top of him.
“See, I knew you wanted me.”
She struggled to get free.
“Let me go. I mean it. Either let me go, or you're going to get it in the balls.”
He squeezed her tight around the ribs, making her yelp. “Hey now, there's no reason to bring the boys in on this. Unless you want to lick ‘em.”
“You're disgusting. Now let me go.” Her robe popped open giving him a nice view of her breasts.
“Fuck. I love those titties. Ripe and round, just like I like ‘em.” His tongue darted out of his mouth, licking the swell of one breast, making her sick.
“Rex, I said let me go. I mean it. If you don't I'll scream my head off.” She could still feel the nasty trail of his rancid saliva.
His arms fell open “Fine. Go. I don't give a shit.” As she struggled to get up, she pressed down on his lap to get leverage and touched his ‘very there’ erection.
“Hey, watch it.” He readjusted and pushed her off his lap.
She landed on the floor with a very unladylike plop. “Sorry about your thingy.” She pushed up from the floor.
“Yeah, well my thingy doesn't forgive you. What were you trying to do castrate me?”
She adjusted her robe. “Yes. I was trying to castrate you. Now will you leave, or will I be calling someone to remove you?” She walked to the door and opened it gesturing with her hand for him to leave.
“Fine, I'll go, but I'll be back. We ain't through.” He stepped out into the cold night air shivering.
“Yes, we are, and no, you won't. Stay away from me and stop calling.” She slammed the door in his face before he could respond. And that's when she decided she needed better security. The thought of Derek punching Rex in the head made her feel a little better. She took a look through the peephole and made sure he was gone then went back to the bathroom to clean up. This had to be one of the best-worst nights of her life. She just wondered if she'd done the right thing by getting Derek off. The poor man had been suffering for hours just as she had. It only seemed fair. Now all she needed to know was when he would show up in her world again.

CHAPTER FIVE
Lissa had endured yet another day of hell with Santa Claus, the pervert. She quite often pushed his hands away literally every time she turned around. She'd quit this stupid job if she weren't so desperate for money. She opened the velvet rope to let the last kid of the day through. “Hi, are you ready to see Santa, little girl?”
“No. My mom said I had to get my picture taken with him.” She shrugged her shoulders and climbed up on Santa's lap. The little girl sneered at the fake Santa and crossed her arms over her chest.
Lissa couldn't help but smile. She felt the exact same about the creepy tub-o-lard. She checked her watch again for the hundredth time and there he was, just like last time, standing very casually by the giant plastic reindeer. She opened the velvet rope, walked over to him and kissed him. It was just a short sweet peck, a promise of more to come.
“Hi, sweetheart, did you have a good day being Santa's helper?”
She shrugged her shoulders. “As good
