“Looks like someone bought out the flower shop.”
                  Charlotte opened her eyes and JP was standing over her holding an armful of white roses. She checked to make sure her naked butt was covered and thank God, it was.
                  Soft morning sunlight poured through the floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bathed everything it touched a soft shade of yellow. Charlotte had decorated the loft in beautiful mid-century furniture and paintings she found in flea markets and vintage shops. She mixed in contemporary lamps and stacks of old books and assorted curiosities that caught her eye and begged to go home with her.
                  Finn walked in with Starbucks for all of them and said, “I’ll wager those are from the grumpy billionaire.”
                  She sat up as JP handed her the roses and there were so many she could barely hold them, they smelled heavenly.
                  She laid them on the coffee table, sipped the coffee and clutched the little envelope with the card, but she didn’t open it. “What time is it and what do you mean grumpy?”
                  “Well, he wasn’t very happy about us being here, my love. I believe it pissed him off, to be honest,” Finn said.
                  “I won’t lecture you, but I hope you used a condom, young lady,” JP said, smirking, “It’s a scary world out there!”
                  Just then a young woman wearing nothing but a Marine Corps t-shirt and a sleepy smile wandered through the open front door.
                  “Finn? JP?” she called out.
                  Charlotte rolled her eyes and said, “they’re over here, dear,” as the men tried to shush her.
                  She was a pretty girl, but wild looking, with black rimmed eyes and tattoos running down both arms.
                  “Hey, did you get me some coffee, too? Why don’t we go back to bed for a while?” the girl purred.
                  “They’ll be right with you, honey. I’m sure they’ve got some lethal weapons to show you!” Charlotte said.
                  The girl smiled and left the loft and JP and Finn laughed at Charlotte’s little joke.
                  “You two are just nasty, you know that? Did you both sleep with her?”
                  They got up to leave and JP said over his shoulder, “I wore a condom.”
                  Finn said, “So did I, several times.”

                  Charlotte opened the card after she’d showered and dried her hair. She lay on her feminine, pillow strewn bed and looked out at San Diego beyond her windows; it was a city she truly loved. It was bright and exciting, it pulsed with life and the weather was fabulous almost every day.  She would never go back to Mississippi, it had meant poverty and welfare and foster homes. Her cell phone was ringing again, she’d missed five calls so far, one from Witt and four from Alexander Bly. She knew she owed Witt an apology and she should call him, but he was not the man she couldn’t stop thinking about.
                  She read the card that had come with the roses, “ Don’t cum without me ever again, A.B.” The words made her face hot and the thought of him made her want to do exactly what he’d just told her not to. She was sick of her vibrator and her own hands, she’d felt that rock hard cock of his and it was what she needed. She looked at the ringing phone and wanted to answer, yet she was afraid of what his voice could do to her. She clicked the phone on but didn’t speak.
                  “Charlotte, why haven’t you been answering my calls?”
                  “I haven’t been answering anyone’s calls, thank you for the roses, Bly, and thank you for… last
