standards?
    “Do you live alone?” he asked.
    Before I answered his question, I drank some wine from my glass again.  My head was swirling again and I started to wonder if I’d had enough. 
    “Yes, I live near the restaurant. But it's not really a place that I could invite you over.  I quite often think that a gorilla’s cage in the zoo would be bigger than my apartment.”
    He looked at me sadly, and put his hand on my hair and started caressing me again. 
    Shivers ran through me as he touched my cheek lightly with his large hands. 
    “This place is bigger than I could ever use.  There are rooms here that I have never even been into.  You can stay here as long as you like, you know…”
    I stared at his lips smiling.
    Placing my index finger on them, I removed a drop of wine that he didn’t notice was there.
    “Sit back down,” he stated.
    I was in no position to argue.
    When I sat back on the couch, Damon sat in front of me and began to massage my feet. 
    Could this man be anymore perfect?
    Why is he bothering with all this sensual stuff? 
    Can’t he tell that I want it now? 
    I wanted to shout at him that I am ready but then his strong touch began to caress the soles of my feet. 
    Oh…
    All the worries in the world disappeared at that moment.
    Years of standing up while working were built up in the stress of my feet.  Damon easily unlocked that stress with the slow movement of his strong hands.
    I wanted to talk to him but he was sending me into a daze.
    “You really are a stunning woman,” he began.
    I didn’t know how to reply.
    “Even in the restaurant… I've always stared at you, trying to make eye contact,” he continued, “I wanted to know you.  I wanted to hold you.  I wanted to be next to you.”
    I was already lost in his seduction. I think I wanted it more than him.
    The desire became too much.
    I leant forward and grabbed his face with my two hands, moving his head towards mine.  Slowly, I brought us into kiss each other.
    The air between us became electric.
    My lips landed on his and I tasted the sweet lust.
    Wow…
    Our kiss set my body alight.
    His hands began to wander all over my body, feeling my exposed kiss.
    I wanted him.
    I needed him.
    The loud clock on the wall rang loudly and interrupted Damon’s focus.  He looked away from me and at the clock ringing midnight.
    No…
    Don’t pull away now.
    “It’s already midnight,” he stated as he pulled further away from me, “You should get some sleep.”
    I was shocked.
    I felt like Cinderella.
    I couldn't think of one thing to say as he led me up to his bedroom. 
    I followed him mindlessly, wondering what was happening.
    Was he repulsed by me? 
    Was my kissing not good enough for him?
    “Here, this is your room,” he pointed into one of the guest rooms, “I hope it will be comfortable enough for you.  If it’s not, let one of the staff know.”
    “Are you coming in?” I asked nervously as I entered the room large enough to fit my whole apartment.
    He smiled and shook his head, “No.  My bedroom is down the hall.  I will see you tomorrow.”
    Had I done something wrong?
    What did I do to upset him?
    As he walked away, I wanted to ask him. 
    I wanted to stop him and drag him back into the room. 
    I wanted to devour his stunning body.
    But he clearly didn’t want that.
    I really felt like I had been perhaps falling for him over the course of the night, but maybe he hadn’t felt the same.              
    Had I blown my chance?
    But my chance at what? 
    I was more disappointed about missing the opportunity with the man, than the thought of the money.
    With the thoughts crashing through my head, I got ready for the night of sleep.
    Again, everything that I could have required was waiting for me. 
    Just before I turned the lights out, Damon stepped back to the entrance of the room and saw me in the beautiful silk nightgown. 
    Has he come back for love?
    “If you need anything don't hesitate to
