insists. "Coming from your perspective, this must be a crazy thing to do."
    "Well, it's not like I haven't had one-night stands before, so –"
    "That's not what I am talking about," he interrupts me again, shaking his head. "I am talking about accepting an invitation. Just like that. Without an inner struggle with your – highly admirable – ideals. When have you ever done that?"
    I sigh and lift my hand to touch his on my face. I take it and gently move it down, away from my cheek.
    The disappointment I see on his face as I do it almost breaks my heart. And it helps to vocalize my decision.
    "You're right," I whisper. "That would be something new."
    I smile at him. That smile widens as I see him smiling, too. A boyish smile that makes him look younger and insanely attractive.
    "And I like new things," I add.
    He laughs and shakes his head.
    "Oh, Nicky," he says. "I might have to punish you for being such a tease."
    "That sounds promising," I reply. And I mean it.

CHAPTER V
    Nicky
     
    "Remember, you're cool with this," he says as we are standing outside the bar to wait for the cab that he has ordered, while I took the time to let Yuka know that I am not coming home tonight.
    "I am not planning to put up any more fights," I say, leaning against him.
    "You better not."
    He puts his arm around me and squeezes me. The night is chilly and I am not dressed properly for the current temperatures. His body's warmth feels comfortable on many levels.
    Being the perfect gentleman, he has me wrapped in his jacket as we are standing close to each other. The way he puts his arm around me does remind me of a predator with his prey. And I welcome it.
    A black limousine approaches us and just as I am about to make a joke about who on earth would drive a car like that in a neighborhood like this, the vehicle stops in front of us and Evan steps forward to open the door for me.
    "Are you kidding me?" I exclaim as he waits for me to get in.
    "Remember," he says. "No more fights."
    I raise my eyebrows at him, but follow the gesture and get into the car. It is not very big, but still the most expensive and most exquisite car that I have ever been in. The leather of the seats is ridiculously soft and the entire equipment has more style and probably more money than anything I own.
    I feel utterly out of place in my used up jeans and a cheap t-shirt. There is an instant concern about the filth that I am adding to this completely over-priced transportation device.
    "This was not part of the deal," I whisper as the driver – whose face I cannot see since we are separated from him through a blackened glass wall – starts the engine.
    Evan reaches for my hand and gently squeezes it. "I am sorry. I hope you don't feel tricked."
    "A little," I whisper. "But I might be willing to forgive you."
    He looks over to me, again with that boyish smile. "Guess you didn't expect your night to turn out like this?"
    I shake my head. "Certainly not."
    "Isn't that a good thing, though?" he wants to know. "Unpredictability."
    "It is for me," I say. "But I am sure you wouldn't agree. You are the one in control, after all."
    He smirks as if I caught him doing something naughty.
    "You're right," he whispers. "Would you mind if I continue to do that? Exercising control."
    "What do you mean?"
    I look at him expectantly as he fixes me with his dark eyes. He looks like someone who has a secret that he is shy to share. His intense gaze scares me a little – but it also makes my heart race. I would never openly admit it in front of him, but I cannot wait to get to where ever he is taking us. And continue to explore what that intense kiss has promised.
    "I like to be in control," he finally says. "I can't tell if you have experience with it or not – but I think I can show you a lot and give you a lot of pleasure, if you are willing to give yourself to me the way I would want you to."
    I look at him, slightly confused. Without saying a word, I search for an explanation by
