He had contained his pain until it morphed into a mist and a notion connected to the past, while now, the wiser man in me is curiously longing for that pain.

With clear eyes, I read into her soul.

I miss Elizabeth and never thought I’d miss anyone so much.

Beyond her appetizing body, alluring grin, and tender eyes, a curious, vibrant woman does her best to play this game.

It is a game after all.

Otherwise, she would’ve sent a full picture of herself.

Laughing, I type out a few messages and send them one after another.

A smile clings to my lips as I scroll through the gallery, searching for one clip in particular.

The one I recorded some time back.

Sexy as fuck, it will put a spark of lust in her.

It’s me entering her in that motel room.

There.

We’re back to doing naughty things.

“You’re having fun, huh?”

Gavin Livingston’s voice makes me instantaneously tap the screen and pocket my phone.

I slide a neutral gaze to him, trying not to look as guilty as I feel.

“I sure am,” I say, flashing a smile, diminishing the effect his abrupt appearance has on me.

“She isn’t married, is she?” he says, laughing and offering me a drink.

His gesture clearly indicates he's been looking for me.

I take his offering with a lazy smile.

“No, she isn’t. Married women are not worth the trouble.”

“Tell me about it. I swore off married women once I learned how badly it could affect my business.”

“You’re smart and correct in your assessment.”

We clink our glasses, and he tilts his chin toward my pocket.

“Anyone I know?”

Gavin and Bret Livingston have been a part of James Sexton’s business circle for a while. They never went away after selling a big chunk of their business empire to James.

Once you get a taste of making money on that scale, it’s hard to pull back and simply retire.

They’ve started several new businesses, invested a lot, and traveled around the globe like I do.

We run into each other occasionally.

Sometimes, it happens back in Colorado, while other times, we participate in the same business events here in New York, down south in Miami, across the pond in London, or on the other side of the globe in Singapore.
