. A bar rested just off of the lobby, and Sky headed in that direction.At least she couldwatch television while Lee did the horizontal hello with a linebacker.As Sky crawled into avacant booth, she waited for the waitress to come over and take her order.Food was a long way from her mind.Though she was starving, it wasn t for anythingedible.Her dormant battery had been jolted with a jump from Cashmere.His words keptechoing in her mind, and she wondered if he would ve done all those things he said and more.She suspected he would, but why? She was more than 19 years his senior. Ah, there you are! came a shout as Lee appeared in the bar s entranceway.Excellent, now they could go.But Lee wasn t alone.The shadow the size of a small boulder was a breath behind her,but stopped abruptly at the bar s entranceway.Breathing heavily, she lifted her mask and wiped her face as she got to Sky s booth. Whew! What a kick ass party! Doesn t seem like you re done, Sky said dryly.Lee shrugged, giving Sky a small smile. Do you mind? I mean, taking a cab back tothe hotel? I m going to go with him over to New York, New York.His room.I don t want tobe without a car in case he gets all strange.You understand? Sure, Sky said, and she did understand.Her friend had scored and she hadn t.Thatwas always the case between them.Though linebackers weren t her type anyway. Here s a twenty to get you back. Okay. You aren t mad, are you? Lee asked, and the nervousness was clear. I I mean, Ithought you would hook up with someone, you know?Sky smiled at her friend.I m so glad it wasn t a stripper& I did meet someone, Sky said, patting Lee s arm to cheer her up. So, no problem. Really? How come you ain t with him now? Lee asked, suspiciously. You didn tlike him?That was the real question, now wasn t it? I, I--oh, God, Lee, he s in his twenties.A baby.Lee laughed. And? I m nearly forty, Sky said indignantly. As are you. So what? Everybody s falling in love or lust with whomever they want, Sky.Hell, ifhe was into you, you could bank on a night of zesty love.No drug could make up for a youngstud, girl.He probably doesn t care about you making more money than him or having abetter car, or anything stupid. You re kidding.Lee shook her head. See the big one over there.He s 28 and plays football for anarena football team out of Memphis, Lee confided. Said he wanted a mature womanbecause women his age act like they re still in high school. Yeah, his killer line? He found me stimulating. Hell, I dunno.He probably thinks he means it. Lee laughed. He might have beentrying to get up your skirt.That s what these parties are all about. You think, Sky said, smirking at Lee.Obviously, Cashmere wanted sex.But he seemed so sincere too.Even she had herdoubts when she learned he was white. Well then, he s probably over it by now. Skymuttered to herself, and felt a little bit doleful about it, before moving on to something else. Probably. Sky frowned as she leaned against the crinkling leather booth.Cashmere s words hadsounded like a compliment, and they felt all warm and electrifying.So, it must have been.Yes, that s it for certain. Oh, he has no idea how I'd want to stimulate his, uh& Sky! Lee laughed. See if he s still around because the look on your face is definitelyone of come screw me to heights previously untouched.Go find him.He might even still beupstairs.Grab him before someone else does.Do it or I m going to give you a big dildo foryour birthday, in front of everyone at the school s office party.Lee s eyes met hers.Red lined and streaked from cigarette smoke and fatigue, theyseemed hammered and ready to sink in the bags beneath them.Partying hadn t been pretty foreither of them. You wouldn t! Yeah I would.I only want you to have fun.You re my girl.But I don t want youtaking dangerous chances, you get me? So if this guy gives you bad vibes then scoot on backto the hotel.If he doesn t, go grab some. I know, but I wanted to do something fun for myself.Not that we haven t done funthings.The Blue Man Group was a great time, but& Say no more, Lee said waving it off with the swipe of her ring clustered hand. We ve all been in a bit of a dry spell.Divorce will do that.Still don t be afraid to give thegoose away to someone who s going to pay you back.In full, you get me.She shaped her hands around a long, invisible cock and stroked it.They burst into laughter. And he could ve meant every word that came out of his mouth.I can be as appealingas anyone.Lee laughed. That s my girl!The man s shadow fluttered into the entrance, followed by a raw cough.Lee put her mask back on and sighed. Well, I ll see you bright and bushy tailed in the morning! Be safe! Lee shouted,heading to the entranceway. Right.With a miracle, Sky would be at the panel tomorrow.She wouldn t be bright eyed andher tail wouldn t be bushy, but slicked back into a nice, proper bun.As the senior departmentchair for English, she had to appear well dressed, rested, and professional even during thisconference to Sin City.Respect was important to maintaining her role.A black woman caught being even alittle bit sensual got blown into something super sexual, whorish, and Sky couldn t toleratethat not on the job.So, she defied the stereotypes by presenting a professional appearanceand behavior at work.Deciding to skip the alcohol, Sky left the bar.Cashmere would be fodder for herfantasies, nothing more.But as she reached the lobby, a well dressed man in a hotel uniform was carrying a traywhich contained a bottle of wine and a matching pair of wineglasses.As he dashed by her, apiece of paper flew off.Picking it up for him, Sky scanned it and read that it was clearlylabeled Cashmere Martin, room 904.Lee s voice sounded off in her head.You won t even see this guy after tonight.Go for it, chica! It s now or never.The elevator doors opened and the room service waiter zipped in.Sky followed, blood racing as adrenaline saturated her
