Demi moved to the front of the gallery.

Leaving me alone with the penciled sketch of Riff and I kissing.

“What do I do with this?” I called out.

“I don’t know, it’s yours now,” Demi yelled back.

Just what I needed right now.

A drawing of Riff and I kissing.

A romantic kiss at that.

I would have been better off with a drawing of us having sex.

At least that wouldn’t have messed with my heart and tried to convince me I was actually falling in love with him.

I hadthe condo to myself.

That meant my crappy pop music as loud as I wanted.

That meant painting all night.

That meant doing whatever I wanted. When I wanted.

Not that it was any different when Riff was around.

Laid back. Goofy.

Kind of horny.

Obviously with Riff around, the whole horny thing was much easier to deal with. And a lot of fun.

Being alone?

It really wasn’t that fun.

Standing under the hot water did feel good.

But I missed Riff’s touch.

His hands at my hips.

His cock pressing against my back.

His lips kissing my shoulder…
