Excerpt from ‘Promise Keepers’:
My trench coat rustles with each step as I walk the darkened street. Each one flashes bare leg from the tops of my knee high, patent leather boots to the hem of the short vinyl skirt. My scalp itches under the black wig I wear, and I’m scanning the shadows from behind a mask of thick make up and dark shades.
Just another lady of the night looking for a customer.
Twenty feet ahead of me, a shadow detaches itself from a pool of darkness. There’s the faint animal shine of eyes as he looks in my direction. When I’m closer, he asks, “Are you lonesome tonight?”
“Maybe.”
“How much?” Like all of them, he needs to touch, raising a hand to let one fingertip trace the line of my jaw as I stop in front of him.
“Depends on what you want,” I reply, letting a coy smile curve my lips.
“You, a bed, a few hours,” he smiles back, blue eyes gleaming.
“Few hours, nothing kinky?” At his nod, I tell him, “Two hundred.”
“Done.” He’s drawn very close, smiling down at me.
