weren’t false.”
    “I also didn’t seduce a twenty-one year old kid for money.”
    “Leave me.” Her color was high. “Now.”
    “Is that how it’s gonna be Joyce? You’re going to play with your new toy until you get bored?”
    I was goading her.
    She was playing directly into my hands.
    “Maybe I will!” She threw the magazine at me as I stood. “Luca is twice the man you are.”
    “Perhaps.” I inclined my head, “But you’re less of a woman for lying to him.” I pointed at the machines. “How long Joyce? How long do you have if this all goes away?”
    Fear radiated from her entire body. “Not long.”
    “I can fix that.”
    “What? You’re suddenly God?”
    “Everything…has a cost, Joyce. Everything.”
    Her steely eyes narrowed.
    “And it’s time you pay up.”
    “I don’t understand.”
    “Not now.” I opened the door, “But soon, very soon, you will. Have a nice evening and be sure to say hi to Luca for me.”
    I left the room and was intercepted by Jim in the hall.
    “Did you get it?” I whispered under my breath as we walked briskly towards the exit.
    “Recorded every damn word…you sure this is what’s best for Luca?”
      “He needs to be hard. This world…it isn’t meant for us.” I swallowed the dryness in my throat. “Better he learn his lesson now, better he take what’s his for the taking before it’s too late.”
    “Right…” Jim whistled. “I guess I’ll set everything up for this evening.”
    “No…” I grabbed his shoulder. “Give the kid another day with her before it all goes down…he deserves at least that.”
    “You think it a kindness to give him heaven only to send him to hell?”
    “I think it a kindness that he experiences heaven at all while on this earth, obey me in this or I’ll be carving out your heart before dinner, capiche?”
    “Yeah,” Jim croaked, “Yeah Frank, I get it, no need to put me on ice.
     

CHAPTER SEVEN
    We made love under the stars… our love affair lasted two days. Two days of knowing that you were one with your soul mate. Forty-eight hours of awe inspiring seconds that turn into minutes, that pour into hours where you lie to yourself and tell yourself it will last forever. Forever, my dear, is a very long time. I should know… because I’ve been missing your Uncle Luca exactly that long. – Joyce Alfero
     

     
    H IS LIPS WERE MADNESS , coaxing me toward the ledge, begging me to jump with him. He teased as much as he fulfilled my every desire.
    “I love you.” I whispered against his mouth. We were back at his apartment, wrapped in blankets, having just finished Chinese. It wasn’t the most romantic scene a person could witness, but as he’d said before. It was us.
    “Joyce, I’ve loved you since I was a boy.”
    “And you’re a man now?” I teased. I was older than him by five years, not that it mattered, the heart wants…. well mine wanted him.
    He nipped my neck, then ground his naked body against mine sending shivers of pleasure all the way down to my toes. “I don’t know, Joyce, you tell me?”
      I reached for his length, “All man.”
    “Damn right.” He moaned, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as he turned me onto my stomach and pinned my arms above my head. I felt vulnerable but with him always safe.
    “Forever.” His gruff whisper was wet against my ear as his lips moved in a sensual rhythm matching that of his hips. He drove into me over and over again, promising forever, promising things no man has the power to promise.
    And the worst part?
    I believed him.
    Just as much as I believed in us.
    We made love for hours.
    And then, something peculiar happened. Around two am, the neon sign flickered.
    Signs flicker all the time.
    It shouldn’t surprise me.
    But this flicker hit me like a warning.
    Time’s up… it said.
    I burrowed my head against his chest and ignored the warning bells ringing through my body.
    I was being paranoid.
    Four hours later.
    I
