to yourself I’m not gonna stop you. Besides, I’m not Superman. I could do with a break myself.’
    I smile, running my thumb lightly over his slightly open mouth. ‘I really do want to take a shower with you.’ And I do. I’m not lying. The thought of cool water cascading down over our naked bodies as he fucks me hard is something I fully intend to experience before this night is over. But if he’s willing to give up five minutes of the time he’s paying for to let me catch my breath, I’m taking it. For both our sakes.
    ‘Do you?’
    I lean in to kiss him, because I like kissing him. And I may never get to experience this again so I’m taking every second and banking it, so I can remember this night. I don’t want to forget it. ‘Yeah. I do. Later, OK?’
    He smiles that smile and I allow my stomach the requisite jolt. It might as well enjoy it while it can. ‘I’ll get some drinks sent up, huh?’
    I nod. Fuck staying sober. I need a drink. ‘I won’t be long.’
    I get up and head into the bathroom, closing the door behind me.
    My five minutes alone starts now.

    She feels it, I can tell. It’s written all over her beautiful face, and if she knew just how confused I was, too, I know she wouldn’t feel half as scared.
    I hear her turn the shower on and I fall onto my back, staring up at the ceiling. I didn’t expect this. I didn’t expect to feel what I’m feeling right now, and it’s messing with my head, big time. I’ve never used the same escort twice, it’s not my style. I like variety. But, man, I’m not sure I can stay here, in Newcastle , for the next few days and not see her again.
    The shower suddenly goes silent, and I turn my head to look at the bathroom door. She’ll be out any second, and I need her here, back in this bed.
    I get up, grab the towel I’d discarded earlier and wrap it back around my hips before I walk over to the window. It’s dark now. The city’s lit up below us like a blanket of tiny coloured fairy lights. In the distance I can hear the faint sound of traffic and people and the general noise of a busy city on a Saturday night, but I feel so detached from it all. From everything.
    ‘Anything you feel like doing next?’
    Her voice drags me back into the room but I don’t turn around. I can’t, not yet. So when I feel her slide her arms around me from behind, feel her warm, naked body press up against me I’m relieved.
    ‘Everything OK?’ she asks quietly, her breath warm on my back.
    This time I do turn around, leaning back against the window-sill as I pull her into my arms. ‘Everything’s fine.’
    ‘I haven’t disappointed, then?’
    She says that with a smile, and I smile back. But then the smile fades, because nothing is funny or false about this now. ‘Stay the night, Kira.’
    My words have shocked her, I can tell because she lets go of me and steps back, creating a space between us that makes me feel slightly nervous.
    ‘I don’t do overnights.’
    It did state that, on her profile. But at the time I didn’t think it would be an issue. How the hell was I to know she was going to walk into that bar and turn my whole world on its fucking head?
    ‘Yeah. Yeah, I know…’
    ‘So you had no right to even bring it up.’
    ‘Kira…’
    She turns and heads over to her discarded dress that’s lying on the floor, and I can only watch as she slips back into it, covering that incredible body. And a feeling of emptiness washes over me to the point of pain. I need her to stay. I can’t let her go, not yet, even though the rational part of me knows that letting her go would be the safest option.
    ‘I won’t charge you for tonight, OK?’
    ‘No, Kira, it’s not OK.’
    I go over to her, gently taking hold of her wrist, anything to stop her from walking away.
    ‘Don’t go. Please.’
    She looks up at me, and there’s a confusion in her eyes that seeps right through into me. Because it’s the same confusion I’m
