Trevor walked into The Oasis. He had bought a VIP wristband and entered the room. The DJ was playing an old nineties song. Trevor had hung out in enough clubs in his day to know what it was; Poison, by Bell Biv Devoe. Everyone was wearing red, white, and blue glittering top hats. The Oasis was known to pass around wearable party favors for special occasions.            He was drawn to the commotion on the dance floor. After he wedged through a few patrons, he saw what was going on. A few of the dancers had backed up to let a group of girls dance in unison – and together.            Trevor’s eyes widened and his mouth dropped open at the sight of Clarice dancing with them. The ladies were in sequence with their movements. They lifted their knees up high like they w

            Trevor carried her into a large bedroom with large windows like the living room had. Joanna assumed it was the master suite. The city’s building lights coming from the huge wall size window, casting dim light into the room. He laid her down on the light yellow comforter like she was precious cargo. The pillow behind her head was fluffy and smelled like it had been laundered that morning.            He carefully climbed on top of her and took her mouth. As he was kissing her, she felt his arm graze against her chest. Joanna gently broke the kiss to see Trevor had loosened his tie. She reached up and started unbuttoning his shirt. He started pulling his shirt out of the waistband of his pants. She helped him. The only thing that could be heard was their heavy breathing. He repositioned himself where he was sitting on the side of the bed. Then he grabb

            Joanna couldn’t go with Trevor to the country club. Selena and Christopher would call her out in a second – especially Christopher. She had to get out of this.            She shook her head.  “I’ll . . . take my chances. I can meet them another time. It sounds like there is a lot on the line this time around. Too much pressure”            He gave her a curt nod. “Now, that you mention it. It would be a lot of pressure. Especially since you . . . are not the heiress I thought you were.”            Her lips parted at the remark. “You said that didn’t matter to you.”            “It doesn’t. But .

            Five weeks later . . .             Joanna had thought the first ten weeks with Trevor were the best weeks of her life – until the last five weeks she had spent with him. She didn’t know she could be this happy. Trevor had taken her to the country club as his guest. He had tried to teach her how to play golf. With him standing behind her trying to teach her how to swing the club every time she had to hit the ball, it made both of them horny. They hadn’t made it to the sixth hole, but to one of the landscaping sheds. Trevor had bent her over a work bench and plowed into her from behind. Afterwards, they had not been in the mood to complete the lesson. They had gone to the Hudson condo at the Waldorf Astoria and hit the bedroom for round two.            Tre

            Joanna opened her eyes. Her head was on Trevor’s chest. Panic struck her when she realized it was light outside. She turned to look at the clock. It was seven a.m.            “Oh my god,” she hissed. She lifted her head to look at Trevor. He was sound asleep.            If she wanted to get to the estate by eight a.m. she had to hurry. Joanna eased off the bed as quickly and quietly as possible. Trevor was a heavy sleeper but she didn’t want to test fate by being careless. Joanna couldn’t afford to have him distract her. Otherwise, she would never get out the door. Her plan had been to leave last night after Trevor had, but both of them had fallen asleep after they had made love.            Joanna was
