Fixing my dress, I patted down my hair and pulled a smile as I walked into the cocktail bar.

I had never been on a bar crawl before, but if this place didn't work out, then I guess I was going to move on until I found what I was looking for.

My eyes raked over the highly expensive bar area, where people wore suits and women wore dresses with make up donning their faces to catch someone attention for the evening. Then there was me, little plain Jane, dolled up and trying to convince the world she is more than what she actually is.

There was were even waiters...

I should just go. I mean this is going to be way too expensi-

Turning, I bumped into a pressed and fitted suit.

"Oh." We both spoke before looking at each other smiling.

His tanned skin and black hair worked well, the slight stubble across his jaw was shaven until it was almost nonexistent but it was there if you took notice.

"H-hi?" He smiled nervously. His brown eyes sparkling under the stupidly expensive lights.

Yes everything was expensive and I intended to keep reminding myself so that I wouldn't blow all my savings in here for a good time. I mean, who even comes here?! It's Vegas dang it!

"Hey."

"I- sorry I wasn't watching where I was going. Business." He replied slipping his phone away.

"No harm done. Have a good evening." I smiled side stepping to slip past when he matched my step.

"Hey you're not going are you?" He asked looking around.

"I am. Sor-"

"Stay. Let me buy you a drink. I have a proposition for you."

My face fell and anger began to build "I am not a prostitute!" I seethed.

This time the guy looked at me in pure shock. "I- that's not what I meant! Please," he gestured to the bar stools.

In this dress? Boy you got no idea how hard that's gonna be.

"I'm not a prostitute." I reiterated before walking over to the bar with him.

"So what's your name?" He asked pulling out a card.

"Luna."

He paused looking at my face, even tilting his head slightly "Luna? I can see that. Beautiful name for a beautiful face."

I smiled slightly "Is this your way to apologise for the mix up then?"

"Yes.." he whispered desperately making me smile properly at his squirming.

"You're forgiven."

I was surprised to see how relieved he looked. "What would you like?" He asked.

"Your name. Then a drink."

"Alec. My name is Alec."

I tilted my head slightly looking back at him "Meh, I don't know if you are a Alec, Alexander? Definitely."

"I'll have a margarita." I added making his lips quiver to a smile.

When the bar tender drifted towards us, Alec ordered and paid the man as I looked around the bar.

Seeing no empty tables or couches, I attempted the bar stool in my dress and almost squealed in achievement when I got up with little problem.

"So Luna, why were you escaping?" He asked turning his eyes to me.

"E-escaping? I wasn't escaping."

He smiled "Just making a fast exit?"

"Kinda."

"What brings you here? Vegas?"

I sipped my margarita and smiled "I live here."

"As do I. How come we haven't bumped into each other?" He questioned.

"We just did and Vegas is a pretty big place."

He nodded in agreement. "I agree with you on that one."

"What brings you to Vegas?" I challenged.

"I work here, and live."

"Hmm. What do you do?" I asked looking at the business suit.

"I'm in retail, any problems within stores. I go and fix them."

"So.. You're a handy man?" I asked.

"No those kind of problems. More of cash flow, paperwork, Human Resources kind of problem."

"So like a business lawyer but not a lawyer?"

His eyes brows furrowed together as he pondered on that. "Yes just without the legal crap that's involved, yeah I guess you could call me that."

"So your Alec, business lawyer but not lawyer in legal crap?"

He laughed. "That is me. And you are Luna?"

"I am Luna, still photographer." I am considering I was taking Zak up on his offer, I would be stupid not too. Whether Aaron agreed or not.

"So....." He lingered making me look up from his shirt collar. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

***

The sound of the door hitting against something echoed throughout the room as Alec stumbled back into the room pulling me with him.

His mouth claimed mine as I pulled at his shirt wanted to get to the skin under it. Whilst he pulled at the back of my hair gently keeping my head angled to his face, I tried to remember how we got here.

~
"So.... So do you have a boyfriend?"

I smiled "No. Do you have a significant other?"

"Nope." He answered popping the 'P'.

Somehow the conversation kept going along with the drinks and soon the fuzzy feeling was back within my bones.

~

I gasped as his hands wrapped around the back of my thighs lifting me onto his waist. At some point he had lost his shirt, it was only when he kicked it aside that I realised we had got it off.

"You're so fucking beautiful." He whispered crashing down on the couch with me sat straddling his lap.

I grinned biting his lip gently, aching my back into his chest as he undid the zip on my dress. Once it was all the way down, I sat back and lifted my hands.
The dress flew up over my head and was tossed across the room.

"You- God you're amazing."

He panted looking at me. I subconsciously covered my bruise on my stomach. The movement made him frown "What happened?"

"Accident. It doesn't hurt. Just looks horrible."

His hand moved my arm gently "Don't cover it. It doesn't bother me."

"Really?" I asked looking at his swollen lips.

"Really."

The ferocity was back between us as we made out. He growled as I tugged on his hair moaning against his mouth wanting even more of the mint that came from his body.

I pulled away "I'm still not a prostitute."

He chuckled "Good cause I only have a card on me."

"You tell me they don't take card payments now? How last century." I frowned.

His laughter erupted making me smile as he exposed his pearly white teeth. "You Ms Luna really are something else."

"Why thank you Mr Alec." I replied latching back onto his mouth whilst his fingers brushed against my skin settling it alight.

It was at this moment you could probably say Aaron?!

And my answer would be? Aaron who....
