***Gavin's POV***

Saying goodbye to Sebastian and everyone else, I have been introduced to, was hard. It is odd how quickly the pieces move on the chessboard. One day you feel like a lonely pawn. The next, you are the queen. If you know me, I prefer being the queen. I am learning to release some people, while anticipating latching on to others. It is just the way life goes.

"So, one more day." Steph smiles at me. I see the water building in the wells beneath her blue eyes.

"That's the plan." I whisper softly while looking around the nurse's changing room. It has been a long summer. At the end, it was worth the experience. I have learned so much. I have treasured the time with these nurses who have become friends. I fully intend to stay in touch. Intentions are beautiful. The real work will be in the effort I put forward to reach out.

"I am going to miss you." Steph brings me in for a hug. I wanted this day for so many reasons. I still do. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, just a little. Stephanie has been wonderful. Her gossip, late night chill sessions and impeccable taste in couture will be missed, always. I will make a point to keep in touch with her.

"So, how is it with Mr. Manager." Steph bounces back from the pain of departure to walk right into my new favorite subject, daddy.

"Dry." I sigh dramatically over at my favorite nurse.

"You two haven't?" Steph gives me a look of pure atrocity. Her fingers form a dick and hole as she pounds her hands together. I roll my eyes. She's so fucking gross. I love her.

"We haven't kissed much, honestly. I feel like maybe Alexei is being a bit careful. I get it. I just don't want to be patient." I shrug my shoulders in false dismissal. Honestly, he is pissing me off. What's a guy gotta do to get a little dick. Well, it's a big dick, huge. I mean, he has worn sweatpants in front of me. He's going to split me in half. I can't wait.

"I know you are holding back. You should just seduce him. Remember, what was his name?" Steph taps her head with her index finger before snapping loudly into the air. "Justin!" The wicked gleam on her face reminds me.

"Oh yeah, Justin." I can't help but smirk. That was fun. The first week I was here, I had a fling with a bouncer. He was a tough nut to crack, in every way. Justin played hard to get. I played harder. By week two, I had that man crawling on his hands and knees. The things I did with my mouth would make a prostitute blush. Fun times.

"So, just get him there, leave him hanging. He will be begging to fill whatever hole you want." Stephanie wraps it all up Christmas style. I have to admit, I like the way she thinks.

Looking up to the ceiling, I roll my eyes. She is so vulgar. She's my people. I notice the clock and start grabbing the rest of my belongings from my locker. Goodbye to you, old friend.

"You have to leave?" Steph grabs my hips to pull me in for a hug. I can't even get my arms around her before she is wrapped around me. I kiss her head and run soothing circles over her back.

"I love you." I whisper in consolation.

"I love you, too. Text, call, FaceTime. Promise not to forget me." Stephanie pulls away as she brushes one of my curls away from my forehead.

"Never. Friends no matter what." I put my pinky into the air, curling the finger over in order to signal my promise.

Stephanie links pinkies. We both kiss our knuckles before letting go with a little wave from all of our fingers. Distance may separate us, but we will always be close.

"Be good. But, not too good. Stand your ground. Fall at his feet. Just don't let him push you around. Let him win, sometimes. Eat your veggies. Eat more cake than necessary. Call. Text. Invite me to the wedding." Stephanie practically heaves out advice while I walk towards the elevator. I press the down arrow so that I can start a new journey of my life.

I turn slowly as my bag slides down my shoulder. Who would I be without giving a show? I let the bag drop dramatically before hurling myself towards the spot where Steph stands. She is waiting. She always does. Her hands fly out in front of her, open and willing for the last hug she may get from me in a very long time.

As I reach her, I pick her up and spin her around, laying little pecks against her tear-stained cheeks. This blows. Not the good type of blow either, it just plain stinks. I move my head slightly so our cheeks can touch. How am I going to go back to the Hamptons when I have been here? Italy has spoiled me.

"Gav. Love you! Leave. Go." Stephanie steps away from me, eagerly flailing her hand back and forth. With a nod of acceptance, I go back towards the elevator to gather my stuff.

The ride down is slow. I guess I will miss this hospital. I will miss the laughs, the tears and most importantly, I will miss watching people walk out of here better than they were when they got here. It really was the best experience. These people come with a little hope and a lot walk away with a bright future. Dr. Reins is a world class doctor. His tenacity to attempt the impossible has won more often than not. I hope that I find a doctor to work with in Manhattan that can bring the same level of genuine human interest to the table. If not, I will use my fallback plan as one of J. Lo's back-up dancers.

As I approach the main entrance, I see him. My knight in studly armor. Alexei sits against a sleek sports car waiting for my arrival. Immediately, I ask myself, Justin who? This beef stick is Grade A meat and I want a mouthful.

"Did you get lost?" Alexei condescendingly asks.

"You should have come and gotten me." I shrug without any necessity. I mean, it's obvious. If someone is taking too long, you have to meet them half-way.

"You have a mouth on you." Alexei accuses.

"You wouldn't know." I throw my bag in the back seat before climbing in the front and buckling my seat belt.

"There is plenty of time." Alexei gives me a consolation prize of a single fucking kiss on my hand. Save that shit for princesses. I'm a queen. Ravish me, please.

"We have reservations for dinner at eight. Let's get back to the room and get you cleaned up." Alexei smiles sweetly. The last thing I want to do is get cleaned up. I want to get dirty. So, dirty. I want to feel this hulk of a man pin me down to the bed while I writhe in pleasure.

"You're quiet." Alexei turns down the radio as if to prompt me to speak. Instead, I turn towards my window to pretend like I am sulking over missing my friends. That ought to bring on the sympathy sex.

"Once we are settled at my place, you can set up a trip for Stephanie and Gail to come visit." Alexei offers gently. This is exactly the type of sympathy I do not want. I want his big ass dick stuck between my legs until I can't walk. Is that too much to ask?

The ride to the hotel is quiet. Alexei gave up on talking miles ago. I listen as the soft R&B plays lowly in the background. If you are going to play sexy time music, you damn sure better be putting out. It is only fair.

The car stops. I see the parking garage that is connected to our hotel. Without much in terms of speaking, Alexei leads me up to our room. We have been in this room three days. You would think, between the two of us, we would need our sheets washed, spare water bottles and a few dozen holes in the walls repaired. Instead, we have re-watched several seasons of The Big Bang Theory and every single episode of Revenge. I swear I have never wanted to smother someone with a pillow so badly in my life. I even watched television in my skimpies. How did Alexei resist? The world may never know.

"I will start the shower. Pick out something comfortable but, nice." Alexei walks right by me and into the bathroom. I hear the water turn on while I formulate a little plan. I got this.

Dropping all of my clothes at the door, I step into the shower. I barely make it over the threshold before I fall down, gracefully, while letting out a small whimper. That should do it.

"Are you okay?" Alexei offers his large hand as he uses the other to steady my elbow. Bashfully, I bat my eyelashes, letting a small number of fake tears pool up in the corner of my eye.

"Be careful." Alexei bends down to kiss my forehead. I grab his neck, letting my wet arms drip onto his white t-shirt.

"You're getting me wet." Alexei untangles himself from me quickly. This just pisses me right off. How?

"Daddy?" I whimper softly. I show him the minute red mark from my fake fall. I am glad that I used my elbow to catch myself. That boo-boo can get me at least a couple of kisses.

"Yes, babe?" Alexei looks down on me with all of his magnificent glory. I want so badly to rip his clothes off and mount him triumphantly.

Alexei catches on quickly, giving me a tiny peck against the reddened flesh. That won't do. I want more.

I slide my hands around his neck while simultaneously jumping up into his arms. Alexei barely flexes under my light weight. I latch on, sucking my lips against his skin. Alexei presses me against the shower wall. His lips find mine and I melt. I give it every bit of strength I have. My fingers tangle in his hair as I find my way into his mouth with my tongue. I moan beneath his skilled tongue. This is good. This is really good. I rock my naked hips against his abs as I try desperately to get his attention. Alexei responds by devouring my lips. His kiss is hot, sexy and so fucking arousing. I feel myself hardening. I want this man.

"Let me shower." I push Alexei off as I slide down his waist. I use my hands to guide him out of the shower. Once he is officially over the threshold, I close the door with a sultry smile.

"Okay." Alexei laughs lightly before stripping his shirt and grabbing a towel. I admit he doesn't seem nearly as upset as I think he should. I will deal with that in a minute though.

"Do you need anything?" Alexei taps on the glass door gently. I poke my head out, leaving the door open just a smidge more than necessary. He needs a good eye full of the goods in order for my plan to work. I smile when I notice him noticing my ass. I grab the sponge and hand him the body wash.

"My back." I request without any inflection.

"Yes, Sir." Alexei chuckles while getting the sponge ready to clean my skin.

When Alexei is finished washing my back, I feel his large hand caress my ass. Nope.

"Thank you!" I chirp as I turn to press my hand against his chest. I am invested in this new plan. I have to work it. I push him back out of the shower opening before once again closing the shower door.

"Let me know if I can help." Alexei walks away but I peek. I see him massage his throbbing cock between his hand and the sweats. One point for the queen.

After I make sure that I am clean, I hop out of the shower. I grab the towel to get all of the water that has beaded up on my skin. I smile when I realize that Alexei is attentively watching me. I throw in a few good sexy shakes of my perky ass while running the towel down my legs. When I finish drying my hair, I toss the tow at Alexei's feet.

"That was, interesting." Alexei comments as he follows me to the suitcase that sits open on the bed.

"Showering, bringing entertainment for decades." I smartly reply.

"Yeah, the shower." Alexei retorts. His hand rubs at the back of his neck. Two points for Queen Gavin.

"So, dinner?" I question while pulling my underwear up my legs.

"We can eat in." Alexei sits down on the bed, patting the seat beside him.

I take the opportunity to crawl into his lap, allowing my calves to wrap around his back. Alexei immediately grabs my ass, massaging the two hunks of meat in between his massive hands. I snuggle into his chest, letting him feel the merchandise.

Noticing how his pants bulge between my own legs, I decide, it is time to cut him the fuck off. I jump down, showing no emotion for the fact that we are both probably dying inside. I know that I want to cum on his face. He has to be feeling something along the same lines.

"Are you ready?" I ask quickly. I know he is not but, I have to get him on track to leave. I only have so much willpower to keep from climbing him like a tree.

"Two minutes." Alexei groans loudly. This causes a snicker to leave my lips. That's three. For me.

And so it begins....
