kisses up my neck and caresses my skin, and I know that I will never feel like this for anyone else. He captures my lips, slipping his tongue between my teeth, and I kiss him back with a fervor unmatched. This is pure need intensified by every stroke of his tongue.
    He releases my lips, making his way down my abdomen and toward my center. Everything in me tightens up. With one swipe of his tongue, my body convulses, and every place he touches me ignites like an inferno.
    He laps at my folds and traces me with his tongue greedily. Not a drip of my juices gets past his lips. He’s a man starved… for me . I call out his name as everything in me tightens in anticipation of release. The pleasure is almost too much. When his finger dips inside of me, curling to hit just the right spot, I lose all self-control, bucking like an animal to get closer to his mouth. I ride the waves as they crescendo through my body, my moans and mewls only serving to push him on.
    “My God, that was incredible,” I stammer.
    He pulls me into him so we are spooning. It isn’t long before I hear his breathing level out.
    He’s asleep.
    If anything it should be me. I’m bone tired after the delicious havoc he wreaked on my body. I cuddle into him, completely happy to be here. I have never wanted something or someone this much, and it scares the ever-living shit out of me. I'm in love with him. I would give it all up for him just like he asks, but am I making a mistake? I’m just some middle-class wannabe nurse from the middle of New York. His father is a renowned surgeon. I will not be worthy of them.
    There lies the root of the problem.
    My self-deprecation knows no bounds. I’ve never felt good enough. My sisters are so accomplished. Sam is a high-level executive at an ad agency, and Courtney has worked for the governor and now owns her own spa. I feel positively ridiculous next to them.
    Your sister dates a porn star.
    True story, but he’s a reformed porn star who now operates his father’s mega business, so everyone looks past his short stint in smut.
    “What’s going on in that mind of yours, beautiful?” Tommy says sleepily.
    “Nothing, just thinking.”
    “About?”
    “Us. Me. Everything.” I shift to look at him. “I get why you want me to quit, but do you understand why I’m hesitant?”
    He shakes his head no.
    “Burlesque is my escape. I may not tell my family about it, but I enjoy it. It’s my release. When I’m on that stage, nobody else is around. I feel like it’s just me and the lights. I feel bigger than everything. Nobody is comparing me to my older sisters.”
    “Who’s comparing you? From what you’ve told me, one sister dates someone who was in porn, and the other lost her job because she was fucking someone on the job. I’m not really seeing what there is to compare. You’re a nursing student making your own way. You’re pretty badass.” He smirks.
    “I am pretty badass.” I smile back. “Thanks, Tommy. I know you don’t know my sisters, and I don’t want you to get the wrong idea. They are amazing. They’d kick my butt if they knew I felt inferior to them.”
    He nods. “Court’s my best friend. You’ll love her. I can’t wait for you to meet her.”
    He stiffens beside me.
    “What? Don’t you want to meet them?” A voice in my head is screaming I told you so.
    “Absolutely. I’m just nervous. A dad of three girls…well, those are the type of men you fear.” He looks damn near ill at the thought.
    “Nah. He’ll only show you his guns, and I’m not talking his biceps.” He pales further, and I throw my head back in laughter.
    “You big baby. He’ll love you. Just like I do.” I lean up on my tippy toes and plant a kiss firmly on his lips.

    T he next morning I’m up bright and early and back at the hospital. The day goes by quickly until Dr. Chow calls me to his office.
    “Tiffany, come in please.”
    “Hi, Dr. Chow. What’s up?”
    “We had a second shifter call in,
