THE ONLY ONE

She moves across the room with the cat-like grace, her eyes fixed upon her prey. She will capture her quarry; she always does. One look in her eyes, one touch of her hand and they’ll be hers. For perhaps an hour. She needs what they give her, what I cannot. So I watch them leave and, turning back to the bar to nurse my drink, wait for her return.

I feel her warm curves against my back.

“Let’s go home,” she murmurs.

“Did you get what you needed?”

“Yes… but you’re the only one I want, that I love, Lauren.”
