Summer heard the knock on her door and a smile crossed her lips. As she opened the door, she was greeted with the most delicious vision standing in her doorway. Bradley Lords in all his gorgeous glory. Dressed in a tux, he was an absolute picture of perfection. His eyes twinkled as he held out a bouquet of roses to her. She smiled and blushed just a little as her hand brushed his in accepting the beautiful gift.

She put the flowers in water, and then they were off for a night on the town. Vegas was alive and pulsing with energy tonight. Summer couldn’t wait! Ever the gentleman, Bradley opened her car door and helped her settle into her seat. She could hardly stop staring at him as they chatted on the drive to dinner. They pulled up to the Palms, and the valet helped her from the car. Bradley slipped his hand around her waist as they entered the hotel. Summer had never eaten at Alize, and she gasped at the breathtaking view from the windows as they were led to their table. The Vegas strip was spread before them like a beautiful buffet. As they dined on filet mignon and roasted lobster, she looked across the table into his eyes – those eyes she could get lost in. His smile sent heat to her very core. And when he brushed his finger across her lower lip to catch a dribble of butter, she thought she might just jump out of her skin as electricity flowed through her.

After dinner they headed out for the evening. Bradley wouldn’t tell her where they were going. It was a surprise. It was only a short jaunt down the strip before they parked and headed into the amazing XS nightclub. Summer could feel the buzz from the neon lights as the beat of the music echoed through her. They grabbed drinks and then a booth. Before long, Bradley took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor. They swayed and spun around to the music, and Summer never felt more alive. They headed back to the table to cool down a bit. As they sipped their drinks, Bradley’s arm around her shoulder, she saw two men approaching their table. She nearly choked on her drink. Oh my gosh! It was Nick and Ash! They all greeted, and Ash kissed her hand at the introduction. Bradley invited them to join them at the table, and to Summer’s amazement, they accepted.

They chatted about everything under the sun.  John looked at Bradley with a twinkle in his eye, “Mind if I steal your pretty lady for a dance?”

Before it could even sink in, Ash had Summer on the dance floor. He held her close as they swayed to the music, and she felt almost dizzy from the excitement. She leaned against him as they moved to the music and could feel his muscles through his shirt. The music was winding down, and as Ash tilted her chin to look in her eyes, she heard Nick behind her.

“Hey buddy, don’t be selfish. Mind if I cut in for a dance.”

Before Summer knew what was happening, the music was playing again and she was in Nick’s arms swaying to the beat. He gave her a devilish grin as he spun her around. They swayed and twirled around the dance floor until the music stopped. Summer’s legs could hardly carry her back to the table.

Back at the booth, they laughed and drank. Bradley had a protective arm around here, as if to signal Nick and Ash that he wasn’t keen on sharing her any more. It was nearly 2 am when they said their goodbyes and headed to the car. Summer could barely remember the ride home. All she could do was drink in the gorgeous figure in the seat next to her.

He held her hand as they walked to the door. Once inside, she poured them a nightcap. They stood on the balcony overlooking the city, drinking in the scenery. Bradley put his arms around her and pulled her close. He tilted her chin and gazed into her eyes. He leaned in, and Summer closed her eyes with anticipation.

She felt a soft, wet tongue on her cheek and startled. As her eyes opened, her dog Rocko was on her chest licking her face. She pushed him to the side and sat up on the couch. The TV was still on, and she was still flushed from her dream.

Damn, what a dream it was! I guess that’s to be expected when you fall asleep while doing a marathon watching old Gigolos episodes Christmas night to get ready for the launch of Season Six in the New Year. Summer smiled as she lay back again. My Christmas money this year is going to get me the greatest gift of all – a Cowboy!
