Spoiler Alert: The following is a work of pornographic fiction, an adult fantasy that is shallow on story and steep on sex. It contains graphic sex between consenting individuals over the age of 18. It does not contain deep characterization, long narratives, or a complicated plot. It is recommended that the reader decide what they are in the mood for before proceeding.
It is said that some women covet the idea of wild, uninhibited sex with a handsome mystery man. That a night with someone they hardly know and will never see again, frees them of inhibition and anxiety. On New Year's Eve, 2011 Haddie found herself in just such a mood and with the perfect opportunity.
The streets outside the Lancaster Building, a tall residential building in Lower Manhattan, were still decorated for Christmas but had that unique buzz that can only be found in New York City on New Year's Eve.
Standing at attention beside the front door was not the usual doorman, yet he seemed vaguely familiar. Haddie Mills watched as he held the door for several other building tenants. There was the older woman from the second floor, the large guy that lived on the eighth, and the two stewardesses that shared an apartment on the nineteenth. He greeted each with a million-dollar smile and a friendly nod.
As she approached the door, he said, "Happy New Year Ma'am."
"Thank you," Haddie replied, stepping into the lobby. "Where's Roy? He usually has the Saturday evening shift."
"He's got the night off. I came back to fill in for him."
Her amber eyes met his, "Came back?"
"Yeah, I worked here while I was going to physical therapy school. When I graduated and got a P.T. job I quit being a doorman. I'm back for the night because Roy always covered for me when I had to study. He had plans for New Year's Eve, I owed him, so I said I would cover for him."
"I thought I recognized you. You must've left about the time I started."
"That's right, you're the Walkers live-in nanny right?"
She blushed at the thought that the handsome stranger knew something about her, "Yes, yes I am."
"How are they? I haven't seen them tonight."
"They're spending the holidays in Europe."
"Wow, it must be nice to be super rich. They didn't take you?"
"Nope, just a family trip."
"So you were alone in the city for Christmas?"
Haddie unconsciously curled a lock of her long red hair around her finger as she said, "No, just New Year's. I went home for Christmas, and got back yesterday."
"Where's home?"
"Cleveland."
The doorman looked surprised, "No way?"
"Yeah, why?" Haddie asked, enjoying the banter they had going.
"Well, I got a great physical therapy job in Cincinnati. I'm moving there in a few days."
"Hey, good for you. Is that why you were willing to work on New Year's Eve?"
He grinned a sexy smile, "You got it. I'm Kyle by the way."
"Haddie," she replied, extending her hand.
As the two shook hands Kyle noticed the square, flat box suspended from the fingers of her other hand by a thin red ribbon.
"Shaylee's. The best gingerbread in town."
"How'd you know what I had in here?" she retorted.
"I didn't know what you had in the box. But I do know that Shaylee's has the best gingerbread in the city," he declared.
"I agree, that's why I picked up a whole cake. It's my New Year's Eve date. You like gingerbread?"
"Absolutely, I'm a big fan of all things ginger. Gingerbread, ginger beer, ginger chicken."
With a flirty tone, Haddie cut him off, "Ginger girls?"
Kyle smiled an alluring smile, "Most of all ginger girls."
Balancing the box between her fingers, her sensuously full lips puckered as she said, "As much as I like it I don't think I can eat a full cake. Would you like some?"
"I would love some," his deep brown eyes now had a sparkle.
"All right then, make a trip up to the top floor and hit the buzzer when you're on break."
"That's nine o'clock," he said with a nod, holding her gaze.
"The ginger will be ready," she replied in a sultry tone. "See you then."
As the elevator door closed behind her she whispered, "Maybe there will be some New Year's fireworks after all."
Haddie grinned to herself while thinking naughty thoughts as she entered the Walkers luxury residence. She plucked off her beret-style winter hat and slipped the double-breasted wool jacket off before making her way to the kitchen.
