Adonis's Dream

"What's this place?" Elizabeth asked. They'd just finished a workout, and while Elizabeth was eager to get Adonis back to her place, Adonis had a detour. They stepped into the empty warehouse, a rat scurrying to the safety of darkness.

"This is my dream," Adonis whispered.

"To own an empty, rat infested warehouse?" Elizabeth asked, cocking an eyebrow wryly.

"No," Adonis said, laughing and swatting Elizabeth's ass. "To turn this place into a gym. Adonis's Gym. Do for other people what I've done for you. Just need some capital to get it started. And the right woman to support me." He looked at Elizabeth with a serious expression, and she bit her lip.

"Well, should probably start with an exterminator," she said, joking to lighten the mood, but the import that he desired her as more than a fling was clear.
