What if we topped off the evening at Raines Law Room and imbibed in dark Caribbean rum? The rum’s honey-tone reminds you of my glowing brown skin. The ice slowly melting in the glass conjures up visions of it melting and dripping all over my warm body. The more we talk, the more our affinity grows. Seemingly small intimacies set the stage for us to deeply delve into our underlying desires.

New York City is bustling with an abundance of art, tech, and science oriented experiences. I'm well acclimated to the city's vibrant and varied scenes and subcultures. We can go to a museum or to see a film or performance. Or we can nerd out at a board game cafe or a live coding event.
