Madison

I have had to work very hard not to stare with my mouth wide open at his impressive physique. Seeing him from the front as opposed to just his back when I caught him in his home gym, is a whole different ball game altogether.

This man is like a GOD, with his broad shoulders and impressive pecs, his arms have biceps on his biceps then there are his abs, I mean WOW. They're more than impressive and as we finally get back into his house where the lights are on, I can see how defined he is. I have to remind myself to keep my hands to myself.

As much as I cannot stand this man, I am having difficulty with itching fingers that are dying to trace each and every defined muscle. His V is on display and jeez-us I can feel myself getting wet down there. I hate this, I absolutely abhor how my body is acting like a crack cocaine junkie when my mind knows everything about him is just wrong.

He is a womanizer, a man-whore, a man-slut and every other term I can possibly think of right now, alarm bells are going off in my head because his pull is magnetic. He glances at me as I carry Belle in one arm. "You are staring at me, Petal. Do you see something you like?"

Oh, the arrogant fuck. "Not really. I've seen it all before."

"Not like this you haven't. I bet you've not seen a man who looks as good as me."

"Oh, please! Who do you think you are, Adonis?"

"Ah, so you think I could be?"

"Not likely. Get over yourself, Stone." Yet, I am transfixed, I am rooted to the spot as I look at the tattoos that cover his pecs and his shoulders, I love ink on a man and these designs are incredible. My non-sensible side, you know my traitorous body wants to throw herself at his feet and pull his pants down and see how big his cock is, I bet he's wide and long. I have to stop thinking like this.

He chuckles, his dimple on display as he cocks his head and says, "you'll be in my bed soon, Petal and I'll show you a good time, all those other boys you've been with will be a distant memory for you. I'm all man."

"I will never be getting in your bed, Stone. You can forget that idea right now. You're full of shit." I huff off with Belle not only because he just plain old irritates me, but because I don't trust myself so close to his half naked body.

Is it hot in here? It is hot in here, or is it just me? I've not had sex for a while nor seen a half-naked man in some time come to think of it, yeah, that's what it is. Just a primeval instinct.

I place Belle on the floor so she can go get some water and her dry food, she trots off merrily happy with herself after her walk. I on the other hand am angry with myself for being so attracted to a man as vain as Alex Stone.

Yet, I would dare anyone to look at that man and not feel something. Shit, I have to get through six months of this. What I need to do is try to stay well clear of him, especially if he's going to be practically naked and in my face. Although, it was cute of him to take off his hoodie and give it to me to keep me warm.

WTF stop thinking like that, don't even use cute when referring to Alex Stone. Girl, get a grip right now. Easier said than done. There's a knock at my door.

I groan because it can only be him, I hope he's put a top on at the very least. Slowly, I open the door. Belle trots over to investigate. Dear God, he is standing there still with no clothes on his body, well except his pants that is. His one arm is resting high on the door frame, and his head is cocked to the side. I almost swoon in front of him. Belle is now at his feet, yeah, I bet he loves that a woman falling at his feet. They're usually the brainless kind and Belle is definitely not brainless; I click my fingers to encourage her to come back in the room. The little traitor doesn't and rubs her head on his legs. He smiles down at her.

"Hey Belle, cutie, you want cuddles." This big man bends down and picks my baby girl up and holds her to his magnificent chest. Well, if that doesn't make me melt then nothing does. I am hating the insanity of myself reacting to him, right now. He looks too friggin adorable cuddling her, she fits in the palm of his hand they're so big.

"What do you want?" I glare at him, seething because I'm mad as hell at myself.

"My hoodie."

"Ah, right." Of course, I'm still wearing it, I forgot to mention that I kept it on, his citrus fragrance with a hint of musk is all over it and yes okay, shoot me, I did sniff it. A lot. At least he has taste in his aftershave, I have to give him that.

"One second." I pull it up from the hem and over my head and if weren't for Belle in his arms right now, I'd throw the damn thing at him. My jumper has ridden up in moving his hoodie off my body. I catch him checking out my flat stomach, his eyes darken, is that desire?

"Forget it." I snipe at him.

"You, Petal are too feisty for your own good. What you need is to be thrown on that bed over there and have your legs spread. You need to chill out a bit. I can help you with that." He smirks, his mouth is turned up.

"I don't need any help from you; besides I am chilled out."

"You're like a piece of ice. Let me help relax you." Alex steps into the room. WTF am I doing letting him enter? This could be dangerous. Oh, but my body is aching for him. When I say aching, I mean my clit is on some kind of drugs and pulsing like a demonic bitch.

He places Belle on the floor she trots off to her bed by the window, stretches as I watch her and then gets into it and snuggles herself into a small ball. Damn she's cute, but right now I've got the most handsome, good-looking man in my bedroom and things are feeling a bit off kilt.

I move backward, he inches forward. "Are you sure you don't want some relaxing before you go to sleep tonight. I'm the perfect solution for bad sleep." He comes closer, I can smell the musk on him, he still hasn't put the blasted hoodie on.

"If you don't get out of my room I will scream, I swear."

He chuckles, it's deep and throaty and sexy as hell, it would have to be wouldn't it? Just my luck.

"Oh, you'd be screaming alright. My name."

"You incense me, Stone. Get out now."

"Besides, in case you haven't noticed, we are in the middle of nowhere there is nobody around for miles."

"What about your security detail? He'd hear me."

"I told him I don't need him this evening." He winks at me.

Did the fucker just wink at me? And why am I not moving away from him? We're so close now, I can literally feel the heat radiating off his body. I am itching to touch his gleaming, tan skin just to feel it's silkiness under my fingertips.

He moves closer, I stand my ground and lift my chin up. "Do not come any closer, Stone. I swear I'll scratch your eyes out." He stops and looks at me, his hand moves, his finger lifts my chin up so gently and softly it makes me gasp. My lips part.

Hold on, close those damn lips right now. What the hell are you doing? His full lips are so close to mine that I can smell his breath, coffee and toothpaste. "I know you want me, Petal. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll be here for you." He pulls away and heads back out of the door leaving me practically panting with a pounding heart rate and soaking panties.
