*Ezra POV*

I was wide awake, watching the sunrise. Wondering how life turns every time we plan. Sometimes it's funny how we are greeted with a surprise thrown by life.

This time I was going to embrace my life, my flaws, my insecurities. I will no longer be the woman who is confused in her life.

I expected myself to feel hurt watching Aiden and Elena getting married, yet all I felt was happiness. We might have a past but that didn't mean we weren't friends before and I have seen the sincerity in his eyes for her. The same sincerity Michael has.

After the night where we made out with each other, I have been avoiding any further talks. No, I didn't plainly ignore him, just that I didn't bring that topic out. Because it wasn't just a drunk kiss to me. It was my safe place.

Michael is my savior. Yes, it's true my first intention towards him was to get him to cuddle me. But I am afraid now because I can't have a man like him. Not with the profession, he is in.

I decided to help my team in packing everything up. It felt good to know that Elena and I are on the same page now. At least there won't be any more chaos in this marriage.

_______________~•~_____________

Arriving at my apartment, I kicked my heels off and instantly went towards the kitchen. I felt tired and high from all the work and little alcohol that I had consumed. I had a meeting with Nick and the rest of the team to finalize the arrangement for the wedding and reception.

As I was about to call Nick and tell him to gather the team, my doorbell rang. Striding towards my door I opened my door and came face to face with Michael.

What was he doing here? I don't remember calling him.

"Good morning Ms. Ezra. How was your night?" He walked inside and plopped on my couch.

"Put your shoes here Mike. You know I don't like people roaming around my house with their footwear on." I scolded him.

"Yes ma'am, on it. Damn, someone is salty. What got your panties twisted baby?" He said, knowing very well how to get on my nerves.

"Shutup. There isn't anything like that. I am just tired and tipsy." My tone was a little harsh than I intended it to be.

"The tipsy Ezra I knew is not salty, rather horny." He said reminding me of our night. Why was he annoying me?

"Says the one who easily got seduced." This time it was my turn to smirk at his reaction.

The shock he had on his face quickly turned into something I couldn't decipher.

He took slow steps towards me, not breaking the eye contact. I felt my palms turning clammy.

In no time, he was in front of me. His breath fanning over my face. I could feel his muscular build chest pressed against me. I just hoped he wasn't able to hear my erratic heartbeat.

We didn't speak anything. Just kept staring into each other's eyes. His beautiful green eyes were sparkling. Those eyes captured my attention in an instant. They were piercing through my soul right now.

He cupped my cheeks with his warm hand. The warmth felt so comfortable and enticing.

"You are doing things, no women has ever done." His husky voice sent a shiver through my spine. I could feel myself getting warm and wet.

"What am-m am I doing to you?" Damn my stuttering. Where went my freaky bold version when required?

His arms snaked around my waist pulling me closer if that was possible. Leaving no space between us. With one hand still holding my face, he leaned and kissed me.

I was rooted in my place. My whole body felt hot. I could feel my mind going blank. The only thing I felt was his lips kissing me.

Pulling away from the kiss, he looked into my eyes which longed for his warmth. His endearing and comforting warmth."You have become my addiction, Ezra. I can't stay away from you and I can't let you run away from me."

With that, he kissed me again. This time much rougher than before. I found my lips syncing with his. My hands went around his neck while he kept holding my waist. His tongue entered my mouth. I sucked on his tongue while his hand kept descending downwards.

I bit his lip making him squeeze my ass. I moaned.

*Michael POV*

I should have stopped there. I didn't come here for this rather I wanted to talk to her. About us. But the moment she deliciously moved her tongue with me, I lost my control. With our lips firmly locked, I picked her up. She wrapped her legs around my waist while we kept kissing each other.

This moment was growing on me. Our proximity was making me insane.

Pressing her back to the nearest wall, I pinned her hand above her head. Our steamy make-out session was already making me hot and needy. I felt her legs pulling me close and tightening around my waist. Every other part of my body was burning with desire. My hunger for her was getting desperate with each passing second.

"You are liking this too much Ms. Sanders." Grinding over her wetness, she moaned and arched her back while my hands caressed her neck.

"You are quite likable Mr. Adams." I kissed my way down to her neck, sucking and biting her soft skin leaving marks on it. Her hands tugged my hair making me look in her lust-filled gaze. "Bed. Now."

Her seductive voice made me growl and without wasting any time I carried her towards her bedroom.

*Ezra POV*

We entered my bedroom. Our bodies were intertwined while he carried me to the bed. I sat on the bed kissing him with such hunger. I nipped on his neck.

"Fuck Ez!"

"Shh baby. Just enjoy it."

I pulled his shirt over and kissed my way down to his buffed-up chest and those chocolaty abs. I delicately licked my way to his V-line. My hands soon reaching to pop open the button of his jeans which gave his boner a hard time restraining within, I pushed down his jeans to his knee level. I palmed my hand over his rock hard cock through the thin material of his boxers making him groan.

"You need to stop teasing me."

"Where is the fun without teasing?" Pulling his boxers down with my teeth, I caressed his balls with one hand while stroking his taint with the other. I slowly and gently licked my way upward. I felt him trembling. This made me bolder. Giving kitten licks to his tip, my hand which was stroking his taint, grabbed his beast slowly pumping him.

"Fuck baby, you are so good. So so good."

I keep pumping him hard, teasing his head with my thumb. He grabs my arm and pushes me on the bed, hovering over me.

"I think you had enough fun teasing me. Now it's my turn."

Tearing my dress in two halves, he threw it somewhere in the room.

"Hey, why would you do that?" I was furious.

"You should have thought about it before teasing the hell out of me."

He captured my lips with his. His hands groped my boobs making me moan in the kiss. Toying with my nipples, he attached his mouth to one while his other hand kept motor-boating my breast. His tongue teasingly licked my areola and sucked my nips. I was a moaning mess.

He went all way down kissing every inch of my body. He slid my panties down my leg and rubbed his thumb over my clit.

"You are so wet." I couldn't even reply. His touch was just so magical. Suddenly he slipped a digit inside me taking me by surprise. I bit my lip to contain my moans, grinding my hips into his hand.

He added another digit and pumped his fingers inside me while rubbing his thumb over my clit.

"Oh fuck Mike.. don't stop please." I arched my back with the sensation he was giving me.

I pulled him and kissed him hard.

I want all of him.

He aligned himself near my sex.

"Do you? Cond.."

"Don't worry, I am on the pill."

And without warning, he pushed his beast deep inside me. I curled my toes from pain and pleasure. He was big. TOO big.

"Are you fine?"

"Yeah, just let me adjust.. fuck..kk you are so big." I moaned when he started moving slowly, soon picking up the speed. I was writhing beneath him, I am pretty sure my neighbors could hear me screaming. That's how good he was making me feel.

My nails scratched his back making him groan, he rested his hand on the bedpost, moving in an animalistic speed.

The feeling of Michael inside me was ecstatic and intoxicating. I could feel myself teetering on the edge of my climax. My entire body felt hot and euphoric.

"Fuck I am gonna cum."

He picked his pace again and with the last thrust we both came together, with an earth-shattering orgasm.

He rolled over my side. For a good few minutes, we both were silent.

"Go on a date with me".

I didn't move my gaze away from the ceiling. "I think you should let your high come down Mike. Your orgasm is making you speak words you will regret."

"I am serious Ez! I didn't come here early morning to fuck you. I came here to talk to you about us, which you have been avoiding for a long time." I knew what he meant but was I ready for it?

"Shouldn't we take our time first?" What was I saying? My mind was fuzzy after the immense sex. I couldn't even collect what was happening.

"I don't need time. All these days I controlled myself around you. All I want is a chance."

I turned my face toward him. His beautiful green eyes were shining due to the light seeping through my curtains. I could stare at him all day and night, yet wouldn't get tired of it.

"I am not ready Mike. I just overcame a heartbreaking relationship." I walked to my closet to find something to wear. I could feel all our juices flowing down my sex.

I should clean up first.

"Moreover don't get me wrong, I do like you. But I can't handle my man making love to other women. I totally understand that it's your job but you need to see where I am standing Mike."

I knew my words were straight and honest. But again I was tired of hiding my emotions, maybe in this world people preferred talking in a manipulative way but I always loved talks where everyone is straightforward.

"I have stopped sleeping around." That got my attention. He stopped? Wasn't he the one to tell me how it's fun to fuck different pussy every time?

"Wh..hat?"

"I said I have stopped fucking around a long time ago. I was tired of being the notorious playboy and to be honest, you caught my attention. I couldn't sleep with every woman and then come to you for a cuddle. I felt myself feeling guilty and pathetic. For the very first time, I hated my job. So, yes I stopped. Mark and I have decided to stop stripping and any special service. We are just doing business with the club and also have hired new strippers for the work."

"I...I don't know what to say Mike if this is because of me then I don't think so you should leave."

He walked towards me and cupped my cheeks.

"You are worth leaving everything Ez! I don't know how and when but I can't stay away from you. All I am asking for is a chance. You don't have to say yes right away. We can take it slow. No tags nothing."

I ponder over his words. Yes, I do like him too but the fear of betrayal was greater than anything. I don't think so my heart could take another heartbreak, but again it was Michael we were talking about. He was adamant and always stood upon his words. Maybe I can give it a chance.

"What do you mean by no tags?"

"It means we don't have to commit so fast. Let me take you on dates, show you my sincerity, my feelings and then you can decide if you want to go further or not. Trust me Ezra I will respect all your decision."

"Okay."

"Hmm?"

"Okay, I will go on a date with you."

He picked me up in his arms with a wide smile on his face. Kissing me slowly and lovingly, like he was desperate to convey his feelings to me.

I hope this doesn't backfire me. I am hooking on your promise Michael Adams.
