Chapter 12

Liam

She is so passionate and she turns me inside out like nobody before her.

I loved the way she took initiative but still gave in to my demands.

Fuck how I wanted to slide into her mouth and her core.

I couldn’t stop myself from tasting her after she sauntered naked into the house.

My God she is beautiful. But I had to stop it quickly because I was about to lose control.

“Finish what you were planning to do and join me. We still have a conversation to do before we finalize what we just started.”

I leave her panting in the bathroom.

Did she genuinely think that she can walk in completely naked and not get punished?

She doesn’t know me.

Returning to the living room I can’t get over how cut this house is.

The mix of technology and rural look makes it appealing even for me.

The entire living quarters would probably fit into my living room.

Here, somehow, I don't even mind it. Actually, I like it.

Lately I started appreciating things that are quite different from my usual norm.

One of those things is being in nature and away from civilization.

Alone time has given me even more clarity on how I want to develop my business and my life.

That was the reason I ended up in Drakes cottage in the first place.

I wanted to go somewhere nobody knew who I was and the press couldn’t find me.

Willow Creek is far enough to offer complete immersion into nature and near enough that I can be back in the city within the hour if necessary.

Also, Adele doesn’t know about this place as well.

I asked her to keep away after we concluded our relationship, but she just finds a way to make herself appear wherever I go.

Being in my vicinity has proven as a good tactic for her over the years, but that has to stop.

I do appreciate her being there for me but I am done with her.

I thought that she understood I was only physical for me but the way she has been acting I can see that she thinks there will be more.

I get out to the terrace; this is the space where Madison likes to spend her evenings. I know because I watched her. She emerges from the bedroom hallway, fully dressed in jeans and an off shoulder T-shirt.

“Can you come here?” I ask her.

We need to have this conversation.

I take in her curves as she joins me on the terrace as the picture of her naked body arching beneath me enters my mind again. Once again desire hits me in the gut and my cock stands in attention.

Hell, there goes my composure out of the window.

Can I let go of her without even having her even once?

I may have to.

Madison is a complete opposite to the type of woman I usually spend time with. Everybody knows that the expiry date on my companions is about a month. Dinner dates and sex. That’s it. No cuddling in bed, no morning after, no sleeping over. I don’t bring them home or go to their home, a hotel room is perpetually on my disposal.

The only exception to this rule was Adele, and the exception was that I know her for years and we have been fucking for years.

Both of us deep in tight corporate schedules and long work days. We were a convenient solution. At least for a while, until I found out…

“You called, your Majesty!” Madison's voice brings me back as she steps right in front of me.

“What happened earlier between us…” I start as she stands in front of me - all spunk and taunt.

“... was amazing?” she finishes.

I try to hide a smile and to restrain my emotions from coming to the surface. All I want is to pull her into my arms.

“Was amazing...” I confirm and continue, “but I’m still no good for you”.

She snorts and I see that she is not taking me seriously.

“Madison, I don’t have time for a real relationship.” I tell her as I lift her chin up making her look at me.

Big fucking mistake.

Our eyes connect and before I have a chance to react logically, I find myself kissing those pink and pouty lips of hers.

Her arms go around my waist and she molds herself to my body.

All I can do is respond the same way, pulling her into me even more. Her body against mine feels so right.

Lust slams into my gut once again.

What is this woman doing to me? I expected nothing less than great sex but this is crazy.

She breaks the kiss.

“What if this was a one-night deal? Would that make you relax and enjoy the time we are spending together?” Madison asks me.

I’m intrigued.

That is exactly what would make me relaxed.

Take the pressure off.

If we both know what we are getting into, we just might have a chance to have something more and return to our lives as they were before.

“What exactly do you have in mind?”

My body is left craving her nearness as she saunters to a deck chair and lays down, putting her hands above her head.

I stand there frozen, just taking in the beauty of her full figure and luscious breasts.

“We agree… that whatever we will have ... will last for one night only! I’m a big girl you know and I do get the message when somebody tells me over and over that they are not good for me.”

“One night…” I say aloud.

I’m usually the one looking for the door.

Not the one negotiating for more time but with Madison I just can’t get enough.

And what I do get in this one time will have to be enough for the rest of my life.

“A one night!” She repeats, “That is it. Take it or leave it!”
