“She’s been through a lot, Caleb. Maybe you should give yourself a chance.” Mike slapped his stomach. “Come on, we’re supposed to be having some fun.”
They made their way toward the pool table, and Caleb always made sure he kept Maddie in his sights. She appeared to be laughing at something Ryan said, and that only served to piss him off.
Yes, he wanted her.
He couldn’t deny it.
Didn’t want to deny it.
Maddie had gotten under his skin, and every time he was near, he wanted to show her how sexy he thought her body was. He wanted to show her how possessive a man can be. He’d read some of those books, and knew what she wanted, and he was more than happy to provide it.
After twenty minutes, Ryan and Maddie joined them. Handing Ryan, his competition, the pool stick, he took Maddie’s hand and led her back onto the dance floor.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
The music changed to a slow number, and he pulled her into his arms, resting his hands on her hips. She didn’t fight him, and he was glad.
Maddie felt good against him. Her full tits pressed against his chest, and he wanted her naked more than anything, naked and underneath him.
The nanny she may be, but she was going to be his woman whether she realized it or not.
****
Ryan was really nice. Maddie couldn’t deny it. He knew how to help her have a good time, and he told so many jokes that were always making her laugh. That was how much she loved being around him.
She liked it when a guy could take away her nerves.
Caleb, on the other hand, didn’t make her laugh.
No, he made her realize that she was a woman with a great deal of needs, and she couldn’t keep denying them. With his much larger hands on her hips, he was making her yearn for something she hadn’t thought about in a good long while.
Sex.
She’d never been really good at it, and often didn’t like it.
Chad’s idea of sex was to get on, move around a little bit, and when he was done, get off, curl up into a ball and fall to sleep. She didn’t like that, had never liked that.
The books she read always gave her hope that there was something more out there, but of course, that never happened.
She’d resigned herself to a miserable marriage with crappy sex.
“Are you having fun?” Caleb asked.
Even his voice was deep, and it sent shivers down her spine, not bad shivers either.
Resting her hands on his shoulders, she marveled at the strength she felt vibrating beneath her touch.
“Yes, I am. What about you?”
“No.
“Oh, I’m so sorry.” She went to move her hands, but his grip on her startled her enough to keep them on him.
“I don’t like you being on a date with another man.”
“I don’t—what?”
“Ryan’s not yours, and you don’t belong to him.”
“He’s really nice, and I like him.” She did like him. She just didn’t see them having anything more than a friendship.
Caleb leaned close, and for Maddie everyone else fell away. They no longer existed to her as Caleb became the center of her world.
“He’s safe, and he doesn’t get your body begging and desperate for a man’s touch.”
“No one does,” she said, hoping he didn’t know the truth.
The smile on his lips, such a rare thing to see, told her differently. His lips grazed her hair, his hot breath doing wonders for her arousal. She closed her eyes, feeling moisture build between her legs. What would it be like to have his lips there, tasting her, touching her, getting her ready to feel the full length of his cock?
She released a little whimper and gasped, hoping he didn’t hear it.
“Are you wet right now, Maddie?”
Jerking back, she stared into his gaze and saw the heat looking back at her.
“I know my cock is rock-hard right now, and I know I want to take you home, get you naked, and fuck you until you forget about everyone and everything.”
One of the hands on her back moved down to grip her ass, and he pulled her against him. She didn’t fight him.
She didn’t want to fight him.
“Are you, Maddie?” he asked.
“I’ve got to go to the bathroom.”
She pulled away from him.
He’s my boss.
I take care of his daughter.
I need this job.
I want this job.
I love his home.
He’s one of the sexiest men I’ve ever met.
I can’t have him, no matter what.
She released a little whimper but kept on going. There was no line for the toilet, and she thanked her luck that she didn’t have to wait. Going into a stall, she sat down on the toilet. She didn’t want to do anything. All she actually wanted was to gain her composure again.
Don’t let this get to you.
Go out there and go to Ryan, and go home.
