Seriously, if I didn’t have a game to play tonight and Coach already on my ass, I’d have taken it further. I know she wants me, why she has to be so stubborn about letting go of how she truly feels is beyond me. Madison Lane sure is a tough nut to crack.I’ll be perfectly honest; I am not used to this. Women are usually all too quick to want to drop their panties for me and have me pleasure them, that’s if they’re wearing any.We reach the bottom floor; my driver is waiting by the car. “Can’t you walk anywhere?” She asks. I raise my eyebrows. If only she knew how much walking, I have had to do in my lifetime. All of this, the cars, the money, the lifestyle that is all my own doing it wasn’t always like this. Especially not when my dad left.Man, it was hard. I’d have to walk for miles to get to the rink because we lived outside of down in a small bungalow type property until my mom met
Madison“Hey, Mom how are you both? I’m in Austin until tomorrow afternoon and have a couple of hours spare are you at home?” My mom almost screeches down the phone. Seriously, anyone would think I had moved to the North Pole and been away for two years plus. I hold the phone away from my ear.“Yes, we will be in. Hold on a minute.” I hear her murmuring to my dad. “Dad will be here too. Come over as soon as you can? How come you are back already? How is the assignment going? Oh, never mind just get ready and come on over. I made a lemon drizzle cake, your favorite so that worked out well. I was just thinking about you.” Mom is talking ten to the dozen, I can imagine her flapping around now all excited.“I’ll be there in say thirty minutes. Just need to pull on some jeans and sort Belle out. Will Henri or Jefferson be there?”“Jefferson is playing away at the minute; he’s got a gig in Vegas for a week.”“Ah, well I happen to be heading off to Vegas soon with Alex maybe I could catch u
AlexShe is cute and sexy as she huffs and puffs around the suite. I swear I could just pick her up, throw her on the bed, part those gorgeous legs of hers and bury my face right between her thighs. That would most certainly chill her out. I bet she’s never had an orgasm like I give them.“So, are you going to wear my jersey tonight?” I ask as I lay on the over-sized bed watching her unpack. “I told you someone would unpack everything.” She ignores me and continues to take stuff out of her case. I swear this woman does not know the meaning of travelling light. We’re only coming for the one night.“I. Am. Not. Wearing. Your. Jersey.” Her voice has an edge to it. I raise my eyebrows.“That won’t look good, you being my girlfriend and all.”“Why do you have to be such a dick? Were you born a dick.”“Hey, that’s not nice. That would be insinuating my mother gave birth to a dick and nobody insults my mother.”She mumbles an apology. “Fucks, sake.” She raises her hands in the air then lets
Madison Well, that was all very awkward, they kept looking at me like I had three heads and shaking their own heads. Yeah, I know it seems a lot for them to take in that Alex Stone, their hockey brother has got a full-time girlfriend. Trust me, it makes me fuel inside to even be thought of as being his girlfriend. But what can I do now? I accepted the deal and there is no way of getting out of it for six months. I have to admit though, him being so close to me when he leant over and his kissable, full lips so close to mine, had me a bit hot under the collar. I could easily have kissed him and allowed my tongue to wander into his mouth, to taste him. It was clear to see the desire in his eyes, his pupils were so large and black. This is ridiculous. How can I even be attracted to a man I cannot stand? Levi is the first to come up to us after we have landed. “Good to see you made it, Madison.” “I don’t have a choice like I keep saying, I signed my life away for the next few months.”
Alex“Coach.” I say as I get out of the limo. He is already at the jet with his arms folded. Okay, so I am a bit late, but I had to wait for Madison to get her shit together and judging by the large pull-along case she has with her, she has packed for a fortnight.“Stone. You’re late.” He says gruffly. “Madison, good you could make it.”“Did I have a choice?” She quips back, flicks her hair and marches in front of me and up the stairs. Damn, I love the way her fine ass moves. I could reach out and touch it, only it would be inappropriate in front of coach and the other team members who are milling around, some finishing off smoking or just waiting until the last minute to board.Coach raises his eyebrows at me. “A dog. On board?”“She comes with a dog, Coach. What can I say?” I shrug my shoulders.“Not so quick. How is it going with her since dinner last night?”“Tense. As you can expect, she doesn’t want to be part of this charade, just as much as I don’t want to be either. We’ll do
Madison“Do not ever get that close to me again. I swear next time I will cut your fucking dick off.” I huff out of the room. Seriously, when I had to lean in closer to him for a picture at the direction of the photographer, who I hasten to add I could hang; there was no mistaking Alex’s boner under the duvet. I almost recoiled yet my bloody body got the better of myself and I lost total control of my mind as I allowed my hand to rest on it, long enough to feel him twitch.Jeez-us, I hope that Breena didn’t notice, she seemed to be staring intently for an awfully long time at Alex. So what if he is like an Adonis with his honed and toned physique and muscles on his muscles, not to mention that perfect tan skin. Don’t even get me started on his electric blue yes, they’re like pools that draw you in.I am madder at myself than at him, I think. Yes, that is it. I am so flipping angry with myself for being attracted to him, this is utter crap. I want out like yesterday. Stuff the money, s
Chapter 28AlexIt’s amusing to watch someone like Madison Stone, who has a quick temper, to keep her cool. Breena is milking this so-called romance asking question after question. Liam clicks away like a mad man possessed.We’ve done sitting on the deck with a glass of wine by our sides, fake cooking in the kitchen, snaps at the dining table and several in the lounge pretending to watch a romantic Hallmark film. Actually, I don’t mind them so much, it’s not something I let on about but growing up with my mom who is a massive, Hallmark addict; watching them in our house was a thing. Don’t even get me started on the Christmas movies. Okay, so I’m a sucker for anything Christmas.“You guys ready for the bedroom shots?” Liam asks. Madi crosses her arms in front of her chest.“Do we have to?” She asks as I shoot her a look. She is supposed to be on board with this, you know to take being in love with me. I suppress a grin.“Is there a problem?” Breena asks confused as to why this would be
Madison“That looks a bit more like it.” Alex says as he stands behind me in his bedroom, I can smell shower on him and a hint of cinnamon. “Your shit looks good in my room. Mm, maybe we should leave it like this.” That makes me turn and glare at him, I hope my eyes look like shards of ice right now because I seriously good thump him one. He is so obnoxious.“Don’t get your hopes up, Stone. As soon as this is over, my shit as you call it will be back in the guest room along with me.”“We will see.”“You keep saying that and I keep telling you to dream on, Stone.” I hear a knock on the door and check my watch. “They’re early if that is them.” He shrugs, looking all cool, calm and collected. Unlike myself, who feels stressed and harassed. Did he help me move a tone of clothes into his room and make up stuff and accessories? Did he fuck. He went to his gym and did a quick workout session on his treadmill. I didn’t realize he had a surround stereo system until I hear some awful Kid Rock
Alex What I wouldn’t have given to slam her into the bedroom there and then and rip off those pajama bottoms and her flimsy top and sucked on those pert nipples of hers. I bet if I were to slide my hand between her velvety thighs, I’d find her wet and ready to receive my aching dick. As it is, I’m standing in the kitchen with the batter mix ready to go for the pancakes. “Don’t you ever wear clothes?” I hear her voice behind me as I pour some mix into the hot pan. “Huh? These are clothes.” I gesture to my black sweatpants. “No, I mean you never seem to wear a t-shirt.” “I prefer to be naked to be honest with you, Petal. Does it offend you?” I know it doesn’t, I can see her eyes are like saucers and she’s biting her bottom lip. Trust me, I am used to women drooling over me, my body is my temple. I work out hard, I train hard and there isn’t an ounce of fat on me. Hell, even my abs have abs. “No, it doesn’t offend me, only you’re not living alone anymore so you ought to cover up eve
