She rips the mask off and screams at me. “Have you lost your mind? Get the hell out, Max!” Then she yanks the sheets up and glares at me.

“I-I’m sorry. I thought maybe something happened to you. I knocked three times and you didn’t answer so I was worried.”

Her head whips around, topped with wildly tousled dark hair that floats around her shoulders. She finds the alarm clock beside the bed and throws it at my head.

I duck and slam the door shut. “I’ll just be out here. I’m really sorry, Aster.”

But I’m lying. I’m not fucking sorry at all. I saw her beautiful breasts. Saw her barely awake.

Saw her in all her morning glory and it’s every damn fantasy I’ve ever had.

I jog down the steps, a smile tilting my lips. There’s a word whispering through my head right now. Only one word and I never thought I’d think it. Hear that call to my heart and head.

I grab my coffee and a bear claw, shoving it in my mouth.Mine.That sweet, beautiful, cautious woman upstairs is mine. Right now, she’s probably cursing me under her breath and she’s embarrassed as hell but she’s got nothing to be ashamed of. Her smooth, pale skin is flawless. Her long hair looks just-fucked and makes my dick hard as a damn rock.

Her sleepy, angry eyes flashing blue flames at me? That’s a wet dream come true. That and her incredible breasts that are round and full and perfect for my hands.

“What the hell are you doing here so early, Max!” She stomps down the stairs, her cheeks pink with her emotions.

“I brought you breakfast. I figured we’d get an early start on planning so that I can get a crew out here this week. You want your home done as quick as you can, right?”

She nods and I see her blue eyes light up when they land on the bear claw in my mouth. I grab a second out of the bag and hold it out to her silently.

She grabs it and takes a big bite, a moan breaking free from her soft lips. Her eyes close and she moans with another bite.

My dick is throbbing wildly. Thumping, throbbing and jerking behind my zipper. It needs to be inside her. Needs to feel her under me, around me, over me. My body needs her like it needs air to breathe.

But I shove all that shit down and take another bite of my bear claw before I scare the shit out of her. She’s wearing another tight pair of jeans and a soft, midnight blue sweater that brings out the color of her magnificent eyes.

“You look beautiful,” I say, unable to resist telling her that.

She rolls her eyes. “Please. It’s just clothes.”

I stalk over to her and lift her fingers to my mouth, sucking on them lightly. She tastes like pastry and sugar and delectable skin. Her soft gasp makes me smile.

“It’s not just clothes.” My eyes drift down her curves. “You look even better with no clothes on.”

She growls and pulls away. “You have no manners, Max.”

“Because I tell the truth? I won’t sugarcoat things for you or anybody else. I told you that I’m gonna have you. You’re mine. Every beautiful, curvy inch of you. Nothing you do or say is going to change my mind. I’ll be around until you realize the truth. We’re meant to be. Not for a month or two. Forever. I know I shouldn’t say that. That I’ll probably scare the hell out of you. But it’s the fucking truth and I’m not gonna lie to you.”

Then he turns and pulls out a clipboard and takes another bite out of the bear claw he dropped to the counter.

“Now. Let’s go over some plans. I want this place to be perfect for you.”

And that’s the god’s honest truth. This is going to be her dream home and one day soon, I’ll be living here with my angel.

ASTER

“That man is crazy! He’s at my door every day with some new gift for me. Just a little something that he thought I’d like. Pfft!” I stalk around Fern’s office, unable to sit still. “Between him and my mother I’m going out of my mind.”

“What about your mother?” Fern asks, setting down her pen and leaning back in her cushy desk chair.

“She’s calling me every day, trying to convince me to come back for that damn movie. I don’t want to be in that movie! The stupid thing isn’t something I’d even watch. And it’s got nudity. You know I’ve never been okay with nudity.”

“I do know that.” She shakes her head. “So just tell her that you’re not interested.”

“I have done that,” I wail. “Many fucking times. But she just won’t listen. I swear I’m done with that life. I don’t know what I want to do with myself but it’s not movies anymore. She just doesn’t get it.”
