I hum in agreement.
"So what's going on with you two?"
Not able to contain myself, I blurt it all out. I tell her how I asked Cole for sex, and he said no, up to the part where I signed his contract, and we had mind-blowing sex.
"Jesus, girl, ever heard of the term dating?"
"What?" I sit up straight and turn to Bella. "We're not dating. We're helping each other out. He helps me with the intimate issue I've got going on, and in return, I help him with Samantha and his overbearing mother."
"Okay, then what's the problem? Does he lack in the sex department?" She raises a curious brow.
I groan and run my hands through my hair when the familiar tingle in my lower abdomen returns as I recall how he made me feel. "No, he isn't lacking. To be honest, it was fucking amazing."
"Ooh..." When I gaze sideways, her face shows an enormous grin.
"What does that,Ooh, mean?"
"It means that I figured out what's going on with you."
"Okay, enlighten me, wise friend," I say with sarcasm.
"Sex with Cole twisted your feelings into a chaotic mess, and now you have a hard time dealing with them. That's why you've been avoiding his calls these last few days and sleeping here."
I clear my throat. "Maybe." I push myself from the couch and walk through the room. My eyes travel over the many paintings hanging on the walls until one of them catches my full attention. The artwork shows a woman and a man's face inches away from each other. I can sense the intensity and taste the raw feelings lingering between them; it blasts off the canvas. Bella mainly used black, grey, and white for this creation, but she accentuated the woman's lips with bright red.
"God, this one is outstanding."
"Yeah, it turned out how I wanted. But then again, I had my inspiration source for that one."
My eyes can't stop staring at the painting; it's so mesmerizing.
"What's it called?"
"Irresistible Attraction," she says.
"That's the perfect name for it. If you need a place to hang it, I'm happy to promote it in my house." I send her a genuine smile as I gaze at her over my shoulder.
Bella stands up from the couch and walks over to me. "Maybe, one day. But let's go back to why you're here. Cole. Want my opinion?" She bumps her shoulder to mine as she stops next to me.
"Yeah," I mumble without taking my eyes off the art.
"Since you already signed the contract, and the sex is out of this world. Enjoy it."
I twist my head and raise a curious brow. "So, you don't think I'm a horny fool for signing that stupid contract?"
Bella chuckles. "Horny? Yes. But a fool, absolutely not. I'm rather curiously wondering if Mr. Walker has other motives for drawing up that contract."
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing," she murmurs. Her eyes meet mine and a naughty grin sets on her face. "You just enjoy six months of deliciously passionate sex. You deserve it." And with that, she hugs me by wrapping her arms around me.
I hug back. "Thanks, Bells."
"Anytime, hun."
"So what about we eat ice cream, and when we're done, I'm going home so you can go back to finishing another masterpiece?"
Bella snorts. "A pain in the butt piece is a better description."
