I nod, still pondering the question. “I enjoyed it as well. I should probably get going, though, I’ve got to help open the bakery in the morning and damn if that alarm clock isn’t a real bitch.”

“Do you need a ride?” he asks, as we make our way towards the car park.

“No, I drove my car. Thank you though.”

The awkward silence that lays between us as we walk is almost suffocating. I want to say more, like how I think we should get dinner tomorrow, or maybe ask him back to my apartment. No, that would be ridiculous… and yet every part of me wants to, despite my best efforts to remind myself of how he broke my heart years ago.

I’m a grown adult for Godsake and I can’t even hold a fucking conversation.

“I’ll catch you later, Madison,” Jaxson says, departing ways with me. My only response is a small wave as I watch him walk away towards his black SUV before I turn back to my car.

All the while my mind is rolling over the conversation between Jaxson and I. Wondering if maybe I did meet the right person, once upon a time.The realization that maybe Jaxson had been that person, but he never knew… so honestly, we never stood a chance.

Chapter Fifteen: Jaxson

“Jaxson, please…” The sound of Madi begging beneath me as I thrust into her over and over again is music to my ears. A pleasure almost as intense as the feeling of her tight wet pussy wrapped around my cock.

She’d come to me in the middle of the night. Crawled into my bed, begging for me to claim her. Begging for me to make her scream. Her lips wrapped around my cock, bringing it to life before I pinned her to the bed—fucking her into submission.

The sound of sirens in the distance wakes me from my sleep. My eyes shoot open, a low groan escaping my throat at the realization that once again, I was dreaming. Dreaming about Madi and everything I want to do with her. It doesn’t matter how much I try to push her out of my mind, I can’t. She’s like a record playing over and over again in my head that refuses to turn off.

Reaching down, I grasp my hard cock in my hand. Its attention the result of Madi’s gorgeous body flashing through my mind. My handslides up and down my shaft as I close my eyes, picturing her once more. Picturing her straddling my waist. Her slick wet pussy gliding over my cock again and again and again.

It didn’t take long for me to reach my peak. Coming hard as a deep groan escapes my throat, the mess of my pleasure erupting over my chest as I give it one more slight stroke to make sure everything has been released. My breath comes in heavily as I open my eyes to meet the ceiling.

Why do I keep thinking about her?

The thought is one that has come through my mind, more than once over the last few days. It can’t be a coincidence that she’s in my dreams, can it?

Just as my mind starts shifting to the images in my dreams once again, my phone rings. Part of me hoped to see Madison’s name but instead, it’s Caitlin. “For fuck sake.”

Seeing her name is like dumping an ice-cold bucket of water on my head. The arousal I once had is long gone as I slip from the bed and make my way towards the shower to clean up. If Caitlin thinks for one second I’m going to answer her call, she’s dead wrong.

By the time I finish getting ready, I ponder over what to do for the day. It’s already close to nine in the morning. The idea of seeing if Knox needs help at the house crosses my mind, but then so does breakfast. Which means the bakery, and a chance to see Madison again after last night.

She looked stunning last night, even if she was in tight blue jeans and a t-shirt with her mom’s logo on the back of it. It’s the Madi I saw every day when we were younger. The Madi that loved to be ready for anything, and being practical was how you started that.

Not to say she didn’t like getting girly with Kylie and Sam every now and again. I can’t recall how many times the three of them had us waiting forever in high school for them to finish getting ready.

Without a second thought, I grab my keys off the nightstand and head out towards the bakery. The drive is not as far from the hotel, and the moment I pull up I spot Madi’s car parked in the parking lot. Knowing that she’s here excites me in a way I never realized before.

“Jaxson?” The sound of Allison’s voice pulls my attention towards the back door of the building the moment I step out of my vehicle. Her eyeslight up as she places a black garbage back in the dumpster before making her way towards me. “Oh, I thought it was you!”

Madi’s mom quickly wraps me in her embrace, the smell of cookies and bread wrapping around us both as she pulls back dusting her hands on her apron. “Are you here to see Madi?”

Am I?

“Uh, yeah. Actually, I am. I was going to grab breakfast and see if she wanted to hang out when she’s done.”

She gives a wave of her hand as if to dismiss me, before gesturing me towards the door. “Nonsense. Sneak in through the back and surprise her.”

When Allison gives you an order, there’s no arguing with her. I follow behind as she instructs and sneak in through the back door of the kitchen. Madison’s gorgeously curvy body is turned away from me as she vigorously stirs whatever mixture she has in a large silver bowl.

I hadn’t anticipated approaching her like this today, but when an opportunity arises you take it.

“I’m sorry that the time you selected isn’t good enough for you anymore…”

Stopping in my tracks, I watch her. When she moves to the right slightly it allows me to see the phone to her ear before she props it up with her shoulder. “Yes, I know, but unfortunately we work based off the booked times. We can’t fast-track that for you just because your daughter-in-law decided to start the party two hours earlier.”
