Page 41 of Seduced By Contract

I lift her into my arms and sit her on the kitchen counter. "No, I wouldn't."

"Then why are you angry?"

"Say again that you're with me because you want to be."

She looks down. "Something happened that made me propose to be your sugar baby, but I've wanted you since I saw you sitting there that night in the private room."

I pull her to the edge of the counter and kiss that sinful mouth.

"I want you," she whispers in my ear when we pull apart. "I don't like wanting something, because I always get disappointed, but I want you so much, Zeus."

I'm normally a cold guy, but she has the power to make my blood boil with a simple admission.

I grasp a handful of her thick hair, tilting her head back. "Don't hide from me, Madison. I want everything."

"I wouldn't even know how to do that, but even if I did, I don't want to pretend; I want to experience this fully."

I'm about to take her mouth again when my phone vibrates.

I'm tempted to ignore it, but I know who it is. The expert I had my secretary call to conduct the electrical and gas inspection. I bought this house as an investment, and since the renovation, no one has lived here.

"I have to take this call. It must be the expert outside checking the house."

"You were so sure I would like it?"

"Of course."

"God, you're so arrogant."

We're in the car on our way to SIN. The inspection took longer than I calculated, and Madison said she needed to get to work.

"Park in the back. I don't want us to be seen together."

"Everyone will know about us at some point, Madison," I reply, annoyed because I've never been in a situation where the woman wanted to hide me.

"I know, but not inside the club. This is my job. If you want to come every night like you said you would, it'll be as my client and not . . .”

"Not what?"

"As my lover."

"Your only private dance tonight is all mine."

"Are you going to do this every night?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's likely."

She puts her hand on the door handle. "I know you like opening the door for me, and I feel like a princess every time you do it, but not here. Wait a while before coming in, please."

"No. I need to talk to Ares. I'm never going to hide, Madison, regardless of the reason."

She exits with a heavy expression and without saying goodbye.

Two minutes later, I also get out and head straight to Ares' office. "Madison won't be working tomorrow," I tell him.

He runs his hands over his face. "Are you seeing my dancer?"

"We have an agreement. She's mine for six months."
