Seduction (Club Destiny 3)

Page 12

For all the time Alex had fantasized about this moment, he’d never dreamed it would be like this. The woman was sweeter than nectar and so damn soft. With her body crushed up against his, their hips aligned damn near perfectly, as though they had been made to fit together.

Time needed to stand still so Alex could get his fill of this woman in his arms, but, unfortunately, the sound of the door opening behind them had Ashleigh pulling away abruptly, although she used him as a shield to block her from the view of whoever had come out.

Leaning down, knowing he had only seconds before she retreated entirely, Alex whispered in her ear, “We’ll pick up where we left off tomorrow, Ash. We have a date, and I’m holding you to it.”

Ashleigh nodded her head but didn’t look at him.

Alex knew he had made ground that night, so he let it be for now. Tomorrow would be another day. And after the chemistry they’d just shared, he would need time to prepare himself for the explosion that would likely rock his world because it was inevitable.

“See you tomorrow.” He kept his voice low, then leaned in and dropped a kiss on her lips before turning to go.

Chapter Six

Alex woke up the next morning with a hard on to rival all. Morning wood paled in comparison to the steely length of his cock after having dreamt about Ashleigh and the kiss they’d shared.

He contemplated getting in the shower to take care of business, but after looking at the clock, he cursed. Jumping out of bed, rearranging himself so he didn’t cause any harm, he rushed to the closet to change. Within seconds, he was in the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of orange juice from the refrigerator and his car keys and wallet from the counter.

He only hoped he wasn’t too late. With a lead foot, he floored it out of his driveway, doing his best to keep to the speed limit until he hit the open road.

This is what he got for not setting his alarm. Had it not been for the dreams, Alex would’ve been up before dawn as was normal for him. Instead, he’d overslept because he’d been thinking about Ashleigh when he finally crawled into bed the night before. Apparently he drifted off somewhere in between remembering the kiss they shared and fantasizing about all of the things he intended to do to that woman.

Damn.

If he kept thinking about her, he’d never find any relief from the ache between his legs. Adding some speed, he entered the highway ramp and headed south. Ten minutes tops. That’s all he needed.

Since the sun was just coming up, he figured he had a few minutes to spare, but he wasn’t willing to risk it. Turning up the volume on the radio, he tried to distract himself with the morning news. It didn’t help much.

Thankfully the cops hadn’t been out, or they had turned a blind eye because Alex was pretty sure he wouldn’t have been able to drive away with just one ticket after that. He pulled into the driveway of Ashleigh’s house at the same time she was walking out onto her front porch.

He made it.

Figuring she was confused enough at it was, Alex remained in the truck, lowering the window and waiting for her to come closer. The look on her face was one of shock and awe. The same way he must have looked last night when she had kissed him back.

“Hey,” he smiled when she approached. “Hop in.”

“Umm.” Ashleigh hesitated, glancing up and down her street as though she were expecting someone. “I was about to go for a run.”

“I know. You still are. Get in.” Alex didn’t stop smiling as Ashleigh finally moved in the direction of the passenger door. He leaned over, flipped open the door and pushed. He didn’t get it fully opened, but he was able to at least get it started.

“Where are we going?” She asked, taking in his appearance as she climbed in.

Yes, he was in his running gear. Little did Ashleigh know, but Alex ran as well. Maybe not as much as her, he didn’t know her routine, but he did manage to get in two runs a week, at least.

“White Rock Lake.” He told her as he put the truck in Reverse and backed out of her driveway.

When he got home the night before, he’d researched some of the trails close to her house, and then he picked one he was familiar with. He didn’t frequent this particular trail, but he knew it was an easy one, and being a pleasant morning, they’d get the opportunity to enjoy the view. Not that he would find a view nicer than the one sitting beside him.

“I’ve read about that one.” Ashleigh contributed, buckling her seatbelt and seeming to relax somewhat.

“It’s usually busy, a lot of runners. This early we’ll have some space to ourselves though. Have you found another that you like yet?”

“Not yet. I’ve run the neighborhood a couple of times and one trail close by, but I haven’t had much time to go exploring.”
