just that.

Her hand lands on my chest, pushing me away just a bit and the kiss breaks before I can deepen it further.

She stands. “Have a good night, Axel.”

No, don’t leave. I want to tell her to wait. I want to say so many words that mean stop in this moment, but instead I smile, nodding at her as she moves further away. “Have a nice night, Emma.” I clock her as she moves across the lawn to her own house.

She turns just before entering through her door to give me a small wave.

“Down boy,” I whisper to my dick, knowing full well I won’t be able to stay away from this girl.

Emma

“He’s trouble.” I say when I get inside. I felt him stare at me the whole time I walked back to my house. Do you realize how hard it was to walk away from that man? From that kiss?

I mean, that kiss alone was enough to change the course of nature. To change every particle in my body’s makeup to vibrate toward him.

That kiss was something that I can’t ever let happen again.

Axel can not become a problem. I need to stay away from him. I knew it from the first moment I met him. Those green eyes staring at me in a way no other man had before.

I’m screwed.

And that’s not counting his lap dance. Normally, lap dances don’t do anything for me. I’m in the business. I understand rubbing up on someone with no desire to take it anywhere further than their wallet, but that was before Axel.

Even though he’d been working all night, he smelled masculine and sexy as hell. His scent filled my nose, making the screaming women around me fade into darkness. I wanted to drown in him as he grinded against me. His body moving against me, causing a fire to burn deep in my abdomen, spreading through my veins like lava. My breath tightens as I think of his lips brushing against my neck to get to my ear, his deep voice penetrating, igniting a lust so intense I thought I was going to catch fire right there on the chair.

When he called my name I knew I shouldn’t have joined him on his porch. Now talking to him, listening to his excitement of getting out of dancing and owning his own club, he’s even more human to me.

But I’m a fool. I seriously thought I could give him a lap dance and turn him on while staying neutral. Well, I am not Switzerland. Every cell in my body came alive while I danced for him on his porch.

My body’s still alive with energy as I peel off my dress and jump in the shower.

Drying off, I barely pull on a tank top and shorts before landing face first in bed. Just as I’m melting off to sleep a scream pierces the air, bringing me back to the land of the living. I race down the hallway toward Felicity’s room. She’s in her bed whimpering, her little face scrunched up with fear.

“Hey, baby. It’s just a nightmare. I’m here.” I pull her toward me. Her tiny arms wrap around me as she shakes enough to almost knock me down. My heart breaks for her when she looks up at me with tears leaking out of her eyes. She’s been having nightmares for a while. I was hoping moving away would lessen them. I guess I was wrong.

“It’s ok.” I kiss the top of her head, closing my eyes as I breathe her in. I jump when there’s a loud authoritative bang on my front door.

Felicity’s eyes seek mine, I give her a little smile. “I’m pretty sure you woke the neighbors.” Her eyes widen. I kiss her tear stained cheek. “Let me go tell them everything is fine. Do you want to come with me, or stay in bed?”

“I’ll stay, but come back.”

“I’ll be right back.” I kiss her one more time, handing her the stuffed bunny she’s never without and walk to the door. I’m not sure how I know, but a feeling creeps in, knowing it’s Axel at my door.

There’s another loud knock on the door as I rush down the hallway. I peek through the peephole just in time to hear Axel yell that he’s going to kick the door down if I don’t answer.

“Alpha much?” I open the door, but my face drops at the panic clearly written all over Axel’s face.

His hair stands in all directions
