Chapter 45
Alexander

I stepped back from Madison, her legs still dangling off my kitchen counter, the silk robe barely covering what I’d thoroughly explored last night. The sight of her there, disheveled and marked by my attention, tested my self–control.
“Alex! Where are you, man?” Anthony’s voice boomed through the speaker.
I ran a hand through my hair, pacing toward the living room. “At home. What do you want?”
“Home? Since when have you skipped morning meetings?” He laughed. “Listen, we’re getting everyone together next Sunday for dinner. The usual crew.”
My jaw clenched. I knew exactly what ‘the usual crew‘ meant – Anthony’s rotating collection of eligible socialites he kept trying to set me up with. “Dinner on Next Sunday? Can’t make it.”
“Come on-
“And while we’re at it, stop with the matchmaking attempts. I’m not interested.” I caught a glimpse of Madison shifting on the counter, the robe sliding higher. Fuck.
“Matchmaking? It’s just dinner, you paranoid bastard.” Anthony’s amusement grated on my nerves. “Though now that you mention it, a girl was asking about you…‘
“I don’t have time for this.” I turned away from the kitchen entirely, forcing myself to focus. “Meet me for drinks later if you want, but postpone the dinner. Or have it without me.”
“Jesus, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” There was a pause. “Or maybe the right side? You sound different.”
“Drinks or not, Anthony?”
He chuckled. “Fine, fine. Drinks it is. I’ll text you.”
I ended the call, tossing my phone onto the couch. The things I had planned for this morning didn’t include Anthony’s interruptions or his matchmaking schemes. They involved Madison in my kitchen, wearing nothing but my robe, waiting for me to continue what we’d started.
Time to remedy that.
I returned to the kitchen, where Madison was still perched on my counter. Her fingers toyed with the loose silk ties of my robe, and those long legs stretched out before her. A feast laid out on marble.
“Mr. Knight, I should probably get ready for work.” Her voice wavered as I stepped between her thighs.

“You’re already at work.” I traced a finger along her collarbone. “And I’m your boss, remember? I say when you start.”
A blush crept across her cheeks. Even after everything we’d done, she still blushed like an innocent. It made me want to discover just how far down that rosy flush extended. Fucking delicious.
“But the office-”
I silenced her with a kiss, rough and demanding. My hands tangled in her hair, pulling her closer until there was no space left between us. The heat of her body ignited something primal in me. I needed more. I always needed more with Madison.
Her lips parted, and I took the invitation, exploring her mouth with a hunger that never seemed to be sated. She tasted like coffee and temptation, and I groaned into the kiss, feeling her shiver against
Breaking away, I caught my breath, looking down at her flushed face and those damnably alluring eyes. “You knew exactly what you were doing when you put on this robe.” My hand slid down to cup her breast through the silk, feeling the soft weight fill my palm. Her nipples hardened against the fabric.
Her eyes widened. “I–I just wore what was closest.”
“Sure you did,” I growled, squeezing gently until she gasped. “No panties, no bra. Just you and this flimsy excuse for clothing.” My other hand tugged at the knot of the robe’s belt, loosening it further.
Her cheeks flamed red. “It was comfortable.”
“Comfortable?” I laughed low in my throat. “Admit it, Madison. You wanted to seduce me.”
Her eyes darted away, that blush deepening. “N–no, of course not.
I traced my thumb across her bottom lip, feeling her breath catch. Watching her squirm under my gaze sent heat straight to my groin. “Liar.”
“I’m not-”
“You are.” I pressed closer, my hands sliding up her thighs. “But I’ll let it slide. For now.” My fingers traced patterns on her skin, making her shiver. “Though next time, I expect honesty from your pretty mouth.”
She swallowed hard, her pulse racing beneath my touch as I traced her neck. “Yes, Mr. Knight.”
Fuck, the way she said my name. I crashed my lips against hers, swallowing her gasp. My hands gripped her hips, pulling her to the edge of the counter until she pressed against my growing hardness. The silk robe had fallen open, giving me access to all that smooth skin.

The shrill ring of my phone cut through the moment.

“God fucking dammit.” I pulled back, my breath ragged. Madison’s lips were swollen from my kiss, her chest heaving. The sight made me want to throw the damn phone out the window.
The ringing continued, insistent.
“Ignore it,” I growled, leaning in again.
Another ring.
“Fuck!” I stormed into the living room, snatching up my phone. The movement made my shorts shift uncomfortably against my erection. Perfect timing, as always. “This better be important.”
“Madelyn Knight” flashed across my screen. Perfect. My stepmother’s impeccable timing struck again.
I glanced back at Madison, still perched on my counter with that thoroughly kissed look on her face. The sight made my shorts even more uncomfortable. “Go take a shower, sweetheart. Use my bathroom.”
Her eyes widened. “But-”
“Now.” I softened my command with a wink. “And leave that robe here.”
A delightful blush spread across her cheeks as she slipped off the counter, the silk robe barely clinging to her shoulders.
As she let it fall, it pooled at her feet, giving me one last tantalizing view of her naked body. Fuck, she was stunning. Her perfect, round ass was on full display, and I caught a glimpse of her pussy, already glistening and ready for me. Her tits were magnificent, full, and begging to be touched.
As she turned to dart toward my bedroom, I watched the seductive sway of her hips, her ass moving in a way that was going to fucking kill me. Goddamn, I wanted to bite it, to leave my mark on her.
The sight of her walking away, completely bare, was almost too much to handle. I let out a low groan, adjusting myself as I watched her disappear into my room, the image of her naked body seared into my mind. Those curves, that perfect ass, the way she moved – fuck, my shorts were getting painfully tight.
The phone had stopped ringing. I blinked, dragging my attention back to reality. Madelyn’s name still glowed on the screen, a reminder of her interrupted call. Part of me wanted to ignore it, to follow that delectable trail Madison had left straight into my shower.
The things I could do to her in there…
My cock twitched at the thought. I could already picture her wet body pressed against the marble

tiles, water cascading down her curves as I took her from behind. The way she’d moan my name, those little gasps she made when I hit just the right spot…
“Focus, Alexander,” I muttered, adjusting myself again. These shorts weren’t helping the situation, and neither was the lack of underwear, which had seemed like a good idea earlier.
I hit redial, pacing the living room. My eyes kept drifting toward my bedroom door. The silk robe lay abandoned on my kitchen floor, a reminder of what I was missing.
“Alexander?” Madelyn’s voice crackled through the speaker.
“Madelyn. What a surprise.”
“How are you, dear? It’s been too long since we talked.”
I paced the living room, my bare feet padding against the cool marble. “I’m good. Busy with work, as usual.”
“Yes, about that…” Her tone shifted. “I heard you refused to approve Scarlett’s international expansion plans.”
Fuck. Of course, that’s what this was about. “The board and I reviewed her proposal. It wasn’t viable.

“But darling, her company is doing so well! The profits-”
“Are being reinvested instead of paying dividends,” I cut in. “She’s expanding too aggressively without proper market analysis.”
