Hey handsome.Where are you?
Five minutes later: Bulldozer: Hello, gorgeous.I'm home.How is shopping going?
Me: Good, but I want to show you something I bought.Are you alone?
Bulldozer: Yes.
Me: Okay, see you soon.
Bulldozer: Could you see Daniel when you get back?He has a package for me.
I pocket my phone, throwing my friends a wicked grin."Let the sexy games begin."
Emma squeezes my shoulder."I'm picking Samantha up from school.She and Charlotte want to bake cookies together.This way you won't get interrupted while you bang your man's brains out."
My body hums with anticipation, images of a naked Cole flooding my mind."Time to go."
They laugh as I practically shove them out of the dressing room.One hour until Operation Seduce Cole begins, and I plan to make every second count.
* * *
One hour later,I stride into the lobby, pulse already quickening with anticipation.
"Hey, Daniel."
"Oh, Miss...I mean Alisha."He hands me an envelope with my name on it."This is for you."
"Nothing for Cole?"
He shakes his head."No, just this."
Inside the elevator, I tear open the envelope to find a note in Cole's handwriting:'Hey, Alex.Please, knock on the door and wait before entering.'
I bite my lip, staring at his message.What are you up to, Walker?
The moment I enter my apartment, I shed my leather jacket and take the shopping bags straight to my room.After a quick shower, I pamper my skin with lavender cream, then slide the silky lingerie into place.Standing before the full-length mirror, I run my fingers over the material, imagining Cole's touch.My center responds instantly, dampening.My nipples press against the fabric, already hard and aching.
"Patience, girls," I whisper to my breasts."We're on our way to dazzle Daddy, and hopefully he'll give us his full attention."
I slip on a long summer coat, securing it with a loose knot.Showtime.
At Cole's door, I debate my options.Knock like he asked, or burst in?The devil in me wins.Just as I'm about to turn my key, his deep voice rumbles from the other side.
"Alex?Didn't you receive my note?"
I smirk at his serious tone."Yes, but I'm too impatient."
"Naughty, Alex."
When I try the door, it won't budge – he's clearly bracing it with his body."Nope.First, close your eyes and turn around.I promise it will be worth the hassle."
"Fine."The moment I comply, that solid wall of warmth presses against my back.His lips brush my earlobe, making my breath catch in my throat.
"Good afternoon, Alex."
Silk touches my face – a blindfold."Really?"
"Trust me."Once it's secured, he turns me around.I can't resist running my hands over him, fingers finding buttons."Hmm, a button-up shirt."My exploration continues to his jacket."What color?"
