d affected him, and she was a sexy woman but yet, nothing. Many nights he lay in bed willing himself to get hard, as he thought about women he had been with before, p*rn he watched

n a deep sleep, she touched herself and

eled himself out and headed for the elevator. Getting in he made his way back to his private room. When he thought of who was waiting for him, anticipation kicked in and he got hard again, this time he grabbed himself and squeezed, trying to ease his tension. It was useless.As he entered the room again, the scent of Exclamation invaded his nostrils. She was here. "Hello Philip." Philip froze. Gone was the made-up, dressed up dancer, standing in front of him was the sexiest woman in the world. She was dressed so simple in apair of washed-out jeans and a navy blue off shoulder top. Philip felt like a lusty teenager again. He squeezed his eyes together and tried to calm his body down. He groaned and turned away from her."Are you okay? Do you need me to get Andre?" Maddy asked softly as she moved toward Philip and stood behind him. Philip groaned again and adjusted himself."I'm sorry, I... I thought I could do this, but I can't.""Oh. I'm sorry I wasted your time. If I can keep my job, I would appreciate it." She moved to head to the door. Philip turned quickly, reached out and grabbed her wrist gently."Maddy, I'm not rejecting you, quite the opposite. Sit, have some food and wine and we will talk.""Tell me what's wrong with you first, in case I have to get Andre and explain what's happening."Philip sighed. How do you tell a stranger that just seeing her made you so hard, you could pound nails. "It's embarrassing." Philip said as he shifted in his seat."Philip, I work in an elite club, your clients try to pay me thousands of dollars just to see me naked, ain't much I haven't seen.""I've been married to a woman for over five months, she has never managed to turn me on. I saw you dancing, and I've been having erections ever since." He said everything in a rush.He took a deep breath and waited for Maddy to call him nasty names and leave. "Is that all?""I want you Maddy, not because of my reaction but something about you calls to me, I need to find out what it is if you let me." "I see." Maddy sat down on the sofa and sneaked a peek the food she knew was under the bell cover. "Mmmm wings, my favorite and with Sausa's special sauce.She dipped her finger in the sauce and licked it off with only her tongue."Jesus Christ Maddison." Philip gripped the wheelchair arm, and his body shook as he fought his desires. She was doing this on purpose."Philip." Maddy's voice penetrated his thoughts. He opened his eyes slowly and saw her watching him intently. "Let's make a deal."She said in a low tone that sent needles and pins through Philip's body. She was killing him. "Tell me, hurry before I embarrass myself further.""Divorce your wife, I will be the girlfriend, I don't want anything from you but loyalty. I've been cheated on, lied to, verbally and physically abused all my life. I don't need that from you. You asked me for honesty, I am asking you for fidelity and simple respect. I don't need your money; I work hard for what I want. I will devote myself to you as long as you need me.""No." Philip said firmly as he looked her dead in the eyes. Maddy stood straight, waiting for him to continue."There is no way, you will have the title as my girlfriend and I not share my wealth with you. I was raised by a good woman, she knew her self-worth and if she found out that I had a woman as lovely as you and didn't spend money on her, she would skin me alive and call me luggage. If we don't work out, you have to be able to see rewards for your effort. It's not up for debate." "Do I have a choice?""No. Next issue.""I hate when people yell at me. I will let you be the man you need to be but I need to be the woman I am. I don't need saving; I am quite willing to work for what I need in life. Fancy cars, clothes are not important to me. What I care about is how people treat me 24 hours a day and not just when they want to look good to their peers." "Honey, I understand you quite well, look, I have some serious issues to deal with on my end, I am not saying it will be easy but all I really need from you is to believe in me, pay attention to my needs as a man. If something is wrong tell me to my face, don't hide things from me. Hurt my feelings with the truth if you have to.""Okay then, anything else popping up we have to promise to deal with it together." Maddy said softly as she sat down and smiled at Philip."Agreed. Next thing, I took a glance at your Resume, why are you in a club dancing when you should be the one running it?"Maddy sighed loudly and covered her face with her hands. Could she trust this man with her story? Yes."I had a crush on my next-door neighbor from the time I knew what a crush was. He was my Prince Charming, he taught me so many things as he was very intelligent, but what I didn't know was that because I wan
