Out of Time

Madison My best friend and neighbor, Piper, is trying to arrange a blind date for me. I agree because she doesn’t take no as an answer. But why won’t she tell me his name? Anyway, it is just for tonight and I want to have some fun? Liam I managed to stay away from her for years because I’m no good for her. Will I have the strength to keep my hands off her one more time? ******** When Madison left her secure and stable job in the financial industry for an uncertain position within a startup, she regretted nothing. Well almost nothing. She regretted that she will not be seeing her CEO Liam Carver anymore. Liam is a big player both in business and in private affairs. He is a billionaire, always on the move for the next new venture. She knew she was not his type but catching a glimpse of him while he passed through her section on the way to his next meeting, was more than enough to make her day. Three years later Madison has a new life and new friends and life couldn’t be better. But she never forgot the gorgeous looking ex CEO. Liam can’t believe his luck when he discovers that the mysterious neighbor is Madison. She worked for him a few years ago, but that is not the reason why he remembered her. Madison was the most beautiful woman he ever saw and the only one he will not let himself touch. Torn between his inner demon and the desire to see her again, the pull towards her makes him accept Piper’s matchmaking offer to hook him up on this blind date. Well not so blind for him because he exactly knows what he is getting into… Or doesn’t he?

Chapter 35

It's still dark outside when I opened my eyes. I don't recognize where I am until my eyes are accustomed to the half-light in the room and I’m able to distinguish shapes around me. My brain starts working. Aspen… Liam’s house.

Liam stirs in his sleep, as he turns around his hand comes in contact with my body. He automatically pulls me tight next to him. Last night was perfect. We poked at some hard things and I’m still not able to tell him everything.

No matter how nice he is to me, I feel out of place. This house, the fact he uses private jet planes as other people use bus transportation, hands out downtown apartments like sharing half of his cookie with somebody. He lives in the stratosphere while me, I’m still a fungus crawling in the dirt.
