Chapter one
Charlie's pov
Charlie was standing by a table with a drink in hand in one of her favourite nightclubs here in the city while watching her slightly drunk friends out on the dance-floor. She had a slight headache and wasn't really in the mood to be out partying after siting on a plane for eighteen hours, but she hadn't seen her friends here since she moved back to Summerbay after a few years as a cop in the city. So when she mentioned that her plane from Italy would be arriving here after she had been abroad for six months, they had immediately decided that she would be staying a night here with them before going home. So despite being tired she was actually enjoying it a bit.
Sam came strutting over in her high heels, swaying her hips to give the guy she left out on the dance-floor a good show with a satisfied smirk on her face. She plonked herself down in one of the high barstools around the table and grabbed Charlie's drink out of her hand.
"God I needed that, he was such a bore. Either he had his tongue stuck in my ear or he was nagging it of by talking about soccer-teams. Like I give a flying rats about soccer-teams while I'm trying to get laid. Seriously!"
She couldn't contain her laughter, Sam always spoke her mind and her witty comebacks and trashtalks never failed to crack you up even on the worst of days at work. Her brutal honesty and trouble to keep her trot shut could also bring troubles and be slightly annoying, but she was the best partner she ever had. She didn't take anyones crap, gave as she got and she would never back down once she got something in her head, it could make even the toughest guys scared.
Sam cooked her eyebrow and looked at her suspiciously over the rim of her glass.
"What?! He was, no I have to find someone else to take home tonight. So how's your man-hunting going? Or are you to picky no that you have been spoiled with dashing men in suits at Wall-street and tanned, blue eyed Italians?"
Charlie just shook her head at her ex-partner and continued to look over the room that was so filled with people it was hard to tell what they looked like.
The girls had somehow gotten it into them that the six months she had spent traveling the world had been a sleep-with-a-man-in-every-country kinda trip. Sure there had been a few but hardly as many as they thought there had been. It really had been a trip for her to let go and clear her head.
She had been in every place she had ever wanted to visit, she had been in Thailand, Japan, the U.S, Italy, France, Greece... you name it and it had done her a lot of good. She could finally sleep through the night with out walking up covered in sweet after dreaming of Grant and that night over and over again, sure she hadn't forgotten about it but she thought of it less and she was finally able to start living again.
She was startled out of her thought by Sam letting out a wolf-whistle right next to her ear, causing a slight ringer in her ear.
"What the heck Sam?! Are you trying to make me deaf or something?"
"Pish,posh look at that will ya! That's what I call sex on a stick."
She followed her friends gaze that was focused at the doorway where five, fine looking guys was standing, looking out over the room. Sam was right, it was seriously sex on a stick material. One guy in particular caught her attention, he had brown hair, piercing grey eyes that drew her in, his face had sharp lines that defined him very well and a seriously sexy smile that could make every girl melt at his feet. She knew at once that he was a bad guy and that she should stay away from him so that she wouldn't be just another notch to his belt and increase his ego.
Just as she was about to look away his eyes locked with hers, making it impossible for her to look away. She just stood there leaning slightly against the table, her legs crossed making her dress ride up slightly on her thigh and a quite plain face she hoped. It was almost as she could feel his eyes roaming her body from top to toe and back up again to once more meet her eyes, the intense stare made her nervous so she quickly broke their gaze and focused on Taylor and Emily who were making their way towards them, hoping Sam hadn't noticed and wouldn't make a big deal out of it. But there was no such luck.
"I think we've found your man tonight Charls. Let's give him something to dream about yeah." Sam tugged her out on the dance-floor by dragging her by the arm so hard she was afraid it was gonna pop out.
The guys had made their way over to the bar that were just a few feet away from were they where out on the dance-floor. The guy that her caught her eye was leaning on the bar facing the dance-floor, looking straight at her and it made her slightly self-conscious but after a minute she was totally focused on the music and her friends as they swayed their hips carefree. Every once in a while she would look over the bar and see the piercing grey eyes that was following her moves and hold their gaze for only a second before turning back to her friends.
Brax's pov
He walked sighing into his club with the guys in tow, they were on their way out just as his phone rang with an emergency at work. The guys thought it was great, cause that meant that they could hang around the club while he went and took care of the problem. His club was one of the hottest clubs in town and was filled with ladies looking for a night of fun, but he had made himself a sort of rule not to go hunting in his own club, it only caused trouble, much to his friends despair.
He left his friends waiting in the line while he snuck through the crowded dance-floor to his office that he had placed on the other end of the club, which he cursed right now. As he made his way behind the tables that were surrounding the floor he spotted a absolutely stunning woman that he just couldn't take his eyes of. Her dark hair was thrown over one shoulder and feel down in lose curls and she wore a off white, silky dress that ended mid thigh, it hang loosely around her upper body but went skin tight around her arse.
At that moment and time his rule about not hunting at his own club went out the window, he was going home with her tonight one way or another.
He hurried into his office and quickly finished what needed to be down before locking it up, stealing on last glance at his woman to make sure she was still there and then went out to the boys that was no first in line. As soon as they saw him coming towards them they sighed in frustration and got ready to head out again, they was sure as hell gonna kiss him when they heard his suggestion.
"You just couldn't drag your as for once, could ya?"
"We're staying here tonight" All the boys mouth dropped open and he couldn't help but laugh at their dumb expressions. "You heard me, or do you rather go somewhere else you're welcome to do so but I'm staying here."
Mike took a step forward and waved a hand in front of his face as he wore a worried expression on his face. "Are you feeling alright Brax?"
"Yeah I'm fine mate, don't worry about it. Are you guys coming or what?" With that he turned around and walked back to entrance with the guys following closely behind. He watches the room looking for his woman yet again and when he finds her again she looks up and he his met by a pair of beautiful, blue eyes. Here from the top of the stairs he got a better view of her body then he did in the crowd, her legs were crossed and her dress was short which put her sexy, slender legs on display and it almost made him drool.
"I think we've found Brax's rule breaker."
"That's right. And she's mine so stay away or I'll break ya necks, now let's get a bear.
He had barley sat down at the barstool when the barman brought them their bears, that's the upside of being the boss. Letting the cool the beverage slide down his throat he spun around on his chair so that he was looking out at the room while siping his bear. He let his eyes roam around the room lazily enjoying seeing his pride and joy in action, as they reach the dance-floor the sight he's met with makes his eyes pop out in shock. On the dance-floor he could see her dancing closely with her blonde friend, he got lost in her movements and she just drew him in more and increased his interest for her.
For the rest of the night he sat at the bar with his buddies, talking if one of them wasn't out on the dance floor with some girl. Every once in a while he would watch her intensely wiling her to look up at him and at the times that she did he could see the want in her eyes too. Just as he was about to walk over to her he was ambushed buy a bouncing blonde. Her blonde hair was long and straight framing her face and bringing out her blue eyes, normally this was the kind of girl he would leave with at the end of the night it tonight was going to be different.
He tried his hardest to make her leave him alone so he could walk over to the stunning brunette who was now walking of the dance floor, but the tipsy blonde wouldn't walk away. Instead she dragged him out on the dance floor and insisted that he should dance with her. She pressed herself close to him and started to whisper suggestions in his ear in a husky voice and for once in his life he only cringed at the words and got no excitement at all, his head was to occupied by thoughts of one girl. Never in his life had one girl got to him this much and it slightly irritated him, he needed to get this girl over to his place, fuck her to oblivion and then he would be free of her.
As he finally manage to get away from the blonde he search frantically after he when he couldn't spot her over at the table with her friends, she couldn't have left could she. He walked over to the bar as he cursed the stupid blonde for ruining his chances to clear his head of this insanity.
He was sitting glumly at his chair drinking his bear with his back facing the floor, having given up hope, when he spotted her leaning over the bar further down. He jumped of his chair and walked so close to her that they were almost touching and he cold feel the heat radiating from her body. He leaned at the bar on his side so he was level with her face and when he leaned in he was met by the sent of her perfume and it almost drove him insane.
"So when are we leaving"
He was just a few feet away from her ear and he could see how she tried to hide the fact that she was startled and affected by his presence. She turned to face him with raised eyebrows and a small teasing smile, and once again he was struck by how utterly gorgeous she was.
"What are you on about tough-guy?"
" I asked when we were leaving, cause you're going home with me tonight." She took the last remaining step it took for their chests to be pressed together, because of her high heels she only had to crane her neck a little bit to reach up to his ear and she took full advantage of that.
"Is that so ay?" Her voice was husky and it sent chills up his spine and made his jeans a bit to tight, god he wanted this woman. He nuzzled her ear and he could feel her tremble against him.
"Yeah, and I should tell you... I always get what I want."
"And what is it that you want, tough-guy."
"I want you on your back, in my bed, with those sexy legs of yours wrapped around me as I make you scream my name." She steadied herself by putting her hands on his chest and it felt good being this close to her.
"So what's your name stranger."
"Brax, and what's yours gorgeous?" She looked him straight in the eye, her blue ones glistering with mischief and he really wanted to find out.
"Charlie, so how about it Brax? Gonna buy me a drink or what?"
At that he couldn't help but let out a full hearted laugh, she was not a chicken that's for sure and defiantly not a push over. He was gonna have to work for it, cause he had a pretty strong feeling that she wouldn't just go with him because he was charming, she was smarter then that.
When he stopped laughing he took a step away from her and watch her with a smile has leaned back over the bar.
"Okay then, what are you having?"
"Beer, please!" She sent him a cheeky smile and then turned back to the bartender and flashed him a bright smile as he brought her beer over.
"A woman after my own heart, if you say that you surf to I'll marry ya."
"I might be able to catch a wave or two."
"So you're not from around here then?"
"I used to. I worked here a couple of years ago."
"So were have you been since then?"
"The last six months I've been out traveling so I've been in Thailand, Japan, the U.S, Europe... name it and I've been there."
"Wow, that most be some work!" She cleared her throat and played with her bottle as she smiled and nodded her head.
They stayed there for a while and talked about a lot of things and he found that she was actually fun to talk to as well, not just to look at. Three beers later she stood from her chair and grabbed a hold of his hand and tugged him out to the dance-floor. After a painful but yet satisfying time on the dance-floor with Charlie's as rubbing itself at his crotch, a lot of flirting being whispered in each others ears and she finally turned around and begged him to take her out of there.
He now had her pinned up against his bedroom wall, his shirt and her dress lay in a heap on the floor long forgotten, the only thing that mattered was the feel of the other's body pressed up against it's own, trying to reach your own satisfaction. Her hands traveled across his back, up his neck and into his hair, massaging his scalp as his hands groped her arse and held her neck in the right angle as their tongues fought with each other. He groaned as she broke free from their kiss and started planting butterfly kisses from his jaw-line down his neck, while her hands tried to unbuckle his pants. As soon as she had them done he kicked them off and got to work on her strapless bra, and the sight that met him literally took his breath away. He carried her from the wall and put her down on his bed, just were he wanted her, and climbed on top of her. He quickly got rid of their remaining clothes and thrust into her slick entrance with one quick stroke that got her to cry out in pleasure, and he felt a bit proud that he did that to her.
"Oh god- Braax!"He smirked down at her and leaned in so that their lips were barley touching. "Told ya I always get what I want, Beautiful."
As they both came down from their high they collapsed in each other's embrace and they were soon asleep. Before his eyes closed he gathered her up in his arms and pulled her close to him so he could burry his face in her neck. Something inside him didn't want to let her go, she was beyond what he had expected. She was not just a pretty shell, there were something else there he couldn't just put his finger on, she had fire and what they just had done was beyond amazing.
So guys, tell me what you think of the plot and the first chapter, is it something you want more of? Please review, it's fun to hear what you have to say.
