hunger. There was something off about this Madison woman and finding out what that was, was not an option. She was too tempting. She was plain as far as he could tell, but that was just the package. What lay inside was driving him insane. All night he tossed and turned, trying to fight the urge to go back to her room and have a taste. Finally in the morning he couldn’t take anymore and took a long cold shower, trying to wake up. Now he just had to go home and avoid the woman. It shouldn’t be too hard. He never ate meals and didn’t go into the main house. He would relax in his room and file his reports for the day online. Then he could catch up on some sleep. His eyes narrowed on something two miles down the road, a woman. His eyesight was perfect. He smiled. That was a good thing in this case. This woman was perfection. “Holy shit,” he mumbled softly as he slowed down so that he could take his time appreciating this beauty. Her hair shimmered in the sun. It was beautiful and black. Generous hips swayed gently beneath a short skirt. Her backside was perfectly curved as well as her legs. She had a beautiful golden tan. Damn, this woman was hot. He was willing to bet the front would be just as inviting. He shifted in his seat and laughed. It looked like his body was interested. Perhaps this beauty would like to help end over a hundred years of celibacy. It seemed he no longer thought sex was boring. He checked his breath and hair and sped up. Ephraim didn’t look at her as he drove past. He pulled his car onto the shoulder twenty yards ahead and watched her approach. His groin hardened painfully. She was even more beautiful than he imagined. Her face was raised to the sun while her eyes were closed. She looked like she was enjoying the sun, well that was fine because it allowed him to enjoy the view freely. Her face was stunning. She was so beautiful it hurt. Her black hair and tan complexion meshed together perfectly. She was shorter than him, but he liked his women shorter. Her breasts were good size, but not too big. They looked like they would fill his hands perfectly with no waste. Her waist was narrow while her hips were wide. He was imagining her legs wrapped around him as she walked past his car. It had been a very long time since he wooed a woman. He was sure it hadn’t changed that much, flirt, keep eye contact and make a suggestion. No wait, they went on a date first nowadays. Okay, so he had to get her to agree to a date, dinner and a movie. That was the new mating ritual. He bought her some entertainment and then she would provide him with some. That’s how they did it in the movies at least. First he had to talk to her. He stepped out of the car and adjusted his gun and tie. “Excuse me, miss?” He used his most charming smile. The woman stopped and turned around. Beautiful brown eyes met his. They reminded him of someone. He couldn’t think past how beautiful she was. It left him speechless until she spoke of course. “Ephraim?” She looked worried. “Are you okay?” She knew him? Impossible. He would never forget meeting someone like her. He didn’t want to let her know that he didn’t remember her. He seemed to remember that women hated it when he forgot their names. “What are you doing out here walking?” He gestured to the long stretch of road. She bit her lip. “My car finally died. I left it with Earl. He promised me a proper burial.” She smiled. It was contagious, he couldn’t help smiling back. He gestured to his car. “Do you want a ride?” She looked up at the sun and then back at him. “No, thank you. It’s too beautiful a day to waste.” His thoughts exactly. “It’s only another mile. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.” She sounded like she was saying goodbye. He didn’t want her to say goodbye that meant he wouldn’t be able to look at her for much longer. A mile? She gave him a clue. His brain raced to figure it out. He
