Chapter 66 - Hot And Bothered (2/2)

Jackson removed the dripping wet shirt from his head and looked at it confusedly. That was when he noticed that Halia's jeans were already on the ground. She was right, their clothes were completely soaked and it would make the entire lab wet if they walked out like this. But, when his eyes ran across the smooth skin on her legs and arms, the thought of her wearing only her lingerie underneath the towel, made him extremely hot and bothered.

...

Meanwhile, over at Halia's apartment, Max was beginning to realize that he had no excuse to see Cleo again after Halia was back. Unwilling to give up, he came up with a plan, ”Hey Cleo, I remember you mentioned last time that you're a dietitian, is that right?”

Cleo nodded her head as she placed Coco on the ground. The little brown toy poodle ran over to her dish and started eating.

”Would you like some contract work? I'm actually opening a restaurant and I could do with your help to check the menu,” Max suggested.

Cleo looked at the man happily, ”I would love to help you out.”

Max smiled as he cheered on the inside. That was easier than he thought!

”Are you free after this?” he immediately asked.

”Sure,” Cleo replied. ”Do you want to come to my place for a cup of tea or coffee while I change into some proper clothes?”

Max froze. Her place?

Max scanned his eyes across the woman. Sure, she was attractive, but that wasn't the only thing that Max liked about her, so he didn't actually notice what she was wearing until now. She had just returned from her daily walk with Maximus, so she was in a pair of tight grey jogging pants, a pastel pink crop top and a loose hooded grey windbreaker. The pants hugged the woman's body perfectly, outlining her fit body and the crop top revealed her nicely sculpted abs. Of course, she was a dietitian, so it was apparent that she took good care of her body.

Max felt his heart race as he nodded his head. ”Tea would be nice,” he replied with a gulp.
