huge that dog was, and then I flushed thinking about the dream she interrupted me from this morning. “Yeah she is pretty big, 85lbs. now.” I said shyly. “Nice, I love big dogs. German shepherds especially, they are so smart and can do anything, that’s why they are used in the police force and military.”  Bringing up military made me think of his career. “So, you’re a navy seal. You must be very proud of yourself to get that honor. I bet you have travelled all over the world.” He looked off, not really looking at anything particular. “It has its benefits, and you own your own studio?”
    “Yes, I opened Scars to help people gain confidence in themselves. By learning self defense, you hold your head high; because you know you can handle yourself. I do kickboxing as well. It’s a great work out and works with the self defense.” He seemed amused a bit. “Your moves are very good, I know I am a navy seal but you really could hold your own against most everyone. Not sure you could beat me though.”  He winked! A challenge huh? “You should volunteer for one of my classes. We will see if I could take you.” His right eyebrow lifted in challenge. “I just might do that.”
    I heard a bark outside the door. Roxy must be done chasing little crabs and is now wondering where I am. “Well that is my alarm. Roxy is wondering where I am.”  I stood up and started to head for the door. I heard him following behind me. “I would like to see this beast of a dog.” I opened the door and Roxy bypassed me and went straight to barking at Darien. “Holy dog Batman!” he shouted.  “Hey that’s my line!”  I blurted out. He laughed, oops I didn’t mean to say that out loud.  “Roxy sit.” He spoke with authority in his voice. It even made me want to sit.  Roxy sat, and looked up at him waiting her next orders. He bent down and rubbed her head and patted her back. It was nice to see him so gentle. He looked like such a dangerous man.  Dangerous and gentle, just thinking about those things put together in one man, makes my insides quiver. I bet he is very adventurous and takes control in bed, but also the type of man that would make sure you always got your pleasure out of it before him. I shivered. “Are you cold?” He asked, although with the hunger in his eyes I think he had an inkling about what I was thinking. My lips parted, I was stuck staring at him. He stood and came closer; he reached out and tucked a curl that was hanging in my face behind my ear. I gasped. Oh no I am already falling under this man’s spell. He came closer; Oh god was he going to kiss me? What would I do? Would I kiss him back? Push him away?  I just stood there waiting to see what was going to happen. He stopped just about an inch from my mouth. I could feel his breath on me. It shot a lightning bolt of pleasure down between my legs. My body felt warm, feverish. He whispered “Scarlet, what are we getting into?” I gasped. I have got to get out of here! I looked into his eyes and panicked.  “Bye Darien.” With that said I turned and walked back to my house, Roxy followed me. I swear I heard her sigh, like she was saying geez Scarlet you almost had him. 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 4
    Darien
    I watched Scarlet run away to her house. What just happened here?  One minute I was petting Roxy then the next I was about to go all caveman on that woman. I would have kissed her, picked her up and carried her to the couch. Oh god, the way my name sounded on her lips, it was just like before at the bar! I just want to hear her say my name over and over while I wrap her legs around me. Ah great! I’m going to go take a cold shower. I make my way upstairs, and use the second bathroom. It is still a little weird being Aunt Tara’s house, it smells like her.  Well thinking about my dead aunt was definitely a way to get my hard on gone. I still take a cold shower more or less as preventative care. I stepped out
