client, not a random woman he had met on a night out. That was breaching ethics.
    But his body and his bear were saying otherwise. They were demanding that he went after Amanda and join her in the showers. He ignored them and gathered his things. He needed that fifteen minutes to get himself under control.
    A cold shower was certainly on the menu for him.

    Amanda left the gym on lighter feet. She felt invigorated. The session had been brutal but she hadn't cared. It had left her pumped and wanting more. The adrenaline was still going through her even now.
    It also helped that her personal trainer was the sexiest-looking man she had met in a long time. Even at his best, Tommy couldn't compete. She had caught him looking at her when he thought she wouldn't notice and he hadn't been disgusted with what he had seen. If anything, he had looked hungry. Practically aroused if the sudden tightness around his groin was anything to go by.
    Amanda now knew what her friends meant when they found it boosting when a man looked at them like he wanted to lick her from head to toe before he ate them. It had her whole body tingling. The muscles between her legs were throbbing close to discomfort because she hadn't got herself wrapped around his body and ridden him until both of them were exhausted.
    That had her head spinning. She had never reacted this quickly to a man before, not even her ex. There was something about Grayson Allen that had Amanda wanting to explore every inch of him.
    But she couldn't. He was her personal trainer and she was essentially his client. She groaned. Of all the people he had to be...
    A hand grabbed at her shoulder. Amanda yelped and twisted away, swinging her gym bag. She backed away, her body tensed ready to run. She bit back a yelp when a shadow moved out of the bushes and the shape of the man she didn't want to see again appeared.
    "Tommy!"
    Thomas Goppert gave her a sheepish look. In the past that look had been endearing. Now Amanda just considered it annoying.
    "Sorry, Mandy. Didn't meant to scare you."
    Amanda glanced around them. It was dark and they were the only ones in the parking lot. The gym was still busy but it was too far away. She was going to have to deal with Tommy on her own. She shifted her bag to her shoulder, gripping the straps in her fist.
    "How did you know where I was?"
    "Someone mentioned seeing your car here and I thought I'd come and find you." Tommy looked towards the gym and snorted in amusement. "I must admit I thought they were joking. You've never stepped foot in a gym in your life."
    "We all make changes." Amanda didn't respond to the underlying meaning to his words. "And I don't believe you. My car's generic so no one would know it was mine. You've been stalking me."
    "It's not stalking, it's checking on your welfare."
    Amanda growled. She didn't know how she had managed to stay with Tommy for as long as she had. He was a possessive creep and he was pushing her buttons.
    "I told you to leave me alone, Tommy. That included face-to-face as well as over the phone."
    "I know but I needed to talk to you urgently." Tommy protested. "And you can't hang up on me face-to-face."
    He was up to something. Amanda knew it. She wanted him to go away, disappear into thin air, and leave her alone for good. Obviously he wasn't getting the message. She glanced at her watch and sighed. She wasn't a mean woman by nature and it was that nice part of her that was telling her to give Tommy a moment of her time.
    "You've got thirty seconds."
    She was expecting excuses as to why he 'lapsed'. He had used that exact word in a previous phone call. She wasn't interested but she wanted to see if he would actually apologize for treating her as he did.
    Tommy stuffed his hands into his pockets and stared down at the floor.
    "I treated you badly." He said solemnly. "I know that. And I got the wool pulled over my eyes by that little...that girl who led me astray." He caught himself before he
