Nikolai pulled his pearl grey Jaguar into the parking space to the right of the little brick bakery. The sign hanging from the brightly colored awning held the words boasting Ivy's Aphrodisiac in a flirty script.
Smiling to himself Nikolai climbs out of his car and heads towards the bakery's front window so he can observe for a moment. He learned long ago that a successful businessman always considers each situation before acting.
Coming to stop by the crystal clear glass he looks inside, taking mental notes of things to be changed or left alone. As he scans the brightly lit counter his eyes come to a halt when they alighted on the little blond working behind the counter.
She is definitely not going to be changed. Thought Nikolai as he continued taking in the woman's features.
The woman's shoulder length blond hair was held back from her heart-shaped face by two braids in the back of her head. Two braids that Nikolai wanted to curl his fist around as her pumped into her sweet flesh from behind.
Her pink tank top did a poor job of concealing her round, soft breast, which he was immensely grateful for.
Nikolai felt himself start to harden as he continued to take in her small body. She was short, maybe a little over five foot, and curvy in all the right places. He could almost feel her legs wrap around his waist as he pushed into her.
God he would love to fuck her up against a wall. He bet she would give as good as she got. Not the uptight quiet women he always seemed to attract. Nikolai shook his head when he realized where his thoughts were going.
Turning from the window he heads towards the front door. Taking one last breath of fresh air to help clear his head, he pushes the door open.
The little blond looks up from her task of restocking the baked goods and stops him in his tracks with a wide bright smile.
"Good morning." Said the woman as she rounded the counter with her petite hand stretched out to him.
"Morning." Replied Nikolai. Up close he noticed that she was younger that he originally thought. He also realized that she just might be the only person other than his mother who knew how to genuinely smile.
The kind of smile that lit up the eyes. Beautiful light brown eyes with streaks of gold bolting through them. Honey colored eyelashes and brows made his mind wonder what else might be that sweet shade.
Ivy's brows rose when the handsome dark stranger continued to stare at her and ignore her outstretched hand.
Feeling that she had waited long enough to be polite, Ivy reached for his hand that was still at his side.
"This is where you take my hand and shake it back." Ivy said with a smile in her voice and on her coral colored lips.
Once again shaking out of his lust induced trance Nikolai gave back an embarrassed smile. "Sorry, you caught me off-guard by coming around the counter. First time I've actually been greeted that way in a bakery."
"Uh huh, nice save. You can always get around me by completing my bakery." Laughed Ivy.
"This is your place?" Shock coloring his voice.
"Is that so hard to believe. What did you expect? A little old lady." Ivy mocked the stranger.
"Well no, but I just thought the owner would be a bit older." Nikolai realized how stupid he sounded and stopped speaking. But not before Ivy took offense to the comment.
"Well, I'm sorry if you think I'm too young, but age obviously doesn't make everyone wiser." Ivy said looking straight into his gray-green eyes.
No longer smiling Ivy turned from the man and walked back behind the counter. "Is there something I can get for you or are you just walking the around the Village spreading your own special sunshine."
Nikolai couldn't fight back the laughter or smile at her forward comment. People never talk to him like that and he never realized how much he missed it.
Ivy looked at him as if he had gone mad, which sobered him up a bit.
