Chapter 1

Ethan’s POV

Going to a bar after spending a dozen hours at the office is a relaxing idea to pick any woman and spend the night with them. Being best friends with Finn Miller does that to you especially when he’s the most wanted playboy in the town.

Women are seductive specimens in the town, with a simple bang, they idolise you with their big eyes.

It wasn’t surprising once I entered the bar, that the women were staring at me. I simply enjoyed the outcome of every night.

“Hey bro, have you found which one you want?”

I wore a serious expression and faced Finn. Being a businessman meant being serious and having a business-like persona so that women would drop to their knees.

I glanced around the bar, noticing various women dancing in a seducing manner, a few women drinking whilst taking a glance at me. I was, for one, a wanted bachelor.

The VIP bar suite had the women I wanted but I was still keen on looking around.

“I’m going downstairs, let’s go.”

He gave a slight nod and we both headed downstairs. I looked around and saw a young brunette woman, sporting an innocent yet seducing look.

A glimpse of her bought an unknown shiver down my spine.

She was wearing tight black jeans and a small black t shirt. This wasn’t fit for a bar like this but it suited her cute innocent persona. She was drinking heavily and she was surrounded by 2 other people, who I assumed were friends.

(This is her outfit but not the main character)

I didn’t know how long I was staring for, but I knew that she felt my eyes watching her so she turned around. If her side profile was simply delicate, then her front was one of pure innocence.

She stared at me with great intensity in her brown eyes. Her friend then nudged her; she gave me a slight smile and turned around.

There again, was that slight shiver.

“Hey dude, she seems like a real catch, she doesn’t even seem fit for the bar, have you found your pick?”

I completely forgot about Finn and turned around to face him. Giving him a smirk, I proudly stated I have found who I’ll be with tonight.

He didn’t seem entirely satisfied with my response and spared a second glance at her again, only to find that she was dancing with a different guy.

“Let’s challenge ourselves a bit, shall we? We have been doing this for a year, picking up girls and then banging. That girl seems to be unaware of your desires. I bet you £1 million that you will not get her in your bed within 3 months.”

We have always been doing these bets, but it was always a tiny amount given. This was one big bet which surprised me. I gave him a menacing smirk.

“We have done this for a year, I’m sure I can deal with that daddy’s princess down there. Deal.”

With one last look on the little temptress, I stepped out of the bar, after taking a picture and sending it to my other friend, Drew, to discover the unknown beauty.

A/N: this is my first book. I hope you enjoy it, I’ve made the plot and so I hope you enjoy the journey of this story.
