Chapter 17
VICTOR
My eyes continue to follow Josie as she walks out of the gym and away from me.
Sweat drips down my back. I feel the hot drops trickling over my skin as I think about the girl coming all that way just to see me here at the mansion.
The way she looked at me as I pumped iron...
Smiling, I turn back to the weights and kick off my workout with a hell of a lot of fresh energy.
I glance at myself in the mirror as I grab the dumbbells. I’ve always liked a workout. I love to feel the pump as I flex my biceps. I love to feel the pain of muscles tearing apart and growing even bigger and stronger. I love the look of my topless body in the mirror. It’s something I have worked hard on. Us Penmaynes are blessed with good genes and a desire to fuel ourselves to the next fucking level.
Josie Gunn stood there in the doorway and looked at me like she wanted to eat me. Oh, I liked that very much. I could see her admiring my body, and I welcomed it gladly. Yeah, I showed off to her, but why wouldn’t I? Especially when I look like this.
I’ve noticed Josie looks at me with awe sometimes, and also a spot of annoyance. She seems to find me both irritating and someone interesting - a unique combination. I’m usually surrounded by yes men and yes women, so it’s something very new for me to have a woman simultaneously intrigued and pissed off at me and not just enamored with spending a night with me. Call me masochistic, but I really do like that boldness from her.
No one rejects a Penmayne.
It’s safe to say if Josie and I weren’t entering into a fake relationship, then I would definitely be trying to get her into bed...
I simply wouldn’t be able to help myself. I am a Penmayne, after all.
I continue to stare in the mirror and smile to myself.
Oh, I am bad.
