Prologue
Eden's pov
I have always been a big girl. I'm not huge, but I am curvy. Honestly, I wouldn't want my body to be any other way. I am proud of my curves. It's not my fault society isn't smart enough to see true beauty.
I have always loved to dance. When everyone told me, I was too fat to be a dancer I had to prove them wrong. So, I now have my own studio. I cater to plus size women that love to dance just as much as I do. I make them feel good about themselves. Too many people are out there judging us. So, I give them a place to just let loose.
I am also a choreographer. I have taught some famous people a thing or two. So, when a band called Midnight Passion asked me to help out, I didn't think anything of it.
After all I am sure I must show some twig b*tches how to shake their non- existent butt. I never google a client beforehand. I think first impressions are everything. So, when I walked into an office with the sexiest man, I have ever seen in I nearly fainted.
"Um hi I was told to come here."
"Hello, you must be Eden I'm Julian the lead singer of Midnight Passion please have a seat."
"Hi yes I'm Eden how can I help you?"
"Well, I saw one of your dance videos online, and you are amazing."
I couldn't help but blush when he said this.
"Thank you so what exactly do you need from me?"
"Well, I want to hire you of course."
I didn't know if working for him would be such a great idea. The last thing I wanted to see was a bunch of bimbos rubbing up on him. I felt a jealousy I never have before at the thought of that.
"Okay if I took the job who would I be teaching to dance?"
He gave me a look then shook his head.
"No baby girl you have it all wrong. I want you to dance in my video."
Did I hear him right?
"You want me?"
"Hell, yes I want you."
Suddenly it didn't feel like we were just talking about dancing anymore. A man like Julian was extremely dangerous. I could lose my heart and get hurt by a rocker babe like him.
"I need some time to figure my schedule out to see if I can even do it."
"Take all the time you need. Just know I will make it worth your while."
I got up and walked away from him while I still had the chance too. This man was panty dropping hot. Working for him just can't happen.
Julian's pov
I loved being in a band, but sometimes it just got to be too much. All these twiggy bimbo's throwing themselves at you. Trying to use you for all they could get. We needed a dancer for our new video, and I was dreading it. It's always the same type of girl just hanging all over us and that got old fast.
A buddy of mine showed me this video of this new amazing dancer he found. I really didn't care, but he said I had to see it. When I watched it, I was shocked to see a gorgeous curvy girl. I knew immediately that I wanted her, and not just for the video.
I made a call and set up a meeting with her. She was the one I wanted I didn't care what the other guys had to say about it. I was so happy when I got a call back saying she would be here today for a meeting. I know it was short notice, but I wanted to get her booked right away.
I didn't even think of the possibility that she could say no. I was sitting in a room at my record label waiting for her to show up. I nearly fell out of my chair when she walked in. She looked even better in person.
"Um hi I was told to come here."
"Hello, you must be Eden I'm Julian the lead singer of Midnight Passion please have a seat."
"Hi yes I'm Eden how can I help you?"
"Well, I saw one of your dance videos online, and you are amazing."
She looked at me and I could tell she was blushing.
"Thank you so what exactly do you need from me?"
"Well, I want to hire you of course."
She looked at me, and I couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"Okay if I took the job who would I be teaching to dance?"
Why would I hire her to teach someone else to dance?
"No baby girl you have it all wrong. I want you to dance in my video."
I only wanted her. Can't she see that?
"You want me?"
"Hell, yes I want you."
I didn't mean to say it like that. I knew she could tell I meant more than just for the video.
"I need some time to figure my schedule out to see if I can even do it."
"Take all the time you need. Just know I will make it worth your while."
She smiled then got up and walked out of the room. Man, I didn't want her to take time to think about it. I was going to go crazy until she said yes.
Chapter 1
Eden's pov
I can't believe Julian wanted me to be in his video. This would be amazing for my career. I just don't know about him. I mean why would his band choose me. This man was a walking Greek God, and I was a curvy no body.
I looked up his band, and they never used a woman above a size 0 before. So why change that now? I was not going to be some joke. I decided I wasn't going to take this job. I mean yes, I needed the money, but I was no one's joke to laugh out.
I was proud of my curves. Who the hell did he think he is? I was angry the more I thought about it. I was ready to call him and tell him where he could shove the job. Thankfully, someone knocked on my door, so I didn't call him. I answered the door and stood there in shock when I saw Julian.
"What are you doing here? How did you know where I live?" I asked.
"I um googled you."
"What the hell? Who does that? What do you want?"
"I know I'm sorry I just showed up, but I really want you for this video."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
He was really annoying me. Why does he have to be so sexy? And that damn smirk he keeps giving me was killing me. He was just looking at me and already my panties were soaked. This man was going to be the death of me. I needed him to leave and never look back.
"Why do you want me in your video?"
"Well, the main reason is you're talented."
I smiled at that because I could tell he meant it. I loved that I was being noticed for my talent. Maybe I could do this job. I mean that's all he wanted me for is just to do a simple job. I needed to treat him like I would any other client.
"What's the other reason?"
He came closer to me, and I could feel my heart beating faster. What was he doing? This was getting way to heated and I needed to get him out of my home before something happens that would change everything.
"The other reason is you're sexy."
I felt my knees go weak. No man has ever called me sexy before and one of the sexiest men I have ever seen just said I was sexy. I felt like I was now a puddle on the floor. I wanted this man and I wanted him now. I knew once I looked into his eyes I was in trouble.
"Julian why are you here?"
"Because I can't stop thinking about you. Please say yes."
I wondered what exactly he wanted me to say yes too. Was he still talking about me working for him or was there more to it? I was scared to say yes but I so desperately wanted to.
"Before I say yes, I want to meet the rest of the band. I take my career seriously, and I want to make sure this job is on the up and up."
"Okay come by the office tomorrow at 1:00 and you can meet them."
"Ok I'll be there."
He left, and I could finally breathe. I couldn't take this job. Hell, it was so much more than a job. I could get hurt falling for a man like Julian.
Chapter 2
Julian's pov
I couldn't stop thinking about Eden. I had to see her. I know the guys aren't going to want her in the video, but I didn't care. I wanted her in the video, and this was my band. Hell, I wanted her in my life.
Ever since I met her, I haven't been able to forget her. So, I found out where she lived and went there. I had no idea what I was going to do when I got there. When she opened the door, she took my breath away.
"What are you doing here? How did you know where I live?" I asked.
"I um googled you."
I can't believe I admitted to doing that. I sounded stalkerish. I didn't want her to fear me, and I was blowing this. Every time she was near it was like I got nervous and got all tonged tied that's never happened to me before.
"What the hell? Who does that? What do you want?"
She seemed mad. Maybe this was a mistake. This was an epic failure and I needed to say something to fix this and fast I just didn't know what to say. I wanted her in the video so I could spend some time with her.
"I know I'm sorry I just showed up, but I really want you for this video."
"Why?"
What did she mean why? Did she not realize how talented she was? I mean she is one of the best choreographer's I have ever seen. She will bring my song to life, and I know people will love it. She was made to dance to my music I felt.
"Why what?"
"Why do you want me in your video?"
"Well, the main reason is you're talented."
I loved seeing her smile. I wish I could see her smile for the rest of my life. Whoa where did that come from. I barely knew this beautiful woman and already she has gotten under my skin.
"What's the other reason?"
Of course, she would ask me that. I figured honesty would go a long way so I told her exactly what was on my mind. I just hoped I didn't make her mad again.
"The other reason is you're sexy."
I figured I might as well go with the truth.
"Julian why are you here?"
"Because I can't stop thinking about you. Please say yes."
I wanted her to say yes to being with me, but for now I would settle for the video. Maybe once she got to know me better, she would want me. I had nothing but time This woman was worth the wait.
"Before I say yes, I want to meet the rest of the band. I take my career seriously, and I want to make sure this job is on the up and up."
This could be a problem. I needed to talk to the guys, so they know I wanted this. If they weren't on board then they could leave. I didn't care.
"Okay come by the office tomorrow at 1:00 and you can meet them."
I just hoped this all went okay.
"Ok I'll be there."
I walked out and went to go and find my band. I knew a few would back me because they were good guys. I was more worried about the other two that were judgmental pricks. If they scared her off, then I would fire them. I was sick of them anyway. They only cared about partying, and it was starting to affect the music.
Maybe I was just getting old. I have been at this a long time. I was ready to settle down with a good woman. I found myself wondering if Eden could be that woman for me. I pulled up to the bar and sure enough my fellow bandmates were there. This was going to be a long night.
