Blurb:
Lila has been tending bar for five years at Hell's Gate. She
is content with her life. However, when Draig walks into the club her world is
thrown asunder. There is something about the exotic man that haunts her. She
watches him night after night tie up women and can't help but feel jealous.
Draig tries to ignore her, but he can't get her out of his mind. The only thing
he knows to do is push her away.
Until the one night she finally confronts him and gives him a piece of her mind. Draig tries to keep her out, but he realizes Lila is something special. If he keeps her out, then his one chance of freedom will fly away.
Excerpt:
Lila let her eyes
rove over Draig’s gorgeous body. Black leather pants encased well muscled
calves, strong thighs, and a perfectly shaped butt. A yearning to touch his ass
burned through her, but she resisted when the pain pounded on her temples
again. Or maybe it was her good sense hammering away to warn her that one
night stands were not a good thing. She’d had enough of
waking up in someone else’s bed only to have them dismiss her in the morning. Besides,
it was a bad idea to get involved with any of her coworkers. She had found that
out first hand when she had first worked there, dating a bartender who had
tended bar with her, but he turned out to be an ass. He slept with her then
told the staff what a horrible lay she was. She swore she’d never make that
mistake again. Leah had fired him that next night when his comments reached her
ears.
Draig’s back muscles
rippled when he stood and dragged a hand across his forehead to wipe the beads
of sweat from his brow. Etched over his spine was a full blown dragon, wings
outstretched. When he moved it, appeared the wings were flapping. It was inked
in blue and silver hue. The work was so detailed she could make out the minute
scales along its feet right before they turned into dangerous claws. Whoever
had done the skin masterpiece was truly an artist. She wondered where else he
might have some tattoos.
Draig turned. Her
cheeks burned from being caught staring. She quickly averted her eyes and
pressed the cloth to her head. The coldness eased some of the pain. But she
figured she would have one hell of a lump in the morning. Getting whacked on
the head twice in a one night wasn’t typical. Lila barely ever dropped a bottle
of beer. Tonight two of them had slipped from her grasp. Leah wouldn’t dock her
for the inventory, but she wouldn’t be happy if she knew.
“All put up. Is
there anything else you need stocked?” he asked her.
“No. Thanks for
the help. Just gotta go home.” She slid off the stool.
Once her feet hit
the floor, she stumbled again. The world spun a little. She put her hands out
to catch herself, but instead found herself against his chest. His arms wrapped
around her and clasped her back. Her breasts barely touched his chest. Her head
came just under his chin. She inhaled and smelled his pure masculine scent
mixed with a fruity aroma that must have been the soap he used. Lila laid a
hand on his flesh to steady herself. Her entire being flushed with heat from
the close contact. An overwhelming urge to fan herself hit her, but she didn’t
want to tear her hand away from his solid form. It seemed she was glued to this
perfect stranger. Whatever magnetism drew her to him it was the strongest she
had ever felt with a man.
Draig peered into
her eyes. Flames ignited in his green ones. A gasp formed on her lips, watching
his eyes glow. Before Lila could utter a sound, he claimed her mouth, his full
lips covered hers. Her head said she should shove him away. They shouldn’t be
kissing because it would only bring trouble. But before she could grasp onto
that, the world fell away. She was floating and nothing could bring her feet to
solid ground again. Her body temperature spiked. Just the pleasure his lips
brought to her was unlike anything she had experienced before. He cupped her
face lightly, barely even holding her. Lila craved for him do more, to lift her
onto the bar, hike her skirt up, and plunge his cock inside of her.
The bliss he
elicited speared directly between her thighs. She squeezed her legs together
just to remind herself that she was still alive and hadn’t ascended to heaven. Draig
slowly sucked on her bottom lip before releasing it. He then brushed his tongue
across her lips. Lila let out a small moan. He made no move to bring her closer.
The heat of his body blasted against her. She drew in a few breaths to anchor
herself back in her body. Frozen to her spot, the shock of the kiss hadn’t worn
off yet. Lila leaned up on tiptoe to return the kiss with the hunger growing
inside of her. Before she could, he pulled away.
