Slowly, I undo the buttons of my light blue shirt until I can drop it down my shoulders, and then tug my white tee over my head. Her eyes get lost somewhere between my firm chest and my ripped stomach. I can’t help but grin as I notice the way she looks at me, the same way I’ve been looking at her since I first saw her again.

“Now what?”

“How do you feel about a nipple piercing?” she says with a wicked smile that tells me she’s just joking. That she expects me to chicken out any second now.

How do I feel? Like I’d sooner have my balls in a vice than let anyone, even her, stick a needle in my nipple.

Obviously reading my expression, she shakes her head and waves her hand. “Got it. Never mind. It does hurt like hell, something I know first-hand.”

I swallow hard as my gaze drops to her chest. I see no sign that her nipples are pierced, but then again she’s wearing a bra. God, I need to see them. Touch and taste them. But first, I have to respond to the challenge she’s thrown down.

“Let’s do it.”

Her eyebrows pop up in surprise. “Hunter, you don’t have to—”

“Baby, you want to talk or you want to hurt me? I know you’re just chomping at the bit to do it.”

“I don’t want to hurt you,” she mutters almost so softly I don’t hear her.

“What was that?”

She stares at me, then presses her lips together. “Fine. You want to play chicken? Sit down.”

Damn, there’s something about the way she seems to think she’s in control that turns me on.

I purse my lips, asking myself if I’m really going to go through with this, but when she cocks a brow at me, I sit.

“Good boy,” she purrs after I slip down into the chair, the leather cool against my back.

She digs in the top drawer of the toolbox and produces a pre-packaged set of needles and then turns to me. I just about swallow my entire throat into my stomach, but try to remain brave on the outside. The last thing I can have is her thinking I’m weak.

She purses her lips as she slides her hands into a pair of latex gloves. The smacking of the latex against her flesh makes my cock skip.

“Are you sure about this, Hunter? Because like I said, you don’t have to—”

“I want to do it.” Inside, I’m panicking a little, but how bad can it be? “Hell, pierce them both.”

“How about we just stick to one for now?” She turns to me and pushes a silver cart beside me. She places the packaged kit onto the tray, and then soaks a paper towel with alcohol.

“This is going to be cold.” Gently, she swipes my left nipple clean with the alcohol and then throws the towel into the trash.

While she’s turned away, I exhale a series of short breaths trying to prepare myself for what’s to come. I haven’t had a needle near me since the last time I received shots in college, but I can’t tell her that. She’ll pounce right on my fears and take advantage of them.

When she finally turns back to me with the needle in hand, my vision goes blurry. It takes all the manly strength I have in my entire soul to remain conscious.

"Jesus, you look like you've seen a ghost! You sure you want to go through with this?"

“Shit,” I chuckle. “You’re just going to call me out like that?” I shake my head defiantly. “Nah, I’m good.”

There's no way I’m backing down. I can't let her think I'm weak. For some reason, I need to prove to her I’m just as manly as Rob. Hell, maybe, for the first time in my life, I’m feeling the need to prove it to myself. Because this chick is seriously messing with my head in ways no one ever has.

She rolls her eyes again, and uses her elbow to push stray strands of hair from her face. She’s silent, as if she’s a predator or something, as she approaches and when she finally pinches my nipple tight with a latex-covered hand, I have no choice left but to force my eyes closed.

“Okay, take a deep breath.”

I do what she says, even as I feel my toes curling in my shoes, bracing for the pain.

Fucking hell, what have I gotten myself into?
