Violet leans back and angles her head to the side, admiring me for a moment. “There’s something mysterious about you, like you’re hiding something, but not in a bad way.” Her bright red hair trails her cleavage, dipping between her breasts and causing my eyes to wander.
"Mysterious, huh?"
Violet leans forward. "What would it take to unravel that mystery?"
"Maybe another drink," I suggest, pouring us another one for each of us, even though I hadn’t planned to have one drink, let alone two. "And some more of this conversation."
"Deal, but you better make it worth my while."
"Oh, I plan to," I say, clinking my glass with hers. We both take another long sip, eyes locked on each other.
A customer calls me from across the bar, and I take a step back from Violet, reluctant to leave our conversation. But no matter how intriguing it is, I have to run the bar.
"Don’t go anywhere. This conversation is just getting interesting."
"I’m not going anywhere," she promises, her eyes burning with something I want to explore.
I help a few customers, my mind racing with thoughts of Violet. The way she challenges me, flirts with me, makes me want to know more, to explore this chemistry between us. When I finally return to her, she’s still there, waiting for me with that confident smile. I know then that I just have to wait until we close, then I’m going to take her to one of the back booths and explore her every inch of her.
I glance at the clock and see that I still have an hour before I can shove my lingering customers out the door.
"Miss me?" I ask, leaning on the bar in front of Violet.
"Just a little. Did you miss me?"
"More than a little.”
That’s when I extend my invitation. Maybe her sexiness has thrown off my radar and I’ve completely misread the situation, but there’s no going back after I ask her.
“We close in an hour. Do you want to hang around after?”
“Why?” Her smile is coy, and my stomach turns over as I realize what she’s doing. She wants me to spell it out. She doesn’t want any more beating around the bush.
I lean forward so that her fruity perfume wraps itself around me. “Because I want you, but I don’t think we need witnesses to what’s going to happen between us.”
I can feel my dick pressing against my side of the bar, and I want to press it against Violet. I want to make her gasp and groan and grip me and call my name all at once.
Violet’s hand creeps across the top of the bar. “In that case, yes.”
CHAPTER 2
VIOLET
Iwatch Jay from across the bar as he starts settling tabs with customers. I’ve already noticed his two servers cleaning up their areas and giving cheerful goodbyes as they step out into the nippy autumn night.
The way he moves is eye-catching, and I can’t seem to keep myself together. I hope I’m coming across as put-together, because the truth is that I just want to get laid.
I knew that when I looked up nearby bars from my mother’s house. I knew that when I walked through the door with my shoulders thrown back and a coy smile on my face. I just didn’t know who my target would be until I saw Jay and a torrent of memories swept through me.
I remembered going home with Hannah every day after school to do homework. But really, the reason I agreed to do homework with her when she was more distracting than anything else was because I knew that I would see Jay.
There would be that minute when he would walk in the door, all dirty from work. He and Hannah would start arguing, and he would smile at me and roll his eyes, like ‘can you believe this girl?’
But now, we are both older. We are both old enough to know what we want, and I think it’s pretty clear that tonight, we both want the same thing.
Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Jay approaching me, but I continue to watch the last few lingering customers.
Jay lays a hand on my arm, and I’m surprised by how warm it is. I turn and smile at him, breathing in the scent that surrounds him, a strange mix of citrus and bourbon. His job has literally rubbed off on him, but I find it sexy.
