Excerpt:Lila let her eyesrove over Draig's gorgeous body. Black leather pants encased well muscledcalves, strong thighs, and a perfectly shaped butt. A yearning to touch his assburned through her, but she resisted when the pain pounded on her templesagain. Or maybe it was her good sense hammering away to warn her that onenight stands were not a good thing. She'd had enough ofwaking 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 thatout first hand when she had first worked there, dating a bartender who hadtended bar with her, but he turned out to be an ass. He slept with her thentold the staff what a horrible lay she was. She swore she'd never make thatmistake again. Leah had fired him that next night when his comments reached herears.Draig's back musclesrippled when he stood and dragged a hand across his forehead to wipe the beadsof sweat from his brow. Etched over his spine was a full blown dragon, wingsoutstretched. When he moved it, appeared the wings were flapping. It was inkedin blue and silver hue. The work was so detailed she could make out the minutescales along its feet right before they turned into dangerous claws. Whoeverhad done the skin masterpiece was truly an artist. She wondered where else hemight have some tattoos.Draig turned. Hercheeks burned from being caught staring. She quickly averted her eyes andpressed the cloth to her head. The coldness eased some of the pain. But shefigured she would have one hell of a lump in the morning. Getting whacked onthe head twice in a one night wasn't typical. Lila barely ever dropped a bottleof beer. Tonight two of them had slipped from her grasp. Leah wouldn't dock herfor the inventory, but she wouldn't be happy if she knew."All put up. Isthere anything else you need stocked?" he asked her."No. Thanks forthe help. Just gotta go home." She slid off the stool. Once her feet hitthe floor, she stumbled again. The world spun a little. She put her hands outto catch herself, but instead found herself against his chest. His arms wrappedaround her and clasped her back. Her breasts barely touched his chest. Her headcame just under his chin. She inhaled and smelled his pure masculine scentmixed with a fruity aroma that must have been the soap he used. Lila laid ahand on his flesh to steady herself. Her entire being flushed with heat fromthe close contact. An overwhelming urge to fan herself hit her, but she didn'twant to tear her hand away from his solid form. It seemed she was glued to thisperfect stranger. Whatever magnetism drew her to him it was the strongest shehad ever felt with a man.Draig peered intoher eyes. Flames ignited in his green ones. A gasp formed on her lips, watchinghis eyes glow. Before Lila could utter a sound, he claimed her mouth, his fulllips covered hers. Her head said she should shove him away. They shouldn't bekissing because it would only bring trouble. But before she could grasp ontothat, the world fell away. She was floating and nothing could bring her feet tosolid ground again. Her body temperature spiked. Just the pleasure his lipsbrought to her was unlike anything she had experienced before. He cupped herface lightly, barely even holding her. Lila craved for him do more, to lift heronto the bar, hike her skirt up, and plunge his cock inside of her. The bliss heelicited speared directly between her thighs. She squeezed her legs togetherjust to remind herself that she was still alive and hadn't ascended to heaven. Draigslowly sucked on her bottom lip before releasing it. He then brushed his tongueacross 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 anchorherself back in her body. Frozen to her spot, the shock of the kiss hadn't wornoff yet. Lila leaned up on tiptoe to return the kiss with the hunger growinginside of her. Before she could, he pulled away.
