supposed to put together a coherent thought when such a hunk of a man was looking at her? It’s like asking a fly to milk a cow – impossible.
    His face relaxed, a hint of a smile playing about his lips. “Have you been helped?”
    Again, she nodded.  
    Dammit, Addison. You could’ve answered that. You know that answer.
    Did she? She was no longer sure.
    “I don’t think I’ve seen you around before.” He leaned one hand on the bar and she spotted the wide leather cuff around his right wrist. “Is this your first time to Gator Bait?”
    “Yes,” she said, refusing to nod mutely again.
    “A tourist?”
    That caused Addison to laugh. “No. I’m usually working or studying. I don’t get out much.”
    “Then I’m glad you aren’t doing either tonight.”
    She could feel the blush creeping up her neck to her cheeks. “Me, too.”
    “I’m Myles LaRue,” he said and stuck out his hand.
    Her hand fit into his, warmth seeping from his palm to hers as something sensual and needy spiraled through her at their touch. “Addison Moore.”
    They stayed like that for a moment, their hands together, their eyes locked. Addison couldn’t begin to explain the strangeness of the situation, or how she prayed it would continue.
    Someone cleared his throat, and she saw another man come stand beside Myles. Addison tried to pull her hand away, but Myles tightened his grip a fraction, halting her. He winked, making her smile as he released her hand.
    “Court seems to have brought your food,” Myles said as he took the bowl from Court and placed it in front of her.
    “Since you’re out here, brother, you can fix her drink. She wanted the Devil’s Bribe,” Court said as he slapped Myles on the back and turned to leave.
    Addison couldn’t stop the laughter that bubbled up as Myles popped Court on the leg with the towel as he walked off.

CHAPTER THREE

    Myles was utterly charmed by the mysterious, exquisite Addison with her champagne colored chin-length, wavy hair. In the dimness of the bar, he wasn’t sure of the exact shade of her eyes, but they were striking in how they held his gaze. There was a hint of coyness along with sincerity that made his balls tighten.
    The simple fact that desire burned through his veins should have been enough to send him running as fast and far from her as he could get. Yet he remained, hoping to hear more of her husky voice.
    Her skin was dew-kissed, a healthy glow that made him itch to run his hands all over her body. Her sleeveless peach tank dipped low, giving him a tantalizing view of the swells of her breasts.
    His hands fisted on the bar. It took a herculean effort to realize that Court was back and talking to him. He shot his brother a look, irritated to have his attention diverted from Addison. Myles returned his gaze to her as she put a bite of the red beans and rice in her mouth.
    Her large eyes watched him, but he couldn’t make himself stop staring. She had the face of an angel, sweet and sensual. Her mouth was a temptation in itself, with her pouty lips that could have him on his knees in a matter of seconds if she knew her power.
    An image flashed in his head of Addison in his arms, her head thrown back as she moaned in pleasure. His cock went instantly, achingly hard.
    He was royally fucked.
    “Y’all wouldn’t by chance be hiring?” Addison asked.
    Myles blinked. It took him a few moments for her words to penetrate his fog of desire. He glanced at the women walking around in short denim shorts and tight, black shirts with the Gator Bait logo.  
    He really couldn’t think now. He’d be a puddle of need if he had to see Addison wearing those outfits every day.
    “Yes,” Court leaned over and said. “We are, actually. I’ve got an application in the back. When you get finished eating, Myles can take you to his office.”
    Myles definitely wanted to take her, but it wasn’t to his office. He cleared his throat and pushed away from the bar. He had to put some distance
