clutches?"
He was undeterred by her smug replies and leaned in so close she could smell the scotch on his breath. God, he's so sexy .
"I have another one.” He was still, and very close to her, and Ava was mesmerized by his stillness, the intensity of his eyes, the heat of his body.
She tilted her head. “Let's hear it."
"Let me take you away from all this."
"Are you my Prince Charming, coming to rescue me on your white horse?"
His lips curved, his voice lowered to a sexy growl. “You don't need a horse to ride, princess."
He nuzzled her and his breath warmed her neck and she exhaled sharply. The game had become a test of wills and she leaned away from him. “I don't know you,” she murmured, hoping he didn't notice the nervousness in her voice.
"Yes, you do. It's been,” he made a point of looking at his watch, “nearly ten minutes since you bought me a drink."
One large, lazy hand traveled its way up until it stopped just short of the Promised Land.
Don't stop . “What do you want from me?"
If he moved even an inch she'd come.
” I'm seducing you. How am I doing?"
She nodded, her breath catching in her throat. “Actually, very well."
His whisper lifted a lone strand of hair from her face. “I've come to one conclusion."
She held her breath. “And that is—?"
"I want to push you up against a wall, lift your dress, and bury my fingers in your hot, wet pussy. I want to go down on you until you come. I want you to go down on me and make me scream.” He licked her ear, and chuckled when she shivered. “And I want to push my cock so far into your pussy, you'll bite your lips so no one will hear you cry out my name. Are you game, Ava? Are you willing to take a chance?
She swallowed and looked at him. Say no, and go home. Even though you've had a miserable day, don't take a chance on a stranger.
"Yes."
He leaned in just enough for his breath to touch her mouth, and he kissed her again, his tongue teasing hers, making her tremble with want.
"So, where can we be alone?.
"I have an apartment upstairs."
"No."
Ava wanted to cry. Shane finally noticed her extra pounds and regretted his planned seduction. Her heart sank to her stilettos, until she felt him take her by the hand.
"I can't wait that long."
Ava had just enough time to look back at Elena, who winked wickedly. “There's that room in the back that's empty.” The pretty barmaid pointed the way.
Ava opened her mouth, yet no words came forth. No, they couldn't go in there. That room was for. . . .
Before she completed her thought, she found herself being led to a part of the bar that was under renovation. A.J. was turning an old storage space into a game room. The area was empty except for the brand new pool table in the center of the room, sitting under a rectangular tiffany lamp.

Chapter Three
Shane closed and locked the door behind them. He lifted her effortlessly and placed her on the green felt surface of the pool table. The dimness in the room was illuminated by a lone street light that shone in through the uncovered windows. Shane wrapped his arms around her, followed her down and dove in for a kiss he'd waited for these past two years.
She kissed him back with lush lips, soft and warm. His cock thickened by the second. By the time he tasted lemon and scotch on that inviting mouth, he had to hold himself back from ripping that sexy dress from her. Her scent, a combination of roses and warm woman, twirled around his cock and squeezed. His tongue dove into her mouth and she responded in kind. Eager hands found their way to her generous ass, and his palms pushed her into his raging hard on.
"You feel like sin and kiss like heaven, you know that?"
Her small hands palmed his face. “I do now,” she managed and Shane silenced her with another kiss that seared him to the bone.
Trained hands found her ample breasts, and he teased and palmed them through her sexy lace dress. His cock ached as it rubbed
