Excerpt
Krista jogged to catch up with her friend. At the entrance,
a big man stood there in the classic get-up. Sunglasses, a black shirt, and
tight jeans. He was hot and Krista wondered if she could stay out there with
him because he looked more like her type.
“Good evening, ladies. I need to see some ID.” He held out
his hand.
She dug hers out of her wallet and handed it to him. He
glanced at the I.D.’s, smiled, and gave them back.
“Enjoy your evening.”
Jamie looped her arm through Krista’s and they were on their
way to what felt like the unknown to Krista.
Inside was dark as expected, but there was just enough
lighting so she wouldn’t trip over anything. There were a lot of women there.
Apparently her friend wasn’t the only one with a thing for older men.
There was a small dance floor to her left, but it was mostly
set up with various lounge areas. A contemporary feel flowed throughout with
black leather sofas, red-and-white throw pillows, and chrome décor. The bar sat
in the center of the room, and Krista was thrilled when Jamie led her in that direction.
A female bartender, who was surprisingly dressed
conservative in a white button down blouse, greeted them. “What can I get you?”
“Two sex on the beaches,” Jamie said.
“Suck up.” Krista leaned her back against the bar and
glanced around. She didn’t see a man anywhere without a young, beautiful woman
at his side. Next to the attached women, she felt like she was wearing a paper
sack. Not a man looked in her direction. “I bet all the good ones are
taken.”
Jamie twirled a lock of her blonde hair as she checked out
the men. “Why do you say that?”
“With the amount of women in here, any man without one at
this point must be a loser.”
“Or he’s just waiting on the right woman.” Jamie winked.
The bartender returned with their drinks. Jamie told her to
leave the tab open.
“Now what?” Krista asked as she picked up her beverage.
“Let’s find somewhere to sit, drink a little to lighten our
mood, and go from there. This doesn’t need to be planned out.”
“This is so stupid.” Krista took a sip of her drink. “It
feels like we’re waiting for some man to find us attractive and want to talk to
us. It’s just weird.”
Her friend sighed. “Live a little. Jeez. How well has it
been working out with the men your own age?”
Jamie had a point. “But still,” Krista protested halfheartedly.
“If you want to leave, I’ll give you my keys. I’m not going
to force you to stay.”
“I might.” A deep masculine voice sounded from behind them.
A shiver swept down Krista’s spine. Her heart rate sped up
and it felt like slow motion as she spun around to see who had spoken to
her. Oh. My. God! She laid eyes on one of the most gorgeous
men she’d ever seen. He put George Clooney to shame.
“Would you gorgeous ladies care to join me?” He motioned
toward an empty couch.
“We’d love to.” Jamie smiled.
Krista attempted to speak, but no words were forming as she
followed them over. She expected Jamie to sit next to the sexy man and keep him
for herself, but instead, her friend left a gap for Krista to sit in the
middle.
“I’m Neil.” He took a sip from his drink. The light gold
liquid flowed to his lips and Krista found herself jealous of the glass.
“I’m Jamie, and this is my friend Krista Michaels.”
Why the heck did Jamie just given him my last name?
Neil rested his glass on the armrest. He was at ease and in
his comfort zone as he straightened his light blue tie. “It’s nice to meet you
both. First time here?”
“Yes. Though it’s a relatively new place. Have you been here
much?” Jamie asked.
“A few times. I’m friends with the owner.” His gaze stayed
on Krista.
She stared back, mesmerized by him. He had dark hair with
slight streaks of grey at the temple. Not too much, just was the right amount.
Perfect. Like him. Now if only she could speak, she might get somewhere.
“What do you do for a living?” He spun the glass around with
his fingers.
“We’re both teachers,” Jamie answered.
His eyes widened. “This must be your favorite time of the
year. Summer vacation.”
“It is.” Jamie poked Krista in the side.
Krista nodded since for whatever reason, her mouth still
wasn’t working.
“Are you always so quiet?” Neil smirked. A tiny dimple
formed on his chin. She loved a man with dimples.
“Usually she won’t shut up.” Jamie giggled. “What’s up,
Krista?”
“I love your name by the way.” His blue eyes locked on her.
“Thank you.” She finally managed a word.
He took a long drink then set the cup down on the table. He
sat back, pulling one leg up and resting his ankle on the opposite knee. “I’m
going to be frank. When I see something I like, I go after it. And I like what
I see, Krista. Are you single?”
His bluntness caused a wave of pleasure to ripple though
her. “I am.”
“I’m attracted to you very much, but I don’t want to waste
my time if you don’t feel the same.” He paused, staring at her with a longing
in his eyes. Finally, he moistened his lips. “That isn’t entirely true.
If you weren’t interested in me, I’d try harder. I don’t like not getting what
I want, and I want you.”
