5500 words. Join Charli in her first adventure.
She's ready to leave Temptation behind...Welcome back to the Ugly Stick Saloon with this short story about Charli's first erotic adventure.
Charli Sutton is tired of the same-ol-same-ol in Temptation, Texas and her job at the Ugly Stick Saloon. Her itchy feet tell her that if it ain't happenin' here, it's time to go back to Austin and raise a little hell.
Until a mystery man dared her...
Charli has every intention of packing up, until a sexy-voiced stranger calls her daring her to skinny dip in the judge's pool. The idea is crazy, ludicrous, and downright dangerous. Just the kind of dirty trick to get a girl's blood flowing. Add a cowboy in a black hat with a body that could boil the water in the pool and he's got one up on you!
Warning: Mystery Cowboy, lonely woman and one sexy dare leads to explosive sex under a watchful eyes...
Excerpt
Charli couldn't take her gaze off
the man. Not until he disappeared through the entrance of the saloon did she
realize her heartbeat had kicked up a notch. Not only that but she hadn't
sighed in the past ten minutes, nor did she feel like it.
Connor Mason had her blood
pumping like no other man had in the past two years since she'd been working
the Ugly Stick.
With a lift in her step, she
finished her shift, helped shut down the bar, slid into her black Mustang and
pulled out of the parking lot. She lifted the hair from the back of her neck
and let it fly in the wind from the open window. Before she'd gone more than
thirty yards down the road, her cell phone rang on the seat beside her.
Now who the hell was calling her
at three o’clock in the morning?
She glanced at the caller ID.
Blocked Sender.
She debated not answering, but
after the fourth ring, she hit the talk button. "This is Charli."
"Ever skinny dipped in
someone else's pool?"
Deep and masculine, the voice in
the receiver was the kind that made coffee commercials sound sexy. It reached
out to caress Charli's ear and other more easily aroused places of her body. A
shiver of awareness snaked across her skin. "Who is this?"
"Let's just say I overheard
your conversation at the bar."
Her breath catching in her
throat, Charli clutched the phone tighter.
"You can spice things up if
you dare," he said, his voice a sensuous whisper.
Charli tried hard to think who
had been sitting at the bar that evening, only conjuring one image. That of the
sexy soldier who'd blatantly eavesdropped on her conversation with Audrey.
"Connor?"
"I'm not tellin'."
A surge of anger spiked her
adrenaline. "Look, I don't need a pervert daring me to skinny dip in
someone else's pool. Do me a favor and don't call this number again."
"With a body as beautiful as
yours, I'm surprised you're afraid."
Charli's thumb hovered over the
off button, but the deep timbre of his voice had her mesmerized, her body
heating at the rich tone. "I'm not afraid. I'm just not stupid."
She'd hoped to come off indignant, but the best she could do was breathless.
"Suit yourself and play it
safe...or take the dare. Judge Stephen’s pool, three fifteen—be there. I'll be
watching."
