As a successful tattoo artist, she can take care of what\u2019s hers. The only thing she needs is a little fun every now and again. And if a gorgeous man offers her exactly what she needs, if they both know what they\u2019re getting into, it can\u2019t get messy, can it?<\/p>\n Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cOh.\u201d She looked away from the heat of his gaze, uncertain. Unable to keep her eyes away from him for long, she slanted a look over to his face to see whether he was serious. He was; he met her eyes, unabashed.<\/p>\n \u201cI was thinking about getting a tattoo,\u201d he continued, still rubbing at his lip. \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll stop by tomorrow and see you.\u201d<\/p>\n Several powerful emotions whirled through her; exhilaration, embarrassment, amusement, eagerness, but most of all a fear so deep that it tightened around her heart like a vice. She pushed them all away and forced herself to smile brightly, pretending he was any other client and not her handsome neighbour. \u201cYes, I\u2019m at the studio all week. Feel free to call in. If I\u2019m busy, one of the other artists can help you find what you\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know what I want, don\u2019t worry about that.\u201d His eyes wandered over her body, making it clear what it meant, then he dipped his head once more and walked away.<\/p>\n Despite the emotional turmoil burning through her, making her want to escape into her apartment, Joe couldn\u2019t help but watch him leave. His powerful frame moved so gracefully, with so much self-assurance, that she felt drawn to him in a way that she hadn\u2019t felt to another person in a long time.<\/p>\n Not since Christoph left.<\/p>\n The thought made her blood run cold.<\/p>\n Is that where the attraction came from? He reminded her of Christoph? It was true that they both had the same muscled build, the same irrepressible confidence. Was that why she was reacting so strongly to him? The knowledge made her uneasy. Christoph had walked out on her years ago, hurting her more deeply than she thought ever possible. She wasn\u2019t going to be hurt again. Never again.<\/p>\n No, what she needed from a man was purely physical.<\/p>\n And she could get that from the club.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” column_structure=”2_3,1_3″][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code admin_label=”Mailing List Sign Up” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ global_module=”134″ saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n Whether it’s a new release, a call for submissions, cover reveal or super sale you will always be among the first to know if you sign up for our mailing list.
