  “I don’t condone violence.” The words fell from my lips in a flat tone, even as my body still vibrated from his touch.

  Traitor.

  My body betrayed me when Michael touched me. I tried to play it cool.

  “Not buying it.” He lifted the beer to his lips and took a sip.

  I stared at them as they hugged the rim of the glass.

  I wanted to smack the cocky grin off his face. His rich brown eyes sparkled, and were filled with mischief as he called me a liar. His words were true no matter how hard I wanted to deny them. Michael was pure man—strong, sexy, and self-confident.

  “Can we agree to disagree?” I asked, pretending not to look at his mouth.

  He licked the beer from his lips. I had the overwhelming urge to use my tongue to capture the few drops of liquid still left behind. “Want a taste?” he asked with a hearty laugh as he tipped the beer in my direction.

  I could feel the blush as it crept up my neck. I wanted to avoid his eyes but couldn’t give him the satisfaction. I always believed in fighting fire with fire.

  “You missed a little,” I said before I reached up and used my thumb to wipe the few drops on his lips.

  His eyes stayed locked with mine as I touched his soft flesh, slowing dragging my fingers across his skin.

  I placed my thumb in my mouth, closing my lips around it.

  He leaned in close enough for me to smell the musky cologne on his neck. “You’re wicked,” he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear.

  Pulling my thumb from my lips, I replied, “I’m just getting started, hot stuff.”

  He backed away and stared at me before giving me a giant smile. “I may have met my match with you, Mia.”

  “I’ll drink to that.” I couldn’t help but smile. I forgot how much fun it could be to flirt with someone, especially when they were handsome and a smooth talker.

  He made it easy and made me feel sexy.

  At work, I never felt sexy wearing my drab scrubs and knee-length lab coat, and with my hair up in a ponytail. I looked half dead by the time my shift ended at the hospital.

  “Shot?” he asked.

  “I’ve given thousands,” I replied, laughing at my hospital humor.

  “You’re difficult, Mia.” He eyed me as he fiddled with the beer.

  “You have no idea, Michael.” I laughed, wanting to throw myself at him and give in to any wild sexual ideas he currently had, but I wouldn’t allow myself to be so reckless. “What do you have in mind?”

  He looked me straight in the eye and didn’t crack a smile. “Blue balls.”

  “Seems like a personal problem. I could write you a prescription, if you’d like.”

  “Um, fuck no to a prescription, but I’m sure it’s nothing you couldn’t fix.” He smirked. “Wanna help me out?”

  I leaned forward, my lips almost touching his as I said, “Usually when someone walks in with an erection that won’t subside, we drain the fluid with a very large needle. I’m a pro. Interested in seeing my skills firsthand?”

  His mouth hung open as he gaped. “That’s just inhumane. I mean, Jesus, Mia, how could you do that to another human being?” He stepped back, shaking his head.

  “Better than it having to be amputated from lack of circulation. So, what did you want to drink, again?” I smiled until my cheek muscles ached. I couldn’t remember the last time I had smiled or laughed as much as I had with him tonight.

  “Lemon drop. Let’s skip the blue balls,” he said, swallowing hard, probably still reeling from the thought of the long needle in his dick.

  “Good choice, and they’re my favorite.”

  “I gotcha.” He looked away and motioned to the bartender.

  I studied him as he ordered our drinks. Without talking to him, I’d think he was just another meathead muscle guy without the ability to think quickly and hold a witty conversation, but I would’ve been dead wrong.

  Michael was a conundrum to me—brains, brawn, and beauty. His eyes moved in my direction for a moment, but his attention was drawn away from me by the clinking of the glasses on the bar.

  Grinning, he slid the clear liquid in front of me. “What shall we drink to?” he asked as he placed the sugar-soaked lemons in between us.

  “To blue balls?” I asked, holding up the shot glass.

  “Fuck that shit. Don’t ever mention that to me again,” he said, picking up his glass. “To new beginnings.” He raised his glass and tapped it against mine.

  Warmth cascaded throughout my body before the liquid ever touched my lips. I didn’t want to read into his words and feel like a fool, but the thought of getting to know this sexy-as-hell man made my toes curl. “Cheers.”

  I watched him over the rim; he stared at me, never wavering, and I winked as the liquid slid down my throat. It burned for a moment, and I winced from the vodka before I slammed the glass down. I reached for the lemon, needing something to cover the taste of the vodka. He was one step ahead of me, and already had the lemon in his hand.

  I blinked slowly. The martini and shot coursing through my system was already starting to cloud my vision. Opening my lips, I stuck out my tongue and waited for him to place the lemon on it.

  I closed my lips around his fingers as the sugar made my mouth water. Running my tongue across the coarse pads of his fingers, I sucked the juice and swallowed. His eyes narrowed as he watched my mouth with parted lips.

  I had him right where I wanted him. Two could play games.

  “Fuck me,” he muttered, and looked away as I opened my lips, allowing his fingers to slide out.

  Acknowledgments

  Where do I begin? So many amazing people helped me bring City and Suzy to life. I couldn’t have done it without their support and encouragement. The names are listed in no particular order. Every single one of you is important to me and is a vital part in my journey as an author.

  Tee Tate, my editor, I’ll never forget the day I smacked your ass. Thank you for taking the time to explain things and giving me amazing tools to make my writing better. Your kindness and patience help keeping me writing and striving to add just a little bit more. I still think you can never use the word “cock” too many times in a book, but thank you for pointing out that I used it 152 times. You’re priceless.

  Brenda Wright, my friend, you rock my world. You’re always willing to drop everything and create the files to share my book with the world. You’ve been with me since the beginning of my writing life. I adore you. Thank you for formatting my books multiple times because I’m neurotic.

  Melissa Gill, thank you for putting up with my insanity. The cover you created is better than I had imagined. We went through two cover shoots that didn’t pan out and ended up with something different and sexy as hell. I love you hard, lady.

  I can’t thank my street team—Bliss’ Bitches—for all their support in helping to spread the word about my books. You’re always there to help me make a decision and help keep me moving forward. I wish I could list all of your names, but you know I cherish all of you.

  My beta team, I love you to the moon and back. Thank you for all the laughs and giggles during the writing process. I wish we could share our threads with the public, but let’s face it, we’d be reported for our language and content. My betas in no particular order: Tonya M., Krystyn K., Kathy H., Kristina J., Liza from I Dare You To Read, Stephanie B., Kaylee L. of K&S Book Blog, Amanda L.of Crazy Cajun Book Addicts, Deb H., Khai B., Deb F., Tammi D., Darlene D., Ronda B., Kelly A., Jennifer W., Anna B., Vicki M., Brenda W. of Twinsie Talk Book Blog, Mandee M., Trina of Bad & Dirty Books, Kathy C. and Karrie P. of Panty Dropping Book Blog, and Blythe K. of Beautiful Book Blog. It kind of got out of hand and I’m sure I forgot someone.

  To my Aussie love and the amazingly funny author, Carmen Jenner, thank you for beta swapping. I loved your feedback and support during the process. I love your face!

  To Mandee M. for spending time on the phone with me developing the plot. You’re amazing and you always make me laugh. I love you hard.

  A huge thanks goes out to Renita M. for helping me proofread Throttle Me to make it as close to perfect as it could be at the time of publication. Thank you for the feedback while you read. You helped make my ARC day less scary. You’re amazing and I can’t thank you enough.

  The indie community is unlike any other group of amazing writers. Thank you for the support and helping to promote each other. Thank you to all the bloggers who helped spread the word about Throttle Me and my sexy alpha, City.

  I could gush for pages about all the amazing people that helped me, but I’ll let you dive right in and experience it for yourself. I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone. My mind is mush and beyond the point of simple thought.

  Thank you to my readers and fans that I’ve come to call friends. I write for you. I hope you love City and Suzy as much as I do.

 

 

  Chelle Bliss, [Men of Inked 01.0] Throttle Me
