Imagine Ink 5 Sneak Peek
January made the mistake of walking past his table after her shift. Logan grabbed her wrist and looked up at her with those seduction-colored eyes. “You going home with me tonight?”
His palm was searing her wrist, but even worse, everything else about him was igniting her thong. January Snow Thorne was born at night, but it wasn’t last night, and she wasn’t about to make that mistake. Even though it looks like one hella delicious mistake.
The air chilled her wrist where his hand had been when he let go to lean back in his chair. Still staring at her, he was patiently awaiting an answer.
Seriously? Feigning confidence, she finally found her voice. “Does that really work for you? Just sit there night after night ogling a girl, then, out of the blue, you ask if she’ll go home with you?”
A raised eyebrow and folded arms were all she got as an answer.
“You’ve never even tipped me, now you want to have sex with me?” Logan’s silence was really starting to push her buttons; why didn’t he say something? Now that she really thought about it, why didn’t he tip her—ever? He tipped the other girls and even the bartenders, why not me? Her shoes stuck to the floor as she shifted her feet nervously. Focusing on his outstretched, denim-wrapped legs, she tried that Zen crap her sister always preached about. It didn’t work.
“Why is that, by the way? You never tipping me?” The wooden chair scraped across the beer-stained planks as he rose to his full height and fished out his wallet. Surely, he’s not going to offer me a tip now.
Logan tucked a twenty under his empty amber bottle, and she took a moment to appreciate the way his shoulders moved and bunched under the worn leather of his jacket when he returned his wallet to his pocket. “Because you’re not a whore.” He spoke softly to the table, and January almost missed it.
“You don’t tip me because I’m not a hooker, so you tip other dancers, waitresses, and actual hookers, just not me?” His chuckle bubbled up from somewhere deep, and it was rich and full. It traveled straight through her ears to her pussy. Damn.
“No sweetheart, you never, ever tip a hooker,” he managed to say while he continued a softer laugh to himself.
“Well then, um, you’re weird, and I’m late, so see you around…never.” Before she had a chance to unstick her shoes from the floor and turn to flee, Logan was right in front of her, invading her personal space with only his head as he leaned in to speak into her ear. His lips were a mere breath away from the sensitive skin. If she tilted just a bit, she’d know if his lips were as soft as they looked. Whoa, down girl. This guy is a dog, most certainly not the kind of man who stays around to cuddle after he gets what he wants.
“I don’t tip you because you’re not a whore. When I fuck you, and make no mistake about it, I will fuck you, you’ll know I didn’t pay for the pleasure.” His words just started to register when he nipped her ear lobe, and then he was headed out the door. And here she was, stuck to the floor, choking on her tongue, and on the verge of needing a new pair of underwear.
