  What’s Inside

  Nicky hissed and stole another lust-filled gaze at Mick. Goddamn, he looked hot as shit. Whew baby! The skin-tight black jeans showed every curve of his delicious round butt and the giant bulge in between his legs. Dear God, Mother Nature had given the man more than his share of testosterone. Feeling a nervous tick on the corner of her mouth, she grabbed the glass of wine and consumed half before setting the glass down onto the bar with a distinct thud. Why the hell was she so nervous around him?

  “Hello, luv.”

  The low timbre of his husky voice sent chills down her spine. Licking her lips, Nicky fought the quivers that threatened to expose her raging, naughty minx desire and turned slowly to face him. “Hey Mick, good crowd tonight.”

  Mick tossed his hair back and eyed the dining room. “Sadly, business is off. I need to do something to kick up the heat.” Grinning, he took her hand and slowly brought her fingers to his mouth, kissing her palm then darting his tongue out to trace a long line down from her wrist to the end of her middle finger. As he took just the tip inside, sucking while he flashed his eyes down to her breasts, he hummed.

  So, this was what they meant by full-court press. Nicky fought the hungry beast that lived within her, the one that wanted to throw herself over one of the pool tables in the back room, meant for men only. They wouldn’t be making love. They'd be fucking rough and rowdy style. Stop it! Chastising her ridiculous thoughts, she pulled her hand away and caught Froggy’s impious grin from the other side of the bar. “Well, I'm sure you'll think of something to drum up business.”

  “Mick, can Veronica and I have a word with you?” The stunning blond swayed back and forth, her grin laced with a naughty glint. “Hey, Nicky girl, nice to see you. Mick’s been asking about you.” Her smile was laced with mischief.

  “Hey, Candy.” Nicky smiled and eyed Mick. Since the first day Nicky had ventured into the neon swathed restaurant, she and Candy had been friends. Had he really been asking about her?

  “Sorry luv, the restaurant queen calls. Be right back,” Mick said quietly as he lowered his head and brushed his lips across Nicky’s cheek.

  Nicky realized she was holding her breath, her nerves on edge and as he walked away, she homed in on his chiseled butt. “Oh my.”

  “Yep, you two are going to have to fuck soon or the restaurant won’t be left standing, given the amount of electricity soaring.” Froggy refilled her glass.

  “I do have to drive home.”

  He grinned. “It’s early.”

  Nicky tried to ignore Mick as he stood with Candy, the waitress who’d brought in the majority of clients. Gorgeous and brilliant, she was paying her way through medical school. She and Nicky had shared many a conversation about Mick. She eyed the second girl who approached and was intrigued as their conversation became animated. “Spill it, Froggy. What are Veronica and Candy talking to Mick about?”

  “You know Veronica. She has ideas all the time about how to make the restaurant better or bring in more clientele. I heard from Candy that Veronica has a rather entertaining idea up her sleeve. It’s good for Mick that they’ve been friends since he moved to the States. The man needs someone to yank his chain every once in a while.”

  “Well if anyone can rope in business with a scintillating scheme, Veronica can. I love that girl. Not only has she become a good friend, but she’s a lot like me,” Nicky said, giggling.

  “Yeah, wicked and tasty.”

  Nicky stuck out her tongue and sipped her wine as she continued to survey the heated conversation. When Mick threw his hands up and strode into the kitchen, Candy gave him the finger and Nicky had to laugh. “You go, girl!”

  Laughing, Veronica tipped her head to Candy and both girls headed in Nicky’s direction. “Hey you. I’m glad to see you here. You might be our savior.”

  “Why do I feel a nightmare coming on?” Nicky asked, giving her a heated look.

  “Because you know that Veronica won’t take no for an answer,” Candy mused and plopped onto the closest barstool.

  “So, what were you trying to get Mick to agree to?” Nicky toyed with her wine glass.

  Veronica shrugged. “Business sucks and I have an incredible idea to bring in more customers.”

  “Let me guess. Your idea is nothing but pure sin. Right?” Nicky laughed.

  “Let’s just say the snazzy event has to do with having an all-male stripper night,” Veronica pouted.

  “And Mick wants nothing to do with it.” Candy sighed, nibbling on her bottom lip. “Tell her the rest.”

  Veronica hissed. “I figured you would bring that up. I was just thinking about something like a mechanical bull to add to the festive fun.”

  “Male stripper night complete with electronics, eh? I think that sounds like a wonderful idea. Your boy toys would participate I would assume?” Nicky loved the fact Veronica lived with two of the hottest males around and the relationship simply worked for them. “Tell me the rest. You're terrible at lying.”

  “You bet my boys are going to be involved, sister! Granted, they don’t know the details yet or all the tasty little debacles they’re going to be in the middle of, but…” Veronica giggled. “Besides, I kinda made a bet with them.”

  “A bet?” Nicky grinned. “Meaning?”

  “Meaning that she told them she could get any man to do anything and everything she wanted.” Candy laughed.

  “Interesting. That sounds a bit dangerous,” Nicky mused.

  “Don’t remind me,” Veronica snarled.

  Chapter 1

  “Why the long face, lovely lady?” Leaning over the bar, the rugged blond gave her a saucy grin, his eyes twinkling. “I think you need a good fuck and I have the perfect guy in mind.”

  Nicky French sighed as she shook her head. “Very funny, Froggy.” She loved coming to the Flamingo Rustler, the location a perfect stop on her way home from work.

  “I’m serious.”

  While she should be shocked at his brazen comment, he was dead on. She hadn’t had sex in over a year and she was as horny as she’d ever been. “Don’t say his name to me. After the day I’ve had, I don’t want any additional shit.” The entire day had indeed been wretched, the horrors included three full-blown arguments with homeowners, the usual threat against her safety for being a ‘bitch’ and one massive water leak in her own townhouse.

  “I stand by my comment.” Winking, Froggy gave her a heated look. “And an intense round of spanking would do you some good. Over the knee, bare-assed spanking.”

  “What?” Nicky had to admit the thought sounded delicious.

  “Yup. You’re cranky as hell.”

  “If you must know, I hate my job.” She eyed the handsome bartender who’d become a good friend over the past few months and swirled her drink as she thought about her career. Nicky French, Community Association Manager of the very prestigious gated community association, Leopard’s Pointe, was nothing but a punching bag for a group of bedraggled owners who truly believed they were better than everyone else.

  Froggy chuckled and grabbed the bottle of merlot, filling her glass to the rim. “Here, sunshine, I think you need another. I haven’t seen you this antsy in a month. I still think I know exactly what, or who, you need to get you out of your mood.”

  Grabbing the glass, she raised her eyebrow before taking a large gulp. “Why don’t you tell me then.” Every other night she was stopping by The Flamingo Rustler restaurant and bar for a nightcap. Alcohol definitely soothed her savage beast in trying to deal with the nutcases that disguised themselves as upstanding citizens. Liquor had become her friend. Wasn’t that a freaking pain in the ass?

  Slowly he turned his head toward the kitchen door, grinning mischievously. “Why don’t you take the boss up on his offer of unbridled lust? Think about the possibilities. One night of uninhibited raunchy sex is just what the doctor ordered. I think if you ask him right now, he’ll be happy to ride you like a wild pony. Here he comes now.”

  Coughing, Nicky couldn’t help but turn her gaze toward the hottest male she’d ever seen in her life. Mick St. Simons was all beefy brawn at six-foot-five with sun-kissed shoulder length hair and the most dashing cerulean blue eyes she’d ever seen. Without a doubt, his all male swagger and delicious Aussie accent were the very reasons a series of tremors shimmied deep into her pussy every time the man opened his mouth. Shivering, she blinked furiously as she watched him saunter through the crowd of adoring patrons, greeting the long-time customers with a sensuous flair. “Whew.”

  “Uh-huh, you're drooling love,” Froggy murmured as he wiped a single bead of wine from her chin. “You two adore the hell out of each other. Why don’t you go fuck like bunnies and soothe the hunger furrowing inside of you?”

  “That’s an interesting way to put it. Why don’t you announce that over the loud speaker so the entire restaurant can hear your shameless thoughts?” But damn, if she didn’t hunger for the rough-hewn man like no other. The thump, thump, thump of her heart matched her scattered breaths as he inched closer. Squeezing her cunt muscles, Nicky knew damn good and well she craved the man who’d toyed with her for six long months. Gulping another large taste of wine, she closed her eyes and tried to control her ridiculous reactions.

  Froggy leaned close and sent a pulse of hot breath dancing across her skin. “Yep, you're hooked and horny. Mick!”

  Her eyes flew open and she grabbed his wrist. “Stop it! You know Mick and I wouldn’t be good together.”

  He shook his head, wrenched his arm away from her and eased back from the bar. “Quite the contrary. I think the two of you will be sinfully tasty together.” Tipping his head, he sauntered down toward the end of the bar, swaying his hips back and forth to taunt her.

  Nicky hissed and stole another lust-filled gaze at Mick. Goddamn, he looked hot as shit. Whew baby! The skin-tight black jeans showed every curve of his delicious round butt and the giant bulge in between his legs. Dear God, Mother Nature had given the man more than his share of testosterone.
