Excerpt:
Lindsay watched him walk toward a door halfway between the restrooms and the bar. The view of his back and butt proved to be every bit as nice as the view of his front. And she’d always loved the name Sam.
He took a key ring from his pocket, unlocked the door. She caught a glimpse of cases of liquor on shelves since he left the door ajar a few inches.
I wonder what he’d do if I went in there with him, closed the door, and attacked him?
Lindsay took a sip of her fresh Coke. As if she’d ever do anything like that. She couldn’t possibly consider sex with a man when their entire conversation had consisted of less than ten sentences.
But then, why not?
Lindsay had never been shy, but she considered herself conservative. She’d never had sex with a man on the first date. She’d never asked a man out, believing he should be the one to take the first step. Her girlfriends all called her old-fashioned and said she should move into the twenty-first century where women had no problem asking a man for a date.
Maybe she should. Maybe she should do something she’d never done, something totally out of character. |
