I watched his prone
body lower, then lift.
Lower.
Lift.
My breath caught and
my stride slowed as I drew closer. My mouth gradually fell open. My eyes
widened.
Shirtless, baseball
hat spun backward, hands sunk into silver metal pails of sand, he performed the
most unique pushups I’d ever seen. His skin glistened with a sheen of
perspiration under the section’s brighter lights. Taut muscles along his back,
shoulders, and arms flexed under the strain of every measured drop and rise.
The world around me
seemed to stop—except for him. Art in motion. Beauty in action. Every woman’s
fantasy-come-to-life coalesced into one surreal moment where my mind fabricated
my body beneath that incredible male form, under all that raw muscle and
energy.
On the next
downstroke, he paused. Then he glanced up. His gaze locked with mine.
Busted.
Yet powerless to stop
myself, I studied the rigid contours of muscle as he held that position. The
artist in me flared to life, imagining those lines sketched in charcoal. His
tattoo. My gaze lingered on three thick curving tribal-style crescents. The
largest began at the base of his neck, where its tip fanned into multiple
points. Two smaller crescents overlapped tips with the first, each arcing a
different direction, one toward his back, the other curving beneath his arm.
My skin began to heat
under the spotlight of his attention, and I burned the image into my memory for
when I had a quiet moment, later.
My mouth had gone dry.
I swallowed hard.
Then I found my voice
as my brain cells finally began to fire again. “Really? You invite me here and
do that” —I gestured toward him with a wild wave of my fingers— “and I’m
supposed to think only friendly thoughts?”
His lips twisted into
a smirk. “Try.”
I forced my attention
back to his face and held his stare. “All I see is sex on a stick.”
Oh, shit. I blurted
that out loud.
His knees lowered to
the floor, then he pulled his hands from the sand. “Try harder.”
Heartbreaker Synopsis:
Kiki
Michaelson
wants one wild night to forget her starving-artist worries. Simple.
Only instead of
Darren Cole becoming her one-night stand, he taunts her with a challenge. Then
while she’s trying to best him at his own game, he turns out to be the last
thing she’s prepared for: someone she wants to keep.
Which means all
he can ever be…is a friend.
Darren Cole never allows a girl to
get close—not close enough to matter.
Then storms in
Kiki Michaelson, a beautiful, fearless temptation that rocks his world
off-balance. But he fights their attraction, unwilling to gamble something
physical with their close ties. Until the passionate sculptor exposes her heart
and breaks his wide open.
In that moment
it becomes clear: she could never be just a friend.
Sometimes
what you run from…is exactly what you need.
