I’m just a single dad trying to keep my family whole.
Pix is a complication. A distraction.
The very last thing I need.
And I’m the last thing she needs.
Determined to knock her and her scorching-hot kiss out of my system, I focus on the task at hand.
Beef auction.
I peel off every last stitch until I’m down to nothing but my underwear.
Well… that and the hard-on to end all hard-ons.
Shit.
I can’t go on stage like this.
Does this place have a shower?
That’s when the door slams open.
A small voice follows.
“Holy… fuck,” she whispers.
I turn.
Flowing red dress.
Lush curves.
Plush lips.
Gorgeous doe eyes locking on mine…
Right up until they drop to my crotch.
I cross my arms as a slow smile curls free.
“Hello, Pix.”
CHAPTER 15
Ava
“Holy… fuck.” That’s all I manage to say.
I’ve just walked in on a half-naked man.
Correction.
I’ve walked in on a half-naked deity carved by the thirst gods themselves. And even though his back is to me, the man is ripped from stem to stern.
Broad shoulders.
Muscular back.
