EXCERPT
The music
thumped in Hunter Thomson’s ears and throbbed pleasantly against his skin. He
drummed a hand lightly against his arm as he waited for his order, his fingers
matching the beat of the pop song blaring from the club’s speakers. He flashed
a smile at the girl who brought him his beer, turned, and leaned his back
against the bar.
His gaze roamed
the dance floor a few feet from where he stood. It was packed with hot,
writhing men. A dry smile curved his lips as he brought the bottle to his mouth
and took a sip of the cold beverage.
Well, hot
writhing men is what I came here for.
His eyes found
the couple on the far left of the sunken stage. Hunter’s smile turned into a
full-blown grin.
Irritation danced
briefly on Tristan Hart’s face when he met Hunter’s amused stare. The man
working up a sweat against Tristan seemed oblivious to their exchange; Dan
Flynn was already on his fourth drink and focused on his mission for the night.
Which was apparently to get in Tristan’s pants and ride him till the cows came
home.
Hunter could
tell from the subtle way Tristan was avoiding full body contact with Dan that
he wasn’t interested. He knew Tristan would never have accepted Dan’s
invitation had he known the guy would start hitting on him the moment they
walked through the doors of the hottest new gay club in L.A. The fact that Dan
had told him to bring a friend to the opening night had evidently lured Tristan
into thinking his client wasn’t interested in him.
Hunter could
hardly blame the poor man.
With his quiet
brown eyes, rugged good looks, and muscular, tattooed body, Tristan was a
picture of understated masculinity. Not only was he hot, his ability to fix any
motorbike and sports cars that landed in his garage made him one of the most
sought-after mechanics in the state. It also regularly brought a line of men
and women to his door who wanted to get his hands on more than just their
hoods.
All evidence
pointed to the fact that Tristan’s latest client was one such man.
Unfortunately for Dan, the sexy mechanic made it a rule never to mix business
with pleasure.
Had Hunter not
known Tristan since they were practically in diapers, he might have been
tempted to have a taste of the guy himself.
Except we’re
both tops, so that would definitely not have worked out.
Hunter let his
gaze wander over the crowded club. It wasn’t everyday he came to L.A. for a
night on the town and he was determined to make the most of it.
Having two of
his close friends recently get shacked up had made him antsy. It had also been
a few months since he’d hooked up with anyone and he very much wanted to come
somewhere other than his own hand tonight.
Besides, I
have a reputation to keep up. I can’t be Twilight Falls’ most notorious bad boy
when I haven’t seen any action other than my own fingers lately.
A man caught
Hunter’s interest a moment later. Blond, blue eyes. A body that showed he liked
to work out. The stranger’s mouth curved up as he studied Hunter from where he
stood amidst a large group, his expression telling Hunter he liked what he was
seeing too. Hunter’s lips tilted in an answering smile.
Someone stepped
in his line of sight.
Hunter shifted
to try and catch the blond’s attention. The man blocking his view moved too.
Irritation darted
through Hunter.
The guy looming
over him was wearing neatly pressed cream chinos, a navy shirt with a
red-rimmed collar that matched his two tone dress shoes, and a dark blue
blazer. The top three buttons of the shirt were open, exposing an expanse of toned,
tanned flesh.
“Can I get
through?”
Hunter blinked.
The man’s voice
was like whisky poured over rough velvet.
He looked up
and met a pair of arresting hazel eyes set in a chiseled face blessed by the
gods.
The man arched
an elegant eyebrow, his expression patient and seemingly heedless of the
interested stares he was drawing. He had a good couple of inches on Hunter’s
own six foot-two.
“The bar?” the
stranger added slowly, as if addressing a dimwit.
Hunter flushed
and stepped away from the counter. “Er, sure.”
The man’s
cologne filled Hunter’s nose as he slipped past and took his place. He smelled
of pine and evergreens, like the forests of Twilight Falls.
Hunter stared
at the stranger’s wide back. It was clear from his charismatic appearance and
expensive clothes that he was loaded.
A hand landed
on Hunter’s shoulder, startling him. He looked around.
It was the
blond he’d been eyeing up.
“Hey,” the guy
said warmly.
“Hey,
yourself,” Hunter replied with a smile, firmly squashing his burgeoning
interest for the man at the bar.
He’s not my
type, anyway.
The blond
indicated the sunken stage. “Wanna dance?”
A teasing grin
lit up Hunter’s. “I gotta warn you. I have killer moves. Think you can keep
up?”
The blond
chuckled. He leaned in and whispered hotly in Hunter’s left ear.
“I’ve got some
killer moves on my own.”
Hunter’s dick
perked with interest as the blond’s breath washed across his skin. The guy took
his hand and led him to the dance floor.
Three songs and
another beer later and Hunter was feeling buzzed. He and the blond had definite
sexual chemistry; he could tell he would be coming in the guy’s hand, mouth, or
ass tonight.
“Wanna go
somewhere quieter?”
Hunter followed
the blond’s gaze.
He was looking
at a dimly-lit corridor leading to the restrooms.
Hunter masked a
frown. He’d hoped they’d be going back to the hotel he and Tristan had booked
for the night. A quickie in a public toilet wasn’t really his thing.
“It’s not what
you’re thinking,” the blond said mysteriously, as if he’d guessed Hunter’s
thoughts.
Hunter arched
an eyebrow. “It’s not?”
The blond
grabbed his arm. “Come on.”
Hunter scanned
the club for Tristan as he headed for the restrooms with the blond. He found
his best friend with his inebriated client at the bar on the other side of the
floor.
Tristan caught
his eyes. “Everything okay?” he mouthed.
Hunter nodded
and gave him a reassuring wave.
The club’s
washrooms were stark and clean. They were also thankfully empty bar a handful
of men.
One of them was
the blond’s friend, a guy with dark hair and eyes.
“You brought
him,” the man said with a grin.
A sinking
feeling blossomed in the pit of Hunter’s stomach at his expression.
“What’s going
on?” Hunter asked the blond guardedly.
Blondie smiled
at him, his face relaxed despite Hunter’s cool tone.
“We thought
you’d be a good fit for us.”
Hunter
suppressed a grimace. Great.
He studied the
dark-haired guy. “Are you his partner?”
“I am.”
“I’m sorry, but
I’m not into threesomes,” Hunter said gruffly.
Blondie trailed
a teasing hand down Hunter’s chest all the way to the buckle of his jeans and
beyond. “Are you sure? ‘Cause you look pretty turned on to me.”
Hunter grabbed
Blondie’s wrist as he stroked his way back up his erection.
“I was, when I
thought it’d be just you.”
The door to the
restrooms opened. Hunter swallowed a curse when he saw the guy who entered.
It was Hazel
Eyes from the bar.
The man stopped
and looked at them curiously. “Am I interrupting?”
Hunter
recovered his senses first. “No, you aren’t.” He turned to Blondie and his
partner. “Like I said, I’m not interested.”
Blondie pouted.
“That’s a shame. I was really looking forward to having a sex sandwich with
you.”
Hunter stared, not
certain he’d heard right. “Excuse me?”
Hazel Eyes
turned away and started washing his hands at the sink, but not before Hunter
caught the sparkle of amusement in his gaze.
“You know,
where one of us fucks your mouth while the other pounds your ass,” Blondie
explained blithely.
Hunter’s jaw
dropped open. He caught a glimpse of Hazel Eyes’s reflection in the mirror
above the row of sinks. The guy’s lips were pinched tight and his shoulders
were shaking slightly. Outrage shot through Hunter.
Is that
asshole laughing at me?!
“I’m sorry to
disappoint you,” he told Blondie and his partner icily once he’d regained his
composure, “again. But I’m a top, so nobody is going anywhere near my
ass.”
Blondie’s eyes
widened. “Oh, wow.” He paused, a moue twisting his mouth. “Are you sure? ‘Cause
you kinda give off a bottom feel.”
“Positive,”
Hunter growled.
“Oh well, your
loss, I suppose,” Blondie murmured. “Come on, Jeff, let’s get out of here.”
Hunter watched
wordlessly as the pair exited the restrooms. He blew out a sigh, raked a hand
through his hair, and headed for the door.
“You sure you
should be going out like that?”
