away quickly, turning towards the counter. I will not be sucked into amazing
blue eyes.
"Excuse me," he says as he
stops next to me. "I just have to grab one of those cards."
I look at the counter, and they are on
the opposite end from him. He inches in front of me as I take a step back. I
close my eyes for just a second and breath in his scent.
Fuuuuuuck!
He snatches a card, then taps it on
the counter as he turns towards me.
"You here to get work
done?"
Can't avoid him now.
I look up and a small piece inside
me melts. Not all men are like Night, right?
"Uh, yeah." I hold out my
hand, and he takes it, holding the ends of my fingers and examines the tattoos.
"Nice. Did they hurt?"
"I have a high pain tolerance,
so not really."
"Women definitely can take the
pain from a tattoo better than most men, so that doesn't surprise me."
There's an awkward silence as we stare
at each other. He pulls his bottom lip into his mouth, and my body instantly
reacts. I can feel the heat rising up my chest.
"What's your name?"
"Piper."
"Well, hello Piper. I'm
Chance."
"Hi, Chance."
