Page 5 of Dirty Fantasy

Surreal didn’t even begin to cover this interaction.

“I-I do not understand what is happening right now. Don’t you have to⁠—”

“Ain’t nothing more important in my life right at this moment than setting things straight with you.”

Tana’s mouth dropped open. “Are you crazy?”

“Nah, just curious about you.”

She pointed to the door. “You have women lined up to blow you. What does it matter what I call you?”

His smile took on a honeyed quality that put her panties in danger.

“Hearing that dirty word from that sweet-as-sugar mouth of yours gives me all sorts of fantasies, sweetheart.”

Oh. My. God. Mick Vines is hitting on me.

And I like it.

Her heart thundering, Tana knew she was in danger.

“Well, Mr. Vines, I’ve got a boyfriend,” she heard herself say. “So, fantasies or not, I’m taken.”

His gaze dropped to her hand. “I don’t see a ring on your finger, Tana Zephyr. Which means, as far as I’m concerned, you’re fair game.”

A shocked breath rushed through her lips, but before she could reply, he winked.

“Gotta go. Catch you later for that drink. Don’t think I missed that last Mr. Vines either. Challenge accepted, sweetheart.”

And then he was gone.

Tana had no idea what had actually just happened.

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re fair game.”

“Challenge accepted.”

What?

Tana was in over her head, and she knew it. She picked up her cell phone and called Ronnie.

No answer.

She dialed her mama.

“How was it, baby girl?”

“It was great, Mama.”

CHAPTER 3

She’d dodged him.

His little country starlet had dodged him.

She was gone after his set. Her bus was dark. Her band was out partying, and no one knew where she was.

Janelle and Jenny hung off his arms, but he couldn’t muster up even a shred of enthusiasm for a three-way tonight.
