Just visiting? Hmm. That means he only wants a hook-up. A one-time thing. I can do that, I think. I can be the woman who has a random hook-up with someone and doesn’t get attached. Especially if he looks as good as this. Damn, I just want to lick him all over. Never in my life have I wanted to lick someone, but this man … I wouldn’t hesitate if given a chance.

I’m never going to see him again, right? So why not have some fun? That’s what Lexi said. I look at her. She knows what I’m thinking. She gives me a side smile and just barely nods her head.

“Yeah, we’re just visiting, too,” I lie. That way, he knows I’m not looking for anything serious either.

“What have y’all been doing on your vacation? Assuming it’s a girls’ trip?” Wes asks.

“Oh yeah. Girls’ trip.” I look around at my friends, and they nod, going along with my lie. “We’ve really just spent most of our time at the beach. Did a little shopping. We head home tomorrow.”

“Very nice. The boys and I have just been hanging out, too.” He motions over his shoulder to the two guys at his table. One of them looks like your typical pretty boy, and the other has dark hair and dark eyes. He almost looks a little angry, and maybe his tattoos make him look a little scarier. “Just escaping real life for a bit.”

I smile at him. Escaping real life. That’s what tonight is. I’m escaping real life. Truer words have never been spoken.

Wes’s finger reaches out to graze mine. I feel an electric shock run through my body, perking my nipples right up. It must be because I haven’t been touched by a man in so long, but even a finger graze is making me horny. Jesus.

I meet his eyes again and watch him do that sexy thing with his bottom lip again. Oh my God. I wonder what he tastes like.

My throat suddenly goes dry. I need to get away from this man before I spread my legs for him right here, right now.

“Excuse me. I need to run to the restroom. Be right back.” Wes nods, but there’s a fire in his eyes. I feel his eyes follow me as I hop down from my stool and make my way through the crowd of people to the restroom.

I go into the family stall because all the Women’s bathroom stalls are taken. Plus, too many women are standing in front of the mirrors trying to fix their makeup or hair. I just need a minute of silence to pull myself together.

I lock the door, stand in front of the mirror, and take a few deep breaths. “You can do this. This really hot man wants you. You want him. This could be fun,” I tell myself.

There’s a knock on the door.

“One minute,” I yell back. They can use the other restrooms. I know for a fact there aren’t any families in this place right now needing this particular bathroom.

“Hazel?” I look at the door in confusion at the man’s voice. “It’s Wes.”

My heart stops. He followed me to the bathroom. Ok. Deep breaths.

I unlock the door, and he pushes it open. He walks in, not taking his eyes off me. I watch him lock the door. If I wasn’t in such a crowded bar, I might think he was going to murder me. But with that look in his eye, I can tell he only has one thing on his mind, and it’s currently throbbing between my legs.

“Wh … what are you doing here?” I ask him. He smiles at my stuttering.

“Well, Hazel. I think you’re gorgeous.” I swallow. His fingers push my hair behind my ear. “And, I couldn’t wait another second to see what you taste like.”

My eyes widen. I’m sorry, what?

He doesn’t give me time to respond. He wraps his hand around the nape of my neck, and brings my face up to meet his soft yet firm lips. He tastes like tequila, and it warms me to my core.

We walk backwards until I’m pressed up against the wall. His tongue parts my lips and lazily takes mine with his.

I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him into me. His hardness presses into my stomach, and I gasp into his mouth.

“I want you, Hazel.” I look up into his hooded eyes. Eyes that seem to put me in a trance. “I want you now.” He starts kissing and gently sucking on the sensitive part of my neck.

“Do you want this, Hazel? Do you want me?” Yes. Yes. God, yes. But I can’t find the words, so I just nod my head.

“I need you to say it, baby. Do you want this?” He grabs my hand and puts it on his hard cock.

“Yes, I want it,” I whisper. He smiles a devilish smile, and I feel more dampness hit my panties. I have a feeling this man is going to ruin me.
