EXCERPT FROM JOAN SWAN'S FIRST TEMPTATION
Taft grimaced, then introduced himself under his alias. “Walker Ellis.”
“Cesar Cantos,” he said, releasing Taft’s hand, then gesturing to his associate. “Victor Vasquez.” He glanced around the store. “Your beautiful lady tells us you’ve taken over the shop from Ms. Cruise.”
“Living the dream, right?” Taft said.
Cesar’s gaze paused on Brooks, who’d released his arm and stepped back. She was still smiling, but Taft picked up a new edge to her mood. Something decidedly stiff in her façade.
If Cesar noticed, he didn’t show it as his dark gaze traveled over her like a touch. “The American dream, for sure. What’s your favorite toy, señorita?”
Apprehension pinched Taft’s gut. He prepared to respond for her, but Brooks turned her smile up full wattage.
“That’s a little like choosing a favorite pet, isn’t it?” She glanced around the store and started to wander with extra sway in her step. “Walker, honey, which do you think is my favorite?”
Cesar turned a speculative gaze on Taft, who thought of a particular apparatus he’d like to use on Brooks. He strolled toward the shelf where it resided and opened the lid while returning to the group where Victor now moved closer.
“Sugar.” Taft added heat to his voice and shot a heavy-lidded look at Brooks. “This one turns you inside out.”
“Oh.” Brooks gave a breathy laugh and put her hand to her chest. “You know me so well.”
“What is it?” Victor asked, his keen gaze finally off every move Taft made and on the neoprene pads Taft slipped over his fingers.
Cesar shot a look over his shoulder toward Victor. “Miniature vibrators.”
“It’s a brand-new design,” Taft said. “Just out. It used to come with just two touch pads, but now it comes with five.”
“What?” The other man extended the word with wonder.
Taft strapped the slim controller around his wrist. He met Brooks’s eyes with a hot grin, approaching her with his fingers restlessly clenching and extending. She held her plump lower lip between her teeth.
“Each pad has three levels of intensity.” Taft laid the tips of his gently vibrating fingers against Brooks’s cheek. “All controllable at the touch of a finger.” He drew them down her jaw and thrilled at the way her eyes went glassy. “The company is coming out with an attachable palm pad,” he murmured, dragging his fingers down her neck, her chest, “that I could find a hundred ways to use.”
Taft almost thought Brooks was going to let him slide his fingers over her breast when she turned away.
“Let’s give Cesar and Victor one to try out,” she said, her voice high and breathless. “I’m sure their…wives or girlfriends or…significant others…would appreciate the surprise.” She grabbed two boxes off the shelf and pushed them into the men’s hands. “So great to meet you both. We’ll be sure to stop in at Fumar and say hello when we get a chance. Walker’s birthday is coming up, and he loves fine cigars. Maybe I can place an order through your store.”
“We’re a members-only—” Victor started.
“But for you, señorita,” Cesar cut in, “I’m sure we can make an exception.” He held up the box with a nod to both Brooks and Taft. “Until then, welcome to the neighborhood.”
Brooks followed the men to the door, locked it behind them, and waved through the window. Taft also followed. He switched off the front lights so only one shone toward the back of the store. Brooks jumped and gasped as she turned.
He slid one arm around her waist, the hand with the vibrators still attached and shivering, beneath her hair and against her neck, and held her gaze. “What just happened?”
Taft grimaced, then introduced himself under his alias. “Walker Ellis.”
“Cesar Cantos,” he said, releasing Taft’s hand, then gesturing to his associate. “Victor Vasquez.” He glanced around the store. “Your beautiful lady tells us you’ve taken over the shop from Ms. Cruise.”
