Excerpt
Chapter 1
Georgia Burke
slipped a hand down her hip, smoothing her favorite skirt in place as the
summer breeze whipped across the lake. The last thing she needed was
to flash the Drunken Duck patrons on the patio a look at her girly
bits. Granted, they were covered in her sexiest pair of cream lace
panties, and she was here to pick up a hot man to do the dirty with, but her newfound
brazen spirit only went so far.
If she was lucky
it would actually survive until she ordered a drink at the bar.
Georgia's
confidence crumbled as she made her way to the front entrance of the pub and a
group of guys on the patio started laughing. Two pointed at her and the
third whipped his head around to see her. They all had classically good
looks, short hair and lean muscles behind fitted t-shirts. Young.
They snickered at her expense again, but she squared her shoulders and moved
into the interior of the pub.
Fuck them and
their frat boy mentality.
Women came in
all shapes and sizes, and if they expected every female to fit their version of
sexy, they were going to be sorely mistaken when they got out in the real
world.
Georgia put a
little extra swing into her walk as she gathered her confidence again.
She had great tits and a curvy build with no shame in showing off. It
might've taken years to find that confidence, only to have it knocked back by
her last boyfriend, but she wasn't letting any man dictate how she felt about
herself ever again.
Fuck that and
fuck them.
And with that
final thought, she took her size sixteen ass straight to the mahogany bar and
ordered a very nice local craft beer on tap. The little pixie behind the
bar served it up without fuss and started Georgia a tab.
While she was
sipping at her beer and scoping out the crowd, a body bumped into her right
arm. The beer splashed down the front of her fitted, white shirt,
highlighting the lace bra underneath for anyone to see. After setting her
half empty beer down, Georgia turned to face the guy who had yet to apologize
or acknowledge he was most definitely in her personal space. It might be
a Friday night on the lake, but it was still relatively early and the place
wasn't busting at the seams yet.
It was one of
the college boys from the patio. He had a self-satisfied smirk on his
face, staring down Georgia's top but never really looking at her face.
"Nice rack
for a fat chick."
Before she could
speak up, the petite bartender scooped up her glass and handed over a stack of
bar napkins. "Apologize to the lady."
"It was an
accident."
The bartender,
all five feet nothing of her, leveled the kid across from her with a glare that
could melt the skin off his face and said, "Acting like a dick in my bar
will get your ass kicked out. Now apologize."
"Babe, this
isn't even your bar. And I'm a paying customer. No one's kicking me
out."
Georgia raised a
lone eyebrow at the kid's audacity, but the bartender across from her just
threw her head back and laughed. And laughed some more.
When she dropped
her head back down there wasn't any lingering humor on her face. She was
all business and looked a little bit deadly.
"That
mountain standing behind you," she lifted a finger to point at a very
severe, and very large, man that appeared behind the frat boy, "is my
husband."
"Molly?"
Georgia did a
double take when the massive man slapped a hand down on the kid's
shoulder. He was tall, well over six feet, built like a brick house, and
completely bald. Dead sexy as well. But that was all secondary to
how quickly the frat boy paled when he turned to face Molly's husband.
"Cal, be a
doll and show this dick and his friends off the property."
The kid
sputtered as Cal led him away with a firm grip without another word.
Georgia turned
around and faced Molly behind the bar. "Thanks, but you didn't have
to kick anyone out because of me."
Molly
frowned. "Honey, those fucking clowns needed to go. They're
predators and it was just a matter of time before Cal throat punched
them. It was my pleasure."
Even though she
smiled, Georgia didn't know what to say in response to that, so she just
started to mop up her wet shirt.
"You
vacationing here? Haven't seen you around before."
"My brother
lives here and I'm house sitting while he's road tripping with my nephew. I
just got in this afternoon."
"You're
Dane Burke's kid sister? Georgia, right?"
Georgia's head
snapped up. "You know Dane?"
Molly
shrugged. "Small town. He's neighbors with a good friend of
mine. Nice guy. Great kid."
"Yeah,
they're both pretty great."
"Welcome to
Fox Lake." She paused, placing a fresh beer down. "Your
neighbor in the bungalow is Emma Rae, and her man is Gabe. You let any of
us know if you need something while you're here."
Georgia nodded,
then sat back and took in the petite woman. Small town hospitality at its
finest. She might actually like it here. "I appreciate that.
I'm a little out of my element right now."
Molly leaned
forward and rested her arms on the bar before speaking. "Stop back
in through the week sometime. It's typically quieter, and I'll buy you a
drink. We're going to be friends, chick."
Georgia let a
slow smile spread across her face. "I'd like that, Molly."
"Good.
I'll be back to check on you in a bit. Crowds going to be picking up
soon." She slapped a hand down on the bar before walking away.
Georgia scanned
the area again. It looked like everyone was paired off or in groups.
So much for her grand plan to score a hot guy for some dirty sex. It was
probably a dumb idea anyway. Just because you found your jerk boyfriend
sticking it in your friend, in your bed, and in your apartment, doesn't mean
snapping up a random dude at a bar was a good idea.
But it
definitely sounded like fun.
