Hero: Mitch Kowalski. Demolition expert aka likes to make things go boom. Had a wild childhood. Travels back to his hometown to help his injured brother. Doesn’t do long-term relationships. That is until he meets the cute new waitress in town. Who refuses to be wooed by his charm.

Heroine: Paige Sullivan. Has found a new home and great friends in this small town. Has no desire to be ruled by a man. But Mitch is persistent. And is super sexy. No, really.

She took the can from him and squeezed a little spurt onto her finger. Reaching up, she wiped it across his bottom lip. “Oh look. You have a little bit on your mouth, too.”

His breath was a little uneven and his eyes hot as she moved in. With tiny, teasing licks, she cleaned the whipped cream from his mouth. Feeling a little more brazen, she added a little more, this time to the hollow of his throat. When he threw his head back and made a groaning sound as her tongue swept over his skin, she realized she’d found one of his hot buttons.

“You might want to take your shirt off,” she said in a low voice.

She’d never seen anybody take a shirt off as fast as he did. A little whipped cream on his nipples and his fingers were digging into her shoulders. And, when she got to the fly of his jeans, he actually held his breath for a second, before taking a step back.

“It’s my turn. And you might want to get naked.” She did want to get naked, though maybe not in her kitchen, blinds lowered or not. But then he squirted a dollop of whipped cream onto his finger and taunted her with it.

“My couch is leather,” she said. “Easy to clean.”

“You have two seconds.” It probably took her more like thirty or forty, but only because she got tangled up in her pants halfway from the kitchen to the couch. They were both laughing when she collapsed on the sofa, but it didn’t stop Mitch from whipped-creaming her nipple. Amusement quickly turned to desire as he leaned over her, sucking the topping off. When he turned the nozzle toward her other breast, she intercepted the stream and ended up with a serving in her hand.

When she reached out and smeared it down the rigid length of him, his breath hissed through his teeth and his hands curled into fists. Paige only had to shift a little to get her dessert.

She started slowly, with long licks that made his body tremble, and he muttered a curse under his breath. Paige took that as encouragement, running her tongue along his shaft until he unclenched his hands and buried them in her hair.
