Gemma

Bentley’s dark gaze burns me from the outside in, causing muscles I didn’t know I had in my nether regions to clench and throb. A vibrantly hot shiver runs through me at the sound of his gruff voice.

Laying eyes on him after so long is an almost spiritual experience. Time has been good to him. He seems taller, darker, and oh-so-delicious, dressed in a casual button-down shirt that stretches across his wide chest and jeans that fit snugly over his muscular thighs.

And it seems I’m not the only one who’s added some ink to my body as tattoos peek from beneath his shirt sleeves and in the tempting V of flesh revealed by his open collar.

He exudes an air of animal magnetism that weaves around me from across the room. If he were a steak, he’d be sizzling. And then there are those dark caramel eyes framed by a tangle of black lashes. They’re potent. Mesmerizing.

I’m not sure whether to run away screaming or strip naked and fling myself at him like a horny monkey.

His shoulders are broader than I remember, his rugged face even more handsome, and dear God, the size of those hands. They look big enough to swallow my breasts while his thumbs lazily stroke my nipples and—

Nope. No. Nuh-uh. I won’t go down that path again; that way lies danger.

Yup, the danger of sprawling naked on the conveniently placed chaise and shouting, “Take me! Take me now!”

Not that Bentley would be interested in “taking me.” He won’t be the one venturing where no man has gone before. He’s never seen me as anything but Callum’s kid sister. He made that abundantly clear when he left Garland for the big city and the big university and never once returned in all these years. It still stings that he’s kept such a long, large distance between us when I believed he was my friend too.

I give myself a mental shake. Those are thoughts I’ll have to examine later.

But for now … priorities.

Bentley is back. Of all the art studios in Crystal Peak, I had to walk into Bentley Cormack’s. Well, okay, there’s only one art studio in Crystal Peak, but that doesn’t do dramatic justice to the situation I find myself in. Because …

One, Bentley heard me yammering to myself like a fruit loop.

Two, he clocked the tattoo on my lower back that no one other than Peyton knows about, and if my parents find out, they’ll probably try to perform an exorcism to free me from the demon that made me do it.

Three, he’s the artist I’ve paid in advance to draw me naked.

And four, he copped an eyeful of my boobs, which may have included some nipple action.

Number four shouldn’t thrill me nearly as much as it does.

Bentley is still scribbling away, his brow furrowed in concentration. I lick my lips and finally find my voice. “So, what are you writing?”

He frowns, and my fingers itch to reach out and smooth it away. “Not writing. Drawing.”

“Oh. What are you drawing?”

His gaze lifts to mine. “You.”
