I think you could sum my first expression with menage erotica could be classified as delicious. I really didn&#8217;t know what to do after I read it because at the time I didn&#8217;t even want anyone to know I had read such a book. What would people say if they knew I&#8217;d not only read a kinky book but that I liked it too? Well, you know what? Years and hundreds of kinky books later, it doesn&#8217;t matter. I&#8217;ve embraced my inner kink and love menage books and I have a thing for bondage and D\/s that I happily own. Mom, these are things I don&#8217;t want to talk to you about but I&#8217;m okay with you hearing. Where am I going with all this? Well, I am building up to saying that Jennifer Kacey&#8217;s Member&#8217;s Only series is a series that is definitely on my menu. I think it&#8217;s under the, &#8220;Tasty, Mmmm&#8230; Mmmm&#8230; Good&#8221; section too.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Chris and Jared are twins and have been friends of Cyn&#8217;s since they were all developing the parts that would one day interlock to make the best of fun, sexy\u00a0times. Unknown to all of them they were all thinking of interlocking those parts into a puzzle of moaning, groaning, sweaty, joy since those parts started making them yearn for completion. When the guys go intelligence gathering and uncover Cyn&#8217;s diary and find that she has been having a yen for being the creamy center in their Double-Stuff Oreo, these men of action finally act. Let me tell you, these men of action are the sort of action figures that come with the best &#8220;give-me-more&#8221; accessories. My Star Wars Boba Fett never had ropes or wipes like Master J and Master C have. Effin&#8217; useless bounty hunter to play the game of hide and seek with if he can&#8217;t restrain or discipline once he gets his Han S0lo.<\/p>\n<p>The heat rating on this book is many kitties hot. Jennifer Kacey is not at all afraid of setting pages on fire and making readers burn. I enjoy the fact that she does allow for Cyn to admit that she has always wanted both brothers and that she was made to feel shame because it was obvious to others. She also makes no bones of putting it out there that the boys have always felt some ownership for her and that even were they not to have found the book that there is an evitability in regard to the relationship with the three of them. It gives the relationship a great deal of depth and pulls the book out of that place where you are looking at something that is pure smut. This isn&#8217;t solely bow-chicka-wow-wow, there is substance and there is a relationship. And then there is a crap ton of very explicit and dirty, kinky, fun times, with toys, kissing, voyeurism, power exchange, sexual exploration and plain old crack that ass and like it!<\/p>\n<p>So, where is there something amiss? There is something I find a lot in \u00a0reading for reviews and beta reading that I like to call <em>Body Placement Query<\/em> or, <em>&#8220;Is that his dick in her ear or her elbow in his ass, the author wasn&#8217;t very clear about it&#8221;<\/em>. Generally what causes this is a few things, the author is into the scene and while they are writing it they know what they are meaning it to say so they can&#8217;t see what they are actually drawing for their reader. Their editor isn&#8217;t so great at reading the writer&#8217;s sex scenes and skims through them and never catches these parts. Or they feel uncomfortable calling attention to these parts. That is your job editors and that is a real crap insult to the author. Shame on editors for disrespecting the writing and work an author does by not giving a good eyeball to what they are editing. And if you have beta readers they are more interested in telling you what you want to hear than helping you be a better writer. I don&#8217;t know what was happening with this book and which of the above was a situation or if there was something else in play but Jennifer has a higher than normal amount of body placement queries. I do think some of it could be because in some scenes there is just a chaotic amount of things going on with hands, mouths, holes, body parts, several partners and sometimes accoutrements involved at once. I found myself having to stop and go back a page and read over what I had just read to try to cypher if she was already being screwed, if she was asking to be screwed, or if she was being told she was going to be screwed. That is like getting ready to do the deed and your partner stops to say, tell me the laws of thermodynamics. If you have to stop and wonder what the hell is going on it ruins the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is a great introduction to what promises to be a great sex club series. All the secondary characters introduced are very engaging and the breadcrumbs leading to back stories are more than enough to have you wanting to know what will happen with Nick or Jenna at some point in the future. If you like The Wicked Lovers Series by Shayla Black or Masters of Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair this book should be your next martini.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/17383012-together-in-cyn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3437 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Add-to-Goodreads.jpg?resize=130%2C48&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"48\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Purchase Together in Cyn:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00DEK1THQ\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00DEK1THQ&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=allthethiin02-20&amp;linkId=UE5HT5AVNPAWV3X6\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/together-in-cyn-jennifer-kacey\/1115691809?ean=9781419944079&amp;cm_mmc=AFFILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-apozwU1Tpl0-_-10:1&amp;r=1\" target=\"_blank\">B&amp;N<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/store.kobobooks.com\/en-us\/books\/Together-in-Cyn\/gSKE5osFPkOJzIZKDUN_gQ?MixID=gSKE5osFPkOJzIZKDUN_gQ&amp;PageNumber=1&amp;s=2al90qr1e02toguatHs-aA&amp;r=1&amp;utm_source=linkshare_us&amp;utm_medium=Affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=linkshare_us&amp;siteID=apozwU1Tpl0-3SZYr5HsUbKOt2Z5KzDwPg\" target=\"_blank\">Kobo<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ellorascave.com\/together-in-cyn.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ellora\u2019s Cave<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allromanceebooks.com\/product-togetherincyn-1222748-340.html\" target=\"_blank\">All Romance Ebooks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3254 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/havecoffeeneedbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Blog-Separater2.jpg?resize=400%2C80&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Blog-Separater2\" width=\"400\" height=\"80\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Together in Cyn Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chapter 1 &#8211; (Unedited)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo Cyn why aren\u2019t you fucking anybody?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was the question that sent my mouthful of beer down the wrong pipe.\u00a0I sputtered and coughed my way through it, nearly knocking over the glass as I got it under control.\u00a0The beer anyways.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere in the hell did that come from?\u201d I asked as I reached for the heart necklace lying against my chest.\u00a0\u00a0Jared Kennedy, one of my best friends, glanced at it and then back to my face with a knowing smirk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh come on. Is it that there isn\u2019t anybody that creams your Twinkie at the moment or do you not like sex in general? We want to know.\u00a0So don\u2019t be shy, just answer the question.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other half of the\u00a0<em>we<\/em>\u00a0he referred to was his fraternal twin Chris, who stood across an empty dance floor and behind a bar thirty feet away.\u00a0I started working the heart pendant back and forth on the chain as I turned back to Jared.<\/p>\n<p>Jared leaned back in his chair with arms crossed over his broad chest and an expectant smile, apparently getting comfortable enough to wait me out.\u00a0They had always done that.\u00a0Known just the right face to make and I would answer anything.\u00a0They acted broody or looked impatient and I wanted nothing but to make them happy.\u00a0Pathetic is a huge understatement for what I am when it comes to these two.<\/p>\n<p>It was Saturday night at CJ\u2019s, and it was rare to have Chris restocking the bar after they\u2019d closed and locked the door.\u00a0Normally it was just Jared and I on weekends cleaning up after they closed. Chris tended the bar on week nights so it was great to get to see them both.\u00a0I helped out part time when they needed it, plus I had nothing better to do on a Saturday night even after working all day at a local gym.\u00a0The three of us had been close for years but this line of questioning was odd even for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like sex just fine J.\u00a0As much as anybody does I guess.\u00a0Whether I like it as much as you and Chris, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0Your\u00a0<em>appetites<\/em>\u00a0have always run on the high side from all the gossip mongers around town.\u201d I squirmed in my chair. I admit it.\u00a0One of my best friends was asking me if I liked sex, and all I could think was that up to this point, not really.\u00a0All sexual encounters I\u2019d had up to date had been lack luster all the way down to disastrous.\u00a0Most guys you\u2019re sleeping with really don\u2019t appreciate being called another guy\u2019s name, or two guys\u2019 name\u2019s, when you\u2019re getting off.\u00a0It\u2019s a real deal breaker apparently.\u00a0Just ask me, I should know.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen if you like sex, why aren\u2019t you having any?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very glad my beer was well out of reach at this point or I would have choked on it again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot that it is any of your business, but who\u2019s to say I\u2019m not having sex every night, and twice on Sundays?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I cocked an eyebrow in his direction with a little bit of sultry thrown in too, with what I hoped was a sassy twist of my lips.\u00a0That sass faded into scared rabbit when he gave me that look again.\u00a0He\u2019d been giving me that look all night long.\u00a0It was a look I\u2019d seen for years, and hated because it was never directed towards me in the past.\u00a0It was Jared on the make.\u00a0Now that it was, I was a little bit thrilled and a whole lot terrified.<\/p>\n<p>Thick lashes were half hooded over the most gorgeous blue eyes ever created and tanned skin pulled tight over a tall muscled frame many a female resident of our fair city of Arcadia had fantasized over. Then, right at the height of my ogling, he reached one of his strong hands up and ran long thick fingers through his blond sun streaked hair.\u00a0\u00a0It wasn\u2019t too long, or too short like from his military days.\u00a0It was just long enough to hold onto for one nice long ride.<\/p>\n<p>I pulled my eyes away as his hair fell back into place and he leaned forward onto the table to reach for his beer. He ran his fingers across my arm on the way, and it was all I could do to suppress the shiver trying to work its way up my forearm.<\/p>\n<p>We had been coming to this bar for years I thought as I looked around at anything but Jared or Chris.\u00a0We came here the first time on my 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0birthday and the place just grew on us. The parking lot was huge and normally packed like it had been earlier in the evening.\u00a0\u00a0Liquor shelves cascaded up behind the dimly lit bar and neon beer signs lighted the wall above as well as the now empty dance floor.\u00a0The exposed ceiling highlighted the wood details which were throughout the building and the front wall of windows attracted more than a few passersby most nights.\u00a0A dozen tables ringed the open space in the middle, and there were a few off in more hidden corners like the one we now sat at before heading home.<\/p>\n<p>Before the brothers up and joined the Marine\u2019s less than a week after they turned eighteen, the three of us had been inseparable.\u00a0We went to school together and they always treated me like a sister or one of their damn buddies.\u00a0We remained close when they were away and they always crashed at the townhouse next door to me when they were on leave instead of staying at their parents\u2019 house.\u00a0I tried everything over the years to get them to notice me, but nothing seemed to work.\u00a0I was too skinny, with not enough boobs or ass apparently to notice.\u00a0So I had been firmly placed in the friend category.\u00a0Yippee\u2026Not!<\/p>\n<p>Seven years after the first time we stepped through those doors the guys now owned it.\u00a0Three years ago when the guys finished their tours and came home their parents unexpectantly gave them their inheritance.<\/p>\n<p>Rewarding them for their service or giving them a hefty nest egg to start their civilian lives had seemed very out of character for their parents.\u00a0They were part of the rich upper crust of our town and never seemed to really care about the guys either way from what I could see.\u00a0They had no time for children, so giving the guys their inheritance early while they were still young enough to use it and make something of themselves had been one of the only decent things I\u2019d ever seen them do.<\/p>\n<p>Chris and Jared decided to take some of the money and invest it in our small town instead of moving away to someplace bigger and better.\u00a0What they did with the rest of the money was still a mystery they\u2019d never told me.\u00a0Or why their parents sold their house and moved to New York before the guys even returned home.\u00a0They obviously kept me in the dark about some things yet when they wanted questions answered I was supposed to be at their beck and call with the 411 on my life, and sex life or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<p>My mouth went dry and mortification crept in when I registered what Jared just said while I was day dreaming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve heard what the past few nights?\u201d I asked as I reached for my necklace again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe high pitched whirl of a vibrator Cyn.\u00a0I\u2019ve heard it every night coming from your bedroom and I know it\u2019s you.\u00a0We don\u2019t think that really counts as sex because you\u2019re flying solo.\u00a0So I wondered why you aren\u2019t involved with someone other than your purple boyfriend.\u00a0And why you\u2019ve all of a sudden taken up to jilling so often.\u00a0Any particular reason?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He leaned back in his chair again after finishing his beer, and my gaze drifted down to his lap.\u00a0An impressive hard on was displayed behind the faded jeans he normally wore at the bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve heard me\u2026m<em>asturbating<\/em>?\u201d\u00a0I snapped my gaze back up to his face and then over to Chris who was standing behind the bar drying a glass.\u00a0He was staring straight at me.\u00a0He was just as tantalizing as his brother but he was the opposite in coloring.\u00a0Darker in every way.\u00a0Brown hair a bit shorter, and chocolate brown eyes that a girl could drown in.\u00a0His eyes held secrets I\u2019d always been afraid to uncover.\u00a0Tonight was different though.\u00a0He looked hungry.<\/p>\n<p>He was too far away to hear what we were discussing since music still played through the sound system.\u00a0\u00a0But he knew. He knew!<\/p>\n<p>Here I sat in their too warm bar with my hair pulled back in a careless pony tail, and both men that headlined in every single one of my fantasies stared back at me.\u00a0And they not only knew I was masturbating, but how often I was doing it.\u00a0\u201cHow can you hear me?\u201d I whispered as I closed my eyes wishing I was anywhere but here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy bedroom is right on the other side of your wall.\u201d I lived in one townhouse and Jared and Chris lived in the adjacent one even though I knew they could afford a much bigger place.\u00a0We had mirror imaging floor plans but how in the world had I never known how thin the walls were.\u00a0\u201cI can hear everything.\u00a0I can hear you sing while you vacuum.\u00a0I can hear your TV when you fall asleep with it on.\u00a0I can even hear you talk in your sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mortified.\u00a0I was truly and utterly mortified.\u00a0\u201cOh my God, you can hear me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I looked over at Chris again where he was still watching me. He tossed the towel over his shoulder and carried a half empty box of supplies into the back.<\/p>\n<p>A few moments passed and Jared finally said, \u201cBlondie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I whipped my head around so fast I think I got whiplash.\u00a0A broad grin greeted me when I looked up into his face again and he flashed me his most charming smile.\u00a0\u201cDid you really just call me that?\u00a0You know I hate it!\u201d\u00a0They had nicknamed me that when I was twelve and it had forever made me feel like my IQ was about as big as my shoe size.<\/p>\n<p>He shrugged his broad shoulders, seemingly oblivious to my ire.\u00a0After trailing his eyes down my body and back up, the twinkle of amusement changed to something heated.\u00a0\u201cOh yeah I know, baby,\u201d he leaned close again and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. \u201cBut I\u2019ve been trying to get a rise out of you all night long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I snorted.\u00a0\u201cYou definitely got my attention when you outed yourself as a voyeur, J. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCyn, a voyeur is someone that gets their rocks off just by watching, and we want to do a hell of lot more than watch.\u00a0So why don\u2019t you tell me why you\u2019ve nearly worn through the chain on your necklace from messing with it tonight, and chewing on lips that are much better suited to\u2026other things.\u201d\u00a0He ran his thumb across my lower lip to emphasize the point, and my mouth opened without my permission so I could lick him all over starting with that finger.<\/p>\n<p><em>Because I\u2019m in love with you, and your twin.\u00a0Have been for almost a decade.\u00a0I\u2019ve got a journal at home filled with what I want you to do to me and I know I\u2019ll never be brave enough to show it to you.\u00a0Plus I want you to fuck me until I can\u2019t walk for two days.\u00a0Then I want you to tie me up, blindfold me, and do it all again until I have no voice left from screaming out my orgasms for you.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo reason!\u201d\u00a0I squeaked as I pulled my head away.\u00a0\u201cHey, I\u2019m thirsty.\u00a0You thirsty?\u00a0\u00a0You want another beer before you close up?\u201d\u00a0Without waiting for an answer I was already out of my chair, stepping away from our table in the back corner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou still have half a beer on the table Cyn.\u201d\u00a0Yeah I heard him, but completely ignored the obvious statement and continued making my way across the empty dance floor.\u00a0The entire way I didn\u2019t have to turn around to feel Jared\u2019s gaze on me.\u00a0It heated my insides and made me want to pant and beg.\u00a0I was so damn close to begging.\u00a0Not\u00a0<em>oh please Jared<\/em>, but\u00a0<em>for the love of all that is holy Sir take me and make me yours and then let me pleasure your brother too.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This was really bad.\u00a0After years of trying to get their attention and failing, and years of trying to get over them and failing even worse, I had finally given up hope.\u00a0Made a pact with myself to really try to date and find someone I wanted to be with.\u00a0That idea was now being flushed down the proverbial dating toilet since Jared had to act all interested and charming and gorgeous, and oh Lord I was so sunk.<\/p>\n<p>I realized just how warm I was as I leaned over the bar and put my head in my hand.\u00a0I only had on my blue tank top and yoga pants to combat the Kansas heat in the middle of summer.\u00a0Hell, I hadn\u2019t even put panties on this evening, since I\u2019d treated myself to a waxing at the spa this afternoon before coming to the bar.\u00a0Now as I propped myself up against the smooth lacquered wood in front of me I wished I\u2019d worn Kevlar.\u00a0I felt naked in more ways than one&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3254 size-full\"

(Unedited)<\/p>\n<p>A cold blast of air assaulted Haleigh Grace along with the faint smell of bleach and a loud door chime as she opened the door to Inkfluence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can do this.\u00a0I can do this,\u201d she repeated to herself quietly as she tentatively stepped inside, and took in her surroundings.\u00a0She assumed it looked like most other tattoo parlors around the nation, but she wouldn\u2019t really know since she\u2019d never been in an establishment that catered to body modification.<\/p>\n<p>The open space was immaculately clean, and she let out a sigh of relief.\u00a0Turning back now reeked of being a coward, which she\u2019d had quite enough of, but she would have left and started her search all over again if the place hadn\u2019t been well kept.\u00a0On the left was what she assumed were tattoo stations.\u00a0Chairs and tables of different heights and orientation were lined up next to what looked like mirrored work desks.\u00a0Each had a number of drawers that she guessed were filled with tattoo guns, tracing paper, markers and ink.\u00a0It made her think of the beauty salon if not for the skulls airbrushed on the black surface of each table.\u00a0She\u2019d never look at the salon quite the same again.\u00a0Both places were used to modify your appearance.\u00a0This place was just more permanent about it.\u00a0She caught sight of boxes of black latex gloves that sat on the top of each table and her shoulders relaxed a little bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Of the five stations, only one was occupied.\u00a0A lightly tanned man of unknown height laid atop a long table flat on his belly with his head piled on his hands.\u00a0He was naked from the waist up, and had on jeans and hiking boots.\u00a0She caught a glimpse of his face in the mirror that stood across from him and he looked asleep.\u00a0That didn\u2019t match what she expected since it looked like a huge dragon was taking shape across his shoulder and his side closest to her.\u00a0Crying, cursing, maybe thrashing around a bit was more what she expected him to be doing.\u00a0She wondered what it would feel like and shivered a bit as fresh adrenaline slid through her system.<\/p>\n<p>Well, she would know soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey,\u201d the lone tattoo artist said when he looked up and saw her standing there.\u00a0The high pitched whirl of his tattoo gun went quiet as he paused, and he smiled over at her as he stretched his back.\u00a0He grabbed a cloth draped over the table and it came away smeared with black ink as he wiped the guys shoulder off.<\/p>\n<p>The man with the tattoo gun had dark skin, lovely blue eyes she could see from across the room, and a warm smile.\u00a0Not at all what she expected, well, other than the tattoos that started at his wrists, ran up his arms, and disappeared under the sleeves of his shirt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you, Haleigh?\u201d he asked as he swiveled toward her on one of those short stools you see in most doctors\u2019 offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes.\u00a0Are you Scott?\u201d she inquired, but he shook his head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m Oscar.\u00a0The boss will be out in a minute for you.\u00a0Feel free to look around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks.\u201d She saw him adjust something in his ear and then lean over the guys back he was working on.\u00a0\u00a0The tattoo gun started up and she turned to take in the rest of the shop.\u00a0A huge glass counter sat at the back of the room with items inside that were too small for her to see from right inside the front door. There was open space to get behind the counter on the left side and two doors flanked the space behind.\u00a0One leading to the right and one to the left but they were both closed.<\/p>\n<p>As she turned to the right she made her way over to a nest of couches that were arranged to form an open square with a large black wrought iron coffee table in the center.\u00a0Magazines that you would expect to find in a tattoo parlor littered the top surface.\u00a0Inked Today \/ Pierced Tomorrow.\u00a0Around the World in 80 Tattoos.\u00a0Tattoo Weekly.<\/p>\n<p>She grinned at how normal it all was.<\/p>\n<p>A water cooler stood in the corner of the room with a small trash can next to it, and the far wall was lined with art work.\u00a0Some framed, some photographs.\u00a0All depicting tattoos of varying size, shape, and color.\u00a0The shop lights were bright, throwing light outside the full length windows that filled the front wall illuminating the darkness outside.\u00a0It was spring time in Tyler, Texas which meant it was still eighty something degrees at almost midnight.<\/p>\n<p>The floor looked like stained concrete and her small heels clicked against the solid surface as she made her way across to the far wall which was a dark red color that matched the rest of the decor.\u00a0It was professional looking, but surprisingly comfortable as two ceiling fans moved air around the space, and she rehearsed what she was going to say again.\u00a0Everything was going to go smoothly and she would get done what she wanted and then leave after making her next appt.\u00a0<em>I can do this<\/em>, she thought again.<\/p>\n<p>She walked along the wall studying the artwork. Some were memorials of loved ones lost, dates of special events, or maybe a beautiful tree or an exotic woman.\u00a0Everything on the wall meant something to someone.\u00a0Each of the pictures or sketches, or photographs to Haleigh meant freedom.\u00a0She tugged on her light blue blouse, and ran hands over her silk skirt.\u00a0She was probably overdressed but she was a firm believer in first impressions.<\/p>\n<p>A clock struck midnight somewhere in the open space announcing that,\u00a0<em>The Boss<\/em>, was now officially late for their appointment.\u00a0As the chimes continued to echo over the rock music coming from speakers in the ceiling, she had the fleeting thought of Cinderella running from the ball. From a time when she still believed in fairy tales and happy endings.\u00a0It\u2019d been more than 6 years since she believed in any of that, and tonight marked the night she took her life back.<\/p>\n<p>Well, if Scott could only be bothered to make an appearance.<\/p>\n<p>As if conjured from her thoughts the door on the left behind the counter swung open and one of the most handsome men she\u2019d ever seen stepped through shaking his head, obviously exasperated by something.\u00a0He was taller than 6 foot, though she was still too far away to tell by how much, his hair was short but very dark, and the shirt he had on stretched across his wide chest.\u00a0She was immediately ensnared by his gaze when he looked up, and for the second time in her life she went wet between her legs simply by a man looking at her.<\/p>\n<p>He walked out from behind the counter and slowly came towards her where she still stood by the far corner.\u00a0He didn\u2019t really walk though.\u00a0It was more like he stalked her, his eyes never leaving her body, and she could feel her nipples pucker though she suddenly wasn\u2019t cold anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaleigh?\u201d he asked with a raised eyebrow and a once over that had her blood heating under her skin.<\/p>\n<p>She cleared her throat and extended a hand towards him, but the thought of touching him seemed more dangerous than touching a potentially poisonous snake.\u00a0\u201cYes. Scott?\u201d she managed as he clasped her hand in his surprisingly tattoo free one.\u00a0She actually couldn\u2019t see ink on him anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>He took another step towards her, and dwarfed her in size, and no doubt experience.\u00a0\u201cIn the flesh,\u201d he added as he caressed the skin at her wrist with his thumb.<\/p>\n<p>She pulled her hand back, and he let go somewhat reluctantly and gestured towards the wall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee anything you like?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d she answered before pulling her eyes from his profile. \u201cThere are a lot of beautiful pieces, but not exactly what I want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He took several steps away to a very large frame that showed a lot of very small dainty tattoos, and motioned her over.\u00a0\u201cWhat about these?\u00a0I can do a nice heart for you, a four leaf clover, a cherry\u2026I\u2019ve heard they\u2019re all the rage lately with girls like you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She stopped abruptly, and tilted her head back to glare at him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd what kind of girl am I?\u201d she asked as she resisted the urge to curl her hand into a fist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know.\u201d\u00a0He looked her up and down again.\u00a0\u201cA society type.\u00a0A good girl looking for a walk on the wild side, but something tiny you can hide, that won\u2019t hurt too bad, but you can tell your girlfriends about in whispers when you go to\u00a0<em>the club<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know nothing about me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t take offense, Sweetheart.\u201d He held up his hands as if to hold off her impending attack, but she could tell he wasn\u2019t offering an apology.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019ve been doing this for a long time and I can\u2019t imagine you came in here looking for a skull and crossbones across the back of your neck, or a geisha girl up your rib cage.\u00a0So if one of these isn\u2019t what you\u2019re looking for, what can I do for you?\u00a0I can draw something up for you, and shrink it down,\u201d he added under his breath as he turned and walked toward a notepad that sat on the counter, \u201cif you have something else in mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I\u2019m here to get my nipples pierced,\u201d she replied coolly before he could offer anymore snide comments.\u00a0She tried to keep the annoyance from her tone, but he was really pushing her buttons. He stopped with his hand in mid air over the paper and turned slowly back to face her, letting his hand fall to his side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want your nipples pierced?\u201d\u00a0And as he asked, he stared unabashedly at her small chest which suddenly grew heavy and her skin warmed, which she attributed to nothing but her temper rising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, you do offer that kind of service, do you not?\u00a0It says so on the sign out front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Scott was actually struck speechless for a moment.\u00a0He could count on no hands how often that had happened in the last few years.\u00a0He had some lookers in quite often, but no one as classy as this chick.\u00a0The women who normally came in were covered in tattoos or they were when they left.\u00a0They could be crude, loud and spoke their minds even when no one else was listening.\u00a0This woman screamed innocent and his dick stood up and took notice even though he had no intention of tapping into her inner submissive.\u00a0He finally shrugged and went into his normal spiel though it felt off kilter which pissed him off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c$45 non refundable fee to pierce them and that will include the jewelry.\u00a0So once you sign the consent form; your money is mine no matter if you flake or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t\u2026flake out,\u201d she answered haltingly.\u00a0He looked her up and down again but slowly, and he was struck again with how delicate she looked.\u00a0She couldn\u2019t have been more than 5\u2019 4\u201d in heels and still she was staring him down like she could lay him flat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure you won\u2019t,\u201d he mumbled and her nostrils flared just enough to let him know she heard him.<\/p>\n<p>He stared and realized he had no clue what he was saying and had to concentrate on what part of his speech came next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou need to wash them every day in the shower starting 3 days from today and rotate the rings gently when they\u2019re wet.\u201d\u00a0Good Lord, as if he needed images of her naked burned into his head.\u00a0\u201cYou can\u2019t swim for 4 weeks, and for all that is holy, don\u2019t go in the lake unless you want your tits to turn green and fall off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat gauge is the piercing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a 14 gauge piercing and I\u2019m surprised you even knew to ask the gauge instead of asking for the needle size like most wannabes that walk in the door.\u00a0Maybe you\u2019ll get one done, but you\u2019ll bolt before I can do the other one.\u201d\u00a0He continued and didn\u2019t see her grinding her teeth as he cast a glance over at Oscar and back.\u00a0He told her about what to clean the piercings with, and what the biggest mistakes people make, like changing the rings too early.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have a female associate that could do them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNope.\u00a0Sure don\u2019t.\u00a0It\u2019s me or nada, Sweet Cheeks.\u201d\u00a0He flashed a gorgeous smile and ran his hand along his good few days\u2019 worth of stubble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeggars can\u2019t be choosers I guess,\u201d she answered more to herself.\u00a0She glanced around the shop again.\u00a0\u201cCan I have a minute to decide if I\u2019m comfortable?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure, honey, take all the time you need,\u201d she could see him mentally dismissing her as he walked away towards the back of the shop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy name isn\u2019t, Honey,\u201d she called to his back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, Sweetie, let me know what you decide,\u201d he said without stopping or turning around to face her.<\/p>\n<p><em>Of all the nerve!<\/em>\u00a0She thought as she gave him her back, and crossed her arms under her breasts, while staring at the drawings and photographs again but not seeing them through the haze of red that now clouded her vision.\u00a0She wished he wasn\u2019t handsome and so sure of himself.\u00a0Maybe if his name was Tiny, and he was actually a 300lb Polynesian woman covered in tattoos from head to toe, she would feel more comfortable.\u00a0<em>Who was she kidding?<\/em>\u00a0That wouldn\u2019t help a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the places she thought she could go and be herself it was a place like this.\u00a0A place where everyone went to change themselves to what they wanted or needed.\u00a0She was going to be who she had become after the last six years of nothing but struggling just to survive another day.<\/p>\n<p>Darn this man for making her doubt herself.\u00a0This was her body and her decision and screw anyone including Mr. Hotness and I Know It behind the counter, and what he thought about her.\u00a0She should care less what his<\/p>\n<p>She turned around fully prepared to stride up to the counter with her $45 and chin a little higher but what she saw couldn\u2019t have been farther from what she expected.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson Muse, one of her best friends from high school, whom she\u2019d lost touch with when she went away to college was standing behind the glass front counter talking with the local President of the Jerks Anonymous Club.\u00a0They looked like they were in some type of heated discussion even though she couldn\u2019t hear them.\u00a0It<\/p>\n<p>She had always been a little bit in love with Jackson but figured it was a crush and nothing more.\u00a0Now all grown up, he was beyond words good looking, and the only other man who\u2019d ever made her want to beg to be taken.\u00a0He was a couple inches shorter than Scott, shoulders that could blot out the sun, and a tapered waist that hinted at what he could do with them while horizontal.\u00a0He had dusty blond hair still a bit long and it was tucked behind one ear, hanging loose on the far side of his face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll find someone, Jack.\u00a0Stop worrying,\u201d Scott said.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019ve still got nearly five weeks before we have to panic, though it looks like you\u2019re well on your way like usual.\u201d\u00a0Haleigh had edged forward one step at a time until she was within hearing range to do something she\u2019d never done before.\u00a0Eavesdrop.\u00a0Well wasn\u2019t this just the night of firsts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, if you\u2019d worry a bit more, maybe I could worry a little less,\u201d Jackson spit out and he reached up and ran a hand through his hair, just like she remembered him doing when he was upset when they were in high school.\u00a0His hair fell down into his blue eyes, and before he could fix it, Scott reached up and tucked it behind his ear again.\u00a0The gesture was just like a lover would do, but\u2026that couldn\u2019t be right\u2026<em>could it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust take a breather.\u00a0Why don\u2019t you head home and I\u2019ll close up.\u00a0Duke had to leave but we aren\u2019t that busy and I can handle any other walk ins.\u00a0Be ready for me when I get home,\u201d he added in a darker tone that made Haleigh shiver.\u00a0Jackson\u2019s eyes dropped to Scott\u2019s mouth and his entire demeanor softened.\u00a0They stood almost at the same height so when Scott grabbed Jackson by the back of the neck and pulled him forward, his lips were at the perfect height. He didn\u2019t lightly peck him on the mouth.\u00a0He devoured him.\u00a0Haleigh could see Scott\u2019s tongue briefly before it disappeared between her once upon a time best friend\u2019s lips.<\/p>\n<p>It was literally the hottest kiss she\u2019d ever seen in real life.\u00a0It was like a hors d&#8217;oeuvre of what was to come later. A prelude to what would surely be hot sweaty sex, and orgasms that a fire hose might be needed to extinguish.<\/p>\n<p>Her nipples beaded under her padded bra as she watched Scott pull Jackson\u2019s head to one side. He bit him none too gently underneath his ear, and she heard her friend groan in pleasure as he placed his hands at Scott\u2019s waist. The temperature of her entire body went from mildly aroused to a blazing inferno of need she didn\u2019t understand, and she could feel slick moisture coating the lips of her pussy as the two men\u2019s bodies met flush from their torso\u2019s to their boots.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know she moaned out loud, or the fact that she\u2019d had to step forward a few more feet to grip the top of the counter to steady her now shaky legs, until both men looked up and slowly turned their heads toward her.\u00a0She saw Jackson\u2019s lip pull free from between her piercer\u2019s teeth a moment before they both looked at her, and another moan slipped out before she could catch herself.<\/p>\n<p>Scott looked put out that he\u2019d been interrupted.\u00a0Jackson seemed a bit glassy eyed and then all of a sudden, what looked like fear slid in front of his face and his eyes went wide.\u00a0\u201cHaleigh?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Follow all the updates for this blog by visiting and liking The All The Things Inbetween Facebook page.
