Exclusive Excerpt:
I hesitated and instantly thought about at least ten different reasons dancing with Quinn in a gay bar was a bad idea. But then I looked at him, knowing I couldn’t resist. I let him lead me out onto the dance floor and into the heart of the crowd.
The music was loud, and Quinn took only seconds to find the beat. His body moved with a grace that made my mouth go dry. He danced like he skated, fearlessly, with a natural sensuality that took my breath away. I ached with desire.
His shirt rode up as he moved, exposing a strip of smooth, tanned skin creased by his perfect abdominal muscles. My fingers itched to reach out and touch it.
Around us, other men began to peel off their shirts, and their sweat-slicked chests glistened under the throbbing lights. A wicked grin appeared on Quinn’s face, and he reached for the hem of his shirt, tugging it over his head.
My breath caught in my throat. I saw him nearly every day in the locker room, half in and half out of clothes, but this was different. His lean muscle and golden skin were on public display, like a sculpture come to life. As I watched, I wanted him, and my body responded, tightening my jeans.
Still, my wary mind wouldn’t let me fully enjoy the spectacle. A voice in my head told me all the reasons why being involved with Quinn was a horrible idea. He was so young and inexperienced. The media could add cradle robber to all the awful labels they slapped on me.
How could I be the one to introduce him to the world where physical connections complicated everything? How could I expose him to the risks and dangers of loving someone like me?
