Page 29 of Savage in the Sweets
Lacy:The profits I get from Wilson’s Grove Elementary enable Savage Sweets to stay open. I’ve tried reasoning with you, and that didn’t work. You’re too much of a goody-goody to blackmail…so I figured I’d try a different approach.
Colin:So this is all to get me to back off?
Lacy:Nope. I was going to offer to help you advertise and lure men into your gym, which is why I dressed like I did today…but…it’s been almost a year since I’ve gotten laid….
Colin:With your body, I find it hard to believe that you’d have any problems in that department.
Lacy:men are assholes
Colin:and you’ve suddenly decided that I’m not?
Lacy:I had a weak moment. I did something stupid…and…I’m drunk
Well that explains this interaction.
Colin:Understood. I’ll back off, and I promise, your pictures are safe with me.
Lacy:I don’t know if I want you to back off…
Colin:It is an absolute fact that I prefer you not to back off, and once I run your little shop into the ground, you’ll have plenty of time to head on over to the gym for some one-on-one training….
Lacy:Oh-my-GOD—I cannot believe you would joke about that!
Colin:But…you’re still interested…
Lacy:I am
Colin:Then I hope to see you Friday.
Lacy:We’ll see how you behave…
Colin
DroppingMichael off at school on Tuesday is a bit of an event. Word got around that I pulled Jacob from troubled waters, and apparently, acts of heroism make women incredibly horny. More than one mom fans themself as I walk past them to Michael’s room. Others smile shyly.
None of them hold my attention, though, especially after last night. As complicated as my situation with Lacy is, every time I think of her, I can’t help but get lost in my own mind. I spent half the night staring at her elicit pictures, disallowing myself relief because the buildup is going to make the release that much sweeter.
“Colin Davers! I finally get to meet you!” A hand grabs my shoulder, and I turn to see a pair of amber-brown eyes gazing up at me.
“My name’s Stacy. My daughter, Macy, is in Michael’s class. We were at the party on Saturday.”
She toys with her red hair, pushing her breasts out ever so slightly, which was exactly what she was doing at the party.
I smile cordially. “Nice to meet you, Stacy.”
Her eyes rove my body in an aggressively flirty fashion.
“I heard what you said at the last school board meeting. You may have heard me shouting my agreement.” She licks her lips and leans in close to me, lowering her voice. “Good for you! It’s about time someone started thinking about the crap we’re letting into our schools.”
I clear my throat, growing suddenly uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation. “Well, I may have spoken a little hastily.”
She rests her hand on my forearm as if to claim me. “I don’t think so. Fitness and nutrition are important, and I’m committed to doing better myself. What do you think about me stopping by that gym of yours this afternoon?”
“The gym is only open on the weekends at the moment.”
She gives me a wink. “I know.”
She’s a beautiful woman, with striking features, though I don’t find myself quite as entranced as she intends me to be.
