Body Shots by Amber Skyze

watched the exchange between owner and employee. Henry was looking out for Sierra’s best interest. Something Reed appreciated. He liked knowing she was safe when Henry was around. A backup for when he couldn’t protect her.
    “I’ll be fine. Reed and I have some business to discuss.”
    “I paid him,” Henry declared.
    “I know. We have other things to discuss.” Her words were soft, where he was harsh. Henry was leery of Reed and he didn’t blame him. Why should he trust a total stranger alone with his boss. Especially a stranger who was making her do things out of her norm.
    Yes, they had things to discuss. Like why she was avoiding him.
    “You’re the boss.” Henry grabbed his coat and headed out the door.
    Finally Reed had her alone. Time to show her why they were meant to be together.
     
    Sierra’s body went into overdrive as Reed approached her. This was the reason she hid upstairs. Her body deceived her whenever he was close. Her head knew they couldn’t be together but her heart and body had a mind of their own.
    He wrapped his arms around her waist. She felt his bulge against her back. She wanted him inside her. She shook the thoughts from her mind. She had to end this once and for all. She had to make it clear there wasn’t going to be a repeat performance of their night together.
    She turned, ready to lay her cards on the table.
    He captured her lips. His tongue plunging into her mouth, invading. He tasted of tequila, reminding her again of their night together.
    She melted into his arms, accepting his kisses.
    His hard penis rubbed against her.
    She moaned.
    Just one more time . One last time and that was it. Because she couldn’t continue to do this. But what would it hurt if she had him inside her one more time.
    Nothing.
    She pushed away. “I have an idea.”
    She rushed to the bar and picked up a bottle of strawberry schnapps and a shot glass. “Body shots, with my favorite liquor.”
    He rested his lean muscular frame against the pool table. “Strawberry schnapps? That’s a sissy drink.” His green speckles teased.
    “Really. Then I guess you don’t want to see what I can do with a bottle of schnapps? I think you’ll regret it in the morning.”
    Their easy banter intrigued her. It was natural, like they’d been together forever. She’d forgotten what it felt like to have an easy rapport with a man. But they weren’t a couple. This was sex and only sex. In the morning they would go their separate ways and she’d never ask his band back to her bar. She’d never let him back into her heart. It was way too risky.
    “I’m all yours,” he said, spreading his arms wide.
    At least for the moment . If she was going to do this, she might as well go out with a bang.
    She placed the stuff on the pool table.
    “I think you have too much clothing on,” she said, tugging his shirt from his pants. “I want to see more of this body.”
    Reed bent his head allowing her to remove the shirt with ease.
    She traced her fingers down either side of his ribs, over his tight abs. He was perfect. So fucking perfect.
    Unlike me.
    She pushed the thoughts out of her head. Tonight she wanted to be with Reed.
    Needed him.
    The tip of her finger circled his nipple, forming a hardened bud.
    Reaching for the bottle she dipped her finger into the contents. She licked it from her finger. “ Mmmm .”
    “Tease.”
    She smiled sucking on her finger.
    He tried pulling her close.
    “No. No. No.” She pushed against his hard chest. “This is my show.”
    He let out a deep breath. “If you insist.”
    Dipping her finger back in, she covered his nipple in the sweet liquid, then licked it off.
    He groaned.
    She repeated with the other one. She followed the line of hair that led deep into the confines of his pants where his god-like penis waited for her. Waiting to bring her glorious pleasure.
    “Lay back, big boy,” she instructed.
    “Here on the pool table?”
    “Why not?”
    He shrugged. “Damned if I
