Raven Elliot blasts
into town like a wrecking ball—striking and devastating.
With a few simple words, my reliable routine crumbles to dust.
“Is this seat
taken?”

I could close my
eyes and let her voice wrap around me like a lover’s caress.

But this isn’t that kind of story.
And I’m sure as hell not that kind of man.
She hovers in my
space, batting her lashes and smiling shyly.

The glimmer in her sapphire eyes is a promise of peace.
But I’m not falling for it.
And Raven doesn't take the hint.
What starts as a
battle of wills, explodes into a turf war.

She stands directly in my path everywhere I turn.
No matter how hard I shove, she won’t budge.
Raven seems dead set on driving me insane.
But I was here first.
And I’m not going down easy.
After all, no one
ever taught me how to treat a lady.

“Listen,
babe—”

She holds
up her hand like a stop sign and for some reason, having her interrupt doesn’t
bother me.

“Sure did,
sweetheart. Call ‘em like I see ‘em. Don’t pretend to be offended. We both know
why you’re over here talking to me.”

for real? What the hell is wrong with you?”

I mean, seriously? I want to sit down and this is the only available spot. You

Her
ridiculous question doesn’t deserve a response. My glare matches hers as I
silently explain my opinion on the matter. My expression must tell her
everything she needs to know.

you’re an asshole.”

“Aw, poor
baby. I’d hate to dent your fragile ego,” she snips with a curl in her lip.

“There’s
nothing fragile about me. Don’t worry. I’m hard and solid. Wanna feel?” I ask
and pat my abs.

I lean
against the bar and cross my arms. “I don’t get many complaints. You’re not
from around here, so I’ll fill you in—the ladies love me.”

“Hardly,”

I smirk
before checking out her rack, being extremely obvious about it. Pushing her
buttons takes away the tension from earlier, replacing it with a surprising
ease. Fighting with her is the most nonsexual fun I’ve had with a woman in a
long time. Wonder how she’d react if I called her ma’am.

“All right,
all right. You’ve broken me down. I was set on not having any company tonight,
but for you, I’ll make an exception. If you insist on standing here, blabbing
away, I’ve got far better uses for that luscious mouth. My place isn’t too far
away,” I suggest while waggling my brows. My behavior is over the top, but what
can I say? She’s bringing out the best in me.

Her lips
part in shock. This stranger just stares at me, and I’m sure she’s about to
turn away… or slap me. Either way, mission accomplished.
