TWISTED TWOSOME
From the first day I met Racer McKay, I knew our interaction was going to be incredibly brief. First impressions really do matter and unfortunately, I didn’t make a very good one.
At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I was never going to see this man again, right?
Wrong! When I’m met with the opportunity of a lifetime, there is only one man in the state of New York who can assist me. And can you guess who it is?
But what I don’t realize is he needs me just as much as I need him. I have money he’s desperate for, and he holds the key to making my dreams come true.
So, we reluctantly join forces.
Our pranks turn from sarcastic banter, to sexual tension and lust-filled glances. Bickering matches quickly morph into slow burn moments. We’re hot, we’re cold. We push and pull. I need him, I don’t want him. We’re on the verge of combusting with an agreement dangling dangerously between us. Neither one of us can afford to lose one another and yet, we’re finding it quite hard to decipher the line that rests between love and hate.
*Twisted Twosome is a stand alone romantic comedy.
Exceprt
“Thanks for lunch, I haven’t had a fine peanut butter and
jelly sandwich in quite some time.” Racer takes a giant bite from one of three
sandwiches I made him. The man can eat; I just want to know where he puts it
all. “What is this, crunchy peanut butter?” He looks over the sandwich,
studying it intently.
“Yes, it’s crunchy with mixed berry jam.”
He nods and takes another bite. He talks with his mouth
full, which for some weird reason makes him oddly adorable. “Nice touch,
George. The peanuts add a nice texture.”
“Are you going all food critic on my PB and J skills right
now?”
Lifting his shirt, he dabs away some of the sweat that’s
collecting on his forehead, beneath his backward hat. His abs flex with the
movement, drawing my attention. Each divot calling out to me to touch, to
examine . . . to lick.
“I think every human should be judged on their PB and J
skills.”
I pull my eyes away from his stomach just in time not to get
caught staring. “Why do you think that?”
“Because,” he takes another bite, “I think building a peanut
butter and jelly sandwich is in everyone’s repertoire, but only the truly
skilled know how to make a proper one. And I want to be friends with the truly
skilled.”
“Is that so?” I take a drink of my green tea and study him
for a second, watching the way the muscles in his jaw move with each bite and
swallow. It’s sexy.
His neck is sexy? Is that possible?
“So where do I land on your scale of sandwich artists?”
He smiles from my term, and I realize how much I adore his
boyish charm. Pulling his eyes away from me, he examines one of the sandwiches
I made him and starts assessing it. “Good ratio of peanut butter to jelly. Nice
choice in bread. The crunch you added has been a pleasant surprise, and the
mixed berry jam is fucking delightful.” I giggle from his girly term. “But . .
.”
I perk up; there’s a but? “But what?”
He quirks his mouth to the side, almost to say, “Sorry,
but you’re not quite perfect.” “The bread, it should have been
toasted. Toasting it would have taken you to boss level when it comes to the PB
and J.”
“Toasting it?”
He nods and takes another bite. “When you don’t toast a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich, the peanut butter and bread form a paste on
the roof of your mouth. Even though it tastes good, it can get quite
irritating.”
“But I didn’t have a toaster.”
“Rookie mistake.”
“Well, If I knew I was going to be critiqued, I would have
sprung for bacon.”
He pauses mid bite and stares at me over his sandwich.
“You’re a beast for bringing up the option.”
I polish off the rest of my sandwich and wipe my fingers.
“Well, maybe next time you’ll communicate expectations better. I’m not a mind
reader, Racer. Frankly, the fact I didn’t make boss level is on you, not me.”
I stand and gather my trash as he stares me down. “Don’t you
turn this on me. You didn’t have a toaster. The toaster is what’s key. This is
on you, Georgie. This is on you!” he calls out as I make my way to the back,
laughing to myself the entire time.
