Excerpt
There was a hand being slammed down on the bar by my foot. “One hundred fuckin’ dollars and I want her.” Gage yelled, pointing up at me.
Shit.
“What’ll it be, sir?” The makeshift bartender asked.
Gage looked me in eye and winked. “Tequila. Make it a double.”
Lydia yanked on my arm. “Lay down for that sexy paying customer. He just paid a hundred fucking dollars to lick alcohol off of you when we all know he could do that for free.”
Glaring at her, I said, “I have to pee.”
“Bullshit. Lie down and let him run his mouth over you.”
I could do this. I could play his little games just as good as he could. Taking a calming breath I sat so my legs were hanging over the edge of the bar, spread just enough for Gage to stand between them. Hooking my finger so he would come closer I pulled my bottom lip into my mouth. I knew exactly what that did to him. I heard him growl as I whispered, “You know what I like. You know how to use that tongue of yours. Make me earn that money, baby.”
I leaned back. His eyes were so dark they looked black. Sexy. His eyes were half lidded. He was turned on.
Gage pushed my shoulders back until I was flat on the bar. He lifted my shirt and watched as the bar tender sprinkled salt up my stomach. He looked at Gage, asking, “Mouth or breasts?”
Flicking his eyes to me, Gage answered, “Mouth.”
The bartender nodded and placed the lime in my mouth. He took the bottle of tequila and poured it into my belly button. I tried to keep from squirming. I failed. The way Gage was looking at me had me involuntarily rubbing my thighs together. Thus causing some of the alcohol to spill over and run down my sides.
“She’s all yours, sir.” The bartender said, stepping away.
Gage slowly ran his tongue across his top teeth. He bent over top of me. The moment his tongue hit my stomach I had to grip onto the bar to stop myself from running my hands through his hair. He circled my navel slowly, keeping his eyes locked on mine. I couldn’t watch him any longer. I pinched my eyes shut. He nipped just below my navel before sucking the alcohol up. Then his mouth was on mine. Not long enough. When his lips brushed mine he pulled back, the lime wedge in his mouth. What I wouldn’t give to be that lime.
What started out as me trying to turn him on ended up with my turned on, covered in alcohol, and him smirking before he walked away. Fucker!

Review
If you thought the love triangle between Jenna, Larkin and Gage was hot, you just wait till you get into the life of Gage and his many women. This book was gut-wrenching and I fell in love with every character in this book. Jenna and Larkin found their happily ever after but will Gage? Or will he have his whole life taken away from him?He is a big football star with the world in his hands, yet he feels empty and lonely. I think everyone will be able to relate to one or more situations in this book and feel that much closer to all the characters within it. This book had, sex, love, deceit and drama. Who doesn't love a book with all of this. It was awesome and I would recommend reading it. One of my favorite quotes from the book was "You were my heaven when my life was hell?" Will he win that special someone over with that sentence? Read and find out you won't regret it.
I give this book 5 stars. ~Jessica
