tracing up the length of her legs to where her skirt
    ended high above her knees.

    Fine. It wouldn’t have met the Catholic Girls School Uniform Requirements but
    Missy was short and she needed help to make her legs look longer. At least that
    was her excuse and she was sticking to it.
    If she’d thought it through more she would have known this evening was going to
    be a bundle of dynamite waiting to detonate. Then she would have worn her
    baggy one-piece fleece hoodie that hung past her knees and a sloppy pair of
    sweat pants.
    Liar.
    She wouldn’t have. She wanted Tad to drool over her. It made something deep
    inside very satisfied to see the admiration and the fire in his eyes.
    She took a quick glance around. They would be safer sitting at the tall stools in
    front of the bar itself. Instead, Tad held her elbow and led her back toward a small
    booth tucked to one side of the bar. It was too late to protest, so she slid onto the
    soft leather upholstery behind the tiny table, her knees brushing Tad’s as he
    followed her.
    “What are you drinking tonight?” One of the servers stood waiting beside their
    table. Tad slipped his arm behind Missy, resting it along the back of the seat
    cushion, caressing her shoulders.
    She was going to die. She really was. “Do they have—?”
    “Sweetheart, first I’m gonna need to see some proof you’re of legal age,” the
    waitress interrupted.
    Tad chortled as Missy dug into her purse cussing under her breath. She handed
    over her photo ID and poked Tad in the ribs to get him to stop. It really wasn’t
    funny anymore.
    The waitress handed it back with a wink. “Our bartender can mix you any drink
    without looking it up. You name a drink he can’t produce and it’s on the house.”
    Missy glanced at the ceiling. She shouldn’t do this. Not with needing to keep

    control over her body around Tad.
    “What are you up to?” Tad teased with a squeeze to her shoulder.
    Electrical lust shot through her and her mouth went dry. To hell with it. A
    challenge was a challenge and she could use a stiff drink. She smiled at the
    waitress.
    “I’d like a Skip and Go Naked please.”
    Tad choked.
    The waitress winked at her. “No problem, sweetheart. Tad, what’ll it be for you
    tonight?”
    “Rum and Coke, please.”
    The waitress left and Missy watched as she made her way back to the bar. She
    put in their orders and the bartender’s head flicked in their direction. He lifted a
    hand and pointed at her, shaking his finger.
    “What’s a Skip and Go Naked, other than something that causes my heart to do
    double time?” Tad slipped his fingers over hers and Missy’s mind drifted. She was
    supposed to concentrate on…something. Tad’s beautiful brown eyes stared at her
    like she was the main dish at an all-you-can-eat dessert bar. Time slowed as she
    fell into the depths of his gaze. She leaned closer, his mouth inches away. If he’d
    ease a little more in her direction she be able to—
    “You tried to trick me with that one.” The bartender stood in front of them, a
    pale pink concoction in his hand. Missy made herself smile instead of baring her
    teeth at the man.
    Her hormones were becoming a serious issue tonight.
    “You thought if you missed the ‘Hop’ I wouldn’t know it. Hmmm? Well, you’ve
    got yourself one Skip and Go Naked. I left out the grenadine ’cause I figured that
    must be the hop.”

    Missy forced a laugh as she accepted the glass. “Actually, I’ve never heard of the
    Hop part. I’m glad you knew how to make one. It’s been a long time. Thank you.”
    He kissed her hand and strutted back to his bar, king of all he surveyed. Missy
    took a short sip of the sweet drink before glancing at Tad. His eyes were dark, his
    face intense as he glared after the bartender. Missy frowned. “Tad? You okay?”
    Tad shook his head like he was in a daze. “Sorry about that. I don’t like how that
    fellow leers and touches everyone.” He threw back half
