Payback's a Bitch

By Kacey Hammell

Race car driver Lark Stevens agrees to help a close friend prove that paybacks can be a bitch. But what she doesn’t expect is to fall in lust with her mark. Or is he who she thinks he is?

Set on her mission, Lark assumes the mystery man who amps up the heat and pushes her heart into overdrive is her intended target. And once they connect, getting even is the last thing on her mind.

As the heat smolders and revs from zero to sixty in mere seconds, Lark realizes she's on a crash course of emotion that no amount of braking will stop.

Get ready for no holds barred sexual teasing, dances meant to titillate and push you over the edge, and M/F love scenes to get engines revving.

Are you sure you’re okay doing this? It’s a lot to ask. You haven’t done this since college. Lark’s best friend and business partner, Eli, sounded tense on the other end of the phone.

You know this is for fun. Just a bit of payback for Aaron.

Yeah, yeah. I got it.

Lark strolled to her bedroom closet, eager to see a few of her favorite things. She slid the accordion door open, anchored her phone between her cheek and shoulder, and reached behind a wad of hanging clothes to retrieve a plastic garment bag.

As she unzipped it, she smiled at the exquisite silk and leather. She hadn’t worn the more risqué skirts and tops in her closet for a couple years. Not since her last boyfriend, who hadn’t appreciated the adventure in their sex life. But she loved wearing leather or spandex. The material slid along her skin, bolstering her confidence and sexiness. Her heart rate raced from zero to sixty in anticipation.

Just don’t hurt him. Eli’s gruff voice hinted at concern for his longtime friend, who was about to be punked.

Don’t worry. I’ll treat him like my Chevy Impala, and shift him gentle.

They both laughed.
