"Naughty in Leather": Blurb
A gang is shoplifting from the mall and
this day they rob Rhonda’s store, Luxurious Leatherwork. When Scott and Ty come
to the store and ask her out to dinner yet again, this time she says yes. She’s
decided she wants to see if there’s potential for a three-way relationship.
Dinner is wonderful, and sex with the two men even better.
A few days later the gang attacks the
jeweler’s window with metal bars. Ty and Scott are terrified for Rhonda and
determined to look after her. The men take her home and love her that night,
wanting her to know how deeply they care for her.
Ty is offered a promotion at work, but it
involves some travel and moving to a new apartment. He’s worried that it will
ruin their new relationship, and the gang situation is still not solved.
Can a relationship such as theirs survive?
Story Excerpt
Rhonda turned to look at the doorway when
all hell broke loose. A group of teenagers ran past her store into the heart of
the mall, carrying what looked like metal bars or long wrenches. She grabbed
her paintball and hurried to the doorway, glad for once that she had no
customers in the shop. There was the sound of glass breaking, an alarm started
to wail, and screams came from farther into the mall. Rhonda could see the kids
had smashed the jeweler’s window and were grabbing stuff from the display.
She pulled the metal grill over her doorway
and locked it, glad she always wore the key on a wristband while she was at
work. Paintball in hand, she stood outside her store and watched. Sue the
florist was taking photos, or maybe video, of the kids on her cell phone. Ted
and one of the other security guards ran up, and pulled the boys away from the
window. The kids lashed out with their weapons and one guard fell to the
ground. Two customers joined in the affray, subduing one of the kids and taking
his weapon from him.
Sue’s assistant hit another kid on the head
with a bucket full of flowers and water. When he fell to the ground she sat on
his back. The two kids Rhonda had first noticed turned to run. One was coming
straight at her, so Rhonda threw the paintball at him, getting him in the
center of the chest. It seemed to upset him and he slowed enough so that she
could tackle him to the ground. Taking a lesson from Sue’s helper, she sat on
his back, keeping him flat on the floor, even though he tried bouncing his back
and butt to get her off.
Customers, the other security guard, and
staff were chasing the few remaining teenagers, when the police arrived with
sirens and guns. With the loud crack of a warning shot being fired, there was
instant silence. Rhonda sat on the back of the kid, who was no longer trying to
throw her off, until a police officer came to cuff him. Only then did she
notice paramedics wheeling the elderly jeweler out on a gurney, and bandaging
Ted’s head.
Rhonda glared at the kid. “If the jeweler
dies you’ll be in jail for the rest of your life. I hope you think a few pieces
of jewelry were worth it,” she said.
