Grease and Temptation

Chapter 1: Sparks in the Garage

The garage smelled of oil and metal, a familiar tang that clung to Adamarie’s skin as she bent over the hood of a beat-up Chevy. Her light brown hair was pulled into a messy bun, strands sticking to her sweat-damp neck, and her tanned hands moved with precision over the engine. At thirty, she was the backbone of her father’s shop, a mother and wife who knew her way around a wrench better than most men. Her small breasts pressed against her tight tank top, and her round ass filled out her jeans as she worked, unaware of the hungry eyes watching her from across the room.

Mike, the new mechanic, leaned against a toolbox, all cocky grin and youthful arrogance. At twenty, he was a walking hormone, a womanizer who’d already charmed half the women in town. His dark hair fell into his eyes, and his grease-streaked forearms flexed as he twirled a rag, staring at Adamarie like she was a prize to be won.

'Damn, Ada, you make fixing cars look like a damn art form,' he drawled, his voice dripping with suggestion. 'Bet you could fix more than just engines with those hands.'

Adamarie didn’t even look up, her brown eyes narrowing as she tightened a bolt. 'Mike, if I wanted your opinion, I’d ask for it. Which I won’t. Ever. So how about you do your job instead of running your mouth?'

He chuckled, stepping closer, the scent of his cologne mixing with the garage’s grit. 'Oh, come on, darlin’. I’m just admiring the view. You can’t blame a guy for appreciating a fine piece of—'

'Finish that sentence, and I’ll shove this wrench so far up your ass you’ll taste metal,' she snapped, finally straightening to glare at him. Her tone was sharp, her stance unyielding. She wasn’t some damsel to be flirted with; she was a woman who’d built her life on loyalty and grit. Her husband, Tom, was her rock, and no pretty boy was going to shake that.

Mike raised his hands in mock surrender, but his smirk didn’t falter. 'Feisty. I like that. Bet you’re a wildcat under all that grease.'

'Bet you’re a disappointment under all that talk,' she fired back, wiping her hands on a rag and brushing past him, her hip grazing his just enough to make him suck in a breath. She didn’t mean to tease, but damn if it didn’t feel good to put him in his place.

Hours later, the garage was empty, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows through the open bay doors. Adamarie’s heart pounded as she found herself pressed against the wall, Mike’s hard body pinning her there. How the hell had this happened? One minute, she’d been chewing him out for slacking off, the next, his lips were on hers, hungry and insistent, and her traitorous body was responding. Her mind screamed at her—Tom, her vows, her life—but her pussy was wet, dripping with a need she hadn’t felt in years.

'Fuck, Ada, you’re so damn hot,' Mike growled against her neck, his hands gripping her round ass, pulling her closer. His cock was hard through his jeans, pressing into her thigh, and she hated how much she wanted it.

'Mike, we can’t—' she started, but her voice broke as his fingers slipped under her tank top, brushing her skin. She was sweating, panting, her resolve crumbling under the heat of his touch. How had she let this horny little shit get under her skin? She was stronger than this, damn it.

'Tell me to stop,' he challenged, his breath hot against her ear, 'and I will. But you don’t want me to, do you?'

Her silence was her answer, and as his hand slid down to cup her through her jeans, she knew she was in deep. Too deep.
