Pain can be pleasurable, but secrets never are. 

Troy Curtis knows pain; he lives with it day in and day out. The one thing that keeps his mind from being consumed by pain is his daily workouts. When he gets a new trainee at his gym, he wonders if his pain could be her pleasure.

Gold Falls needs to destress, and one way of doing that is working out with a group of other VIPs, where she meets Troy. She finds his gruff, trash-talking nature sexy and intriguing.

She senses more than sees there’s more to his bluster.

As he introduces her to his world of pain for pleasure, a secret he holds could sever their tender relationship.

“…and a creme brûlée,” the gruff voice was saying.

Gold gnawed her lower lip. Of all the bakeries he had to wheel into, he wheeled into her favorite one. She sidled a little closer and caught a whiff of man and sweat, along with a hint of something woodsy. His scent always made her a little giddy. The last person she expected to see this bright and early was Troy.

“Hey, Gold,” Avery greeted. “I’ll be with you in a minute.” As he spoke, Avery placed croissants and another pastry in a small box. “You want your usual?”

Troy swiveled in his chair, pinning her with liquid brown eyes filled with amusement. “Your usual?” he queried, with one eyebrow raised.

“They have these fantastic breakfast sandwiches,” she explained. Realizing what she was doing, she paused. “Not that you really want to know.”

He rolled closer before touching her hand, as he gazed into her face. “You look very pretty today.”

Gold gasped. Of all the things she thought he would say, telling her she was pretty was not one of them. “Um, thanks.” She stared at his hand on hers. Lean, strong fingers gave way to calloused palms. At least they would be calloused if they weren’t encased in fingerless gloves.

Avery stepped around the display case. “Here ya go, Troy.” He extended the bakery box.

“Thanks.” He reached for the box Avery held out. “You coming to class tomorrow?”

“Of course,” she answered quickly. “It’s why I can eat PB & J’s amazing breakfast sandwiches.” Face. Palm. How could she say something so lame? Here was a golden opportunity to flirt with the man she’d been crushin’ on for weeks, and all she could talk about was food.

Smiling, Troy set the box in his lap, waving away the change Avery offered. “Tip jar.”

Nodding, Avery returned to behind the counter, dumped the bills and coins into a gallon-size glass jar already half full of money.

“You’ve been working hard,” Troy said. “There’s nothing wrong with a little reward.”

He tapped the box in his lap. “See ya’ later.”

He wheeled out the door, another patron holding the glass as he left. Gold only stared, wondering again why she hadn’t said more.

“You want a hot chocolate to go with your sandwich?” Avery cut through her thoughts.

“Yeah. I think I will.” She glanced at the case. “Could you box up a couple dozen cookies too? I want to surprise my dad.”
