How Many Laws Have You Broken?


Excerpt from “Last Call”

Gavin lifted the bottle to his mouth, closed his eyes, and tipped his head back for a long, deep drink. Imagining him during sex with his eyes closed, head back, a similar look of ecstasy on his face made her break into a ferocious sweat.
“Damn, that’s good.”
I can only imagine how good it would be, she thought.
After a long pull that nearly polished the thing off, he set the bottle down with what could only be described as controlled calm. He stared at the bottle as he absently ran his thumb back and forth through the condensation.
Sunny followed the graceful stroke of his well-manicured thumb with rapt fascination. His hands were large, but he had a gentle touch. Watching him stroke the bottle, in the same soft, gentle sweeping motion he’d used on the magnolia blossom, sent her imagination and pulse into overdrive.
How would he stroke her? The confidence he emanated, as well as the intensity surrounding him, made her think having sex with him would be like wrestling a gentle alligator. What a deadly combination.
Coming out of his thoughts, he looked at her and said, “The troublesome triplets would like a pitcher of margaritas.” He clenched his jaw. “Strawberry.”
Questions bounced around in Sunny’s mind like kids on a trampoline. Why was he in Anticue, a little barrier island few people visited? Why did he bring three women… women he didn’t particularly seem to like, with him? If Sunny followed her body’s urge and went for it with this guy, would he shut her down as he had the brunette?
What did he look like naked?
She was more curious about some of the questions than others, but according to Bartender Handbook rule number one: Never ask personal questions. Rule number two: Never get involved with a customer. In nine years of tending bar, she’d never broken those rules.
So why did Gavin make her not only want to break those rules, but a few state laws, as well?


I got to thinking about this and wondered how many laws I’d broken in my lifetime. I mean, I don’t intentionally break laws (speeding doesn’t count, right?), but we all know there are so many crazy laws on the books we break them all the time without even realizing it.
I did some research and here’s what I found:

While having sex, you must stay in the missionary position and have the shades pulled. – North Carolina
If a man and a woman who aren’t married go to a hotel/motel and register themselves as married then, according to state law, they are legally married. – North Carolina
