Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n<p>An all night quaint little coffee house is about to be anything but quaint as the workers and customers find better reasons than coffee to stay up late. A mysterious man is stopping by for a visit, a man readers may recognize, but only by the striking green of his eyes. This man has struck before, taking what he wanted and leaving businesses in chaos but this time he merely has a craving that needs to be filled.<\/p>\n<p>The man whose eyes see more than just the outside of an individual only wants a tasty milkshake. Unfortunately for the baristas at Moonlit Coffee, they mistakenly believe that they don&#8217;t possess the equipment needed to provide him with his craving. After waiting in line and seeing how lacking in service these two attractive coeds are, he decides to change his tactics from the previous uses of his unique talent.<\/p>\n<p>In the past and more frequently, the man only uses those he needs as a distraction, looking into their thoughts and seeing the real purpose they can serve, changing them into someone who enjoys a little public attention and who quite possibly has a particular craving that surpasses his own on this night. This time, he&#8217;s not looking for a distraction to take attention off him. This time the distraction will be for his own entertainment while he awaits his milkshake from the baristas.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel Chin, the exotic asian barista with long flowing silky hair over smooth milk-white skin, and Jillian, the vibrant spunky redheaded barista will discover they not only have all the equipment needed to give him his milkshake, but they will need to upgrade that equipment, enhance it to provide much better volume. As they go about some true job growth, the man turns his eyes on the late-night crowd, adding spice to their coffee that they didn&#8217;t order and twisting their bad qualities into entertaining ones.<\/p>\n<p>For those at the Moonlit Coffee, not far from the interstate, it&#8217;s about to be a very long night. What will happen to the older teen girls who giggle and tease with their short skirts and flat little tummies? What will become of the chunky man who likes to do all the talking for his incredibly attractive wife? What about the high society couple that looks down on such crude behavior and has let intelligence turn them into snobs? Finally, will the man with the green eyes settle those eyes on the milkshake he stopped by for and if so, whose equipment turns out the better product, Rachel&#8217;s or Jillian&#8217;s?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/275172\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Smashwords now!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00B1MQZV4\" target=\"_blank\">Find it on Amazon now!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since the last Kreme Readers&#8217; Choice Story was released&#8230; Well, it&#8217;s time to start Shaking Things Up! 2013 has begun, and the Kreme is delivering fresh tasty treats with all of the toppings!
