Ben drove a fast muscle car and rode a bad-ass motorcycle. He was just too perfect, and moving in right next door to me.
Chapter 1
Madi
SummersinVirginiaarenot only hot but humid. I had eighties pop songs playing on my Bluetooth speaker while I sipped on my margarita at the poolside with my friend Carly. I was telling her about my night with Alex. I had a few hook-ups with him in the past few months. The sex was good but I always felt crappy about myself when I left his condo at midnight.
Carly huffed “Oh Madi. Alex has hooked you, hook line, and sinker. A booty call, that’s all it is. Then you feel bad about yourself when you leave his place. You deserve to be treated a lot better than that.”
“But he’s so charismatic, good-looking. And the sex is good.”
“Alex is a player. He doesn’t seem genuine to me at all. Why do you have to leave his place after he fucks you? He should let you sleep over, then make you coffee and breakfast in bed!”
I knew Carly was right. I was more introverted than all my girlfriends. I would much rather stay home all weekend and binge-watch Netflix shows or read a good book. Alex was the first guy that showed any interest in me. I’d been on a few blind dates, but it was either I wasn’t interested or they weren’t.
I sipped the last of my margarita and didn’t want to talk about Alex anymore. I climbed off my lounge. “Well, it doesn’t matter. I probably won’t hear from him for another month. I’ll go make us another round of drinks.”
I went into my house, to the kitchen, and blended the strawberry margaritas. When the blender shut off, I heard the loud sound of an old muscle car. I moved the curtain aside and looked out my kitchen window.
The car was black with white stripes on the hood and it was parked in the driveway at the house next to mine. My landlord had told me once that an elderly man used to live in the house, but I had never met him since I moved into mine six months ago. The driver of the car climbed out and walked to the front door. He had blond hair that was spiked and messy on top. He wore a grey tank top and I could see his muscular shoulders and tattooed arms. But I couldn’t see his eyes since he wore a pair of aviator-style shades. He had a chiseled jaw with a short-trimmed beard. As he walked, I got a glimpse of his ass.
“Wow," I whispered as my eyes followed his nice backside.
When he disappeared into the house, I dropped the curtain and went back to pouring the slushy margaritas into glasses for me and Carly.
I carried them out back to the pool and handed a cup to Carly. “Looks like I have a new neighbor.”
Carly sat up on the chaise lounge and pulled her glasses up onto her head “I heard the car. Is he hot?”
“He sure is.”
Carly was off the lounge. “I want a sneak-peek.”
