I blinked, frozen in the doorway. Staring at my wife, who, it turned out, lived behind me.

“My alarm goes off at five. It never used to be exciting, such an early wake up, until my new naked neighbor moved in. Until every morning, he’d walk around making coffee and talking on the phone.”

Holy shit. I never really thought about anyone seeing me. My apartment in Denver was twenty floors up.

“You saw me?”

“You’re a billionaire but won’t pay for blinds. My win. I saw every inch. Although it’s too far away to see the mole on your ass. Let me check again.”

I smiled and flipped on the light switch. I could still see her and now she could see me as well. Naked. And hard. For her.

“You watched me,” I said.

“Just like you watched me in the cam room.”

“That’s why you looked so surprised when you first saw me at the bar.”

“Yeah. I recognized you, even in clothes.” She paused. “Silas, I’ve always wanted you, from the first time I laid eyes on you. When I didn’t know you as more than my new naked neighbor.”

“Fuck, kitten. I always wanted you, too.”

“Good. Never forget it’s your fault, this view I have right now, that made me want you for your dick.”

I glanced down at how fucking hard I was for her. I laughed, then laughed some more.

“Get your ass back over here, kitten, and you can have all the dick you want.”

“Always?”

“Always.”

EPILOGUE

DANIEL

Using my shoulder,I pushed through the door and into the office, my hands full.

“You love gossip, Ang,” I said. “News at Steaming Hotties is that the Hunters–not the owner of the mountain, but the other ones–filed for bankruptcy, their house was repossessed by the bank and they relocated during the night to Florida for the guy to take a job at a golf course.”

I set the office manager’s coffee on her desk.

She eyed me, listening to my words, but not with the usual glee for small town tea spilling. I didn’t give a shit about the crazy antics of others, but I figured for once, I could get the edge on her with some juicy info.

“Gambling. Can you believe it?” I added.

She humphed. “There’s other ways to gamble,” she muttered and I frowned.

Usually, she was as fiery as her red hair and always knew the local news before me.

“What? Did I ruin it for you?” I asked, taking a sip of my black coffee.

“I think you ruined it for yourself.”

“What the hell does that mean? I don’t even know the Hunters. I know Eve, of course.” I raised my to-go cup with the Steaming Hotties logo on the side. “And that’s not the exciting part. I guess Eve’s ex is going to jail.”

I waited for Ang to react, but she didn’t. “What’s up with you this morning?”

Her eyes widened behind her reading glasses. “Me? I think you have more important things to worry about than other people’s problems.”
