CHAPTER FOUR

DANE

A choked, feminine scream split the quiet summer evening air. My stomach clenched. That had sounded like pure terror. I met Lewis’s concerned gaze.

“That sounded close. Have you met your new neighbor yet?”

“No. She’s kept to herself. Wonder if I should check on her.”

I wiped my hands on the rag hanging out of my shorts pocket and walked to the fence separating our yards. I stretched up and looked over the top of the fence. I couldn’t see anything but the crystal blue water of her pool from that angle.

Bending down, I looked through a hole in the fence. A flash of golden hair and the faintest scent of coconut filled my senses a split second before an eye the color of warm, honey whiskey met mine.

She screamed again she stumbled backward before she dropped into her pool with a loud splash.

Cursing, I grabbed a lawn chair, set it against the fence, and looked back at Lewis.

“She fell into her pool. I’m going to see if she needs help.”

“Okay, man. We’re finished here, right? I’ll drop the hood and clean up.”

“Thanks, Lewis. I’ll be right back.”

Jumping the fence with the aid of the chair, I landed easily on my feet in her backyard. She was still finding her balance in the pool, but she wasn’t drowning, so I took a moment to look around.

Her backyard was simply decorated. A seating area with brightly colored cushions sat on a covered patio. Large green plants in pots dotted the edges of the concreted area. It looked comfortable and homey.

The woman in the pool began coughing and hacking, bent over into herself so I couldn’t see her face. My eyes tracked down her body. She was all curves packed into a petite frame with large breasts, a slender waist, and hips perfect for gripping as I pounded into her.

Jesus Christ. Had to shut that shit down. I didn’t even know her.

Despite my self-recrimination, I silently begged her to straighten up. I needed her to flip that sodden, gold hair back so I could see what her face looked like. I knew instinctively that it would be just as perfect as the rest of her body.

She slowly straightened, gathering her hair in her hands and wringing it out before tossing it back over her shoulders. Breath caught in my lungs as I got my first full look at her.

Wet hair hung in tangles nearly to her waist. Freckles dusted across a dainty nose, slightly turned up at the end. Her whiskey eyes were large and framed by thick lashes. She was gorgeous.

A flimsy white sundress was all that covered her. The fabric twisted around her upper thighs, showing off the toned length of her legs. The dark outline of her hard nipples poked clearly through the fabric. Goosebumps dotted every visible inch of skin. I had the sudden urge to see if they continued under her dress.

My dick twitched in my shorts. Images ran through my head of all the ways I could spread her out across the patio furniture or on the edge of the pool or bent over in the crisp grass, the smell of the earth filling our noses as I filled her sweet pussy.

The twitch in my shorts hardened to a length of steel. Fuck. There was no way I was hiding that. I couldn’t even try to discreetly adjust myself to make my arousal less obvious. I just had to hope she was too out of it to notice.
