Starting over was not what Penny had thought she would be doing at forty-five. It was that or being trapped in a dead end relationship, and that was not where she wanted to be either.
Luckily for Penny, a do over was the right call. With a good looking young neighbor and his two handsome friends, Penny’s life is about to really get going.
A little tease:
As I carried a box from my car to the house, I suddenly felt as though I were being watched. I looked over at my new neighbor’s house and saw the curtains moving. A smile curved my lips. I guess whomever lived next door was checking out the new kid on the block. I chuckled to myself and wished they would come assist me with the last few boxes as I lugged the box up the stairs and set it on the porch railing. I was fumbling around for my house key when I heard a loud thud. I exhaled loudly, thankful that the box was full of books and not breakables.
“Can I give you a hand?” I heard a male voice and quickly turned to see a rather baby faced young man bend over to pick up a book.
“Umm, sure.” I said as I headed down the stairs. “It would be great if you could help me with a few boxes.” I smiled and began picking up books. “Apparently, I saved all the heavy boxes for last.”
“You must read a lot.” The young man said as he placed another book in the box.
“Yeah.” I said. “Well at least I used to. I don’t think these books have been out of the box in years.” I looked down and saw the book he was reaching for and I tried to grab it first but I was too slow.
The young man stared at the cover that included a woman in a rather compromising position, naked, tied up, with a man swatting her behind.
“Well this is embarrassing.” I said. I had forgotten about hiding my small but very naughty erotic book collection when I had moved in with Abe.
“I’ve seen worse.” The young man handed me the book as he scanned the other racy titles that had fallen out of the box. “My father has a collection of magazines that would make an adult actress blush.” He said.
Books picked up, the young man carried the box back up the stairs for me. I opened the door and he placed it on the table just inside.
“Want me to carry anything else for you?” he asked.
“Please.” I said then walked out to the car with him.
After he set the last of the boxes inside the house, he turned to leave. “Thanks so much.” I said. “I don’t believe I got your name.”
He smiled and put out his hand. “I’m Gage. I live next door.” He chuckled. “I’m the one you saw looking out the window.”
“Well thanks for all your help, Gage. My name is Penny and if there is ever anything I can do to repay you, let me know.” I shook his hand then watched as he walked down the stairs.
“Have a good night.” He said before going around the side of the house.
“You too.” I sighed and closed the door. I looked over at the box of erotic books and giggled. “What a way to meet the new neighbor’s son.”
I picked up a book and ran my hand over it. “This would be the perfect bedtime read.” I smiled and tossed it on the table. “But first I need to find a bottle of wine.”
