know about old man Peterson who lives two doors down?”
     
    “Possibly.” He grinned. “Okay, maybe I was checking you out. But I wasn’t sure if you were still with that Greg guy.”
     
    “He who must not be named. Please, I’d rather forget him. I guess…I am attracted to you, Jake. I really do want to be with you.”
     
    “You do?” he murmured leaning closer to her leaning her towards the granite counter top.
     
    “Yes, I do!”
     
    Jake’s glance slid down her silhouette admiring her form. He leaned in closer as he held her waist and whispered in her ear, his breath hot against her ears. Jody thought she would faint. “I think I’m in love with you.”
     
    “You are?” she said breathlessly gazing lovingly into his dark, sexy eyes.
     
    “No. I know I am from the first time you moved into the unit next door, Jody.”
     
    Jody felt her skin tingle under his warm touch as he caressed her neck with his warm lips moving closer up to hers. No one’s ever taken the time with her like this. She’d read about it in romance novels but she’d never experienced it before now. Yes, it was true, she’d read somewhere that a girl has to love a bad guy at least once or twice in her life to appreciate a good one. She really appreciated Jake. His touch, his warmth. The way he caressed her body and moaned into her skin as he took his sweet time cherishing every inch of her body. The way he showed her respect and treated her like…a lady.
     
    “You okay?”
     
    She nodded, dazed in pleasure.
     
    “I want you, baby. I need you, Jake.” She needed to be loved by this man who cared so much for her and apparently had for some time without her awareness.
     
           “You sure, you wanna do this now?” he murmured in a deep low voice nibbling on her ears which drove her insides wild. He gazed intently into her eyes then gently kissed her forehead and brought his lips down to kiss her nose, her lips and the base of her throat as she tilted her head back, moaning in pleasure.
     
           “Yes. Yes. Please…” she moaned. Excitement shot through her entire body.
     
    Jody bit down on her lip. She really wanted Jake now. And forever. Couldn’t they just pretend to be married forever!
     
    She shivered as his strong, yet tender, hands explored the hollows of her back. He radiated vitality that drew her like a magnet.
     
     “Oh, Jake….I….I’m so in love with you,” she moaned as his hands unfastened her blouse and her silky bra so smooth and fast, she hadn’t even noticed she was now bare. He was very good with his hands. He then aroused her nipples with his warm tongue circling each one. Jody moaned as waves of excitement rushed through her body. She held firmly to his strong, muscular arms and tilted her head back as she leaned on the kitchen counter.
     
    “God, I love you, Jody,” he moaned. “I never thought I could fall in love at first sight but I did when I first laid eyes on you.” His voice, silky and deep sending shivers through her belly. She felt his hardness pressing against her thighs and reached down to unfasten his pants exposing his silk boxers.
     
    “You did? Ohmygod, I fell in love with you , the first time I saw you…but…I guess it wasn’t the right time to come out and tell you.”
     
    He moved his lips back up to Jody’s lips devouring her sweetness, caressing her mouth in ways she’d never experienced before. She felt as if this were her first time. Ever. The stroking of his fingers sent pleasant jolts through her body and the moistness between her aching thighs needed him.
     
    He kissed her as if he hungered for her taste. She could no longer deny his touch as her body pulsated. She wanted all of him. Now. It was as if this was her wedding night—denied to her months ago. Her pretend husband, real lover.
     
    Before long, they’d moved almost choreographically towards his bedroom where he continued to pleasure her. His hands eased across her
