Excerpt

Then I heard a pounding on the front door, which I had left propped open.“Is anyone home?” called out a male voice.I went over to the door and opened it fully. I could feel my mouth drop open when I saw theguy standing at my threshold. He was bare-chested, wearing just swim trucks and flip flops. And,oh what a wonderful chest it was, six-packed and bronzed from the sun. The guy was about sixfeet tall; muscular and toned. When I could finally steal my gaze from his magnificent physique,I looked into smoldering brown eyes and my breath was momentarily stolen from my body.His dark hair was messy and damp. That’s when I noticed he also had a bit of sand on his broadshoulders. I guessed he was one of the surfer boys, as Hans called them, who lived next door.The gorgeous guy gave me a titled half smile that showed off a sexy dimple in his cheek. Theman was clearly the whole package and he definitely knew it. He carried himself like he ownedthe world. He could easily own any girl with the dimple alone.Any girl, except me, of course.It would be a very long time before I was interested in any involvement with the oppositesex. My heart was still broken into a million little pieces from my messy break-up with Jeff.“Just move in?” Mr. Whole Package said.“Is it that obvious?” I quipped.“The moving truck out front kind of gave it away,” he said. He held out a hand. “I’m Eddie. Ilive next door.”I stared at his hand for a second, wondering how rude it would look if I didn’t shake it. A bigpart of me was scared to even touch him. Finally, I just thought fuck it and grabbed his hand.Oh, God. What a HUGE mistake.Why hadn’t I listened to my inner, obviously much smarter voice, which warned me not totouch him? His grip was firm and his hands were rougher than I had imagined they would be;but what got me were his eyes. As he held my hand, I was captivated by the intensity of his fierystare. I nearly drowned in the cascade of shivers that flooded my body.Eddie had game and knew exactly how to use it. Shit.“I’m Lexie,” I said as I quickly removed my hand from his grasp.He arched an eyebrow. “Short for something?”“Alexandria.”“Pretty name.”I smiled. “Well, I’ve got a lot of work to do.” I wanted him to leave. He was making menervous. He was making me feel things I didn’t want to feel. A lot of things I didn’t want to feel.All the things I was trying to escape by moving to Florida.“Need help carrying in the rest of your stuff?” he offered. It was tempting, but it also meantspending more time with him, which might put us near the danger zone.
When I moved to Florida, I decided that I would put up an invisible sign: Slow No Wake.I didn’t want any waves or any drama. I had had enough of that in Illinois. Men usually causedwaves and Eddie definitely seemed like the heavy wake kind of guy. I needed him gone asquickly as possible. I had a foot in dangerous waters and I didn’t want to get swept up in the tide.“Hans said he would give me a hand with the furniture,” I said.Eddie leaned in very close, like he was going to tell me a secret. I could feel his breath on myneck and it made me shiver a bit. What was that I had just said about the no wake zone? Eddiewas already causing a lot of waves. “I would watch out for Hans,” he whispered. “He’s kind of aperv.”Hans did not seem like a perv to me but I hadn’t spent much time with him. “He’s oldenough to be my father,” I said with a bit of skepticism in my voice.Eddie shrugged. “Suit yourself.” He turned away from me. “But have you seen his girlfriendyet? She’s at least five years younger than us.”“Wait,” I said.Eddie turned around and grinned at me. “Change your mind?”I nodded.Eddie rested his arm on the doorframe right above me and leaned in close. He smelled likesuntan oil with a hint of saltwater and sweat. “I’m happy to help you in any way I can. All youhave to do is ask.”His words were laced with so much innuendo and sexuality, I found it difficult to swallow.“Thanks,” was all I was able to mutter.Then he turned and headed for the truck. I followed and in that moment, I felt like I wouldhave followed him anywhere.
