Lacey pulled in to her driveway, her whole body aching from a long day of meetings. Movement in her rear view mirror caught her attention and she watched a blond haired hunk jog past with his golden dog. She had seen him many times while jogging in the park and he’d been the star of many late-night fantasies. He was tall, handsome and quite the ladies man, according to her best friend Lex.
Wonder what it would feel like to have that hot body all wrapped around mine?
Shaking her head, Lacey made her way up the front walk. Turning her key in the lock, Lacey pushed her way in to her small Cape Cod home. As she flipped off her killer four inch heels and dropped her bags on the couch, she decided a quick jog might be a nice way to “bump” in to her handsome neighbor. Perhaps refresh her memory and create a new fantasy for tonight. Stretching her neck and letting out a whimper as the kinks released, she headed to her bedroom.
“Max! Where are you boy?”
Some guard dog he is. Lacey chuckled as her best friend, a black Labrador named Max, came bustling in from outside. She quickly stripped out of her work clothes and in to her jogging outfit. Tight pants and a short top, she was bound to catch his eye today.
Plugging her ear buds in, Lacey leashed Max and shut her front door and headed for the park. They walked quickly, warming up as Lacey quietly sang her favorite new Maroon 5 song. Max, of course, stopped for his usual greeting to the large elm tree at the corner and then the jogging began. Halfway down the path, Lacey noticed her shoe had come untied.
Fumbling with her laces, music blaring in her ears, Lacey was startled when a large pair of blue cross trainers suddenly appeared before her. Her eyes roamed upwards and followed the muscular calves up to thick thighs. A pair of black shorts barely hid the bulge just inches away from her head. She continued her gaze upwards as her heart started to race. Towering over her was the blond stud.
Lacey slowly stood up, pulling the buds out and realized he was smiling at her. Her eyes slowly drank in his beautiful body. He was a tall man, her head would barely reach his chin. His tanned skin glistened and her fingers twitched as she imagined running her hands over his broad shoulders and thick biceps down to his firm stomach.
A deep voice broke through her wayward thoughts and Lacey snapped her eyes up from his waistline.
“I asked if you were okay?” With a twinkle in his deep blue eyes and a devilish grin that flashed a bright white smile and revealed a small dimple, this Greek god stare in to her eyes.
“Oh. Sorry. I had my ear buds in and didn’t hear.” Lacey felt a heat in her cheeks that had nothing to do with her jogging and everything to do with the tingling sensation that was riding through her body.
“Good. Do you always jog this late? I’ve only seen you in the mornings.”
Lacey felt her palms getting sweaty. He’d seen her jogging? Was he jogging too? Geez, she’d have to pay more attention from now on.
“Oh, I had early meetings today, so I moved my run until I got home.” Lacey felt Max pulling on his leash but she couldn’t take her eyes off of the beautiful man before her. His dark blond hair stuck up at the top and the back was just below his ears. He had piercing blue eyes that crinkled in the corners as he smiled. His white t-shirt hugged tight to his body and she could see the lines of his six-pack. Again, her hands twitched, desperately wanting to touch his rock hard body.
“I’m Shawn Reed.” He offered out a hand to her as a crooked smile crossed his face. Her heart started thumping hard. A breeze crossed over them and Lacey took a deep breath, inhaling Shawn’s musky scent.
Glancing at his outstretched hand, she extended her own. “Lacey.”
An electric charge shot up her arm as their
