that also
ended with him on the floor clutching his family jewels.   Yeah, he had misread that situation.
    A few months later, he
sold his house because it was too big for only him.   He had purchased the penthouse in the Spire
building.   Sometimes he loved the way
destiny intervened.   The best part was
she had no idea she was moving into his building.  
    “9 th floor.”   She mumbled as she continued to tape the
boxes.  
    Five floors under his
own.   “Should I start taking these boxes
in the living room to make life easier for the movers?”  
    “Fine.   The boxes with the pink duct tape are
mine.   The ones with the yellow duct tape
are Roni’s.”   She was always so
organized.  
    He picked up a couple
of boxes, including the one with her panties in it, taking them into the living
room.   A shit eating grin on his
face.  

Chapter Seven
    Izzy and Roni had
hugged and cried all over each other, while Derek and Alex rolled their eyes,
before taking off to their separate places.   She wiped her tears as she pulled into her new assigned spot in the
Spire building garage.  
    The moving truck would
be along in a few minutes, she had just enough time to get upstairs to open the
door for them.   Walking around her car to
the trunk, she pulled a few boxes out.   “Guess I made it here just in time to help.”   Alex’s sensual baritone voice called from
behind her.  
    I
will not succumb to his sexy voice.   I
will not succumb to his sexy voice.   This had become Izzy’s mantra over the last
few months.  
    “I got it.”   She picked up two boxes and stumbled
backward.   Of course, Alex’s large arms
were there to catch her.  
    His laugh rumbled
through his chest.   “I don’t think you do.   Come on, let me help.   You don’t even have to be nice to me.”  
    Turning in his arms,
she shoved the boxes at him.   “As long as
I don’t have to play nice, you can help all you want.”
    “Not today you
don’t.   But someday you will.”   Alex bent over and whispered in her ear
before brushing past her.  
    She shook off the heat building
within her with every word he spoke.   She
would not give in to temptation.   The
only defense she had against his charm was being a complete and total
bitch.   Luckily for her, he also brought
out that part of her personality with his arrogant playboy attitude.  
    Putting her bitch armor
firmly in place she moved ahead of him, mainly so she was no longer tempted to
stare at his perfectly sculpted ass.   Walking
to the main entrance of the building off the parking garage, she held the door
open for Alex.  
    “Look at you being nice
to me.” Alex said with a wink as he walked past her.  
    It took everything in
Izzy not to put her foot out to trip Alex.   Her mind immediately went from fantasying about getting Alex into bed,
to new and untraceable ways of murdering him. Had he not been carrying boxes of
her items, that would break if he fell on them she would have tripped him.  
      They walked to the marble laden lobby.   “Hold on, let me grab the key.”   Izzy went into the office to grab the key to
her new apartment and sign a few random rent agreements.   Within five minutes she was back with Alex.   “The elevators are straight ahead.”   She led the way, passing the kindly older man
who manned the security desk, whom she had met when she came to see the
apartment.   “Hello, Mr. Guzman.”
    The man smiled brightly
at her.   “Welcome to the Spire, Ms.
Newport.   I would offer to help you with
your boxes, but I see you have Mr. Porter’s help already.”  
    “Mr. Porter?   You know him?”   She pointed with her thumb over her shoulder towards
Alex.   Before the older man could answer
she was in Alex’s face.   “You must be
here often if Mr. Guzman knows you.   So
tell me how many of your girlfriends do I need to avoid in the building’s gym on a daily basis?”  
    A slow sexy smile
spread across his face.
