“What?” He chuckled.
“How do you know my name?” I repeated.
“Because we’ve lived side-by-side for three years.”
I crossed my arms over my chest. “But we’ve never said more than hello to each other.”
“Do you know mine?” he asked.
I snorted. “Kinda hard not to when the women scream it nightly.”
“Does it turn you on?”
“I… What is this?” I asked, moving my hand back and forth between us.
Sam placed a hand on the doorjamb then moved in closer as he whispered, “You weren’t sleeping, and are dressed only in a black robe, which leads me to believe hearing me fucking a chick was turning you on. So I want to know if you want to join us.”
“But when you came over here, you didn’t know I was only in a robe andnotsleeping,” I corrected.
With his free hand, he ran his fingers along the silk collar of my robe. “I’ve seen how your eyes drop when you see me, and a tint of red spreads across your cheeks. I know you want me, and I figured hearing me turns you on. I want to get you in my bed.”
I stepped back, and his hand fell away from my clothes. “You think that I’d want to share you?”
Sam cracked another smile. “Have you ever had a threesome?”
“That’s none of your business.”
“That’s a no. In that case, I’ll kick Nikki out and it can just be us.”
What the hell was happening?“I’ll pass,” I stated, and reached for my door to close it.
Sam grabbed it. “You sure?”
I was starting to realize that my fantasy with this jerk was only that—afantasy. He wasn’t who I thought he was. I mean, he did sleep with a lot of women, but I just thought…
I thought he’d one day realize the girl he wanted lived next door to him.
I was totally a loser.
“I’m not into that.”
He smiled again. “Into what?”
I waved my hand in the direction of his condo. “Being another notch on your bedpost.”
He laughed. “Peyton, we’ve been neighbors for a while. Iknowyou want to be another notch, and I’m giving you the chance.”
“You’re such an asshole.”
“But you’ve thought about it, right?” he asked, totally ignoring the fact I was pissed and had just called him an asshole.
Not wanting to give him even more of a bigger head, I said, “I thought that you were a nice guy.”
“I am a nice guy. When I want something, I go after it. Doesn’t mean I’m an asshole.”
I crossed my arms over my chest again. “Why now? Why are you willing to kick that poor girl out?”
“When you banged on my wall, I realized that I could be fuckingyou, so I came over here to get you. Nikki is down for whatever. If I can only have you alone, then I’ll kick her out.”
