Damn,mynewneighboris a fierce little thing.
Not bothering to turn on the lights, I chuck my bag on the floor and make my way over to the couch. Plopping down onto the soft cushions, I grab the eye mask behind me on the side table and cover my face. My temples are pounding, and I can feel a migraine coming on.
It’s like my body knows it’s time to transition between pre and regular seasons, so it’s not uncommon for me to have an episode this time of the year. I think not being home, in my own space, for weeks at a time increases my migraines.
This year, I didn’t stay with Cam and Talia during spring training. Their place was filled with Cam’s family and wedding stuff, which left me to find a new place to crash for the season. It all worked out. My sister got hitched in a beautiful cliff-side wedding, and I crashed with the single guys in my crew.
Sharing a house with Lance, Reed, and Blake was cool, but it wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be. Maybe I’m getting too old for roommates. I should invest in a piece of property for myself.
The sound of a distant patio door slamming shut captures my attention, leading me to recall the interaction with my new neighbor.
Savannah.
The name suits her. She’s even more gorgeous up close than she was from afar. I couldn’t help noticing how her amber eyes had flecks of orange and yellow that glowed like cat eyes when she glared at me.
And, fuck me, her curves were made for grabbing. A plump ass and full tits are my fucking favorite features on a woman.
Like fucking catnip.
I’m a rough lover, and I like the women I sleep with to have some meat on their bones. I need to know their bodies can handle me. I’m generally an ass man, but that doesn’t mean I discriminate. I’ve fucked women of all different body types. I just have a preference. Ass and tits.
And Savannah? She has both in spades.
When Talia said she wanted her friend to move in, I didn’t know it would be the woman from the parking lot. I haven’t decided if it’s a good or bad thing, since I want to fuck her.
My cock gets hard thinking about Savannah’s round ass and her thick lips as she gave me sass in the elevator. I’m not usually into chicks with little bratty attitudes, but there’s a first for everything.
I’d love to show her who was in charge. Bend her over my knee, spank her pussy until she was sopping wet, then tie her to my bed and fuck her until she passed out from all the orgasms I’d give her.
I must have dozed off to my dirty thoughts of a submissive Savannah because I’m jolted awake at the sound of the smoke alarm going off in the apartment next door.
It’s dark in the living room when I glance at the time on the microwave. Ten. I’ve been asleep for a few hours, and I can still sense the dull ache of my headache lingering at the base of my skull.
The alarm continues to blare.
What the fuck is she doing?
I force myself to get up off the couch and check on Savannah. The hall smells as if something is burning, but thankfully I don’t see smoke.
As I go to knock on her door, I can hear the sounds of pots and pans clattering to the floor, and Savannah cursing from the other side.
A zing I’ve never felt before rushes through me, and the urge to scan my finger on the thumb lock washes over me. I rein in the unexpected feeling and bang on the door instead.
“You okay in there?” I shout.
It takes only a few seconds before the door swings open, and a cloud of smoke billows out. Savannah coughs, waving her hand in her face. “I’m sorry. I fell asleep and forgot about the oven.”
I push past her and rush to the kitchen to find the oven propped open, and whatever she was trying to cook is on fire. I reach under the sink for the fire extinguisher I know is under there and pull the pin. Pointing the hose at the fire, I squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguishing agent and sweep the nozzle over the fire, putting out the flame.
“What the hell? Were you trying to burn down the building?” I shout over the deafening sound of the fire alarm.
She places her hands on her hips and scowls at me before shouting back. “Don’t yell at me. It was an accident.”
“Accident my ass. Who falls asleep with the oven on? Aren’t you a doctor?” I sound like such an asshole, but I can’t help barking at her. She could have been seriously hurt.
