I want to check out my new living quarters for the next three weeks!

I know from the photos that most everything, besides a sitting room and a deck, is on the first floor.

There’s a bit of a circular flow from the entry area, so I decide to hit the rooms from left to right.

I start with the dining area, and then it’s on to the kitchen.

I spend a few minutes checking to verify that everything is stocked as I was told it would be.

It is, so that’s good.

I proceed to the three bedrooms in the back, taking a super-quick peek into each.

Funny thing, though, is that in the master bedroom, it smells all spicy and soapy, like someone took a shower recently.

That can’t be.

Shrugging, I just close the door and figure it must be one of those plug-in air fresheners or something along those lines.

“Yeah, it has to be that. You’re the only one here, silly,” I admonish myself as I walk toward the final downstairs area to check out—the living room.

But after I take no more than two steps into that space, I let out a gasp.

Holy hell, there is a man sleeping over on the sofa with his back toward me.

I’m equal parts terrified and angry.

What is this guy doing inmyfreaking rental?

Is he a worker who forgot to leave?

Is he a squatter?

Is he the one who took a shower?

“What the fuck is going on here?” I mutter.

The strange man stirs from the sound of my voice, but he doesn’t wake up.

My heart is racing, but I’m frozen in place.

Should I run?

I mean, after all, the dude is wearing nothing but freaking boxer briefs!

I could be in danger.

But even in my state of freaking out, I can’t help but notice how nice and taut his ass looks in those boxers.

Oooh, and his back and shoulders are all pure, lean muscle. One thing’s for certain: This guy sure is built.

I wonder what his face looks like.

Since his back is toward me, all I can see is his mussed-up reddish-brown hair.

And that great body.

But nice bod or not, he has some explaining to do.
