Sins of the Past (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

someone today.”
    Jacob just about swallowed his tongue to keep from laughing as he heard his neighbor shouting from somewhere inside her house. He didn’t know if she meant for whoever was at the door to hear her or not, but he had a feeling his feisty neighbor didn’t care either way. He could hear her stomping as she neared the door and wondered if his decision to knock was a good idea. He had battled with himself all day on whether or not to come over and introduce himself. Jacob knew it was just an excuse to meet her, but he couldn’t get her out of his head. Finally, when he couldn’t take it anymore, he gathered his crutches and hopped himself across the street.
    He just hoped she didn’t think his profuse sweating and lack of breath was weird. The crutches he was forced to use were, in his opinion, someone’s sick idea of torture. Jacob had no idea armpits could even get sore until he had to use the things. Now, the pain in his pits fought a constant battle with his knee to see which could hurt the most. At the moment, he couldn’t say which was winning.
    “Can I help you?”
    The icy greeting snapped Jacob out of his thoughts. The way his neighbor was frowning at him led him to believe it hadn’t been the first time she had asked the question. His intentions of making a good first impression were going up in flames and he hadn’t even gotten a word out yet.
    “Umm… Hi, I’m Ja—” He thrust his hand out in front of him as he began to introduce himself. Unfortunately, the introduction was cut short when he felt himself becoming off balance as his crutch that he had foolishly let go of slipped out from under his arm and fell to the ground. It seemed like the world decided to make him the butt of one huge joke when he leaned forward to pick it up at the exact same moment his neighbor did. Not only did he hear the sickening crunch, but he felt it as his forehead collided with her nose on the way down.
    “Owww! Fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh shit! That hurt!” His new neighbor wailed as she hopped up and down holding her nose.
    Jacob saw the blood trickling through her fingers and running down her arms. He had every intention of helping her and apologizing profusely, but he stood rooted to the porch frozen at the sight before him. His brain and body seemed to shut down leaving only his eyes working perfectly fine. The towel his neighbor had been wearing didn’t make it past the first couple of jumps before hitting the floor. The woman was completely bare and Jacob was mesmerized at the site of all of her curves and her breasts bouncing up and down. The view of them bare was way better than the glimpse he had gotten earlier through her wet shirt. I’m going to hell.
    “What the hell is wrong with you? Did you come over here just to assault me or did you actually want something?”
    Her nasally, pissed-off tone did nothing to calm the erection that was currently causing his jeans to tighten. Either she hadn’t yet realized her towel had fallen off or she was too pissed off to care at the moment.
    “I…uh…” Jacob swallowed, trying to get a little moisture back into his dry mouth. He was a trained killer for Christ’s sake, but at the moment he felt like a bumbling teenager all over again. He raised his hand to help her, but stopped midair not knowing if she would welcome his touch. Making a decision, he leaned down and picked up his crutch and her towel at the same time. Once he had his crutch safely back under his arm, Jacob stepped into the house and held up the towel for his neighbor to take. He saw the expression in her face change the instant she realized what he was holding, but instead of doing the obvious and snatching the towel away from him to cover up, the little spitfire held the towel up to her nose. With one last glare at him, she turned and headed down her hall, leaving him standing in her doorway.
    The view of her rounded bottom swaying as she casually walked away had Jacob groaning. He had no doubt that view would star in his fantasies for a while to come. His cock jumped at the thought and Jacob had to reach down and adjust his pants for fear that he would have a permanent zipper imprint on his cock if his erection grew any more. There was just something about his neighbor that turned him on. He didn’t even know her name, but he definitely wanted to get to know her.
    Feeling awkward just standing in her doorway, Jacob eased the front door closed and made his way over to her
