And his kid.
I sigh and start across the driveway toward my best friend’s front door.
Nothing against his daughter, Kenny, but I’m tired, horny, and grouchy, and that’s not the ideal mood to be in to make a good first impression.
But I know Joe’s excited to have her living here, so I blow out a breath and work on adjusting my attitude.
I remember him saying something about roommates and stealing her money. And for how long we’ve been friends, it’s hard to believe I’ve never met her, but here we are.
Shrugging off the guilt of not knowing more about my friend’s kid, I stride up the few steps to the front porch.

I hearthe rumble of a vehicle outside as I shuffle down the hall to the bathroom.
Shit.
Hurrying, I step into the bathroom and shut the door behind me.
What is it with old men and showing up early?
I go through the motions of freshening up for the day as quickly as I can. After slapping on some tinted face sunscreen, scented body lotion, and deodorant, I pull my hair up into a short, bouncy ponytail.
As I’m brushing my teeth, I take in my reflection.
Neck up, I look good enough. Neck down, I’m in the same skimpy pajamas I wore the night I slept with Luther, which consists of a strappy tank—that does nothing to support the tits—and matching shorts.
When I turn my electric toothbrush off, I swear I can hear voices.
Double shit.
I need to get back down to my bedroom before anyone sees me.
If I were thinking, I would’ve brought a change of clothes with me. But I wasn’t thinking.
Because it’s Saturday morning. And I should still be in bed.
Taking a deep inhale, I open the door.

“Kenny should beout of her room soon,” Joe says as he picks up the full carafe of coffee and starts to fill the trio of mugs set out on the counter.
“Kay. I’m gonna hit the head quick.”
Joe hums, showing he heard me, as I walk farther into the living space.
I turn down the hall, and I’m two paces away from the bathroom when the door opens.

I step into the hallway,and a shadow falls over me as I nearly crash into a body.
