Chapter 31

Jared was going to make an idiot out of himself over his neighbour, he just knew it. She was young, pretty and refined. Jared was older, rougher and uglier. She was definitely out of his league. She was also an innocent. Maybe not a virgin, but close. He shouldn't touch her. He didn't fool himself into believing otherwise just because she was a phone sex operator.

His budding fascination with Amy was the reason he found himself in his garage the next morning at 4:30 AM, a sleepy scowl on his face as he searched for the companion helmet to his bike.

The evening before, as he was preparing to leave the house after meeting Amy’s family, he'd offered her a ride to work in the morning. She'd grinned at him and told him she had to be at her job by 5 AM. The whole idea of getting up that early for any reason was unholy to him and he was not a lazy man. Just a guy that liked his beauty sleep.
