Desiree was sleeping next to Lara, as the sun hurried toward the horizon. Signaling the start of a new day. The light filtered into the room, as the g...ow behind the trees slowly increased, Lara's eyes already adjusted to the lessening gloom of night. The room was warm and the covers had long since been kicked off of both of them. Lying on her back, one arm relaxed over her head, the other lay across her belly as she slept.Lara was laying on her right as she propped up her head on her left hand,. A shadow passed overhead before I could turn."Your lips were made for moonlight kisses." Against my ear, the words, spoken softly made my chest tighten. I spun around to face the stranger, a gasp caught in my throat. He was tall, muscular, and strikingly handsome from what I could see. Thick dark hair, vibrant green eyes, two-day stubble lined his jaw. A black mask to match my red one covered his face. My eyes roamed the perfectly tailored dark red silk shirt, and black pants that clung to his. They were doing well with both incomes but struggled when Fred was the only one who was working. It was hard to make ends meet with their high mortgage, car payments, bills and their children’s private school tuition.Katie was very worried about her loss of income and how it would affect her lifestyle. She had grown accustomed to very nice things. She loved shopping and she tried to cut back to make ends meet but when faced with purchasing a new purse from Louis Vuitton or paying their car. A Japanese waitress girl brought a beer andput it in front of me and pointed towards the bar where a big handsomeman with a naughty glimmer in his eye nodded at me."That's my cue." I said taking a swig of my new beer and standing up fromthe table and walked through the crowd and sat on the stool beside him.We locked eyes for a second and I looked away."I'm Cody." I'm Gabby." Hi Gabby. The bartender didn't know your brand so I just took a shot." I don't have a brand yet. Just started drinking.
