Before long, the blond uided her toward hiia tilted the binoculars upward, finding Colby’s face instead of focusing on the scene between the otherin his expression wasn’t what she expected There was heat in Colby’s eyes, interest for sure, but as she stared longer, she sensed a distance in those hazel depths Like he was there with them but otherseparate Alone

It probably was only because the other tere a couple Or s to ardless, it nition She didn’t knoas going on in his head Or how seeing his friends together made him feel But she knew loneliness And for those few seconds, she was convinced Colby did, too She pressed her fingertip against the cool glass of the , tracing the outline of Colby’s face Needing to touchso

The glass ht as well have been made of steel, the yards between the houses made of miles

But she couldn’t walk away The night went on and there she sat, watching the three loverscuffed to the headboard The two ues It was like watching a silent syia needed to see to know exactly how thesecaptive The s that had stirred earlier had quickly been surpassed by oneshot and restless, her panties going damp

When Colby braced hiia trained the binoculars on his face, unable to handle the i sex with another wo quite the ability to focus on the fantasy and block out the unwanted parts She only had a view of Colby’s profile, but she watched with rapt attention as his jaorked and his skin went slick with sweat instead of pool water

Without giving it too e to hold the binoculars steady and let her other hand drift doard Her cotton nightgown slid up her thighs easily So—sick and sad She had a perfectly functioning vibrator in her bedside drawer She had an i this, without watching the man next door screw another woive a daht now There was need And a solution Simple as that

As Colby’s lips parted with a sound she could only ie of her panties and slipped beneath the asp she uest bedrooined it was her he hispering passionate words to That deep Texas drawl telling her how good it felt to be inside her, how sexy she was, hoas going to make her come He would be a dirty talker, she had no doubt No sweet nothings from Colby Wilkes

She closed her eyes for a ers in the rhythuid strokes that had a fire building fro Her body was already singing with sensation, release hurtling toward her But she wouldn’t go over alone She forced her eyes open, the binoculars still in her grip, and found Colby again His dark hair was curling against his neck, sweat glistening at his temples He had to be close, too Every muscle in his shoulders and back had tensed All of her attention zeroed in on hiers ainst her, inside her

Everyfor the burst of energy to co in her ears And right as she was about to close her eyes and go over, Colby jerked his head to the side toward theHis heated gaze collided with hers through the binoculars—a dead-on eye lock that reached inside Georgia and flipped her inside out He knows

But she was too far gone for the shock to derail her Orgash her with a force that made the chair scrape back across the wood floor Shefro the strap around her neck The part in the curtains fell shut, but she didn’t notice Everything was too bright behind her eyelids, too good, to worry about anything else but the way she felt in those long seconds Enjoy Don’t think Just feel The words whispered through her as her fingers kept , her body detere

But, of course, the blissful, mindless moments couldn’t last forever Chilly reality own slipped back down her thighs and sweat cooled on her skin She sat there, staring at the closed curtain and listening to her thuaze had felt intense and knowing because the binoculars had made him seem so close But her as dark, her curtains darker, and the lass silow

But her chest felt like a hundred huainst her ribs She wet her lips and sed past the constriction in her throat She had to look Would her neighbor be striding over here to deusted? Ery?

God, she didn’t even want to think about it She wanted to turn around, go to her bedroom, and hide under the covers But that was all her life had turned into now—hiding And though she couldn’t fix that situation, she refused to create another one So she forced herself to lean forward and peel the curtains back onearound her neck

What she saw birds thrash more Colby wasn’t in the room anymore His friend was noith the woman in the bed, and both seemed totally absorbed in each other Did thatthis way to confront her? She was about to go downstairs to check the yard but then paused when she realized nothing had changed about the view Nothing at all If Colby had been concerned about a nosy neighbor, he hadn’t bothered to close the curtains or warn his friends Surely he would’ve done that

She sat there, debating and worrying, but soon Colby returned to the bedroom The man and woht clean towels in for everyone He didn’t look concerned He didn’t glance over at theHe seemed perfectly relaxed as he helped uncuff the woesture, and then left his friends to sleep alone

Georgia let out a long breath, sagging in the chair

He didn’t know

She should stop taking this risk—throay the binoculars, put a bookcase in front of this damn , and stop while she was ahead

But she knew she wouldn’t She would find herself here again
