  HOT NEIGHBOR

  The girl next door has never looked so tempting...

  When Landon moves to LA, he isn't looking for anything more than a fresh start and the chance to get more hands-on as a physical trainer for his celebrity clients.

  But the second he sets eyes on the dark haired beauty watching him from her window, the only thought in his mind is how he can get his hands on her as soon as possible.

  Elena finds herself equally enraptured by the dark haired stranger whose blue eyes seem to pierce straight into her soul, and their first meeting leaves her electrified and wanting more.

  Elena's father, on the other hand, is less than thrilled by the sparks flying between Landon and 21-year-old Elena and isn't afraid to show it.

  Torn between this new, magnetic attraction and her devotion to her father, Elena is at war with herself. When she's with Landon, everything seems so clear -- the rest of the world doesn't matter.

  But she can't keep walking this tightrope forever…

  While Landon wants nothing more than to spirit Elena away from the suffocating 'rules' that keep them apart, he doesn't want to make her choose between her family or him -- although he's never been a patient man.

  He's also never felt this way for anyone before, and the spell Elena has over him is captivating and unfamiliar all at once.

  When tensions rise to a breaking point between Elena's father and the enamored couple, she'll find herself faced with inner turmoil she could never have imagined.

  Will Elena be able to keep Landon without losing her father? Can she only have love if it comes with sorrow?

  Hot Neighbor is a sensual, fiery forbidden romance that shows how challenging the odds is worth it when true love is on the line.

  Standalone instalove romance with a HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger.

  CHAPTER ONE

  Landon

  The second I lay eyes on her as my moving van pulls up in the driveway, I know I want her. I feel my cock harden in my pants and every possessive bone in my body longs to snatch her up and make her mine. This beautiful temptress, sitting on her window ledge with her dark doe eyes watching me, is definitely going to get me in trouble.

  I feel my fists clench at my sides as I continue to watch her. Her dark hair spills in waves over her creamy shoulders. She’s wearing a tank top that barely covers anything. I guess the hot weather means I’ll be seeing a lot more of her in skimpy clothes.

  I feel a growl rising in my throat. This isn’t what I expected when I came here. I’m here for a new start, an introduction to LA living to be closer to my clients. I didn’t come here for women. I’ve never been with one before and I’ve never found the right one for me. But now, staring up at this woman, I know I’ve found the one I’ve been missing.

  But I have to help get my things inside. I only have the removal van for another hour so I need to shift my furniture inside fast. I get out of the van and the hot Californian sun beats down on me. I strip myself of my shirt and though I don’t look up, I know she’s watching. I smile to myself. Good. I’m the only man she should be allowed to look at.

  She stays at her window, watching me as I work up a sweat moving my furniture inside. It’s hard work, but I know it’ll catch this beautiful woman’s attention, so I don’t mind one bit. I know she’ll be looking at the rippling muscles of my body, fantasizing about what it would be like for me to wrap my strong arms around her instead of a piece of furniture.

  At least, I hope that’s what she’s thinking.

  By the time I’ve moved all of my furniture inside and given the keys to the van back to the removal’s guy, I’m glistening with sweat and craving a beer. But first, I want to meet this woman properly. If we’re going to be neighbors then there’s no denying that we need to get to know each other...but I wouldn’t mind getting to know her a lot more intimately than most of my prior neighbors.

  I haven’t picked out a room yet, so I decide that there’s no better master bedroom than the one right opposite her bedroom. I rush upstairs and enter the empty room. For a moment, I can’t see her, but then she drifts to the side window, clearly excited to see me. She opens the window and sits on the ledge, her legs dangling out of the window.

  “Hi,” she murmurs. She’s so damn beautiful that I can barely take it. I want to leap over into her room and take her right there and then. She’s woken up a desire filled animal inside me that I didn’t know existed until I laid eyes on you. I’m having cravings for things I’ve never done, and I’m only craving them with her.

  “Hi,” I say in return, opening my own window. We stare at one another for a moment. As her eyes wander over my still bare chest, I can’t help admiring her own. She’s got wide hips and large breasts. Every guy’s dream.

  “So I guess we’re neighbors,” she says, fiddling with the ends of her hair. She offers me a smile so seductive that I almost come in my pants. “I’m Elena.”

  I stretch out of my window to shake her hand.

  “I’m Landon,” I murmur in a husky tone. “It’s nice to meet you.”

  She blushes a little. It suddenly occurs to me that she’s a lot younger than I am. She must only be twenty-one at the most, so there’s at least a twenty-year age difference between us. Some might say it’s not appropriate for me to be craving a younger woman, but I’ve never been one to enforce taboos. I’m attracted to her, and she’s obviously attracted to me...that’s our business and no one else’s.

  “Nice to meet you too,” she says, her hand lingering in the handshake. I resist the urge to stroke my thumb over the beautifully soft skin of her hand.

  “Aren’t I lucky to have such a friendly new neighbor,” I growl. She smiles.

  “Just wait until you meet my family. They’re really cool.”

  I’m not so sur
e her family and I are going to get along. I bet her dad won’t be too pleased with me when he figures out the thoughts going through my head. I want her to be mine. I want to fuck her until she screams my name. I have bad intentions for his daughter and I don’t think he’s going to want to be friends when he notices that.

  But I’ll make her mine no matter what.

  Elena

  My heart is racing so fast as I hand Landon a beer through the window. We’ve been sitting here talking for a while and I thought we could make this whole thing a little more friendly with a drink. Little does he know how friendly I want to get with him.

  The second he showed up with that moving van, I couldn’t take my eyes off him. And then when he got out and started moving furniture shirtless...I may as well have become a puddle of lust on the floor. He’s the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. His dark beard and sleek hair frame his handsome face and his piercing blue eyes. He’s the kind of man who looks like he was carved by the gods. I want to touch him so badly. I want to run my hands over the valleys of his six-pack. I want to feel his strong arms lifting me as easily as he lifted that furniture earlier. I want everything he’s got to offer me.

  But I know I’m talking crazy. He must be twice my age, and my family would never approve. Besides, he’s probably not interested in me. Sure, I get some interest from guys my own age, but he probably just thinks I’m some immature child who’s crushing on a man way too old for her. He’s probably right if that’s what’s going through his mind...but it doesn’t stop me from wanting him.

  “What brings you to LA?” I ask him, sipping a drink of my own. At least now that I’m twenty-one I can have a drink with him so I don’t seem so much like a child.

  “I’ve got some big clients here. I’m a personal trainer,” he says in his deep, gruff voice. It’s so commanding and sexy that it turns me on right away.

  “Like celebrity clients?”

  “Yeah. I’ve been working with some of them remotely for a few years, doing video training mostly, but I figured it was time to move where I can get the best work. I mean, there are plenty of celebrities in LA looking to stay trim. I guess that’s where the money’s at.”

  I smile and twirl a strand of hair around my finger. “Maybe you could teach me a thing or two.”

  He smirks, eyeing me up and down. “Oh, I bet I could...you seem eager to learn. I’d have you working up a sweat in no time.”

  My cheeks feel impossibly hot. The flirting between us is already so heated that it’s like we’re on a first date, trying to entice each other into going to bed together. I’ve never been with a boy before let alone a man...I’ve also never even been kissed. In fact, I’ve never had the desire too. But suddenly, this man is all I want. I want him so badly that I know he’s going to consume my every thought. Now I understand why people are so obsessed with the idea of sex...just thinking about his body on top of mine and his cock deep inside me is making me flustered.

  “I might take you up on that offer,” I purr, hoping he hasn’t noticed how worked up he’s made me. He sips his beer.

  “What about you, then? How do you spend your time?”

  “I’m training to be a pharmacist. It’s a lot of hard work, but I love it.”

  “Ambitious, I like it,” Landon growls and I practically melt into a puddle right on the spot. I can’t help noticing that my sex is wet, yearning for him and his body.

  This guy has got me wrapped around his little finger.

  Suddenly, I hear footsteps on the stairs and I panic. It must be my dad getting home from work. If he sees me leaning out of the window talking to our hot new neighbor with a beer in my hand he’s going to go ballistic. He’s so overprotective of me, sometimes I wish he’d just ease off a bit. This is the first time I’ve ever wanted a man and I can tell he’s going to ruin it.

  He comes bursting into the room without knocking, a smile on his face.

  “I’m home, pumpkin! What a day, the air conditioner broke in the office…” He trails off when he sees me sitting in the window with Landon. “Oh...hello.”

  “Um, this is our new neighbor, Landon,” I say, standing up and hoping my dad doesn’t notice how flushed I am. “He just moved in today...I was just getting to know him a little.”

  The smile on my dad’s face has disappeared as quickly as it arrived. He stares at Landon, tight-lipped, looking for a reason to get defensive, I bet. I hold my breath.

  “Nice to meet you, Landon. I’m John,” he says. He leans through the window to shake his hand. Landon doesn’t seem flustered at all as he takes the offer.

  “Nice to meet you too, John. You’ve got an incredible daughter.”

  “Thanks,” Dad hisses. He doesn’t sound sincere at all. He grabs my arm and tugs me across the room. “Say goodbye, Elena. It’s time for dinner.”

  I know for a fact it’s not, but I glance over my shoulder at Landon and shrug apologetically. I don’t want to leave him. But he just smiles and waves before disappearing from the window entirely. I sigh. My dad has probably just ruined any chance I have of ever impressing him now.

  He stops once we’re on the landing and I fold my arms over my chest.

  “Why did you do that, Dad? We were just being friendly…”

  “A little too friendly,” he says through gritted teeth.

  “What’s that supposed to mean?”

  “Nothing, honey. Just go and set the table for dinner. Your mother would appreciate it.”

  I roll my eyes, but I do as he says. I barely eat anything at dinner. I lost my appetite the second I saw Landon. Now, all I’m hungry for is him.

  I rush back upstairs the second the dinner is over. I want to see if we can pick up where we left off. I open my window, feeling a little breathless, but he’s not in his bedroom. Disappointed, I’m about to close the window, but then I see something that makes my heart sink.

  A car has pulled up in the driveway and a woman steps out of it. She’s beautiful, olive-skinned like Landon and her dark hair is sleek and smooth. And as she calls Landon’s name, he runs toward her and she wraps her arms around his neck in a hug.

  And that’s as much as I can bear to watch.

  CHAPTER TWO

  Landon

  It’s been about an hour since my sister showed up. She’s staying with me for a while until she can afford to get her own place. It’s part of the reason I moved out here, actually. She’s running from her past with an abusive ex and if I can help to give her a good future here in L.A then that’s what I’m going to do. She’s my best friend as well as my sister, and I’d do anything for her.

  The trouble is, the only place I want to be right now is sitting on the window ledge talking to Elena, and now my sister won’t shut up. She’s a talker, for sure, and she won’t stop even as I keep hinting that I want to head up to bed.

  “Don’t you want to sit and talk?” Jenny asks, sipping on a beer. “I mean, we barely ever have a catch-up…”

  “I’m sorry. I’m just distracted...by the whole moving thing, I guess,” I grumble, but she must be able to tell I’m lying. I haven’t been able to get Elena off my mind. My cock has been hard as a rock since the moment I saw her. I need her body. I need her breath on my neck and her hands wrapped around me as I take her hard. Claim her. Make her mine. I need her to give herself to me entirely and promise to be mine forever.

  “Something’s up with you, I can tell,” Jenny says, chewing her lip thoughtfully. “It hasn’t got something to do with that cute chick next door, does it?”

  She’s got my attention now. My head snaps in her direction. “What did you say?”

  “Oh come on. I know a pretty girl when I see one. It makes sense, right? She’s literally the girl next door, no wonder you can’t resist.”

  “Don’t tease me about this,” I growl. The things I’m feeling for Elena go way beyond a little crush. I want her to be mine forever. I want to put my babies inside her. I want to own her body and keep her close to me at all t
imes. This is insanity, I know. I’ve gone from a celibate forty-year-old to wanting this young woman more than anything else in the world. Jenny laughs.

  “Oh man, you’re in trouble. But, I think it might be a good thing you know. You’ve spent all this time on your own, it’s good to see you take an interest in someone. Even if you guys just fuck or something, it doesn’t have to be serious.”

  “Yes it does,” I growl. “I want everything with her. This isn’t just about sex.”

  Jenny chuckles. “Sure, whatever you say. After you’ve slept together and you’ve got it out of your system, you’ll feel differently. Just keep it on the down-low, yeah? If her dad finds out about you two then you’ll have a fight on your hands. And this is a nice neighborhood. I don’t want you to have to move.”

  I don’t even bother arguing with her. I know she thinks this is just some casual thing, but it’s not. She’ll never understand how much I feel for Elena already. I’ve waited forty years for this and now I’m impatient to have her. I’m going to make her mine and she will be my forever girl.

  I head back upstairs, no longer worried about being a good host to Jenny. I have to see Elena. But when I get up to my new room, it’s too late, she’s already shut her blinds for the night. It’s surely too early for her to be asleep, but if she’s blocking me out, there must be a reason for it. Maybe she doesn’t want to piss off her dad. Maybe she’s tired….

  Or maybe she just isn’t interested in me.

  Huffing to myself, I finish up making my bed and get under the covers. It’s too hot to sleep on a night like this, and my cock is throbbing with need. I could pleasure myself, but it wouldn’t be the same. Not now that I’m so desperate to have my cock buried deep inside her tight little pussy. Only Elena can give me the release I so sorely need. Only Elena can make me happy.

  I know I’m acting crazy. This isn’t like me. I’m normally so in control, so focussed, so good at keeping myself under control. I barely know Elena and yet there’s something about her...something pulling me in...something making me want her desperately…
