    About this ebook

    It's not just a love story, it's an obsession...

     

    Skylar:           

    Every time my neighbor jogs past my house, I do my best to tempt him. Washing my car, watering my lawn, doing yoga in the grass with all my assets in the air. I'm not sure if he notices me, but I sure can't miss him.

     

    Then one day he falls... into my arms and into my bed. Surprisingly, we're better matched than I would've expected. But when he reveals who he is, my world comes crashing down around me because if he finds out my secret we're finished before we've even begun.

     

    Cade:

     

    Three days a week, I put myself through hell by jogging through my neighborhood. I suffer through it simply to catch a glimpse of a woman I don't know. Every time I pass her house she's outside tempting me. Until one day I fall... over my feet, over my heart, over this woman and into her arms.

     

    I know nothing about her, but I want to discover everything. Even her deepest, darkest secrets. However, little does she know, I have one, too. One that may sever the tie that binds us.

     

    Note: All books in the Obsessed series are standalone novellas. It is intended for audiences over 18 years of age since it includes mature situations.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Skylar:

      Iwatch as sweat drips one bead at a time onto my over-priced yoga mat. The sun is so freaking hot and here I am, like an idiot out in my yard, bent over in the downward facing dog pose for the past million years. Okay, not years... maybe more like a million seconds. But my body has decided it hates me (nothing new) and is cramping while my head spins. Even better, my over-priced yoga pants have clawed their way up my crack (as well as one other place). And still...

      No neighbor.

      What the hell?

      Despite my eyeballs’ attempt at bulging out of their sockets, I peek at my sports watch. He should’ve been by here two-point-five minutes ago.

      Shit.

      The man is usually like clockwork, jogging by my house on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons every week. For the most part, anyway. Though, thunderstorms seem to discourage him from his cardio. (Not sure why.)

      On those days, I would be willing to recommend another type of cardio to get his heart pumping. And maybe get his hips pumping, too.

      Anyway... look at me! Doing yoga on my front lawn, on the uneven grass, waiting like a desperate woman. (I’m not, really, I promise! It just looks that way.)

      But, damn, the man is fine and when he jogs past shirtless, he’s shiny with sweat, which makes me want to drag him inside and give him a sponge bath with my tongue.

      My thighs start shaking as I peek between my spread legs, because, of course, my ass has to be facing the street. I want him to get a good look at what I’m offering.

      I may even wiggle it a little when he jogs by.

      That is if I don’t pass out into a heap first.

      I sigh.

      Then sigh again a little louder just for good measure.

      Maybe it would be easier if I just took up jogging. Wear one of those sexy sports bras, put my hair up in a cute little pony tail, plaster a smile on my face and follow him around the block at a perky pace.

      I’ll die first.

      Cade:

      Why I ever started this shit, I’ll never know. No, I lie. I know. I thought, "Cade, dude,
