‘Sexed Up, Tied Down’

(Book 1 of ‘Sexed Up Series’)

Chapter One

Damn it, she was running off again.

Ethan didn’t understand it. Anytime he caught a glimpse of his beautiful, elusive neighbor, she seemed to be scuttling away before he could even say hello.

What was it about him that scared her so much? More to the point, what was it about her that intrigued him beyond belief?

Ethan had only seen her properly once. And yet that one time had been enough to be embedded in his memory. Slim, almost painfully so, and dressed in heavy, dark clothes. Her hair, long and ash blonde, was shaved down to a buzz on half of one side, while the rest of her silky looking locks cascaded over the other side of her face. Their eyes had caught and held as he’d been coming into the elevator and she’d emerged. They’d all but bumped into each other, but she’d righted her balance in time before they could collide.

“Sorry about that, mister,” she had mumbled, and her voice had been slightly deep, very sexy. He’d looked into her jewel-like green eyes for that split second before she brushed past him.

He’d turned and watched her walk off quickly out of the apartment building, moving through the revolving doors without a backward glance. He’d stepped into the elevator and it was only when the doors closed that he suddenly remembered he’d stopped breathing.

Hell, she was beautiful. Those haunting green eyes, her full, puffy lips with the natural glow of pink in them…her unblemished though somewhat pale skin…She looked quite young, perhaps early twenties – which made him at most ten years older than her. But then surely that wasn’t such a turn off, was it? Not like he was some perv stalker-to-be. But it would have been nice if she stopped to say hello each of those times they’d almost run into each other again.

Alas, she was more content to do the scampering thing and disappear round the corridor or down the stairs before he could say a word. Damn. He’d really have liked to know her better. There was something different about her. A bit of an edge, a hint of the exotic in her beauty.

And then Ethan had to remind himself that an involvement, even fleeting, with a female at that moment was out of the question. For one, he was monumentally busy with keeping his lucrative publishing business on track – and in addition, there was the very recent, very messy break-up with his ex, Leanne. He still wasn’t completely over that.

In fact, he should be shuddering at the thought of even getting near a woman right now. Hadn’t Leanne proven that the species were hardly to be trusted? Not only had she tried to steal from him via his company’s funds, she was also a self-confessed gold digger whom he’d overheard telling her friend she was only with him for all that family money.

Yikes, he thought, with an actual shudder this time. To think of how
