I had moved to Sweden from Norway just over a year ago and my family had settled in nicely. With three kids and a fiancΓ© who travels a lot for his work, I worked as a freelance writer.
Working from home was a plus when my time was divided between the kids schools, activities, and playdates. Not to mention, my fiancΓ© could work at all hours with me holding down the fort at home.
Making friends was a bit trickier when you don't work outside the home but I was making slow but steady progress. The language wasn't too difficult for me but when Scots moved in four houses away I jumped at the chance to help.
I met Martha when she was walking around school, trying to find the office and we hit it off. She was starting over after a nasty divorce and her brother had moved with her to help her out with the kids. We are good friends today, our kids even go to school together. But this story isn't about me and Martha. Me and her brother, Ethan on the other hand...
It was just over 90Β° outside, sunny and beautiful. I was drenched in sweat and feeling so good about my workout, which I had decided to finish inside. At least I dressed light, a sports top with a built-in bra and shorts. My yoga mat was put to good use as I struggled through my last reps of windmills. The ankle weights were killing me on this one, helping my abs staying flat and tight.
Feeling all sorts of hot today, I watched my legs and felt very happy I had decided to get in better shape. They looked fabulous and sexy, even in my own opinion, in their alabaster glory. My breasts pressed against the fabric of my size 36C bra. My arms had gotten slender and toned through winter.
These changes had gone unnoticed by my fiancΓ©, well, all but my perky butt. He went mad for it on the regular. My mind started to think of the things I wanted him to do to me later.
My doorbell rang and I took off the weights before I answered. I wasn't expecting anyone but I felt sure it was my neighbor and friend Martha. She often popped over for coffee or whatnot. I pushed my red hair away from my face as I approached the door.
I wasn't prepared for her brother, Ethan. Standing some solid 6", with gorgeous, wavy brown hair racing down just passed his shoulders, he was what my wet dreams were made off. His brown eyes regarded me for a moment, with surprise quickly turning to pleasure. He was dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt and light khakis. Which did nothing to hide his strong frame, the man worked out and was a detective. Before that, he'd been in the military.
