DESCRIPTION

He's a dashing millionaire who thinks everything in life is one big joke, probably because he bathes in piles of money each
morning. He’s also my new neighbor, and after a humiliating experience in the cemetery that is my backyard, he becomes my
shadow, showing up everywhere just to annoy me.
I’m not a fan of happy people. They bother me with their constant grins and rainbows coming out of their ears, and Vander
Booth is the king of smiles. Despite my efforts to scare him away with both my profession as an undertaker and my general
need for frowning through most of my workday, he sticks around like a bad case of poison ivy.
He is gorgeous though. I’ll give him that. And when I see the way he coordinates outfits with his grandma just to make her
happy, I'll admit my biological clock starts ticking. Add in his fear of real human connections and suddenly I find myself
cheering for the guy instead of plotting his death.
Though opposites can attract—and boy is my black lipstick attracted to his glow-in-the-dark smile—they don’t stay together
long-term. And they certainly can’t co-exist when they’re fighting constantly in a knock-down, drag-out competition for the
same piece of land for their business venture. Or can they? Cue ominous organ music…
CHAPTER ONE

V ander

I SLID right off the damn couch and nearly cracked my head on the solid wood coffee table. Linen shorts and plastic couch
covers were not a good combination.
“Jesus, G-Mil,” I groused, climbing back onto my feet and gingerly perching my ass on my grandmother’s ancient couch.
“Don’t I send you enough money to afford a couch without plastic?”
She waddled into the room, tinier every single year, which only made anxiety climb in my throat. Grandma Milly was my
best friend. The only human on earth who understood me and loved me as the flawed human I was. Hence the move to the tiny
town of Blueball. Believe me, this town wasn’t my first choice for early retirement, but if G-Mil was here, that’s where I
planned to be too. I’d floated the idea of moving her out to Scottsdale with me and she’d sent me articles about haboobs,
scorpions, and off-the-charts heat indexes until I’d gotten the message. Grandma Milly was never leaving Blueball.
“If you saw how much tea Gertie spills every Thursday, you’d understand why I need the plastic.” Grandma Milly placed a
tray of cookies on the coffee table. They were the dark cookies shaped like a windmill that tested the strength of your teeth
instead of the homemade kind she’d presented me with most of my life. The fact that she was resorting to store-bought made me
feel like I’d shown up in just the nick of time. “Did you enjoy your nap, Vandy?”
Only G-Mil could get away with calling me Vandy. I nodded, snatching up a cookie and watching her get settled in her old
recliner like a hawk. She moved slower now too. More careful, like she was testing the limits of her bones and soft tissue with
each move she made. She hadn’t mentioned any of that in our weekly calls the last few years, and I chastised myself mentally
for not coming out to check on her in person like I had been until work got crazy.
“Like the dead,” I replied, making a list of all the doctor appointments I wanted to take her to now that I was in town for
good. I wondered if Blueball had a physical therapist I could hire to come to the house. Maybe I could get a nurse in here full-
time to keep her moving. Or a chef so she ate all organic.
Grandma Milly frowned, the lines on her face stacking up. “Oh, at my advanced age we don’t joke about death, dear.”
My mouth dropped open, another layer of guilt slamming into me. “I’m sor⁠—”
Grandma’s face broke out into the smile that everyone said looked just like mine. “Gotcha, sucker!”
She cackled and hooted, looking downright gleeful while I gave her a disapproving look. But like always, her joy spread
and I couldn’t contain the smile on my own face. It was good to see her happy.
I reached over and held her gnarled hand in mine. “I’ve missed that laugh, G-Mil.”
She patted my hand, quieting down. “And I’ve missed you, Vandy. You send me so much money I just end up giving it away
because that’s not what I want. I want my boy.”
Damn, the woman was probably more than halfway to senile, but she could always grab me by the heart. “Well, your boy is
here to stay. I sold the company and my house. All my stuff is on a moving truck headed to Blueball. I appreciate you letting me
stay here for a few nights.”
Grandma’s shoulders did a little shimmy. “I do love a good sleepover! We’ll do face masks and I bought popcorn. You pick
the movie and I’ll choose the takeout.”
I grinned, the fatigue of driving out here this morning fading away fast. “Sounds good to me. I just need to meet up with my
realtor and get a tour of the place before escrow closes.”
“You go do that, dear, and I’ll catch up on my shows.”
I shook my head. “Still watching that dating show?”
“Damn right I am. Never too old to watch a good love story unfold.”
Standing, I let go of Grandma’s hand and reached for the gift bag I’d stashed in my truck. “I got you a little something.”
“Is it a puppy?”
I huffed out a laugh. “It’s not a puppy.”
Grandma’s face fell. “Well, shit.”
I lifted the cashmere out of the bag and wrapped it around her neck. The iconic check pattern in camel, black, and red
looked silly over her floral blouse and slacks, but nothing was too good for my grandma. If she’d let me, I’d deck her in nothing
but designer ballgowns and dripping jewels.
“Soft as a puppy,” I assured her.
She rolled her eyes. “More expensive than a damn puppy, I’m guessing too.” Her hands stroked the cashmere repeatedly, in
opposition to her words. “This is highly unnecessary. In fact, it’s frivolous. You really need to stop throwing around your
money, Vandy. Save it! Invest it!”
“I do, I swear!” I did the sign of the Boy Scouts, though I’d never been one. “But I like to spoil you, G-Mil. You’re my
girl.”
“I’m eighty! Hardly a girl.” Her eyes flashed but the corners of her mouth gave her away, tipping up slightly. “You need a
girl your own age. Speaking of, I know⁠—”
“Oh, look at the time. I’m about to be late. I can’t keep Audrey waiting. It would be incredibly rude to show up in town and
be late to my first meeting with a citizen of Blueball,” I announced, tapping the watch on my wrist that cost as much as most
people’s cars.
Grandma Milly frequently went on tangents about my dating life. Maybe the dating shows she watched gave her ideas about
what could happen if I found the right woman. I’d tried a dozen times to disabuse her of the idea of happily ever after, but she
stubbornly refused to listen to reason.
Being thirty-two, most of my acquaintances had already gotten married and started having kids. Not one of the women I’d
dated over the years seemed like someone I wanted to spend forever with. In fact, that sounded terrible. Just like ice cream
flavors, I needed variety. One couldn’t just eat vanilla every night for the rest of their life. Even peanut butter moose tracks
with sprinkles and a cherry on top got old after the fourth or fifth time in a row.
Grandma Milly pulled the scarf from her neck and whipped me with it. Thankfully, cashmere makes a bad whip. She
pushed to the edge of the recliner and then doubled in half, pushing herself to standing in slow motion. I reached out a hand to
help her, but she growled at me. When she finally got to her feet and stood straight up—well, as straight as her back could get
—she looked up at me, complete clarity in her eyes.
“Promise me, Vandy. Promise you won’t throw your money around here in Blueball.”
I opened my mouth to protest such a ridiculous promise, but she wasn’t done. Her finger pointed right in my face.
“If I have to be on a fixed income, so do you.”
“But—but you don’t have to be on a fixed income, G-Mil! I literally send you money every month so you don’t have to
worry about anything.” Add going over her finances to the list of things to do now that I was in town.
Grandma tutted. “Having so much money isn’t good for someone so young. Plus, you flash the cash and we’ll be robbed!”
She dramatically grabbed the pearls around her neck and I tilted my head, realizing I was being hustled by someone who barely
cracked five feet tall.
“We’re not going to be robbed. Blueball is a safe town. I looked into it, believe me.” Grandma looked like she was gearing
up for another stab at a ridiculous reason for not spending my money, so I put her out of her misery. I held her by the elbows
and leaned down into her face. “I promise I won’t flash my cash.”
She smiled and then kissed my cheek, smelling like cookies and icy hot. “You’re a good boy, Vandy. Now hold on just one
more second. I made you a sweater!”
I really was going to be late if I didn’t get going, but nothing and no one could pull me away from Grandma Milly when she
had something to give me. She’d been sending me things in the mail every few months, like she was slowly gifting me all the
family heirlooms before she died. Not that I had any plans for her to kick the bucket for at least another decade. I’d get every
longevity doctor and biohacker in here to extend her life past one hundred. Cost was not an issue.
I followed Grandma into the kitchen where she pulled a pea-green sweater off the back of a barstool and presented it to me.
Her eyes were sparkling and wide, her smile lighting her up and making her seem ten years younger.
“Ta-da!” She thrust the hideous sweater in my direction. It was a crocheted cardigan, buttons sewn down the front and a
few patches sewn into the chest. Mr. Rogers would have worn this thing like a boss and you better believe I had every intention
of doing the same.
I took it gently from her hands and admired the handiwork. She must have spent months crocheting this labor of love.
Warmth spread through my chest, and I almost teared up. I couldn’t remember the last time someone had given me a gift from
the heart.
“It’s the best sweater I’ve ever seen, G-Mil.” I swept her up into a careful hug, pulling her off her feet and spinning her
until she swatted at me to put her down.
She clasped her hands beneath her chin while I put it on, oohing and aahing once I got my arms through. The sleeves were
just right, skimming my wrists, and the width was perfect for my broad chest. I wasn’t sure if the green went with my shorts, but
I didn’t think Blueball was the height of the fashion world anyway.
“So handsome, my boy,” she whispered, tears in her eyes.
“I got the good-lookin’ gene from you,” I whispered back, throwing my arm around her shoulder and steering her back to
her recliner. “Now don’t get into trouble until I get back and can join you.”
Grandma sat down and lifted her nose in the air. “I can’t make any promises. Oh, and while you’re out, find yourself a
girlfriend, would you?”
I shook my head. She’d been telling me to find a girlfriend ever since I graduated high school, like somehow that would
bring me success in life. I left her place, happier than I’d been in a long while. Scottsdale had gotten stale lately. All the same
restaurants, colleagues, and women. New beginnings stirred my blood in a way I hadn’t felt in years.

The Skinner house came into view after I punched in the gate code and climbed the long winding driveway. Tall trees lined
the driveway, making a grand entrance. The pitch-black roof offset the stacked stone facade and creamy white keystones above
each window. The place looked like a modern-day castle with a turret on one side and a sweeping front entry of no less than
ten stairs leading to a wooden door that belonged on the front of an architectural magazine. I fucking loved it.
Audrey Hellman, the realtor I’d hired over the phone based off Grandma Milly’s suggestion, stood by the stairs, patiently
waiting for me. She had on a navy suit jacket, paired with gray slacks and the kind of heels that couldn’t possibly be
comfortable but made every man’s thoughts plummet to the gutter. Seeing that I was five minutes late, I slid out of my truck and
hustled over. I felt guilty when I was late to anything, a side effect of having parents who doled out punishment for being tardy.
Sadly, I was late a lot growing up and I had yet to grow out of the guilt.
“Mr. Booth? So nice to finally meet you.” Audrey shook my hand. I had to give it to her, she didn’t look put off by my
sweater in the slightest. She looked happy to see me. I imagined she was, given that the commission on this real estate
transaction would be close to six figures. I wasn’t naive enough to believe her enthusiasm at my appearance was for any other
reason.
“Vander, please. And yes, it’s lovely to finally be here in Blueball.”
“Did you just get in today?” she asked, climbing the stairs while somehow still looking over her shoulder to keep eye
contact. The woman was a goddamn professional.
“I did. Swung by Grandma Milly’s place first. Thanks for meeting me for a walk-through.”
She jostled the front door lock and the oversized door swung open. “Of course. You just bought the most stunning house in
all of Blueball.”
My first glimpse of the house left me speechless. From the rough-hewn stone floors to the aged zinc wagon wheel
chandeliers to the floor-to-ceiling velvet draperies, nothing was basic in this house. I stepped inside and had the strangest
feeling come over me. It wasn’t a feeling of being haunted by the previous owners like one would think from the architecture
style, but more like a sense of coming home. To have arrived in a place that was as mine as the scar on my left elbow from
falling off my bike when I was eight. I’d never seen the place before, but it was home. All six thousand square feet of it.
“If you’re looking for one of a kind, I can imagine that this view would do it for you,” Audrey was saying, having walked
over to the expansive front room that Grandma Milly would surely call a parlor. She gestured out the window with a quirk to
her mouth.
I joined her to take in the view of the entire valley, seeing the edge of downtown Blueball on the far-left side. Treetops
blocked most of the view, but what I could see made me feel like I was the resident king on the hill, surveying the peasants. My
gaze dropped lower.
Make that the deceased.
“Is that…?” I trailed off.
Audrey lost the fight with her smile. “Yep. That’s Blueball’s cemetery. The building directly below is Blueball Endless
Eternity, the funeral home that oversees the land.”
I vaguely recalled Audrey telling me these same details before I sent over the offer on the house, but I hadn’t registered the
meaning until I was staring at a hundred tombstones glowing in the late afternoon sunlight.
“Thankfully I don’t spook easy,” I replied, turning from the window, eager to check out the rest of the house.
Audrey spent the better part of an hour with me crawling all over the three levels in the house before we closed the place
back up. Once the funds officially transferred tomorrow, this place would be mine.
“Off to go celebrate?” Audrey asked after we shook hands.
I shrugged, giving off the easy smile I had down to a science. I could be sitting naked on a red ant hill and still give off that
smile. “Got a hot movie date followed by face masks and ice cream.”
Audrey chuckled. “Sounds heavenly. I’ll have to see if my fiancé is up for the same.”
“Pretty sure snuggling in front of a movie is fiancé mandatory behavior.” Not that I’d know. Sounded about right though if
Grandma’s shows were anything to go by.
Audrey’s face went soft and I could tell she was madly in love with whomever this fiancé was. “He’s a very good snuggler.
Though he doesn’t have a super soft sweater like you. I might have to suggest it.”
I smoothed my hands down the front of my yarn catastrophe. “Nothing says young and single like a cardigan.”
Audrey laughed like I hoped she would. “I think you’re going to fit in just fine around here, Vander.”
I wasn’t so sure about that, but I nodded anyway and headed for my truck. Fitting in had never been my style. I mostly blew
through towns, events, and social gatherings like a stand-up comedian, dazzling everyone with my wit, but never connecting
with anyone. Blueball, however, did not have enough places for me to move on to greener pastures socially, so I’d have to find
a way to make actual friends.
Or I could just hang out with Grandma Milly until we were both six feet under one of those headstones.

CHAPTER TWO

M arlo

“MARLO ! YOU NEED TO EAT !”


Dad’s shout carried through the first floor where I was currently on my hands and knees collecting wrappers from under the
wooden pews in the reception room. Someone at today’s funeral had had a mighty hankering for peppermint candies.
And a lack of decorum regarding littering.
“Coming!”
Right on cue, my stomach growled so loudly it might have woken up Ralph Waldo (uncle to Auburn Hill’s old chief of
police, James Waldo) had he not been deaf as a doornail. And if he were alive. Currently, he was lying in the casket at the front
of the room, his hands peacefully folded over his chest after receiving the entire town of Auburn Hill and part of Blueball
earlier today. I’d done a particularly skilled job with his makeup, if I did say so myself. It was quite the artform to make the
dead look living without also making them look like a Vegas showgirl.
“See you in a few, Ralph. I’m hoping Mom made meatloaf. If I recall correctly, that was also your favorite too, huh?”
Ralph did not answer.
Tucking the wrappers into the can at the back of the room and making a mental note to take the trash out to the curb later
tonight after I buttoned up things with Ralph, I shut the lights off, washed my hands, and headed for the stairs that led to our
family’s private quarters.
Dad was waiting for me at the top of the stairs, looking like a million bucks in his polo and slacks. It felt like a personal
triumph that Mom and I had talked him out of his suits a few months after his heart attack. I can’t remember a single day of my
youth where Dad wore something other than a three-piece suit. Pre-heart attack, that is. But he remained steadfast with his hair
gel, coifing that thick black hair into the kind of style that would have made James Dean light up a cigarette in solidarity.
“You’re working too hard, girlie,” he rumbled, pulling me under his arm the second I cleared the top step and enveloping
me in a cloud of his cologne. It was safe to say I was a daddy’s girl, probably because I had the best one west of the
Mississippi.
“No harder than you ever did.” I lifted an eyebrow, daring him to deny that he’d given his whole life to the family business.
He made a noise in his throat, but kissed me on the top of my head. “You should be dating men and making babies, not
running yourself to death handling the business.”
I shrugged. “Death kind of is our business, Daddy.”
He lifted his arm off my shoulders and gently pushed me toward the table where Mom had laid out a healthy dinner like she
always did since Dad’s heart attack. Nothing like seeing literal clogged arteries on a daily basis and then suffering a heart
attack to make you cut out the saturated fat.
“You’ve always had a good sense of humor, Marlo,” Dad said, having a seat at the head of the table and kissing my mother.
“If you’d just unleash it around the young men, they’d be lining up to put a ring on your finger.”
I sat on the long side of the table and put a napkin in my lap. “Yes, I can see it now. A procession of young eligible
bachelors lining up into the funeral home, eager to date the undertaker’s daughter.” I held up my hands dramatically, lips
quirking when Mom began to laugh. “I’d have to beat them away with a casket. Although you know, that might make for a great
setting for the next Bachelor! Halloween edition, or something.”
“Bah!” Dad dug into his meal—not meatloaf, sadly—and shook his head at my antics. “You joke now, but by your age, I
was married to your mother already.”
I chewed on a forkful of green beans, swallowing before answering. “If grandkids were your endgame, you should have
had more kids to up your odds of procreation. Speaking of over-populating the earth, have you taken a look at that projection I
put together?”
Redirecting my father was the only way to escape the dating issue. This issue was far more important than the number of
good eggs I had left in this body of mine. If we didn’t buy some more land, we were going to run out of space. And unless we
started charging recurring rental fees on the already departed in our cemetery—I could see the headache already, trying to get
the deceased to sign off on membership fees—we wouldn’t be making money in the future unless we had more plots to sell.
Mom darted a glance in my direction that held a heavy dose of warning. I knew that look. I’d seen it on her face every
single day since Dad’s heart attack. Don’t bring up work stuff with your dad. He can’t handle the stress.
But Blueball Endless Eternity was his business. Sure, he’d handed the baton over to me after his heart attack, but for major
business decisions like expanding, I wanted his input. It would take a major loan from the bank to buy the plot of land next door
to the existing cemetery, not a move I’d make without the full financial and emotional backing of my parents.
Dad wiped his mouth with his napkin before sitting back in his chair. “Never thought I’d see the day. I used to think we
bought too much land. I’d never fill it, but here we are.”
Anxiety about this decision, on top of all the other daily stress of running a bustling business all by myself, made me lose
my appetite. “Can’t we just make everyone get cremated from now on? It would take up far less room.”
“Marlo,” Mom muttered, shaking her head.
“What? Everyone’s pushing electric vehicles for the environment. I say we start a movement for mandatory cremation.
Stack up the urns and use far less land. It’s the ultimate way to keep the earth green. Return to ashes and forget the caskets. Oh
hell, that’s a good tagline!”
“Marlo.” Dad simply said my name, a finality in his tone that made me sputter to a stop. He never raised his voice, but
when he used that tone, everyone knew he’d reached his limit.
I sighed. “I know. I was just kidding anyway.”
Mom darted into the charged silence and steered the conversation toward the latest gossip in town. Mom and Dad had been
married for close to thirty years and seemed to be just as in love as the day they said I do. Sometimes I felt left out as an only
child. Like they were best friends and I was the third wheel.
I let their chatter fade into the background as I ran through my mental to-do list for the evening. Ten-hour days were the
norm around these parts, and even longer days when receiving a body. I’d been working so hard I’d been neglecting my friends.
Perhaps I could lob a text out to them tonight and schedule a time to get together.
After helping Mom with the dishes, I headed back to the main level of the old Victorian to move Ralph to the reposing
room. The family would be back tomorrow morning for the actual graveside service.
As I held the lid of the casket, I smiled down one last time at Ralph. “I hope you had a great life and I hope the next one is
even better. Be well, Ralph Waldo.”
And with that final sendoff I gave everyone who came through our funeral home, I closed the lid one last time. The
deceased didn’t scare me in the slightest. Truly, it was an honor to take care of them in this time of transition, a privilege I did
not take lightly despite my earlier teasing about cremation.
I had all the lights off on the main floor and was heading for the stairs to turn in for the night when I noticed a faint orange
glow out the south window. I darted to the glass and squinted into the distance.
“You kinky little motherfuckers,” I whispered to myself, fogging up the window and blocking my view of two conspirators
who’d invaded our cemetery after hours.
Unless my eyes deceived me, there was a couple currently mid-snog up against ol’ Mr. Landers’s headstone.
I bolted away from the window and out the back door, my legs eating up the lawn. The long skirt I’d chosen today didn’t
help much though. I felt like I was Laura Ingalls Wilder, running down the hill in the opening credits in a neck-to-ankle dress
and falling face-first into the dead grass. I pressed on because Mr. Landers had been a crotchety old man who wouldn’t have
appreciated teens rounding third base on his final resting place.
The orange glow I’d seen through the window turned out to be a candle flame dancing in a glass jar. I had to hand it to the
teens, they’d decked out their make-out spot like true champs. A fleece blanket kept the bugs away while they were rolling
around the tombstones and the candle cast an almost romantic vibe. But for me, it was the bubbles.
As I skid to a halt next to the oblivious couple—who were well on to second base, I might add—I lifted a finger in the air
to pop a bubble coming from the battery-operated bubble maker they’d propped up against Mr. Landers’s headstone. I almost
hated to break them up. They were getting more action than I’d seen since the undertaker conference in Arizona three years ago
where I’d managed to ditch my dad long enough to make out with the guy who sold the caskets with Bluetooth speakers
embedded into the lining. The man had unusually long fingers. Sadly, we’d been interrupted before I’d managed to take full
advantage of said fingers.
But that was beside the point and the cemetery was closed. Additionally, it was straight negligent to have an open flame out
here. Slow your roll, Universe. I’d been kidding when I said all of our customers should be cremated.
“Time to take that boob grab back to your car, folks,” I drawled, delighting when they jolted apart and the girl let out a
shriek. What did they expect? A ghost?
The guy stood up, eyes wide and hair all a mess. He reached for the girl and yanked her to her feet, both of them making a
run for it like I was the grim reaper and they were my next victims. They looked no older than middle of high school if I had to
guess.
“Hey! You forgot your stuff!”
Neither one bothered to slow down, look back, or show a single flicker of regret leaving their blanket, candle, and bubble
machine. I briefly wondered if I could successfully incorporate bubbles into a memorial service, but dismissed the idea just as
quickly.
What the hell was wrong with teens these days? Back in my day, you just looked for a dark corner and mashed bodies
together. These kids had to deck out their make-out spot like a dorm room before getting it on. I shook my head at their
commitment to the mood. Then I tilted my head and observed the bubbles in the candlelight.
“Huh,” I said into the silent night. It was kind of pretty. Fanciful, even.
I poked a bubble and watched it splatter on my skin. Then I poked another one and another one. Pretty soon my arms were
flying and I was playing a weird game of whack-a-mole, which ol’ Mr. Landers would have hated simply because it had the
unmistakable whiff of fun.
My foot kicked something mid bubble poke and the orange glow got brighter in a nano-second.
“Ah shit.”
The fleece blanket immediately went up in flames and Mr. Landers suddenly had a front-row seat to a bonfire. Thinking
quickly, I shoved my skirt down my legs and stepped out, using the voluminous material to blanket the flames. Thankfully, it
worked because I didn’t enjoy the idea of having to run back to the house to grab the fire extinguisher in just my black flats,
gray blouse, and underwear. I’d worn granny panties today that shouldn’t see the light of day or even the mooncast of night.
They did not do good things for my ass.
A deep voice came from behind me. “Are you all right?”
Chills raced up my back and I froze in my panties. I wasn’t scared, goddammit, I was pissed. I would have bet my life that
the old motherly advice would never actually be applicable. It was like being told to wait thirty minutes to swim after you ate.
Or that swallowing gum means it’ll stay in your stomach for seven years. Everyone knew those were simply myths designed to
curb a kid’s behavior, right?
Well, the joke was on me.
I wasn’t in a car accident, but I was about to be murdered in my worst pair of underwear.
CHAPTER THREE

V ander

“HELLOOOOO .” My voice echoed off the stone floors and empty walls of this new house of mine. The best acoustics were in the
entryway where the vaulted ceilings and stone walls made me sound like Andrea Bocelli belting one out in the Tuscan
countryside.
Boxes stacked up dauntingly in each room from where the movers had placed them earlier today. I should probably start
unpacking but I was having too much fun making my voice bounce off the walls. Plus I was tired. Grandma Milly’s spare
bedroom contained a twin bed that had surely been manufactured before the first world war. Pretty sure I had a case of tetanus
from that one metal spring that dug into my back all night long.
Grabbing the laundry basket that held the clothes G-Mil had so kindly laundered for me this morning while I was busy
directing movers, I snatched up my gray sweatpants and a soft T-shirt. Until I found the box that held my sheets, I’d be crashing
on my mattress without covers. And I had yet to find the thermostat in this place, so I hoped I didn’t freeze tonight. I made quick
work of peeling off my sweat-soaked jeans and shirt. Sure, I’d hired movers, but I couldn’t just stand around letting them do all
the work while I watched. I pulled on the clean T-shirt and nearly asphyxiated myself.
“What the hell?” I yanked harder and barely got the thing on. It hugged my chest, strangled my biceps, and ended just above
my belly button. “No, no, no.”
I grabbed my favorite pair of gray sweatpants and tugged them on too, realizing with horror that they ended at my shins and
hugged my ass like a woman in yoga pants. The kind that wiggled right up your crack and got cozy.
“Fuck!” The word bounced off the walls and repeated back to me. G-Mil had put everything in the dryer when I’d
specifically asked her to hang-dry them. I wouldn’t say I was obsessed with fashion by any means, but what I did have was
top-notch quality. My dry-cleaning bill was usually more than my grocery bill. I’d spent a pretty penny on these designer
sweatpants that stroked my skin like silk and now they wouldn’t fit a small child.
A shriek from somewhere outside had my head whipping up in alarm. I ran to the front window in the parlor and saw two
people running hand in hand through the cemetery below, laughing hysterically. Another shout had my gaze dropping further. A
woman flailed about like bees had taken to attacking her head. Then she kicked a candle that seemed to come out of nowhere
and suddenly the entire ground around her was in flames. I didn’t bother waiting to see more. I was out the front door and
racing down the mountain. My old trainer in Scottsdale would be impressed. All those sprints where I cursed his name and
paid him thousands of dollars for the torture had finally paid off.
I reached the fire just in time to see the woman bend over, rip off her skirt, and blanket the flames like she was a
professional firefighter with nerves of steel. She scrambled to her feet in black dress shoes attached to long pale legs that were
now bare. Not even the faint moonlight could hide the sinewy curves this woman sported. Not even the moonlight could pull
my gaze away from the panties oddly reminiscent of Grandma Milly’s that covered an ass I would have preferred to see bare,
just like her legs. Her dark hair swung as she pushed it over her shoulders and assessed the situation.
“Are you all right?” I asked, always one to lead with good manners. You could get a lot more accomplished with kindness,
I’d found.
A little machine down by a headstone kept pumping out bubbles, oblivious to the gravity of the situation. The bubbles were
so thick in numbers I could barely see the back of the woman’s head. It dawned on me she’d been down here popping bubbles,
not fending off bees. A beat of silence had my worry increasing. When she didn’t immediately turn around, I paused to look
around me. We were in the middle of the cemetery, not one light illuminating the situation now that the fire was out.
“Odd place for a bonfire,” I drawled, stepping back and to the side to lean on the headstone. I kept my hands where she
could see them. I meant no ill will.
The woman remained frozen, but I saw her eyes shift to the right to study me. A bubble floated by my face and I poked it.
Damn. That was fun. I could see why she’d been flailing around earlier. I poked another one.
“Good call on putting out the fire. The bubbles are way more fun.” I kept poking them until the woman unfroze, an
exasperated groan wrenched from her mouth.
“Ugh! My whole cemetery could have burned down!” She bent at the waist and slapped the bubble machine. Instantly the
bubbles stopped churning out.
I pouted. Why did everyone always stop the fun? This lady, despite not having pants on which was usually a sign of a good
time, seemed like she was far too serious about things considering the fire was out and there was no danger. Her dark
eyebrows were drawn over pretty eyes. Her outfit, minus the granny panties, was dark and somber, much like her mood.
“They’re already dead, Bubbles.”
That, apparently, was the wrong thing to say. I’d never seen a woman grow two inches on an inhale of fury. It was
fascinating, especially when the woman was half naked and quite beautiful in an avenging-dark-angel kind of way.
She opened her mouth and I was on the edge of my proverbial chair, waiting to see what zinger of an insult she threw at me.
“Nice belly button.”
I blinked. That…was not what I was expecting. I glanced down at myself, finally remembering that I was in toddler
clothing, and that my belly button was indeed on display. Without any warning at all, I discovered I really, really liked dark
angels. If the situation in the front of my pants was anything to go by. Although that could simply be due to blood flow issues in
these tight pants.
The woman bent again and snatched something off the ground. As she straightened, I took that moment to step forward and
tuck her hair behind her ear so I could swipe my thumb through a soot mark on her cheek. She inhaled sharply, eyes sparkling
up at me. She was tall, her gaze level with my chin. I didn’t know this woman at all, but she seemed equally angry and turned
on, a combination I could definitely work with. The moment my thumb touched her cheek, she flinched, bobbling the flashlight
she’d picked up. I snatched it before it hit the ground, whipping it up to aim it up under my chin like I used to as a boy when my
parents shipped me off to an all-boys summer camp and we spent the evenings around the campfire trying to scare the shit out
of each other.
“It was a dark and stormy night,” I began, pitching my voice low and menacing.
“For fuck’s sake,” she hissed, grabbing the flashlight out of my hands and clipping me on the chin.
She let out a mewl and grabbed her arm, the complaint about her abuse dying on my lips. The woman practically glowed,
she was so pale, so I easily saw in the moonlight what caused her pain. A red streak marred her porcelain skin.
I took the flashlight back yet again and shined it on her arm. “Damn, Bubbles. You burned yourself.”
“No shit, Sherlock,” she spat back.
I grinned, finding her feistiness highly amusing. I’d found that most women took decades before they ripened their feistiness
factor, which was probably why Grandma Milly was my best friend. She’d had plenty of decades to perfect her level of
ballsiness. However, this woman was proving my theory wrong. She probably came out of the womb with a scowl and a
middle finger pointed in the air. I didn’t care for pushovers and this filly was steady as a headstone set in concrete.
“Let’s get you up to the house so we can clean that up.”
Putting my hand on her elbow, I took a step toward my house, but she didn’t follow.
The woman wrenched her arm out of my grasp with a scowl. “Get lost, buddy, or I’ll find an open ditch around here and
push you in it.”
I put my hands on my hips, barely holding back laughter. Her gaze dropped to where my pants were tightest. I returned the
favor, though those droopy panties weren’t tight anywhere.
“I can’t in good conscience leave you burned and alone in the cemetery, Bubbles.”
“Stop calling me that.”
I shrugged. “I don’t know your name and bubbles seems fitting. Like your personality.”
She only scowled harder. “Oh good. Then I’ll call you annoying.”
“My name’s actually Vander. Vander Booth, but you can call me annoying if you’d like. I love a good nickname.”
Her eyes narrowed while she seemed to be making some kind of decision in her head. “How’d you get in here? The
cemetery’s closed.”
I pointed over my left shoulder. “I live up there.”
“No, you don’t,” she snapped with complete confidence despite being caught in public in her undies.
God, she was delightful. “I do. Just bought the place. Closed escrow yesterday. You can call my realtor, Audrey Hellman, if
you don’t believe me.”
She continued to glare at me, but didn’t mount another argument or continue to tell me I was a liar. This was what I’d call
progress in our relationship.
