know? For some reason, he hasn’t had a lot of success with the place closest to his own home.”
    Pepper’s arched brows raised another notch. “So do you think you’ll be happy there?”
    “After seeing it, I honestly couldn’t imagine myself being unhappy there.”
    Pepper could hear the excitement fringing Capri’s words and it was contagious. “So could you use some more help?”
    Capri laughed. “What time can you be here?”
     
    Tiberius had been awake for some time, but had yet to pull himself out of bed. He stared at the ceiling, watching the sun trying to invade the room from over the tops of the long, dark-blue drapes. As he lay there, stroking his muscled abdomen partially hidden beneath the sheet, he thought about his new tenant.
    By now, he’d gotten used to the fact that Capri was going to be no less than a hundred feet from him. Still, he debated whether to pursue her. Of course, he knew it would inevitably lead to trouble, but he also knew that fact had never stopped him before. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been alone with a beautiful woman in his home and not made love to her. It was refreshing, but Tiberius knew he had Capri to thank for that. She was so laid-back and easy to talk to. He’d never realized how nice a conversation with a woman could be without all the sexual innuendo that almost always came into play.
    A devious smirk added a sinister element to his honey-toned features. He still couldn’t get over how lovely she was, how provocative. He had to admit that Capri had something different. Whether he was simply infatuated or that something different was really genuine, he didn’t know. She was like a cross between innocentlittle girl and seductive temptress. The mixture was very intoxicating.
    Tiberius closed his eyes and produced a vivid picture of Capri Timmons in his mind. It was surprising that a woman like that didn’t have a man in her life. Thinking about her had surely awakened his desire. Tiberius groaned when his gaze settled to the crisp sheet lying low across his hips. It had risen into the tell-tale tent shape. Dragging himself out of bed, he decided it was time for a cold shower.
     
    “Oh, baby, don’t be that way!”
    “Cutie, come on over here and lemme talk to ya!”
    Pepper laughed and waved at the men calling to her. She’d just arrived at Capri’s building and assumed all the huge, burly men lifting furniture were movers. Of course, they couldn’t resist shouting compliments or stopping to watch her walk by.
    Pepper, however, never minded things like that. She just laughed, tossed her thick hair over her shoulder and sauntered away to Capri’s place.
    “Hey, girl, what’s up?” she called to Capri when she found her in the kitchen.
    “Morning. You ready to work?” Capri asked, sounding very chipper.
    “Where do I start?”
    “Well…let’s see.” Capri sighed, looking around the cluttered kitchen. “I’m almost through wrapping the glasses, so next are the dishes and I’ll be done.”
    “Damn, Cappy.” Pepper sighed, leaning against the counter. “I can’t believe all this happened so fast.”
    “I know, I never thought when I moved out of here I’d ever be moving into a house.”
    “So what’s your new landlord like?”
    A mischievous smirk appeared on Capri’s face. “Actually, you already met him.”
    “’Scuse me?”
    Capri cleared her throat and packed the last of the glasses away in a box. “Dr. Tiberius Evans is the same guy we saw in the restaurant, sitting at the bar. I told you I figured I had him pegged.”
    Pepper frowned, as she took a moment to remember the day of that particular lunch date. Soon though, realization dawned and her eyes widened. “Nooo? Cap, you’re just lyin’ to me, right?”
    “Wrong.”
    “Damn, you are the luckiest person I know.”
    “Then you don’t know very many people.”
    Pepper shook her head as she began to wrap the plates. “I can’t believe that fine-ass man is
