To look at him, and women love to look, he&#8217;s a ripped athlete who takes care of himself and has it all together.<br \/>\nOnly his next door neighbor knows the truth; Maverick suffers from PTSD.<br \/>\nEverly Winterfell is almost invisible, blending into the crowd is fine by her. She&#8217;s a hero too, not the kind who wears a cape, but the kind who isn&#8217;t afraid to dig for the truth and expose it for all to see. Everly&#8217;s alter ego is Eve Winters, an award winning journalist who doesn&#8217;t seek the limelight, she&#8217;s content with writing stories that change people&#8217;s lives without drawing any attention to herself.<br \/>\nNothing much escapes Everly, she has a talent for seeing beneath the surface, reading people for who they really are. From her vantage point in Apartment #701, she has learned that the occupant in #702 is lonely. He has a habit of pushing people away before they can get too close, especially women. Maverick can offer a woman great sex, Everly can vouch for that fact. The walls are thin between #701 and #702 and many nights she has lain there wishing she was on the receiving end of his attention. He&#8217;s intrigued by his odd little neighbor, who seems to want to be his wingman and he has no idea that her ulterior motive is to be his friend. After some negotiations, they strike a deal &#8211; she&#8217;ll find him women who know the score, who won&#8217;t expect more than he can give, and in return he&#8217;ll see if he can advise her on how to attract a man for herself. To facilitate their odd arrangement, they install a chalkboard on the narrow wall separating their front doors, leaving messages about their shared adventures.<br \/>\nThe more time they spend together, the less important finding dates for the other becomes. Everly and Maverick discover they share a chemistry that\u2019s off the charts, they can\u2019t keep their hands off one another. There\u2019s only one problem \u2013 Maverick has no idea Everly is his secret obsession, Eve Winters. Sometimes what we need is right in front of our face.

Everly.\u201d He opened his eyes expecting to see flashes of gunfire and explosions from IED\u2019s. Instead, he looked into delicate features, eyes warm with concern. \u201cEverly?\u201d \u201cYou were dreaming,\u201d she whispered. Fuck, he was dreaming now. \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d She kept her hand on Maverick, seeking to soothe him. \u201cI heard you through the wall.\u201d Standing up, she stood next to the bed. \u201cDo you want some water before I go?\u201d \u201cDid I hurt you?\u201d He grabbed her hand, pulling her back down to sit on the bed. She twined her fingers with his. \u201cNo, of course not.\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t go.\u201d His hand came up to weave itself in her hair. \u201cWhere\u2019s the whale spout, Tink?\u201d \u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d she whispered as his other hand skimmed up under her shirt, caressing the soft skin of her back. \u201cI need you,\u201d he pulled her head down until their lips met. Now Everly thought she was the one who must be dreaming. Could this be real? His mouth moved on hers, a gentle graze that made it hard to breathe. She wanted to kiss him back so badly she could die. \u201cOpen.\u201d His demand made every nerve ending in her body spark to life. There was no way on God\u2019s green earth she could resist this man, she wanted him too much. Tentatively, she responded to his strength, his passion. Parting her lips, she touched the tip of her tongue to his and he groaned, pulling her to the bed beside him. Everly\u2019s blood raced through her veins. She craved him \u2013 she craved his touch and she craved to touch him. Clutching his shoulders, she began to kiss him back with desperate intensity. Her surrender seemed to free something within him. Maverick began to devour her lips and she trembled as his big hands roamed all over her body. Never had she been kissed this way. His mouth on hers was the single most wonderful thing that had ever happened to her. A haze of desire clouded Maverick\u2019s brain. Her body was soft and warm as his mouth blazed a trail across her face and down her throat. When his lips brushed the pulse point that betrayed her excitement, he knew he wanted more. Feeling the evidence of her surrender beating against his lips sent a hot rush of hunger to his cock. \u201cYou feel so good, baby.\u201d Returning his mouth to hers, he kissed her as his hand found her breast underneath her shirt. Cupping the small mound, he pulled and tweaked the nipple until she shivered in his arms. When he removed his hand, she whimpered her disappointment until his teasing touch edged up her thigh. \u201cMaverick?\u201d \u201cShhhh, this dream is so much better than the one I just left.\u201d Waking up wasn\u2019t an option. He wanted this, he needed this. The fire between them was so unexpected he was shaking from it. His fingers were hovering very near paradise. He could already feel her heat. \u201cDo you want me?\u201d Please, God, say yes. \u201cOh, yes, I want you.\u201d Maverick tried to catch his breath. \u201cTake this off.\u201d He tugged on her shirt. Everly sat up, glancing around the room, then at him. There wasn\u2019t a lot of light in the room, but he\u2019d be able to see her well enough. \u201cAre you sure?\u201d \u201cNow.\u201d She was of the firm opinion that she looked better clothed than naked, but his insistence pushed her doubts away. Skimming the shirt over her head, one hand instinctively came up to cover her breasts. \u201cDon\u2019t. I need this,\u201d he muttered, grasping the offending arm blocking his view and pushing it over her head. In the dim light, his eyes focused on her breasts. Bending his head, he brushed his face against their soft swell, letting his lips rub over them. The woman was petal soft all over. Her breasts swelled at his touch, she couldn\u2019t believe this was happening. Her voice caught in her throat, but she managed to speak. \u201cMaverick?\u201d \u201cHush.\u201d He rubbed his thumb over her nipple, his mouth crashing into hers, kissing Everly until she had no breath left. Everly thought she would swoon. Her whole body lifted to his as he stroked and teased her breasts. She was shaking with need when his mouth finally closed over the aching peak, sucking the tender bud between his lips, grazing it lightly with his teeth. With a moan, she clutched his shoulders even as he passed a soothing lick over the sensitive spot. Maverick was consumed with desire. He wanted all of her. Bare breasts. Swollen lips. She was amazing and totally at his mercy. With unsteady hands, he covered her tits \u2013 cupping, kneading, relishing their weight and warmth. \u201cFeel good?\u201d \u201cOh, yes,\u201d she moaned, arching her back. This was a fantasy, it had to be. His blood pounded through his head making him dizzy as he felt her gasp when he closed his lips around her, taking as much of her delectable tit into his mouth as he could. Her hands clasped his head, she begged for more and Maverick thought he would cum on the sheets if he didn\u2019t get inside of her soon. \u201cI can\u2019t wait,\u201d he murmured, rising into position over her. The lights from outside filtered through the drapes and he could see her face with her heart in her eyes. \u201cDon\u2019t wait.\u201d Maverick couldn\u2019t misinterpret the invitation when she shed a tiny pair of panties, then wrapped her legs around his hips. \u201cI want you so much. Just remember, I\u2019m not too good at this.\u201d \u201cExperience not required.\u201d Running a hand between them, he made sure she was wet. Oh, hell yeah. She was ready and he was trembling, burning and aching to bury himself deep inside of her. Going to his knees, he took himself in hand, gliding the head of his cock through the slick heat of her pussy. Maverick held himself steady, muscles quivering, as he pressed into her, working himself in inch by inch. She was small and tight. His eyes crossed from the pleasure. \u201cOkay?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m good.\u201d Yes, she was. Her little body seemed to grasp onto his greedily, as he pulled out, then slid all the way back in. \u201cOh, fuck,\u201d he moaned, holding himself stiff. Supporting his weight by his arms, he gave himself time to get a grip. Beneath him, she wasn\u2019t still. She held onto him tightly, urging him to move. And when he did \u2013 rocking, pumping \u2013 bucking his hips, the pleasure on her face was the biggest aphrodisiac of all. This was so good. He wanted it to last as long as possible. But his body had other ideas. Once he got started, he couldn\u2019t stop or slow down. Maverick was helpless in the grip of ecstasy. He thrust deep, pumping harder, faster until she cried out, bowing her back and quivering in his arms. He was powerless but to follow, completely lost in the wonder of his midnight dream. After he\u2019d cum, Maverick pulled her into his embrace, the act of release seeming to give him peace. Everly held him close, marveling at what had transpired. A small smile played on her lips. Tingles of elation mixed with shivers of remorse. He\u2019d been in the throes of a nightmare when she\u2019d come to his bed, offering him comfort. Oh, he\u2019d taken it all right. The only problem was that Everly wasn\u2019t sure this was something he\u2019d have done in any other circumstance. Easing out from under him, she made a grab for her shirt, pulling it over her head. When he didn\u2019t move, she felt around in the bed for her panties, but found nothing. \u201cDang it,\u201d she whispered, then froze when he moved again, his hand running over the covers. Was he looking for her? No matter, he wouldn\u2019t find her. Coward that she was, Everly Winterfell backed out of Maverick\u2019s room and retreated to the safety of her own apartment. The cold light of day would tell the tale. If what they\u2019d done together meant something to him, he\u2019d let her know. And if it didn\u2019t\u2026. Well, she\u2019d deal with that when the time came.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sable Hunter is a New York Times, USA Today bestselling author of nearly 50 books in 7 series.
