fulfilling. She thought that if she put her energy into a new project she might be able to forget about Matt and settle down in her current life again.
    “And I think the timing is pretty good, for us I mean. Kyle’s going to be off at college next year.”
    “The timing’s great, as far as I’m concerned,” Hank said. “Financially, we’re very secure. We would definitely be in a good position to make an investment. Put some money into the place. Get you a really good start.”
    She looked up at him. She was so grateful. He was always so good to her. All she had to say was that she was thinking of opening a restaurant and he was ready to support her a hundred percent. She had to remember to appreciate things like that. Hank didn’t thrill her, he didn’t make her dizzy with desire and lust, but he was a good man and dependable.
    “I’ll call Matt,” Hank said.
    “What?” Veronica almost fell off her chair. Why was he bringing up Matt? “Why?”
    “You’re going to need a contractor. The first job will be finding the perfect location, and you’ll need Matt’s help with that.”
    Veronica wanted to walk out the back door, cross the patio, and jump into the pool. The entire point of this project had been to get her mind off Matt. It seemed that wasn’t going to happen no matter what she did!

    T RUDY FELT THE COOL BREEZE of the evening flow through her hair. It was her favorite time of night, just as people were going to bed. Everything was peaceful. Everything was quiet. All of the hustle and bustle of the day was over. Whatever people spent their lives doing would have to wait till the next morning. This was a time for fantasies and desires to take over.
    She was on her balcony looking out over her pool. The Roycroft’s house was right beyond the metal railing. She could see the patio behind their kitchen. She knew every room of that house. She’d been a good friend of Veronica’s for so many years that she knew virtually everything about that house. She’d even watched Kyle mature into adulthood. She’d been there the day he started high school. She could still remember reassuring Veronica that he’d do well in school. And now she was preparing to pounce on him again. She was going to have so much pleasure and he was going to give it to her. There was something so perfect about seducing a boy she’d known from such a young age. There was a time when Trudy never would have imagined sleeping with a younger man. She’d liked older, more mature men. But after the marriage she had, that changed. When she got her divorce she’d become the typical, stereotype cougar, making up for lost time by sleeping with as many younger men as she could possibly get her hands on. But now she felt she’d found an even better way to reclaim the lost years of her youth. Her best friend’s child! He was of age. There was nothing illegal about seducing him. But the fact that she was skirting so close to the edge of what was acceptable by society gave her such a thrill that it almost overwhelmed her.
    She reached down under her skirt and touched her panties. She was tingling with anticipation.
    She picked up her phone and texted Kyle.
    —I need your help.
    She pressed send and then waited, watching the moon rise over the bluffs at the end of her property. It was a perfect night to seduce a boy, she thought.
    —What is it?
    She’d been certain he’d reply. What eighteen-year-old boy wouldn’t reply to a woman who was willing to do for him what she wanted to do?
    —I need a man. I’m all alone here.
    She knew she didn’t need much of a pretext to get Kyle to come over. He’d be able to slip out and meet her without his mother noticing. Her phone beeped.
    —Do you need me?
    —I’m desperate for you.
    She grinned wickedly as she sent the message. She couldn’t wait for him to get there. She was going to make him feel so good that he would worship her for the rest of his life. She wanted to be his first true
