Nice (Neighbors book 1) (re-published)

It happened!

I slowly approach his back and begin running my hands along his body, dusting light kisses on his shoulders and nibbling. When he turns around I am met with his best panty-melting smile. He leans down to plant a lingering peck on my lips and begins to stare into my eyes. This causes me to dive back in for more. But when I started to climb him like a tree Brice immediately brought my attempt to heat things up to a halt; this brought a frown to my face.

"We talked about this Elle," he says in his most fatherly tone.

"Ugh!" I yell while detangling myself from him.

"Whoa! Where do you think you're going?" he chuckles while scooping me up with one arm, my back to his front.

"To go have a talk with George" I say slightly annoyed.

"If that's another name for your vibrator that's definitely not happening" he informs me.

"You won't do it so why not let me do it myself" I huff crossing my arms.

"Oh come on I wasn't gonna make you wait much longer" he expresses in an annoyed tone.

"How much longer are going to make me wait?"

Checking his watch "Give me 4 hours, go get your nails and hair done and put on a nice outfit" dropping me on my feet and heading back to the stove to finish what he was doing.

After going to get my hair done and a manicure I paced in front of Shay and Claire in my walk-in closet. They just stared at me as they sat on the chaise lounge about 10 feet away from me. At this point in time I had tried on 15 different outfits and in 30 minutes was when I was supposed to be ready. Dear God what's a girl to do....ask my best bitches I guess.

"Which one looks better" I asked gesturing to the floral fitted sundress and wedges I had on or the more formal option that consisted of a fitted mid-calf skirt with a belt and a strappy cut off top paired with 6inch heels.

"The sundress is fine. Stop stressing!" Claire exclaims. I've known this chick for years and she has always had my back. We met in culinary school where I got my degree in restaurant management and she studied the fine art of cooking itself. Claire is a phenomenal chef that owns her own hugely successful business. After a bad break up about six years ago she busted her ass and we went into business together to open "Voila" . Shay, we met about five years ago when we were at a seminar for starting your own business. She was just starting off in the writing world trying to make a name for herself by having a blog about relationship issues (mostly sex). Since then she has written 3 books (of the romance genre) and is getting a lot of notoriety for her writing skills.

Brice snapped me out of my train of thought by clearing his throat. All I could think when I laid eyes on him was, Dear God he is sex on legs. Dressed in dress-pants with a tucked in long sleeved button down and the top two buttons undone with the sleeves rolled up. I couldn't wait for the night to end.

He steps towards me pulling me into him giving me a searing kiss. The night was starting off great. I wave goodbye to the girls and we head out

He took me to a winery outside of town. It was like something out of a movie. Evenly spaced trees lined the whole property. The road we were on twisted and turned until we ended up in front of the main house on the property. It was a three- story mansion with a small set of stairs leading to a wrap-around porch. I've never see a house this beautiful. It got even better when we saw the inside. This house looked like something out of a Better Home & Garden magazine. When we reach the middle of the living space Brice speaks.

" You like?" he jokes taking in the look of amazement on my face.

"Fuck yes I like. How do you know about this place?" I inquire.
