But clearly he hadn’t done his job if this one was co back for more As he watched the assle step out of his car as he shtened his obviously new shirt and slacks, Connor couldn’t help but wonder how dumb the man really was

When the man spotted hirowl had thea step back Because that too pleased hi out of the baggy and tossed it to the dog Rory dared to na sed the treat whole, but never took his eyes away from the assle that refused to step away from behind his car

Like that would protect hih as he walked over to the corner of his large white Victorian home, which happened to be a mere twenty feet away from the corner of Rory’s house, an almost identical house When the hoo they had been identical in every way, except the direction of the layout was opposite in each house The Master bedroom suite of each house had its very own open porch that extended past the walls of the house by ten feet and cut the distance between the two houses to eighteen inches

It wasn’t exactly a surprise that the house were built together since the houses had been built by identical twins The brothers had built the homes for their wives only to discover later that their wives could not stand each other, at least that’s what his realtor had told him Whether or not it was true didn’t really matter to hiravating the piss out of Rory each and every night when she sat out on her porch to relax

When he’d first bought the place, the small strip of land that separated the two properties held not only a tall wood fence that started at the street and ended at the back of the property, but large arboreta trees that were nearly as tall as the house, coht Since he’d bought the house for the entertainment value, he of course had the fence and trees taken down the next day

Rory had been pissed at the tiot over it and focused her attention back on fixing up her house while he did the saet the house the way he wanted it, but it orth it When he first bought the place he’d considered giving it a ht in the place he decided to go hat he thought it inally built It took extra ti, but he was happy with the results

When he originally bought the property he planned on fixing it up and selling it off, having Rory around to torture was just a bonus, but once it was done he knew that he wouldn’t be able to part with it He kneas the sah he’d never seen what she’d done, and god hoanted to see what she’d done, he knew that she loved the house and also changed herwhen the renovations were complete

"Is Rory here?" the man asked as he shifted nervously

"Is she expecting you?" he asked, leaning back against the house as he discretely reached behind the rosebush one of his ex-girlfriends insisted on planting and flipped the switch off of what he liked to call his "Little Box of fun" and settled his fingers over the three black buttons on the small panel

"That’s none of your business," the uess you’ll just have to find out for yourself," Connor said with a careless shrug as he watched the man shoot him a scowl just before he stormed up the ay and damn near jumped out of his skin when Bunny decided to block his path

"Easy," the h it probably should be enough that the dog most likely made the man piss his pants, Connor felt that he needed a little et the hell out of here and never come back

"What the hell!" the man yelled as Rory’s sprinklers came on full blast Connor waited until thehis clothes without of the driveway before he turned her sprinklers off
