Here’s a brief excerpt from the story The Rooftop

Who says making love must stay behind closed doors? Demi and Ben realize that if there’s a chance of being caught, sex can be twice as thrilling, but having the stars as the only witnesses can be exhilarating too.

The Rooftop

Later, too wired to go to bed, Demi grabbed a bottle of beer, and wearing just her bra and panties, she slipped out the kitchen window and onto the roof. She glanced curiously at her new neighbor’s window glowing softly in the darkness. Turning, she climbed across the shingles to the spot where she could observe the night sky and admire the town’s lights twinkling in the valley.

She sat down on a small ten-by-ten area with the pinnacle of the roof rising behind her. She sipped from her bottle of brew, staring down at the lights in the valley. Would she ever achieve her teaching degree? If it wasn’t for Carol watching Amanda during the afternoons, Demi wouldn’t be able to go to college at all.

A scraping sound drew her attention, and a head popped over the edge of the shingles. The new guy in the building regarded her with surprise.

“Oh, sorry! I had no idea anyone would be up here,” his deep voice rumbled in the darkness.

Demi sprang to her feet.

“I’ll just go back inside.” His gaze wandered along Demi’s body, obviously admiring her silver satin and lace undies.

She backed down the roof towards her window, embarrassment slipping over her skin. “I need to get up early anyway,” she said. Thankful that she worked out regularly, she sensed his gaze on her ass as she climbed through the window.

Standing in the kitchen, Demi listened to the quiet tick of the clock, the slow persistent drip from the faucet, and realized she wanted company. Carol had gone to stay with a friend, and Amanda was in bed for the night. She looked down at her underwear. Her bra and panties covered more than her latest bikini did, so why was she worried about her attire? She grabbed another beer and ducked out the window again.

The guy looked up, surprise spreading across his face. Demi offered him the beer and sat down next to him. “Demi Harris,” she said, holding out her hand.

He favored her with an intoxicating smile and shook her hand. “Benjamin Cody, but everybody calls me Ben.” He pointed at the sky. “Sometimes I come up here to study the stars with my telescope. I work for my brother’s construction company, but I’m hoping to make a career in Astrology.”

“You don’t have a major,” Demi asked, her curiosity piqued?

He shook his head and pointed at the crescent moon.  “Anything related to studying the beauty up there is fine with me.”

Smiling, she told him about her plans of one day teaching grade school.

“What grades would you like to teach?” His warm brown eyes made something quiver inside her.

“Maybe fifth or sixth graders. At that age, they’re inquisitive and a lot of fun.” She rubbed at the goose bumps along her legs.

“Is the little girl I see you with your daughter?” Ben asked. His gaze kept straying to her breasts.

“Yes,” she said and fought not to smile at his struggle to look at her face instead of her tits. “I was supposed to get married straight out of high school, but someone blonder and leggier got Mr. Right’s attention. I decided I would raise Amanda on my own while I worked towards my degree.” She liked how Ben kept stealing glances at her body. His smooth, clean-shaven face, chocolate brown eyes, and sexy smile inspired a heat that pooled in her belly and moistened her panties.

They talked through a six-pack. Soon, Ben noticed the waning moon, and said, “It’s getting late. I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow.”

Demi jumped up. “Good grief! I have to get up early and work the breakfast shift! I’ll never get my ass out of bed in the morning.” She gathered up the empty bottles, but couldn’t hold them all in her small hands.

“Here.” Ben took half the bottles from her. “I’ll carry the rest inside for you.”
