Chapter One

Sara threw her phone on the bed and sighed, the romance she was reading made her heart ache. She stood up to stretch even though the book was calling to her. ‘Pick me up,’ it whispered, making her breath come a little faster as she thought of love that would last a lifetime.

With greedy fingers, she picked her phone up again going to the App to read the last few lines of the book.

Rylan…

No more worries for tonight, mate. I wish to know what the King meant when he talked about being bossed around by his mate.

I can help you with that. She flipped him on his back and crawled on top of him.

A soft smile tugged at her lips at the images she had of what happened next. With a well-worn sigh, she went to stand in front of the mirror taking a look at herself. Forgetting she had a body for the moment, she took a look at her hair. The silver highlighting the darkness of it. The word ‘old’ hovered in the air before she knocked it down with her cane and stepped on it.

Laughter floated around her as she looked at the image in her mind. There was no cane for her even if some her age used them. The sigh she was a little too familiar with came back. Running her hands through her hair, she examined the silver in it again. She liked the way it looked, the way the silver sparkled in the light. It was a natural highlight; she knew some people would pay hundreds of dollars to get what mother nature had given her for free.

How many times had she wanted to tell them just live long enough and they would get where she was? She had lived a long, long time. The laughter was back making her belly shake just a little. Who said sixty was old? Her gram had lived to be well over a hundred and so had her gram’s mother as well as her gram’s sister.

Sixty wasn’t old, it was just a mental thing and darn it she was tired of giving in to it.

You just need a big, thick, long c…

Sara cut off the she-devil that lived within her. Her mind refused to remember that they were ‘Senior citizen age.’ That freaking AARP card she carried in her wallet should have been enough of a reminder but of course, it wasn’t, she still thought of herself as young. The only thing she didn’t have in her life was a big, thick, long…argh, she was making herself crazy.

She changed her clothes, threw on a pair of shoes, and decided she was all about the shopping. It didn’t take long to reach the outskirts of Newburg where all the malls were.

Newburg was such a small town not much happened there, but for some reason the citizens always made her freak meter light up. That’s why, after all these years, she only stepped into the actual town a handful of times. The area between her shoulder blades always tingled and the palms of her hands felt like they were on fire. With a shudder, she turned her mind to the shopping she was going to accomplish today.

True, she was alone and had been that way for some time. Things didn’t work out between her and her husband, and after the divorce she raised the most beautiful baby girl. Of course, she wasn’t a baby now, but as far as she was concerned Annie would always be her baby.

The phone rang. Answer. Annie had gone crazy at the thought of her mother talking and driving so she gave her an earpiece for Christmas.

Mom, where are you? Annie’s voice came over the line making Sara smile.

I’m on my way to the mall, Dear.

Please tell me you’re going to buy some new clothes.

Sara looked down at what she was wearing and winced. For reasons she couldn’t explain, she had fallen into the I should look my age mentality. But to be honest, she didn’t think people a hundred years old looked the age she did when she was wearing these clothes. A new wardrobe was needed pronto.

Yes Dear, I am planning on buying some new clothes.

Mom. I’m begging you, please don’t buy anything that makes you look like you’re a thousand-years-old.

A smile tugged at Sara’s mouth. That was her Annie; she believed her mom was still sexy and should show it. She didn’t understand that with every year of raising her without a male in her life she had curled up into herself and forgotten she was a woman. She spent so much time as a mother, it was hard for her to entertain any other kind of label.

All right, Annie, I am going to buy some new clothes and they are going to be so scandalous you’ll wish for my old wardrobe.

Maybe…or maybe I will come get you, bring you to New York, and take you to all the parties to show you off.

That sounds nice, Baby. Kiss your husband and my grandson for me.

I will, Mom. When are you coming to visit?

Soon, Baby, soon.

Love you Mom, talk to you later.

You too, Dear.

The click on the phone was a little depressing, but she was used to living away from Annie now even though it felt like she didn’t have anything to live for some days.

A car full of young people sped past her making her grip the wheel tighter to stay on the road. A small smile hovered on her lips as her heartbeat raced. Youth, she thought with a shake of her head. They had no idea what a blessing it was to be young and how fast youth could slip through your fingers. She found a space and parked quickly. The first store was calling her name.

Walking in, she gave the sales lady a smile and began pulling things off the hangers. Yeah, she didn’t wear the same size as when she was younger, but she refused to dwell on that.

With a pair of jeans on and a nice pullover, she went to look in the large mirror they had right outside the dressing room. A sad shake of her was all she could give. Yeah, jeans are nice, but something about the way they looked on her was discouraging.

Dropping onto the bench in her changing room, her head fell into her hands as she blinked back the sorrow that threatened to overflow from her eyes.

A picture of her ex swam before her. How she thought he was the finest thing she had ever seen when he walked up to her holding a flower. His sexy smile made her heart beat faster. She could still remember his voice as he said his name was Jim. His name was doodled all over the house, and her mom had teased her about falling in love, all she could do was blush.

Fast forward ten years. Sara was thirty years old with a two-year-old daughter. Jim walked into the house not looking near as fine anymore. With a grin, the one that said he hated her, he informed her that he was leaving; he found someone who loved him. Someone who would do the things she wouldn’t do. Just like that, it was all over except for the divorce and the fight about child support which he never paid.

She always wanted to do those things, dreamed about doing those things, but he never kept himself clean enough for her to want to try them with him.

Standing, she stripped off the clothes. Who was she fooling?

It just wasn’t in her nature to please a man. Standing in front of the mirror, she took a brutal inventory of her body. Her face had laugh lines and a few wrinkles that told everyone she was older than thirty, but it wasn’t a bad looking face. Her mouth was still sensual, and her eyes were still a pretty green.

Her body wasn’t thin like it used to be; she packed on twenty pounds, really thirty but who was counting. Her rear was larger, but it was still shaped like a C, just a larger one. Her breasts were no longer petite B’s; no they had ballooned up to C’s, but they looked good and were still mostly firm. The upper body exercises helped with that. Dropping her eyes to her belly, shaking her head was all she could do. There were no bikinis in her future. Although she should be upset, if she was honest she felt like her fairy godmother had taken her wand and made her more feminine. Now if only said godmother could give her a male with a thick, long, hard…back to reality.

Jim had never been a good lover. She wondered if saying that in the privacy of her head made her seem bitter. In the end, he was the one who remarried, not her. So maybe she was the one who wasn’t good with intimacy. Lord knows she tried.
