\u201cHarden Handy,\u201d I announce, holding out a hand to introduce
\nmyself. The woman who answers the door is built like a pinup girl\u2014hourglass
\nshape, pert breasts, and eyeglasses\u2014but the tightness of her smile gives away
\nher age as do the stripes of gray in her hair. I\u2019d place her just above forty
\nlike myself.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cNice place you have,\u201d I say, noting the open-concept layout
\nas I follow her. Clean lines, water-tone colors, a real beach house minus the
\nbeach. It\u2019s Florida but not every home is on the coast. This is an older
\nneighborhood, meaning the majority of the residents are old. I\u2019m talking
\nretirees and geriatrics, but not her.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe issue\u2019s in the bathroom,\u201d she states, leading me down a
\nhallway. I\u2019m not a plumber by trade. I was formerly in construction, but the
\nmarket in southern Florida is either feast or famine. To make ends meet, I
\nbegan working odd jobs, handyman style.<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019m here as a favor, and I can see I\u2019ve walked in on a
\nmess\u2014sink cabinet open and faucet handle missing.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI was able to shut the water off myself yesterday,\u201d she
\nsays.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cLooks good,\u201d I lie. It looks like she broke the
\nfaucet.\u00a0As I begin assessing the damage, she leans against the doorjamb.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYou know, I was surprised when Lana told me about you. You
\nreally are a legit handyman.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
I try not to flinch. I\u2019d like to say I don\u2019t know what she
\nmeans, but I do. I helped a friend of mine a time or two and met Lana
\nBlasen,\u00a0her<\/i>\u00a0friend. Is she accusing me of something?<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI\u2019m the real deal,\u201d I tease, lowering for the base cabinet.
\nMy knees crack with the effort.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSo you\u2019re a gigolo?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
I pause, the term startling, but I\u2019ve been called worse.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThe sixties called. They want their word back,\u201d I
\ntease.\u00a0She\u2019s silent a second, and when I look up, I feel bad, as if\u00a0I<\/i>\u00a0insulted
\nher instead of her insulting me.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI was just curious,\u201d she says quietly, and now I feel extra
\nbad. Slowly, I stand to my full height. I\u2019m taller than her by half a foot at
\nleast. She\u2019s barefoot but still dressed in a tight skirt and fancy blouse.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cIt isn\u2019t called that, or maybe it still is, if I were a
\nmale hooker or a player, or whatever, but I\u2019m not like that.\u201d I don\u2019t know why
\nI\u2019m defending myself to this woman I don\u2019t know, even if she is a friend of
\nLana\u2019s. Maybe it\u2019s been the most recent events. I\u2019d been with the same couple a
\nfew times.\u00a0They<\/i>\u00a0called me. James warned me to take on only the
\nmost stable of married couples or recommendations from others, and this couple
\nwas on shaky ground at best.<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019m a swinger. The third party at the table set for a
\nthreesome.\u00a0But recently, I\u2019ve been in a funk. The last scene broke me a
\nbit, especially after the guy broke my nose. I don\u2019t blame him. No husband
\nwants his wife to say the other guy in the bedroom is better than him.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t mean to offend you.\u201d She pauses, reflecting on
\nsomething near her feet, and then her expression changes as though she\u2019s
\nchanged her mind about what she would say next. \u201cI\u2019ll be down the hall, if you
\nneed anything. My son is at his father\u2019s tonight, so there\u2019s no rush here. Take
\nyour time.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
I watch her walk away in that hip-hugging skirt and loose
\nblouse, open an extra button close to her cleavage. Curious, she said.
\nI\u2019m\u00a0curious\u00a0<\/i>about her, but she didn\u2019t call for the handyman
\nspecial, only this plumbing disaster.<\/span><\/div>\n
An hour later, I have things temporarily fixed, but she
\nneeds a new faucet. \u201cIf I could show you what I did,\u201d I suggest, interrupting
\nher once I find her sitting at her dining room table. She nods, removing her
\nglasses and I gaze down at them.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cGetting older sucks,\u201d she teases. \u201cThey say the eyesight is
\nthe first thing to go.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYou aren\u2019t old.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t fishing for a compliment,\u201d she states, good
\nnatured but still self-deprecating.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSo if I tell you you\u2019re beautiful, you\u2019ll take it?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
She tilts her head as she stands to follow me to the
\nbathroom. \u201cIf you aren\u2019t a player, you are charming.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Once back inside the bathroom, I explain, \u201cYou\u2019ll need to
\nturn the handle only this far or it will snap again. If you pick out a new
\nfaucet, I can come back and install it another day.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
She reaches for the handle to test it, and without thinking,
\nI reach for her hand as well, covering it as we collectively twist the knob.
\nLike a toaster dropped in a full tub, electricity ripples up my arm, the
\nconnection stronger than anything I\u2019ve ever felt. We look at one another at the
\nsame time, and I\u2019m certain she felt it as well, but she draws back, resting her
\nbody on the doorjamb again.<\/span><\/div>\n
Her eyes search mine, and I know that look. The hungry
\ncuriosity of the forbidden. \u201cTell me how it works.\u201d She doesn\u2019t mean the
\nfaucet.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis isn\u2019t why I\u2019m here,\u201d I remind her.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d The sadness in her eyes squeezes at my chest.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAnd Lana told you?\u201d I question. I\u2019m not upset Lana shared
\nwith others what I did for her and James, but it also isn\u2019t friendly conversation.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cShe only mentioned the basics. No details.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cAnd you aren\u2019t married? Boyfriend who can kick my ass?\u201d Her
\neyes widen, taking in my size. I\u2019m six feet one, solid and stocky, or so I\u2019m
\ntold. I\u2019d hold my own in a fight. The broken nose caught me off guard. \u201cAre you
\nupgrading to the handyman special?\u201d I ask.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cDoes it cost more?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cNot a thing.\u201d I laugh. \u201cAnd that\u2019s the first difference,\u201d I
\njoke.<\/span><\/div>\n
She slowly smiles. The melancholy still in her eyes and her
\nexpression anxious.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI start with an assessment of your needs. As this is a
\nplumbing job, we can use this as the scenario.\u201d My voice lowers, but I wink to
\nrelax her. \u201cI\u2019m going to ask you some questions, and you answer with your
\ncomfort level, guiding how far we go.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
She nods.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cI need you to verbally agree.\u201d I typically have consent
\nforms for legalese and understanding on both sides, but I\u2019m making an exception
\nhere. She isn\u2019t a regular at this.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cYes, Mr. Harden.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I smile at the formality. \u201cYou can just call me Andrew.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Lana Brazen is the alter ego of a bestselling contemporary romance
\nauthor who believes romance doesn\u2019t need to end just because you crossed over
\nforty. In a fantasy life, she was an anthropologist, a journalist and a
\nworld-famous novelist on the level of F. Scott Fitzgerald. None of that has
\nhappened. Instead, she\u2019s written over twenty romances, mothered four children
\nand remains with the one and only. Sometimes, she likes things a little hotter,
\nspicier, raunchier than contemporary trysts, and so begins this chapter.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
