and strong muscled arms. Her eyes followed a bead of sweat gliding down his well formed shoulders to his sexy stomach. Suddenly she realized she was staring at him and looked away embarrassed. His tan body was utterly perfect, who wouldn't stare? She reasoned with herself. Jaxon could see her watching him. He couldn't believe how beautiful she was. Even now her face devoid of any makeup, her hair pulled back into a pony tail and there was a light sheen to her skin. She was completely sexy. He could feel the sexual passion emitting from her like warm heat on a hot summers day. It was tearing him up to be this close to her and not have her completely as his own. Damn Sadie for getting him into this. All I have to do is the job and be done with it, he told himself. Of course he knew it was a lie. He shut the mower off and walked over to were the girls were cleaning furniture on the patio. He couldn’t help but notice the way Analeigh’s shorts hugged her shapely bottom.
"Oh good, I'm glad you stopped for a while we were just about to have lunch, cold sandwiches OK?" Analeigh said with a smile.
"Sure." Jaxon said wondering if she could see the physical pain she was causing him.
"OK I'll get cleaned up and get started. If you want you can use the upstairs bathroom to wash up." She offered him.
"Alright." He said and walked to the stairs.
"Its the second door on the right from the top of the stairs." Analeigh called after him.
Jaxon made his way upstairs and stopped outside the open door that must be her bedroom. He could see a pair of her blue jeans laying across an old chair, her bed hadn't been made and he could see the imprint of her head on her pillow were she'd slept. He had to force himself to turn away. He found the bathroom and went inside. Jaxon planted his hands on the sink and looked at himself in the mirror.
"You gotta get a grip man." He told himself. He could smell her sweet scent on everything and it was making him crazy. Every time he closed his eyes he could see them together in his bed, tangled in his sheets.
"I have to forget about her." He vowed to himself. There was too much at stake for him to screw it up.
    Analeigh came out of the downstairs bathroom and motioned to Mercedes that it was all hers. As Mercedes went into the bathroom, Analeigh started laying everything out for the sandwiches. She could feel him before she could hear or see him. Analeigh turned around slowly to look at him.
"What would you like on yours?" She asked.
"Everything." He answered.
OK not a big talker, she thought as she went to work on their lunch.
"You can have a seat if you'd like." She offered him then quickly made the sandwiches.
She heard him sit quietly. What is his problem she wondered to herself. If he didn't want to be here nobody was making him.
"Ok lets eat I’m starving!" Mercedes said as she came out of the bathroom grinning.
Analeigh couldn't help notice just how different the two of them really were.
"Just in time, its all ready." Analeigh said as she served her guests lunch.
They ate in an awkward silence for a while.
"So Analeigh, where do you live? I mean before you came here?" Mercedes said breaking the silence.
"I live in Los Angeles."
"Wow, Ravenwood must be really boring for you!" Mercedes commented.
"Oh no, not at all, at home all I did was go to school and hang out with friends. You guys have the same stuff here that I do at home. Movies, parks, oh but one thing I haven't found yet, I take a self defense class twice a week and a dance class once a week." Analeigh told them. She was very surprised when it was Jaxon who answered.
"You might want to check out Marshall's Gym." He said.
"Oh thanks I will."
"Self defense huh?" Mercedes asked.
"Yeah, my dad insists that I take it. I saw a lady get robbed two summers ago, so I didn't argue too much. Although now that I'm here I might give it a rest for a bit."
"Don't give it up." Jaxon said forcefully, startling her.
"What do your parents do? Are they still
