Working for National Delivery Service (NDS) wasn't a glamourous job by any stretch. There were icy sidewalks, mud puddles, vicious dogs, and an abundance of heavy, awkwardly-shaped boxes to contend with on a daily basis. Even so, Corey liked his job. He enjoyed seeing people smile as he delivered long-awaited packages, and took great pride in finishing his route ahead of schedule. He remembered the exact day his opinion of his job went from "like" to "love" with startling accuracy.
Corey glanced back at the cargo area of his truck. Just one more delivery, he told himself. One look at the nav screen told him he was venturing into a neighborhood on the edge of town. If he remembered correctly, it was a development of newer townhomes. Moments later, he pulled up to the curb of a beautifully landscaped end unit. He whistled softly to himself as he admired the manicured bushes and colorful flowers. Tulips, maybe?
The HOA fees must be a bitch
...
He jumped out of his seat and went to the back of the truck to retrieve the package. It was a smallish box. Amazon Prime. Corey made his way up the shrub-lined walkway to the front door and rang the bell. Yips from a tiny dog made him grin.
"Hello," he said as the door started to open. "I have a delivery for-" His mouth went dry the instant he saw her. The tall, leggy brunette smiled. "Are...are you Jessica Mathis?" Corey asked awkwardly.
"Why yes, I am! I go by 'Jessie' though."
God...that smile
... He stood there, speechless, taking in the sight of her. She wore a pair of denim cut-offs and a bright yellow shirt tied just above her waist. He noticed the sparkle of jewelry on her navel.
Sexy as hell
!
"Ah, good. Nice to meet you, Jessie." He swallowed hard. "Anyway," Corey stammered, "this is for you." He went to hand her the box but was so nervous, he dropped it. "Fuck!" He blushed, mortified by his language. "Shit! I mean, damn..." He cleared his throat. "I'm so sorry," he apologized.
She waved off his concern. "No worries."
"I hope it wasn't breakable..."
"Nah, it's all good."
Corey bent down to pick up the box. "Uh, can we start over?" He flashed what he hoped would be an endearing smile. "Hi! I have a package for you!"
Jessie grinned devilishly. "Why yes, you do," she winked. Her gaze lowered to the bulge between his legs as she reached out to grab the parcel.
Ho. Ly. Shit
. Corey wished her hands were around
his
package rather than the damn Amazon box! Ah, his first on-the-job boner... He couldn't wait to tell the guys this one! He startled as he felt something brush against his leg.
"Trixie!" Jessie dropped the box as she went running after the little dog who escaped the townhouse. "Come back, girl!" The canine made a b-line for the National Delivery Service truck and darted up the steps.
Nice ass
, Corey thought, as he followed the sexy woman who he guesstimated to be roughly his age. Jessie climbed into the truck, Corey hot on her heels. She went into the back, scooped up the dog, and spun around to make her exit, only to run smack-dab into the hunky delivery man. He reached out and touched her elbow to steady her.
"Oh!" Her eyes were wide with surprise. Neither of them moved for several heated seconds. "I'm so sorry," she exclaimed, petting the dog nervously.
Corey shrugged. "Call it even," he winked.
She tilted her head as she looked him straight in the eye." What's your name?" she asked.
Fuck, is she gonna turn me in for the whole swearing thing? It wasn't exactly professional, but
... "It's Corey. Corey Schwartz."
"Well, Corey Swartz, I should probably let you get back to work, huh?"
He was lost in the depths of her big brown eyes. And in her big, full breasts. In that moment, all he wanted to do was fuck her on the dusty floor of the truck. He shook his head to pull himself out of the trance. "Yeah, I suppose..." he said reluctantly. They stood toe-to-toe several more seconds.
"Um, Corey?"
"Hmmm?"
"Uh, I can't walk through you," Jessie giggled.
No, but you can crawl on top of me
! Corey had known Jessie for all of what, five minutes? And already she had him wrapped around her finger. He stepped aside hastily, and then hopped into the driver's seat.
"See ya later, Corey!" she called over her shoulder as she exited the truck. "Thank you for the package!" she waved.
And with that, he was on his way back to the distribution center.

Jessie fell onto the couch, her heart racing. She had to see him again! Corey was literally the first guy she had interacted with in her recent move to town. Was she really that attracted to him, or was she just missing male contact? She squeezed her eyes shut and pictured him standing at her door with the, ahem, "package". A grin spread across her face, giving her an immediate answer to her question. So how could she orchestrate another meetup? The answer was obvious. She grabbed her iPhone off the coffee table, and launched the Amazon app.
