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.
Her plan was a bit devious, but if she read him correctly, she doubted that Corey would protest much. It was bold to be sure, but setting it in motion would leave no doubt as to whether or not he was as interested in her as she was in him. Jessie placed the order and then sat back with a sigh. The two-day wait was gonna be brutal!
Somehow, she survived, though. The big day had finally arrived. Jessie put Trixie in the downstairs powder room to keep her from escaping again, and then curled up on the couch with her iPad. She queued up a playlist of music videos on YouTube to pass the time. After watching two of the videos, a burst of inspiration hit her. She ran up the stairs, peeled off her clothes, and jumped into a hot shower. She lathered up her body with rose water scented body wash, and then shampooed her hair. It was a quicker shower than she preferred, but she didn't want to risk missing Corey. She dried herself off, and then wrapped a towel around her head. Once she was satisfied that her face looked perfect, she grabbed her bright blue silk robe from the hook on the back of the bathroom door. A smile crossed her lips as she tied it around her. She had decided to go commando. The thought of nothing but a thin piece of silk between her and Corey turned her on. Jessie picked up a bottle of nail polish from on top of her dresser, and headed back downstairs. She painted her fingernails to music videos as she waited for her man. Or at least the guy she wanted to
make
her man, she corrected herself.
Even though she was expecting him, the sound of the doorbell still made her jump. She hushed Trixie as she walked past the powder room to the front door. Jessie peeked between slats of the window shade to make sure it was Corey, and then adjusted the neckline of the robe to reveal as much cleavage as possible while remaining semi-decent. She cleared her throat, and then opened the door.
"Oh my gosh, Corey," she gasped, putting a hand to her chest. "I didn't expect you to come so early!"
Liar
, she mocked herself. She resisted the urge to giggle at her use of the word 'come'. She toyed with telling him she wasn't wearing any panties, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Corey shrugged. "Yeah, I know. Light load today." He held the package out to her. "Here ya go, Jessie."
She pursed her lips as she looked down at the box. "I hate to ask this, but can you do me a huge favor?"
"Sure, what?"
Jessie scrunched up her shoulders, embarrassed by the favor she was about to ask. "Would you mind opening it for me?" She held up her hand and wiggled her fingers. "My nails aren't dry yet," she explained.
"No problem!" Corey pulled a box cutter from his pocket and slit the top of the box. He reached inside and pulled out a smaller box. It was a 'personal massager'. There he was, standing in front of a gorgeous woman dressed in nothing but a silk robe, holding a vibrator. He wanted to jump her right then and there, but there were laws against such behavior.
Show me how you'll use this,
he suggested telepathically.
Jessie slapped her hand over her mouth, wide-eyed. "Oh my God, I'm so sorry! I thought my pens were coming today, not," she winced "
that
!"
Corey chuckled. "Your pens?"
Yeah, right
