Now, I had cheating on my mind.

The sun was already beating down on the court as I waited for my old friend Mike’s daughter, Ginny. This would be her first tennis lesson and also the first time I’d seen her since she was a tomboy — with scraped knees from tree-climbing.

Then… she walked in.

I knew she wouldn’t be that little sparky kid I remembered, but I was completely unprepared for the siren that arrived.

She was tall, with endless legs and breasts that had their own mind even in a sports bra. Her hips swayed with a confidence that made me feel my forty-five years all at once. She had this wild, curly hair that framed her face and her lips turned up slightly at the corners, in a playful, knowing smile.

I was stunned, my thoughts a jumble.

“Hey, John! Long time,” she said, her voice warm and bright.
