Living in a city has its ups and downs, good and bad things .. and temptations to explore, all those carnal sins with each corner we turn. Some become complacent and immune, while others seize opportunities.. That’s kind of what this story is about in some obscure sense. How decadent can the human mind get when tempted and teased? Packed like sardines in the city of concrete and steel, sometimes immune to what’s going on around you isn't a good thing.. or is it?

Tyra, a free-lance writer for one of numerous publishers within New York, spent her life with work colored glass blinders on. Working from home, from her car, hell.. some days from her vacation spots even, forever typing her way up the ladder. It sounds more glamorous and adventurous that it really is. She got by, but she wasn't 'known'. Her aim was of course the front page, but she settled for any page after the first four years of beating her heels into the New York concrete.

Up town, down town. From the sprawling northern estates down to the Jersey shore, she hunted that ONE story that would make or break her... In doing so, she doesn't spend much time with the opposite sex. Just her and her teacup poodle, Brutus. Probably the only male she even stops to notice these days. Dedicated or closed off, she gave up trying to have any real relationships with the opposite sex when she always chose work over the man. Not to worry though! She had her handy-dandy BoB... And he didn't snore, eat all her food nor leave socks all over the damned place.. Nope! Bob.. god bless that inventor into heaven! ... kept her sane and SANE!

She had been day dreaming, staring out her apartment window to the barely visible alley below. The window open to let in what breeze the sweltering June sun would allow. Her fan going full bore rustled her hair and small thin top but didn't seem to stave off the damned sweat she was pouring from every where indecent for a lady to mention.. Even talking to herself! Her eyes moved, something had caught her attention down there, but too annoyed with the sweat, she missed whatever it was. However, she did not fail to notice the moving van.

A common sight in this area of New York. Packed like sardines, the apartments lining both sides of the street were each five stories tall, all identical and all tightly pushed together and owned by what had to be nearing 'slum lord' status. A trash truck barely managed to squeeze through each week down there, surprised to see a U-Haul made it attached to some manly looking truck... judging from the bit of truck bed she could see.

Her eyes never wandered across to the vacant windows not more than 20 feet from hers. It just didn't interest her nor dawn on her she might just be getting a new neighbor.. They wouldn't speak, wouldn't ask each other for eggs or sugar. It wasn't done here. She'd lived in the building she was in and this apartment for seven years, she didn't know who was on the other side of her walls, let alone across an alley.. That might as well have been across town in her world. So she paid it no mind when the lights came on across from her. Didn't spare it a thought that the bedrooms lined up, nor the small living room window would as well. She hadn't had a neighbor across from her in seven years.

"Brutus stop that!" She scolded as the pup jumped onto her bed and began digging. At the sound of her voice and icy blue eyes, he halted... for now at least. Turning back to her laptop, her desk growing ever more uncomfortable, she stared at the flashing cursor, hoping for some kind of epiphany. Lifting her brown thick mane from the back of her neck, she sat up from her slouch enough to grab a little hair tie. Scooping the clinging mass into a haphazard knot, she tied it up and out of the way. Fingers brushing a wisp of stray hair from her eyes, she replaced her rounded fingertips back to the keys for one more chance at something respectable for tomorrow's issue of some teen magazine knock off done here locally.

"Perhaps some pointless air headed.." She paused to make air-quotes, "ten ways to make your best friends boyfriend notice you." She sighed, her fingers moving to rub the bridge of her nose and between her eyes. She was growing restless in the heat.

True Temptations

As Logan made the last trip from the U-haul trailer, he looked into the box he was carrying and chuckled as he saw a pink dog leash. Yeah, his sister would be hunting for that all over her house and claiming that Kevin, her absent minded husband had lost it. He had told her that morning he didn't need her little furball in the way while he was loading up the last of his belongings into the trailer. So, what did his sister do? Of course, Tinker was there and announced it to everyone with her yapping. He made a mental note to give her a call later and let Kevin off the hook.

He hit the remote of his keychain, locking the doors to his truck and bounded up the stairs. Entering his third floor "new" apartment, he muttered to himself, "could it get any fuckin hotter?" He had the a/c going full blast but it had yet to break 80 degrees, he knew this from all the times he passed the thermostat in the hallway. Swearing at it each time! He set the box down on his bed and went to the window, hoping that there would be some breeze to help cool things off. He raised the blinds and realized he had his very first house guest...an angry wasp that didnt seem to care for his new host.

After finally herding the little angry bastard out the window, he leaned over and watched it fly off and noticed 2 men down in the alley arguing, over what, he didn't know since neither spoke English. He started to raise up, and thats when he saw her. She was directly across the alley in the apartment that mirrored his own. She was an attractive brunette tying her hair up in a ponytail. She was glancing out the window and he realized that her place was obviously as warm as his, by the way her top clung to her breasts, his eyes taking their time to register what his brain already had. He noticed that her window was open and he started to raise his voice and make some lame comment about the weather to her, but as he straightened up to do so, he banged the back of his head on the bottom of the window and just fell onto his ass back inside his bedroom. Laying there, his skull aching, all he could think of was...oh god, please tell me she did not see that!

Tyra

Her fingers tapping over the keys, so lost in her train of thought as she works that she doesn't hear the overly loud arguement below nor the thud across the way.. Not that any of those sounds could've torn her from her article. Selective hearing a skill one must develop in order to live in such a busy city as New York. Horns, sirens, ambulances, gun fire, car alarms and so many more sounds that one could bet that there were no crickets within the city limits as they TOO could not sleep in all this ruckus!

Shifting, she tugs up her tank top, scratching her fingers across her belly button, her eyes rereading the article start a few times. Furiously back spacing and clicking with the mouse to correct a few typos. She starts to read aloud, but the words arent audible to any in the vacinity but Brutus.

A soft 'wuff' from the pup does little to gain his mistress's attention, her mind on some made up idiotic teen age "do you like me, check yes or no" themed article. The thin 'wife beater' did little to ease the heat wave, her free breasts beneath were literally starting to peek through as her sweat dampened the surface. She paused now and then, to tip her head back and lift her chin. Eyes closing, the brief pass of the fan's kiss passing by for the countless time this month.

Shifting, her hands back to the keys, she continues to ratta-tat-tat out a story of pure fiction, one to hopefully encourage the raging hormonal teens into trying her dating 'dos and donts'. Its only as the sun beings to sink into the western horizon she stops to look around. The alley empty, save for the truck and u-haul, she stretches out across her chair, tipping back deeply, almost enough to send her reeling backwards.

Stiffling a yawn, she peers to Brutus who is laying there with sorrowful eyes, watching her. Perking up when their eyes meet, he leaps up and wags his whole ass end, scampering back and forth with his nose on the floor below. A few passes, maybe a fourth and he jumps down, stumbling a little as he lands but not slowing his little body down, he races to her to leap up at her chair's side.

"Pee break lil man?" She asks, in which she gets the standard Brutus reply, a wuff. Standing, she slips her bare feet into a pair of sandals and looks about for the leash. Happily leaping at her every movement and word, he follows her about with a joy no one else has ever displayed just for her.

"This is why im single and just us lil man." She mumbles as she walks across to her queen sized bed, lifting a blanket discarded at the foot to find his black woven leash. "Always happy to see me... Don't bitch.." She stops, turns and sinks down to her heels as she clips on his leash to a small collar buried in his curly hair. "and don't make a mess..." She cups his little face and lifts it to her own and smiles, "Now to break that leg humping happy-to-meet-you issue.." She ruffles his ears and fur then straightens. Moving across her small apartment, she grabs up her keys and opens the door.

"Well?" She asks the pup waiting in the door way, seemingly in no rush to make it out side as she first thought he was. A moment passes and he finally gets off his duff and follows her out the door. "You best not pee in the hall, I don't feel like scrubbing it tonight.. OR the elevator." She eyes the dog as if he understands her. Making their way down the elevator and front steps, she passes the alley, U-haul and building on her way down a few buildings to a vacant lot.

Wandering around, trying to remain patient as Brutus takes his sweet time marking everything in sight. She studies nothing really, paying no attention to those who walk by as they pay her no mind. She doesn't look at windows of the buildings around her nor make polite conversation as she walks back to her building's main door. Opening the lock with her keys, she winds her way up the stairs this time, three sets to give Brutus and herself SOME exercise, and right back into her now dark apartment.

Turning on the few lights inside, she stops to lock her door behind her. Throwing the lock, deadbolt and chain, she tosses her keys to the stand. Releasing Brutus from the leash, and it too gets tossed to a chair, she goes to the small kitchen to hunt something to eat. Her eyes lifting to the windows she left open, she sighs a little, thinking its a good thing its too hot to be attacked or she's too poor to bother robbing as she left the damned fire escape window open , "Again..." She sighs and shakes her head.

Finding nothing, she calls for pizza to be delivered and settles on her bed. Flipping on the television set, she reclines back with Brutus curling up at her hip. Flipping channels as she waits for delivery, again her attention is taken away from the world around her to focus on some sitcom.

After chuckling about the thought of his sexy new neighbor first laying eyes on him, only to see him bang his head like some clutz, he begins the task of unpacking. There is always such a fresh appeal of moving, then it's all torn away by the reality of unpacking. As he goes about putting things away and hooking up his wireless network, his thoughts steal away to the sight of her breasts. It was just a moment or two but the way her dampened tank top clung to her was too much to get out of his head.

Walking by the window again, he glances out through his window but does not see her about. Always having certain hidden urges of watching women, he begins to imagine just what he could actually see if he was so inclined. Of course, being an investigator for a law firm, he had almost every available gadget needed to see all he wanted.

A devilish grin begins to cross his lips as his mind decides right then that yes, he would see all of this new woman that had just appeared into his life. Where was the bag that held his toys? All of those items that usually caught husbands in the act of cheating on spouses or the idiots who thought they could scam insurance companies out of workers comp payments. Sure they were his tools of the trade but that didnt mean they werent used for more than just business.

Deciding to turn off the lights in his bedroom, after locating his camera with the zoom lens, he slides over his desk chair and sits back just enough so that no light touches his body. Scanning her apartment once again, still seeing nothing, he wonders if shes gone out for the night. "Wonder who else is of interest", he speaks softly to himself as he begins to scan the other windows located in his new world. An elderly old lady standing at the sink in the apartment below, a couple of darkened windows to the right. As he moves the lens back across the windows.. BINGO, "aahhhh, there you are!" he whispers as he sees her pass by one of the windows.

Zooming in he notices she's carrying a dog's leash. He begins to let his thoughts wonder how good she would look completely naked, judging by what he had seen earlier today he knew she had large breasts, almost perfect in shape too. But what about the rest of her, wanting to know more, he follows her as she walks through her apartment. "Mmm, very nice indeed" he says as he snaps a couple pics of her slightly erect nipples standing out against her white tank top.

She was talking to the dog, a very small one he assumed by the size of the leash she had been carrying. He began to move his chair slightly to the side to get a better view of her as she bent all the way over, petting the dog perhaps. A damn fine ass indeed, he noticed as he snapped off a couple more pictures now. She was almost swaying her ass back and forth now, listening to music no doubt but he began to imagine it was intentional, just for him. He was becoming totally fascinated with this woman and the sight of her luscious body.

Just the way she moved her hips to the music and that sexy little way she smiled to the damn dog, and of course the outline of her breasts was enough to make him begin to stir in his pants.
