Chapter 1

My landlord's name was Leah Burke. She was in her early 20s and had a smoking hot body with delightfully smooth skin.

Leah often donned dresses of various designs. Whenever she passed by, I could vaguely see the lacey texture of her underwear.

It had been almost a month since I moved in, but she never greeted me whenever we saw each other. She was quite a standoffish beauty.

This afternoon, I signed a big business deal. It delighted my boss so much that he had me get off work early as a reward. Little did I expect to see my gorgeous landlord outside my apartment door.

Leah donned a white dress with a high slit and a pair of stiletto heels, and she wore her hair in a bun. Everything about her appearance made her seem like an angel at that moment.

Her back faced me as she cleaned the staircase with a broom. Because of that, I got to enjoy the sight of her hips whenever she bent forward.

I had rented a small and old-fashioned apartment with no elevators, so the only way to my unit was by taking the stairs. I assumed the apartment would be shabby due to its age, but I was later surprised by how clean it was.

That was thanks to Leah.

Leah cleaned from the top floor's staircase to the ground floor and was getting closer to me. Yet, she didn't notice my presence.

It was unclear if Leah's swaying movements had attracted my attention or if I had simply drunk too much alcohol that day. For some reason, images of movie scenes flickered in my head.

My mind was full of movies where the landlord had a steamy romance with the male lead. My body heated up as I pictured scenes from those movies.

Eventually, I walked over to Leah.

Leah happened to be cleaning the last flight of stairs. She stepped backward as she cleaned and eventually pressed her back against me.

My throat ran dry just then. I cautiously tapped Leah's back and said, "Ms. Burke…?"

"Oh my God!" Leah yelped. She wondered who she had backed into while bent over, but I spoke up and instantly frightened her.

"S-Seth Zaffino?" Leah covered her mouth in shock. Then, she questioned with a panicked voice, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I happened to get off work and saw you, so I thought I'd say hi." I retracted my hand at once and scratched my head, feeling bad for startling her.

"Oh, I see." Leah peered at me before adding, "How is it that you're so quiet when you walk? Gosh, it gave me a fright!"

"Perhaps you were too focused on sweeping the stairs." While saying that, I seized the chance to glance at her body.

I had mentioned before that she was smoking hot. That said, I never imagined she would be so full-bosomed that the buttons were close to popping open.

Leah covered herself once she saw me staring at her. "What are you looking at?"

Her eyes reddened as she glowered at me.

"N-Nothing!" Although unwilling, I looked away. "I just think you're really pretty, Ms. Burke. You've got a great figure, too—"

"Hmph! You dumb drunkard!" Leah chased me away with her broom. "Leave now! Go back to your unit or I'll call for help!"

"Why would you call for help? It's not like I did anything to you…" I wanted to reason with her, but she shot me another piercing glare.

She was already attractive, but her intense stares made me want to have my way with her on the spot. I couldn't help but gulp at that thought.

"Alright, alright. I'm going!" After saying that, I unwillingly returned home and closed the door to my unit.

Leah scoffed before returning to her unit with bright red, heated cheeks.

I lay on the bed that night, and the scene of when Leah backed into me while sweeping the floor kept replaying in my head. I couldn't help but feel lonely, so I turned on my phone and was about to reward myself by watching a movie.

That was when I heard some sounds from the neighboring apartment unit. Those noises would have made anyone blush and have their heart rates speed up.
