When those rough and callused hands know how to manipulate more than power tools and hammers, the woman who benefits from a working man’s hands as well as his entire toned physique is definitely one lucky lady. There’s just something about a man who works with his hands that illustrates exactly the kind of hardworking man he is…

She doesn’t leave a glass slipper, either-just a pair of panties with chocolate bunnies printed on them. I want a repeat, but my flying Cinderella disappears immediately afterward. What follows is the hottest experience of my adult life. But when a curvy woman in a red wrap dress charges me like she’s a gymnast about to mount my high bar, all I can do is brace myself and catch her. But when my besties dare me to leap on the first single man I see, they don’t expect me to actually go through with it.Īll I need right now is some peace and quiet while my home renovation TV show is on hiatus.
