Everything comes crashing down as my eyes widen into his. Both of our breathing labored but his hands not releasing me. “Grace.” He says breathlessly. That name is all it takes to wake me up. ‘Grace’ I’m not Grace. He thinks I’m someone I’m not. I shouldn’t be doing this when he doesn’t even know who he’s with. I scramble off of him and stand in the middle of the room panting. I can see him start to fumble, standing up and walking towards me. I look up at him, my eyes wide. “I’m so sorry. We shouldn’t… We shouldn’t have done that.” I stammer out and he looks at me shocked. Walking towards me like I’m a trapped animal he’s scared is going to run away. “Why, Grace? Why shouldn’t we have done that? Please, just talk to me.” I can hear the pleading in his voice, the fear that I didn’t want him to kiss me, but that’s not it. I don’t know why. Why I’m so scared to just tell them the truth, so I decide to lie. “I’m sorry, Gunner. I like all three of you. I’m not going to choose, so I’ve just decided I wouldn’t be with any of you. It’s not fair to you guys.” I don’t wait for him to respond, I run out the door and down the steps, landing face first in Dean’s chest. He pulls me up and wraps my legs around his waist causing me to gasp. “Who said we’d make you choose, Bambi?” And before I can respond his lips are on mine.

She was the perfect wife… until her husband asked for an open marriage. Years of betrayal had taught her how to stay quiet, how to endure. But this time, she refused to break softly. If he could cheat without remorse, she would answer in kind… cold, calculated, and meant to hurt. One night. One stranger. No emotions. She never expected him to have a daughter. She never expected the child to look at her like home. What began as revenge turns into a dangerous attachment, and the man she paid to forget becomes the one who sees her pain most clearly. But love born from betrayal is never simple… and walking away may cost her more than staying ever did. When hearts are already broken, can love still be real… or will it ruin them all?

Paulyn is his best friend's daughter. She's off-limits. Alfredo doesn't want to be tempted. He can't be tempted. That's why he keeps his distance from her. He tries to avoid her and stay away. But every time he moves away, every time he avoids her, it seems like the girl's desire to get closer to him, to get his attention, only grows stronger. She wanted him to give in. She wanted him to submit himself. And as time goes on, he feels like she's gradually getting him. He's gradually falling for her charm. Paulyn is a walking temptation. A sexy vixen that could awaken every man's sexual fantasies and he is not an exception to that.
