Natalie had always been a fairly happy girl with a life that she was content with. At least until six months ago when her lifelong best friend, with who she had shared everything with up until that point, suddenly decided that they needed to end their friendship with no warning. The life that she had known and loved shattered around her, taking her with it. Now, she's closed herself off from everyone around her and made a vow to herself to never let anyone in again in an effort to never have to go through that pain again.
For six months, her plan had gone smoothly and seemed fail-proof. That is until Riley, who happens to be way too handsome and charming for his own good, abruptly finds his way into her life and flips her world upside down. No matter how much she pushes him away and tries to keep her vow, she keeps finding herself in situations that could ruin everything she's worked so hard for. The more she's around him and is struck by the light he brings into the world, the harder it becomes to keep her vow, and herself, safe. Her life starts to spin out of her control as she tries to figure out what Riley really wants, who he really is, and why her gut keeps telling her that there is more to him than she could ever imagine.
As if her plate wasn't already full enough, she's also troubled with trying to figure out why Colton has been acting the way he has and why he really left her. Natalie's life has become anything but simple. But it can only go up from here, right? Wrong. The catastrophic rollercoaster that has become her life has only just begun. Will Natalie ever be able to let down the walls guarding her heart or will she miss out on any

Remember Me

I unzip my pants and thrust into her in one swift movement. Her high-pitched moan sounds in my ear and makes my stomach twist up. I reach around and put my hand over her mouth to quiet her so we don’t get caught and so I don’t have to hear her. I close my eyes and go into my mind where I always go. 


I go to her icy blue eyes and her plump naturally pink lips. I think of them parted and gasping in shock just like they were when I memorized everything on my birthday. Her hourglass body under me. How perfect she’d felt around me. And just like that, I’m gone. I’m reliving that night all over again and pulling out to come on her back. 


She grabs a tissue from a shelf next to her and wipes her back off before pulling her shirt down and her pants up. She turns around flushed and her chest heaving. She makes another attempt to kiss me and I push her away.
