There’s nothing wrong with a harmless little crush, right?

And who better to crush on than the gorgeous man next door?

The one who would never look twice in my direction.

Except he does.

The first time he pins me in place with his dark gaze, I’m rendered speechless.  The first time he lays his hands on me, I melt.  And the first time he takes me, well…I fall to pieces, wondering if I’ll ever be the same again.

Everything about him screams danger.

And yet I’d be lying through my teeth if I didn’t admit that was part of the attraction.

Chicago is supposed to be a new beginning for me.  A chance to find my bearings and live again.  The man next door is the last person I should be getting involved with.

And yet, here I am.

A moth dancing too close to the flickering flame, hoping I don’t get torched.

Protecting What's Mine

Matteo and I spend the entire weekend together.  Much like Saturday, I wake up the next morning to coffee in bed.  Before I can enjoy my java, Matteo's face is between my legs, licking and nibbling until I scream his name.  I don't have a chance to catch my breath before he buries his cock deep inside me, making me orgasm again.


There's no denying that Matteo is a fierce, demanding lover.  He has pushed me outside my comfort zone, but I can't say that I regret it.  Boneless and completely sated, we hit the streets again to jog along the lakefront.


Even though everything seems fine between us, I keep waiting for him to pull away.  To tell me that he needs to take off before disappearing from the face of the earth again.
