“Thank you for calling Centerburg Bank and Credit account management. This is Leigh, how may I help you?!” 

For the millionth time since I started this job, I wonder how I got stuck here in my hometown, when all my other high school friends, even my old crush Donovan, managed to go on to do so many more cool things in way better places.

Butterflies and sparks make my cheeks flush.

How is it possible for a Lycan to fall in love with a voice?

On top of that, sex is fun! Yes, some sex I’ve had has been more enjoyable than others but I know Donovan wouldn’t be selfish or uncaring in the bedroom. So…why is my heart racing, and not in a good way? How come my palms are sweaty and I’m fidgeting with my jeans?


 Why can’t I just convince myself that this will be fun?


I clear my throat and turn to him, looking at his high cheekbones instead of his eyes.
