“I don't understand... you always felt this way?”
The confusion rolling through me at yet another confession of lust or love was overwhelming. The last thing I had expected when I came back to the lake house was to be surrounded by three men all trying to win my attention, yet here I was.
Caught in a lust driven haze of sex and pleasure I didn't want to escape from.
***
Juliet loved spending time at her grandparents’ home growing up, so when they passed away right after graduation she couldn’t bring herself to let someone else handle her grandparents affairs. Instead she set off back to a life she had not been part of in so many years.
Surrounded by men who looked to devour her.
One a friend, One a Contractor, and one a bad boy that made her toes curl just by speaking.
Will Juliet be able to stand her ground to get her life together, or will she succumb to the sexual desires each man awakens in her?

Love on the Lake

I was collecting my bag from the porch when I heard the crash not too far away. I didn’t think anything of it until I saw Juliet hobbling toward the house. I could hear Eric shouting after her before I could see him. The two stop and it looks like Juliet is trying not to collapse. Rescuing her is the only thing on my mind when my legs start moving without a thought.


When I reach the end of the driveway, I assess the scene. Eric is trailing after a shaking Juliet. His voice is slurred as he calls out after her. Juliet doesn’t look injured, just shaken up and physically shaking. Her eyes are wide as well, but she is too far away. It is too dark for me to tell if her pupils are dilated. 


“Juliet,” I say and she looks at me like she knows she should recognize me but can’t place my face. Then her features change and recognition hits as tears start falling down her face.


“Logan?” Juliet’s voice wavers and she sounds so worried.
