“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

“What’s going on?” I ask as I follow Eric and Marcus through the house to the front porch. 


I look back and watch the door shut as Juliet stares after us. She looks as confused as I feel but she doesn’t follow us outside. The door shuts between us and I turn back to Eric and Marcus. Both of them are eyeing me closely and it makes me suspicious. They walk down the steps of the porch and we all stand in the driveway. 


The sun is already down but the porch light shines on us. We stand in a triangle and my nerves are starting to get the better of me. I’m angry, upset, and confused. I am every emotion right now, mostly negative. And I still haven’t had the opportunity to talk to Juliet. 


After my conversation with Daniel and then seeing Eric kiss Juliet outside of the flower shop, I decided to go straight to the source. Dropping the flowers was dramatic but I couldn’t process my feelings at the time. I shouldn’t have walked away from Juliet and Eric.
