I’m met with a silver stare.
Improbable.”
“No, it’s a test of wills, and I really do hope you win.”
The truth is, I do expect a lot out of my love story and the man I’ll share it with.
I expect passion and butterflies, and one or two fairy tale moments. When we fight, I want it to hurt. When we fuck, I want to feel it with every fiber of my being. When a man confesses his love to me, I expect him to mean it. I don’t want to question the words’ authenticity. I want to be claimed and owned and ruled and possessed by love.
Some part of me thinks that my sickly heart was inherited, coded in my genes.
Finding love is the mecca of what I dream for myself.
A fulfilling career is a no-brainer but finding that once-in-a-lifetime love is non-negotiable.
As it should be for everyone to find that one true love in their life. Life goals indeed
My greatest hope is to be in all-consuming love. My biggest fear is to be in all-consuming love.
Some part of me already knows falling for Sean will end badly. I feel way too much already—way too much for just a month.
Maybe for now, I should just listen to the voice of reason in my head, instead of the addict in my heart. The voice that tells me there are relationships out there filled with just as much passion that don’t have to result in bloodletting.
Fucking men.
For real ugh
“No.”
“They were not affectionate people and do refrain from any rude comments. I’m aware some consider that a shortcoming.”
“I gave you my last name because I had hoped to be a father to you. One day, I realized I never would be, and the least I could do was care for you financially. I’m handing you my life’s work because of my failure. All I ask is that you play a small part. I know it doesn’t make up for it, but it’s all I’ll ever have to give you.”
“Did you love my mother?” I ask hoarsely, damning the budding emotion. “Have you ever loved anyone?”
“I tried.”
I do my best to ignore the sting behind my eyes and the tear that falls because of it. That was it. I know it in my soul.
That will be the one and only confession my father ever gives me about the way he feels about me. After years of wondering, ...

That’s so sad. Wow
So be it. It’s been days since the texts stopped, and I’m still convincing myself I’m fine with it.
I fell for every line his beautiful lips fed me. Only to feel slapped.
I see none other than Dominic appear from beneath the rolling surface.
“You think I’d let you get away that easily?”
Holy hotness!! Wow
“Who the hell do you think you are?”
“I’m the boyfriend you’re pissed at.”
You are a lot stronger than you think you are, and I wanted you to see that.”
“Why?”
“Because I want you around, ...

“I thought I was doing the right thing, but I don’t know what that is when it comes to you.”
“It means for both our sakes, I should probably leave you alone, but I’m not fucking going to.”
“Your father is a fucking crook. Did you know that?”
“I worked forty-two hours last week and only got paid for thirty-nine.”
He’s been doing this for years, screwing us on our overtime, shorting our checks just enough so we don’t raise too much hell.
“This is his plant,” Vivica argues, “you work here, and you want to tell me you have nothing to do with him?”
“Have you told the supervisor?”
“You mean your boyfriend?”
“Vivica, collect yourself and get into my office, now.” Sean’s voice booms...

The whole plant now definitely knows I’m the owner’s daughter, and just in case they missed it, they also know I’m fucking my supervisor. Perfect.
“You’ve got to know I won’t let them hurt you. I’ve got your back.”
“And I’m grateful, but you can’t. This truly is my fight and I’m…really fucking angry and I don’t want to take it out on you, okay? I have to go.”
But, who in the hell is the Friar?
“nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
“Do you believe that’s true?”
“Elle est trop belle. Trop intelligente. Mais trop jeune. Cette fille
sera ta perte…”
She is too beautiful. Too smart. But too young. This girl wi...

It’s Dominic’s smile, and a part of me lifts at the sight of it.
With Sean, I feel safer; but when Dominic is around, I feel that every breath I take is laced with something hazardous. Yet with each inhale, he becomes more intoxicating.
