That Moment

I’ve wanted her for as long as I can remember, but she’s off-limits.
She isn’t just my childhood friend.
She’s the triplet sister of my two best friends.
The girl I swore I’d never touch, no matter how many times she tempts me to.

We’ve always had that pull.
That spark that never really went out, just buried itself deep until we were both too damn stubborn to admit it.
And every time she smiles at me, I want to take what’s never been mine.
Claim what I’ve been denying for years.

Adrienne Slade.
Sharp. Fearless. Untouchable.
Way too good for a man like me.

Then she shows up asking me to help rebuild her dad’s old Mustang.
Just the two of us, long nights in the garage, side by side.
She swears it’s about the car, but we both know better.

One kiss and every line I drew between us shatters.
One night and I know I’ll never get enough of her.

But wanting her and keeping her are two very different things.
Because she’s got a future bigger than this town and I’ve spent my entire life convincing myself I’m not the man who could ever hold her.

One moment can change everything.
And one mistake could cost me even more.

Because Adrienne Slade isn’t just temptation.
She’s the only woman I’ve ever loved and I’ll fight like hell not to lose her again.
