And Poppy was at the top of that list. POPPY I saw the way Jakob looked at me: possessive, needy, territorial. I wanted to be his despite the fact we’d never spoken. He was older than me, had a job that only real men can handle, and still, I longed to see him every day when I went to the mines. I knew that one of these days I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from making it known that he was all I wanted. I was nervous, innocent in all the ways that count to a man like Jakob. But for him—with him—I wanted to try it all. I wanted to experience what it’s like to get really dirty. Warning: This is super short, fast, and right to the point. You won’t get any drama here.
