Michelle Clarke. Our worlds collided and I knew instantly that she was mine. Everything in my life up until this point has been preparing me for her.My childhood.The eight years I spent in special forces.And the last six years spent as a proud member of the Williamsport Fire Department’s Rescue 4 squad.All of it was preparation for her. And nothing, not her reluctance, not my brother, and not even her son’s father will stand in the way of what belongs to me.

I will happily pour the gasoline and light the match and set all of this shit aflame, just to ensure she is where she belongs … with me.

    All night & all day. Just like the coffee shop I’d met him at that day luck was on my side. It was one cup of coffee. My last five dollars. And a sign of good faith. Who’d ever known the man I given my last to would be Levee Billion, prominent figure and one of Huffington Mill’s most eligible bachelors. Did I mention he was filthy fxcking rich? Just before he slid into his foreign whip, he’d left my mind in a frenzy and my body on fire. One wink and a thank you note with his number attached. “Call me if you’re ever in need.” Of course I was in need. I had been since the day I smelled his obnoxious cologne. Witnessed his intoxicating smile. Been blessed with his lingering presence. I’d become addicted. His absence was vexatious. Even, now, the thought of our differences keeping us apart had me strung out and stressed out.
