     I didn't join the medical field because of the women, but it sure as hell has become a perk of the job. Now, a new forbidden lust has sparked my interest, but the odds are stacked against me. She's taboo. Unreachable. Beautiful and broken. My mentor's sister is older than me and commands respect when she walks in the room. Nothing like the twenty-year-old floozies that spread their legs at nothing more than a look. Divorced and dominant, with more beauty and class than any woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. And word on the street is that she left the old guy she was hitched to because she wanted kids. He didn't. Sounds like a job for a real man. Me. As long as we keep things casual. I ain’t looking for love. Too bad she thinks I’m a pompous ass. She doesn’t know me at all. No one does. Looks like I’ll have to take this fight under the covers. There you go. Every Good Girl Deserves a Bad Boy. ~ Weston

But she never expects he will actually see what she’s written. She is just writing because she thinks it will help to get the words out.
