Owned By The Casanovas
Myra Brightholme - 2018
But I agreed to something I surely never would have done in my right mind. Maybe it’s too late to back out now… Spring Break was supposed to be Fiona and I living it up in Miami. Of course, we got a little too drunk our first night out on Ocean Drive. That’s when I met Mark and agreed to something no v*rgin would dream of doing. He proposed the idea of me being not with one person – but all of his colleagues. I was both thrilled and horrified by the idea. Conflicted, because it’d be like accelerating from 0 to 100 in seconds, and thrilled, because it fit right in with my best fantasies. But what kind of girl would agree to something like that? Turns out, this one does.
