I've been wet for my father's best friend since I was old enough to understand what desire meant.Alexander King polished, untouchable, every inch, the elegant gentleman has haunted my dreams for a decade. He still calls me kiddo, still pats my head like I'm fifteen. But I caught him staring last night. Saw his hand tighten around his whiskey glass until his knuckles went white. He wants me. He's just too noble to take what's offered.Too bad I'm not noble at all.Now my parents have abandoned me at his penthouse for the summer. He walks past me in the kitchen, his chest brushing my shoulder, and I feel the heat pool between my thighs like honey. He tries to keep his distance, but I see the bulge in his slacks when I stroll past in nothing but a towel. He thinks he's protecting me by holding back.He's wrong.I'm done waiting. I'll crawl into his bed, wrap my legs around his waist, and whisper his name until he breaks. Let the world call it scandal.I call it destiny. This is my only shot, and I'll burn us both alive before I let him say no.
