Beautiful houses in every corner of the world. Beautiful girls begging at my doorstep, for just one night with me. I would welcome them with open arms, use them, and then discard them. As if they were a Christmas present; fun on the day, but once you get bored, they end up in the attic, like all the rest.
I was a player. I had it all. Talented, rich, good-looking. There was no man who had heard of me that didn't want to be me. Who didn't want to live the life I was living? What more could I possibly want?
Quite a lot more, I realised, when I met The Rock girls.
I knew Payson's type. Focused, determined, a fighter. The type who would probably remain virgin till she achieved what she wanted. Her flame burned strongly.
I was familiar with Lauren as well. Sexy, saucy, sultry, sassy. She was a snake. Either too easy, or too hard to get. And when she bites, she bites hard. Her fire was hot.
Emily seemed interesting enough, until I actually got to know her. Then I realised that she didn't want what she had. She went on with this fake dream, because she was good at it. To pay her family's bills.
Turns out, later on, her flame burned to its death.
And then came Kaylie Cruz. Miss perfect. I had never met anyone who had it better than she had. Suddenly, I wanted to try this girl.
You know her, I would say to myself. But when she doesn't even give you a second glance, you realise that you don't know her at all.
So I took on this challenge. Austin Tucker loves a challenge, especially if it's certain that he will win. And when it comes to me and girls, I always win. So I joined The Rock. Little did I know that this decision would change my life.
Days sped by. She caught my attention; I found myself staring. Out of all the girls that have tired me, she just kept on exciting me. I wanted more. Austin Tucker always gets what he wants. I found out that Kaylie Cruz does as well. There was something very special about her; I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Finally, I found that I wasn't on a hopeless mission. Soon, she started returning my tender kisses, my passionate gazes, my affectionate gestures. I realised that what we wanted was each other.
I had fallen in love. We weren't supposed to happen, but we did.
It was after me saving her life, risking my career and watching her success that I realised what was special about her.
Not only did she burn hotly and strongly (she did that as well) but she burnt brightly. And she had the brightest fire in the world to me. It was leaving its trail all over the world and all over my heart.
