Hope had always considered himself a fairly well-rounded guy - a little sheltered, perhaps, even when he was nineteen and supposed to be running around having the time of his life. Not that it mattered, since his plan had always been to put his career first and build himself a nice life.
But then he'd met Lightning.
Sure, at first they'd tried to resist. The only way to get rid of temptation, though, is to give in to it.
And oh, how he'd given in…
Lightning wasn't some fleeting crush he had in school that made him all nervous at the thought of kissing. No, she was a woman in every sense of the word, unintentionally determined to break the shell he'd been hiding in this whole time.
She succeeded, too. Even just after the first night, when some unknown rush of desire he'd never felt before made him cover her skin in lusty, fiery kisses, she'd responded with even more vigor. Hope had gladly surrendered when she tackled him to the bed, her own hands and mouth all over him.
Anyone else would say that he was crazy, but Hope knew better. Being with Lightning might have shattered his smart boy sensibilities, but it also allowed him to share her harder view on the world.
After all, nothing was perfect…except being with her.
Thank you so much for all of your reviews so far!
