FIRE between us

Amber

I'd never had a one night-stand before. Call me repressed, but it just wasn't something I ever wanted to do. All that changed the day my best friend from my high school, Julie, who I had completely lost touch with suddenly turned up at my bakery.

She wanted to buy a big fat slice of cake because her ex had just walked out on her.

Cake? She deserved a night on the town! So I invited her to a drink at the local bar. It was a good night out for the two of us. We drank, chatted and remembered old times, until Julie, always a wild one, came up with the idea that we should both indulge in a one-night stand.

I let my eyes wander around the familiar bar as I thought up an excuse to say no, that is, until my wandering gaze fell on the most gorgeous tall, broad-shouldered man I'd ever seen in my whole life.

Seriously, that corny expression we all throw around: panty-melting hot, well, he was that. The man was delicious!
It was only supposed to be a one night fling. How could it be anything else while I was busy giving my all to my little bakery?
I could never have guessed that unforgettable night with Brody would open a door to mind-blowing passion, secrets, and lies.
Lies, I thought, I would never be able to forgive...
