Daphne

As a little girl, I believed in fairy tales.

Prince Charming saving the princess. The promise of a better life. The magic of happily ever after.

But I'm pretty sure Sleeping Beauty never woke up to a text message from Prince Charming's brother, informing her that they'd both been granted "free passes" for the weekend of their bachelor and bachelorette parties.

I can't believe this is my life. But I've already made my decision, and I'm confident about what happens next. The wedding is off. I won't be the victim in this story.

I'm ready to take back my power. One night of pleasure with the wildly attractive man I meet at The Oak is just what I need to start rewriting my happily ever after.

What I didn't anticipate is that one night with Fielding doesn't feel like enough. Not only that: one night with him could change the trajectory of my life forever.

Fielding

It's been a long time since I've felt anything in my hallow, tattered chest cavity.

But that unexpectedly changes when I lock eyes with a luminous angel in white.

She's a ten. But she's curvy as hell with an ass that's literally two handfuls. So she's a twelve.

She's also the freaking bride to be- or was, according to her story.

I offer Daphne one night of pleasure, knowing damn well it won't be enough. Now I want more. No, not more-I want it all with her.

She's reluctant to pursue the connection I know we both feel, and with good reason. So I'll bide my time. Play the long game. Wait her out, and do everything in my power to convince her she's meant to be mine.

One thing's for sure: I'm not giving up when it comes to my future with this woman.

It's disgustingly on brand for me: If it's off limits, I want it. Dangle the forbidden fruit in front of me, and I'll stop at nothing until I obtain it. I've always been a full out fiend.
