Chapter 1

My eyes scanned over the empty space one last time. My stomach tightened as the reality of the situation set in. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing this. Change scared me. I was not an outgoing person at all, never stepped out of my comfort zone, and was anxious as hell, but yet, here I was, bags packed, house empty, moving halfway across the country to Sequoia Village, of all places. “No turning back now, Ray.” I spoke aloud to myself. A notification came across my phone. It was HIM. My heart skipped for a second when I saw the name on my screen. Tristan Greene. I scrunched my face, angry that I still let him get to me. He was the reason for all of this, after all. I should have him blocked on everything, but I was too weak for that even though I only got hurt in the end when we stayed in touch. “Are you really going to leave without saying goodbye?” The message read. What a selfish dick. He wouldn’t commit to me, but wouldn’t leave me alone either. He didn’t want or couldn’t

Chapter 2

I woke up feeling like shit. I was always 50/50 with naps. Lights danced across the dark sky out my window. Nice view. I stared for a couple of minutes and then got up and walked out on the balcony. The crisp, cold air sent a shiver through my body. I hadn’t checked the weather. I rubbed my hands up and down my arms as a strong breeze blew by. My curls whisked back away from my face. I had recently done a “big chop” cutting a lot of my hair mainly to get the damaged blond out. I needed a change and was now rocking my natural, healthy hair - dark brunette. It complemented my green and brown hazel eyes, so I had been told, anyway. I walked back inside to the fridge realizing how thirsty I was. Inside were some complementary bottles of water left by my new landlord along with a bottle of wine and vodka. A note read “Welcome to your new home. Here’s something to get you started, whichever you prefer.” I chuckled. That was a nice gesture. Normally I’m a wine-sipping type of gal, but vod

Chapter 3

“Oh, my God. I’m so sorry,” I blurted out. I looked down and my hand jerked back as I realized I was attempting to pat-dry the wetness on his chest from the spilled drink. I was nervous and being awkward. What an idiot. The man in front me was gorgeous. His skin was bronze and he had dark, chocolate curly hair that contrasted his eyes, his facial hair cut short against his skin. I felt his toned chest under my touch from before. My gaze went back to his eyes. They were so different from anything I’ve ever seen on a person. I couldn’t explain it. “You have really nice eyes.” Something I had meant to only think but the words had actually come out. What was going on with me? I was never this bold. He smiled and spoke for the first time. “Thank you. Your eyes are beautiful too.” His voice came out deep and husky. As he spoke, he put his hand under my chin lifting my face to his. A shudder went through my body when I felt his warm but rough, calloused hand against me. Why did I let him

Chapter 4

A deep sigh escaped me and I realized I had been holding my breath. My body was tense. I made my way back towards Trinity. She was smirking at me. “What?” I laughed as I scratched the side of my head looking away. I’m sure she had caught my interaction with Adrian. “Nothing,” she said. “I see you met Adrian.”“Oh, do you know him?” I asked. “Of course.” She paused and stated, “He’s well-known. His family’s been here for years. They own a lot of property and businesses around here.”“Oh,” I said trying to sound uninterested but my eyes told another story. “He’s definitely single,” she offered. I smiled and then caught myself. “Well, that’s none of my business. I am not getting into that. Nope.” My face got serious for emphasis. Trinity looked at me and smirked. “Okay. If you say so. I don’t blame you.”I sat at the bar for a while and before leaving me and Trinity exchanged numbers. We definitely connected. She was around my age, 23, but was going to school during the day and bar

Chapter 5

I woke up to light shining through the curtains. My body flinched as I rolled in the bed. Last night’s events had taken a toll on me. Realizing I was not in my own bed, I jumped up. Looking around at the unfamiliar space, I tried to take in my surroundings. I was in this dark, elegant suite of some sort. My legs rubbed up against the silk sheets. So soft. Memories of last night started flooding back in my head. I scanned the room and then I saw him. Adrian. He was sitting in the corner in a chair his eyes glued on me. How long had he been there? Was he watching me sleep? I looked down and noticed I wasn’t wearing what I had on last night. Somehow I had been changed into an oversized t-shirt and some boxer shorts. “What the hell? I raised my voice. “Where are my clothes? Did You undress me?”“No. No. Calm down. Our live-in housekeeper helped you. You undressed yourself.” “Your housekeeper,” I repeated side-eying him. “Wait. Why am I here? What happened?”“Well, I didn’t really kno

Chapter 6

I opened my eyes to darkness. It was evening. I had slept longer than I intended. My stomach growled hard reminding me I had barely eaten in the last 24 hours. This wasn’t the way I had anticipated losing weight. I went to the fridge, but there was only water. I hadn’t gone shopping. I hadn’t done anything productive, for that matter. The only thing I had managed to do was bump into one tall, dark, gorgeous man and get attacked by a creepy, weird one - two things that were definitely not on my to-do list. I grabbed my phone to search for food options in the area and settled on Italian. Kiera was all over the place when I finally called her. You’d think I was the little sister the way she tried to boss me around. “I know. I know.” I said after minutes of her berating my apparent stupidity. “I thought I’d be okay on the first day at least.” “Well, that’s why you don’t think. Do I need to bring my ass down there already?” We both started laughing. She was such a smart ass. I talked

Chapter 7

Who the hell? I didn’t recognize the area code. It couldn’t be Adrian, could it? There’s no way. How would he have my number? I’m pretty positive Trinity wouldn’t have given it to him without telling me. Probably a wrong number or something. I thought about not responding, but curiosity got the best of me like usual.“Who is this?” “Ouch. Have you forgotten about me already, love?” Okay. So it was obviously him. How the hell did he get my number? He was persistent. I would give him that much. I smiled but was unsure how to respond. It wasn’t like I didn’t know how to flirt, but I always played hard to get and my walls were definitely back up. I wasn’t going to let them down for some random man, even if he did kind of save my life. “Sorry. I guess you didn’t leave that much of a lasting impression.” I lied, but apparently he wasn’t deterred. “Give me a chance to change that.”He was smooth. I thought for a few seconds going back and forth. Wasn’t I just complaining about being bored

Chapter 8

We pulled up in front of the restaurant. Da’More’s the sign on the door read. Adrian jumped out of the car and met me at the passenger side to open my door and to help me out. I made a mental note of how much of a gentleman he was. That was a refreshing change.I realized I had left my bag in the floorboard halfway to the door so I had to turn back to grab it while he went ahead waiting at the door holding it open for me. I heard some loud voices in the background, but I was too busy digging in my purse making sure everything was accounted for to see what exactly was going on. I looked up as I noticed the voices had gotten closer to me just in time to see a body crashing into me sending me flying backwards over the curb. Some drunk was being kicked out of a bar next door and came colliding into me. Panic struck me as I realized wasn’t going to be able to catch myself in time. My heels went out underneath me and I braced myself for the fall into the road, but instead I fell back into A

Chapter 9

We were back at my apartment sooner than I wanted to be. Even though I had just told him I didn’t want to move too fast and I felt like I needed to get away, another part of me didn’t want the night to end. We had spent hours together, but time seemed to have went by so fast. It felt good being around him. I just wanted to be in his presence with no words or expectations. My uncertainty and indecisiveness was annoying me. It was as though a war was raging inside my body pulling me every which way. It was later than what I expected and I was actually pretty tired. Of course Adrian helped me out the car and walked me to my door wanting to make sure I got in safely. We slowly walked up the steps dragging it out as much as possible until I was at my door. I turned around to face him dreading the moment. I hated awkward goodbyes.“I enjoyed this evening. I hope you did too.” He looked at me with hopeful eyes.“I did. I had a good time. Thank you for dinner and everything.” I smiled back

Chapter 10

Morning came early. I had actually gotten a decent sleep that night. I stared at the ceiling blushing as I recapped my night with Adrian and excitement grew knowing I would see him again today. Sure enough, when I checked my phone, I had a good morning text from him. I smiled. It was like he knew when I was thinking about him. He was super sweet and it had been a while since someone put so much effort into me.I needed to catch up with Trinity. She was the only one I felt like I could talk to about Adrian right now. I didn’t want anyone else to know that I had already folded on my “no more men quest” not even three days into my big move. How shameful. I sent her a text to update her on the current situation. She was apparently a fan of his so of course she approved and was happy to hear about our evening and that we already had something else lined up. She told me what I had already suspected, that he was a good guy. I didn’t even know what that was. Everyone from my past were dicks
