Love's Hot

KANE

She wants to be my buddy.

You know, the naked type—no strings attached, no awkwardness.

Friends who are lovers but with no relationship hassles.

To a man who has nothing to offer a woman except pleasure, it’s an offer too good to refuse

Days of laughter and nights full of hot searing passion.

It can’t last. I need it to end, my life depends on our demise.

But I miss her clothes on my bedroom floor.

As she looks up at me from her knees, my heart … the distraction … I just can’t.

She’s here in front of me, so how do I keep her safe?

LILLY

Holy hotness!

It’s a crime to be that good-looking, surely. It’s not just looks, I’m certain.

His skills in the bedroom keep me awake dreaming of more.

I don’t want to be attached, but I’m not ready to let him go. I come up with the perfect plan.

Friends with benefits, an arrangement with rules.

F… buddies—his name and his rules. A name he takes seriously and lives up to.

I’ve never known life to be this good but just as I fall under his spell, he’s gone.

The rules say I should too. But I won’t because his love is worth fighting for.

I’m about to make him see that too.
