Truly Mine

The night we met in the dimly lit bar, she looked like a brunette bombshell, and I wanted to learn her deepest secrets. With sun-kissed skin and soulful bedroom eyes, she was pure temptation, and I was mesmerized. As one drink led to two, I craved more of her playful banter and taunting lips. Resisting her wasnt an option, and we quickly became a desperate mess of tangled limbs and hot kisses. She tasted like the sweetest sin, but I was no saint. Once we caught our breaths, and it became obvious that meeting her wasnt a coincidence, everything changed. Now I must deny her at all costs. Friends is all we can ever be. After years of lying to myself and keeping her at a distance, I want to pull her close. Sophies on my mind more than ever as my instincts to protect her take over. Regardless of my attempts to help, she pushes me away and makes it clear she doesnt need me. Ill do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to show her Im the good guy, but one night takes a tragic turn for the worse when her boyfriend and I start throwing punches. And it ends when Im arrested for his murder.
