I spent a good part of my life blaming every man for one event. Granted, it was a life-altering event, one that redirected my course and destroyed the girl I was once.
From that point on, I ran from anything good. I hid behind my sarcasm and attitude, deciding to never allow myself to feel vulnerable to any man again. I was never wrong; they were.
I knew best, I set my pace, I routed my path. I had control. Then one night, I let my guard down, and the path I had set in stone was no longer clear.
Everything that I thought made sense no longer did. Aaron O’Shay was strong, confident, and very easy on the eyes. I’d noticed many times. So when I decided to dabble, it didn’t work out as planned.
He managed to take everything I thought I knew and scramble it all up. I hated the uncertainty. I hated the fact that I couldn’t walk away.
I hated that he invaded my thoughts, created memories I couldn’t forget, and left me longing for more. I hated that this man was making me love him, no matter how hard I fought against it.
And more than anything else, I hated that he wanted me just the way I was. He took away the only solid reason that he and I could never work. He wanted me, flaws and all!
