But the secrets we now share are too real, and they’re crumbling every piece of who I thought I was. If only Stefan was the man I thought he was. If only I weren’t so powerless. But there’s one thing I have that he wants. My body.  And I’ll do anything it takes to right the wrongs I’ve discovered.

Open Encounters by Luna David and Morningstar Ashley

I knew the moment I saw him that he was going to change my life. What I didn’t know was how. One thing had been clear…I wanted him. I felt his stare across the room, had felt his pull and desire in my core. Nothing’s changed since that night three years ago. He can still control me with his eyes. He can still heat me up in minutes. He shows me a world I never knew existed. A world filled with passion and desire and the freedom of sex in all forms. He gives me everything I didn’t know I needed. I’m his and he’s mine, and he proves that to me every day.
