I broke the Bro Code.
Never mess around with your best friend’s little sister.
But when she washed up on my beach in a tattered wedding gown barely covering her curves…
I knew I was screwed.
I tried to resist her.
But watching her romp around the beach in tiny bikinis building sand castles with my daughter broke me.
Because then she whispered she wanted me to be her first.
