I want inside her heart. I want to reside there, take up residency, and never leave. I've already made room in mine for her. I feel like it may have happened years ago, without my permission. It would explain why I've never felt anything for another woman since meeting her. No attraction. No desire.

Sure, I've screwed around a few times, but I wasn't overcome with need the way I am with her. The room didn't start to spin like it does when she walks in. My heart doesn't threaten to beat out of my chest. And my dick certainly didn't take notice, straining against the fly of my jeans, whenever they were around.

Nope. That's all for Mya.

For the blonde-haired beauty with sky blue eyes that swirl with emotion and desire anytime I stare into them, who wants to share my bed and nothing more.

The only bright side of our new arrangement, aside from screwing her against the washing machine after removing a pair of silky, black thongs with my teeth, is that I have time to figure out how to change her mind. And I will find a way if it's the last thing I do. Because I don't quit.

It's not in my vocabulary.

If I can come back from the dead after seven minutes, I can find a way to prove to Mya that we belong together. In the meantime, I have to find a way to keep my feelings hidden. It's going to be the hardest challenge I've faced in a long time. Not showing her how much I care. Not saying the words when they threaten to fall from my lips.

Mostly, it's going to be hard not to claim her when that's all I want to do. I want to wrap my arms around her and show her off to my friends. I want to announce that I've finally met my match. The one girl who’s able to calm the storm inside me.

But I can't do any of that. I can't even tell my friends that we're fuck buddies. Which I never would. It makes the situation sound cheap. And there's nothing cheap about how I feel.

Plus, when I finally confess my feelings to Mya, I want her jumping into my arms instead of pulling out of them. And if I screw up between now and when I feel like she's ready to hear it, I'm going to lose her. Her determination also makes her stubborn as hell. Once she has her mind set, there's no changing it.

Right now, she wants one thing from me—sex.

The only way to get her to open her eyes to more is to wiggle my way into her heart.
