Brad
Eight years ago, I did something stupid. Or rather, I got caught doing something stupid. Not wanting to see my business partner and single dad best friend go down, I took the rap and now it’s time, finally, to come home.
I can’t wait to see Paul again, but where is he?
It’s eight o’clock on a Sunday, I’m the only released inmate today…
And then there she is. The one.
Eight years? I would’ve waited eight hundred years if I’d known Riley, Paul’s daughter was going to be the one to come get me. If I’d known she was the one. But if I had known? It would’ve made life hell, knowing she was out there while I was in here.
And there’s not a moment to lose, I’m not gonna wait another eight minutes before I stake my claim on her, the finest, smoothest, curviest piece of womanhood I’ve ever seen.
I’m gonna claim her and make her my own.
Sorry Paul, I took the fall for you once, but this time I’m falling double hard for your daughter.
I guess we’ll have to talk that over when we finally both get home.
Riley
Dad’s best friend went away when I was little, but I had a picture of him and dad, so I’d never forget what he did for us.
Sometime in college, that picture took on a new meaning, giving me feelings I never had before, then I cropped out dad so there was only Brad.
Once I see his huge hulking frame exit those prison gates, I know from his look, from the sounds he makes, that he’s staking his claim. That I’m gonna be his.
I know he’s an older man and I’m a younger woman, but he’s a real man. The kind I only ever read about. The kind of man who knowswhat he wants and although I don’t understand why at first, Brad wants me.
And I need Brad.
Before I even speak a word, I know I’m his forever.
If only I knew that dad would be happy for me, for us both. Just for once.
But like anything worth doing, there’s always consequences, Brad knows all about those and he’s about to teach me a lesson in love as well as in learning what happens when you play with fire.
