Addie

I drunk-dialed my big brother’s best friend and told him I was tired of being a virgin.

I’ve harbored a crush on Michael Montgomery since I was a tween. Ever since he bandaged my scraped knee with the utmost care, he’s been my personal Prince Charming. 

That love quickly turned unrequited, and the rejection was painful. I tried my best to get over him, but not a single man could measure up to Michael.

So drunkenly blurting out that I didn’t want to be a virgin anymore should’ve put the final nail in the coffin of my obsession.

Except… he declared that no other man was allowed to touch me but him.

His words sent shivers to all the right places, but my Prince Charming is hiding a secret that could break us before we even have a chance.

Michael

My best friend’s little sister is off limits.

It’s the mantra I’ve lived by for years because Adalaide Jackson made every day brighter when we were growing up, and I ruined it when I flinched instead of kissing her back.

It was proof that she deserved so much better than a broken man who can’t stand another person’s touch.

Now I’ve gone and told her I’m the only one allowed in her bed, and I have no idea how I can follow through when I was conditioned to mistrust everyone who says they love me.

I never wanted my past to touch Addie, but when our relationship collides with the trauma of my childhood, she’ll be the one who ends up broken.
