SYNOPSIS
In the realm of our minds, we had long decided that no living man could rival the perfection of those inked in the pages of our beloved novels. Despite this resolve, we remained solitary, captives of our own fantasies. Then, like a tempest, Damien Ryder arrived—towering, with a physique sculpted to perfection, a fashion sense that turned heads, a jawline that could cut glass, and a voice that commanded attention. His background spoke of privilege, yet his demeanor hinted at a spoiled nature, tempered by brilliance and intelligence.
Damien embodied every dreamy male protagonist we had ever swooned over, driving us to the edge of reason. However, he displayed no interest in the fairer sex, carrying himself with a seriousness that set him apart. We all coveted him, each desiring him exclusively. He was the man we had envisioned in our dreams, the one who had haunted our thoughts.
I yearned to be the one to break through his impenetrable facade, to experience a reality that mirrored our wildest fantasies. The question lingered in the air like a tantalizing whisper: who would be the first to shatter his boundaries? Would it be me, or would fate intervene and cast the spotlight on one of my friends? The answer was clear in my mind— I'm far from winning.
