(This is not a fanfic) There are secrets that burn more than fire. For me the secret has a first and last name, not to mention he shares drinks with my father in the living room. And obsessive attraction consumed in secret, where every touch is a betrayal and every confession is made in whispers.

It was supposed to be one night. No last names. No promises. No reason to ever see each other again. Jon was older, rough around the edges, and dangerously easy to want. By morning, you walked away knowing almost nothing about him, and expecting it to stay that way. Then you met Jacob. Charming, intense, and impossible to ignore, Jacob Callahan had a way of making everything feel like it belonged to him, including you. His temper should have been a warning. His jealousy probably should've been another. Instead, you fell for him. Months later, Jacob decides it's finally time for you to meet his family. And standing on the other side of the door is the one man you never expected to see again. Jon. Your boyfriend's father. One look is enough to know he remembers everything. Neither of you tells Jacob. What happened was before him. It meant nothing. It's over. At least, that's what you keep telling yourselves. Because the longer you're around the Callahans, the more you begin to realise just how alike father and son really are. The same temper. The same intensity. The same inability to let go. And, apparently, the same taste in women.
