To crave safety was one thing. To sleep with a monster to get it? That was something else entirely. ____________________ The bar. Her best friend. The need to forget her ex. That's all Maebelle Taylor was signing up for one Thursday night in college. The icing on the cake was the tall and handsome one-night-stand she managed to fall into bed with, and she was able to achieve what she set out to do: Forget. However, things don't go as planned when said one-night-stand saunters back into her life. Not only is he as handsome as he was during their night of fun, but he seems to be a completely different person than Maebelle remembers. He's dangerous, brooding, vicious, and far from the man she thought she had first met. And he wants absolutely nothing more to do with her. What seems like fate is what tosses them together. What seems like karma is what can't keep them apart. Mr. tall and handsome lives a life far from the safe haven Mae so desperately craves to have, but after stumbling upon something she shouldn't have seen? Mr. tall and handsome isn't so keen to let her go. ____________________ t r o p e s: Grumpy x sunshine Mature themes Criminal/Gang-related content ____________________ D I S C L A I M E R: this story has been re-edited and republished. the events of this story , for those who have read it prior to February 2023 , have been slightly altered to make way for my improved and matured writing style (as well as to fix plot inconsistencies). originally published : june 2017 newly published : february 2023 ____________________ Copyright © All Rights Reserved

"I never made love, but we sure know how to fuck." She smiled biting her bottom lip. "I'll be ya bad girl, how about that?" she laughed slipping her pants on and buttoning them up. I couldn't help but admire her as I sat back against my headboard with my hands behind my head. She winked at me while grabbing her jacket and left... ...I wonder how her nigga would feel if he found out his good girl was far from it and was bad in every kind of way...
