He's nothing like the boys in the city, then again, he's not a boy at all nor are we near the city. Everyday I feel myself going breathless with each touch from him. I feel my heart race as I see him working. I feel each order resonate across my body, making me ache in a way that I know it's wrong. I shouldn't want him, not when he's my father's best friend. HEATH He asked me for a favor, to house his daughter and make her see how harsh reality is. It was supposed to be easy when she's what I expected with her red shoes and quirky mouth.
