[Mr Series #1.5] ❝ insolent boy, this world does not belong to you ❞ Waking up naked, next to an equally naked stranger wasn't something Autumn Redwood was proud of and definitely wasn't some sort of deranged hobby. A night fuelled by champagne and lustful glances is not what Autumn wants people to know about, under any circumstances. That proves difficult, however, when she realises the 'stranger' really wasn't a stranger at all. No, it just had to be the one person she was forbidden to go near. The one person strictly off limits. Her brother's best friend. Noah Ramirez. With his play boy reputation weighing on her and her own inability to open up, she finds the whole physical with no strings attached thing ideal. Only, when the line between 'just sex' and 'something more' blurs and suspicions arise, she realises maybe having sex with her brother's best friend wasn't her finest idea. But did she regret it? Fuck no.
