I, Brittany Malene, have been dubbed the oh-so honorable title of the school's "Slut." With great power, comes great responsibility and I just have to say that a lot of legwork went into this achievement. Pun intended. Okay, so it's not exactly ideal, but I'm the queen of making the best out of a sticky situation. Again, pun intended. Anyway, I think that what a girl chooses to do with her body is entirely her choice. While I've definitely made some pretty questionable choices over the years, there is a bigger picture at hand. From trying to save a damaged bad boy who wasn't worth the side effects, to saving other girls from making the same mistake. Needless to say, the walls I've meticulously built around my heart are strong enough to make conservatives weak in the knees. So, my brother's best friend, Sam "Nice Guy" Jacobs, is the least of my worries. Or so I thought.

Scott O'Brian was suddenly lost. His body no longer responded to his rationale side of the brain. His entire being lay still as he watched this girl before him. Is this even real, this can't be happening, can it? Scott looked into the most amazing green eyes he had ever seen. Eyes that reflected all that his heart felt and more; the same eyes that had haunted him in his dreams, along with the sweetest voice calling his name. Could all this be true? Could this beautiful creature before him be the one he had been waiting for all this time? Samanta Monserrate closed her eyes as Scott held her in his arms, helping her to her feet at the beach. Feelings of peace, and harmony surrounded her, and tingles that made her skin break in goose bumps. The electricity flowed in her veins but more than that the tingles that once she had shared since she knew Scott had turned into a strong, heated sensation within her. A sensation she feared in her heart, but had become almost addicted. She had been hurt so much before, her brain told her to run but her treacherous heart and body needed him like air to breath. And the worst part was that she had to probably loose all that she desired in order to protect her family. Being forced into actions that were completely against her nature, she knew she would loose the one gift the heavens had sent her. This stranger whose touch made her feel alive was all she had dreamed off. And in doing so she would end breaking her own spirit, her very soul. Could she be able to live this life? Could she be able to open her heart to this man, knowing she would have to lose him in the end? Or would she run before getting hurt again?
