COMPLETED 💯 His eyes were serpent blue. Dark and poisonous. A meaning hid behind his gaze when he saw me for the first time. I've heard about sweet butterflies. I have even felt some but with him. It was tremors. Beautiful erotic tremors that burned my whole world after he took a step in. How do I tell him this attraction is too much? How do I face him when he looks at me like I am his meal? An only meal. How do I continue spending my summer in that house knowing he's in the same roof under me?

I tipped my head up mustering whatever courage I could gather at the moment to say how this is bad. That it can't happen again. We can't happen because he is my best friend's hot single father.
