Dodging Bullets

Aiden's a loner. She pushes everyone away in order to protect herself. Aiden is precise when it comes to making sure no one ever gets past her walls. But when Aiden hooks up with a gorgeous man named Kye, she didn't know he'd stick around. Could Kye be the one to finally break down Aiden's barriers? Or will they both fall apart in the process?

I dodged a bullet.

I dodged the bullet that you are.

Because the empty feeling of loneliness is easier to deal with then the searing pain that you could leave in my chest.

Searing pain that could destroy every last part of me, pain that could kill me.

You're a sharp shooter though.

Your finger never leaves the trigger.

Your strong hands have no shake, your gun doesn't jam, you don't hesitate.

Your aim remains constantly on my cold heart.

I'm sure you've never missed a target before.

But I have learned to be faster than a bullet.

I have and will do it again...
