For I Will Sin

He was her apple-her first temptation, the sweetest sin she never tasted.

Daniel Reed was once Ava's youth minister-the man who spoke of salvation, but made her feel things no prayer could wash away. To a lonely teenage girl, his voice was comfort, his presence intoxicating. She knew he was off-limits. She also knew she wanted him anyway.

Years have passed. Ava is grown now-no longer the girl who watched him from across church pews with wide eyes and restless thoughts. She's a woman who knows her own desire. But time hasn't quieted the heat that stirs whenever he's near.

Now, their paths cross again. And this time, the air between them feels charged-like a match struck in the dark. One glance. One conversation. One lingering moment. That's all it takes to remember what was never allowed... and wonder what might still be.

Some sins don't start with a touch.
Some start with a look. A thought. A slow, burning want.

In the space between sanctity and surrender, temptation waits-aching, relentless, and far too close.
