I've always yearned for an epic love story, the kind that makes your heart race and your soul soar. Every week, I curl up on the couch, immersing myself in cheesy rom-coms, dreaming of my own happily ever after.
But when I meet the tall, brooding rugby player-my best friend's boyfriend's best friend-something shifts. There's a spark, an undeniable connection that leaves me breathless. Could this be my epic love story? Could this be my heart-pounding, toe-curling romance?
Yet, beneath his intense gaze and rugged exterior, there lies a mystery. As our paths intertwine, I begin to sense something primal and wild about him. Whispers of secrets hidden in the moonlit shadows emerge, hinting at a world where not everything is as it seems.
Maybe he's not just the broody rugby player I think he is. Maybe there's more to our story than meets the eye-something far more thrilling and untamed. My heart races with the possibilities as I wonder if I've found not only my epic love story, but one that transcends the boundaries of the ordinary and enters the realm of the extraordinary.

"You don't like it rough?" he asks me. Oh, okay, I smirk back at him, two can play this game. "I like it... but only during sex, " I say to him watching as his smirk drops and eyes widen just for a split second. "What? Didn't expect that?" I ask putting on extra sweetness to my tone. I move closer to him, going on my tiptoes so my lips are just barely grazing his ear. "But usually I like to be the one doing the pulling, " I whisper to him and brush my fingers through the hair at the back of his head and yank, hard.
