I slept with a stranger in a dark bar room after one too many tequila shots and a very bad month.

I didn’t even get his surname.

Just his hands on my waist.
His mouth against mine.
And the way he looked at me like he already knew every ugly part of me and wanted me anyway.

Then I woke up the next morning and realised the stranger was Rowan Mercer.

My brother’s best friend.

The same Rowan who ruined my teenage life when he rejected me at seventeen with a quiet, devastating:
You’re too young, Bella.

Now I’m twenty- four.
He’s twenty-nine.

Rowan still watches me too closely.
Still gets angry when other men touch me.
Still says my name like it means something dangerous.

And worst of all?

The more time we spend together, the more I realise he never looked at me the way a brother’s best friend should.

He looks at me like he’s starving.
