A Novella by Ivy Noir
Ethan
The second I touched her, I knew I was in trouble.
Cassidy’s not just some woman I’m getting paid to pretend with—she’s the woman I want.
How the hell did this happen?
I’m supposed to be the professional here.
So why do I keep imagining what it would be like to have her, really have her?
I watch her laugh at something her aunt says, and it makes me want to pull her aside, pin her against the wall, and kiss her until she forgets we’re pretending.
Would she let me?
Does she feel this pull between us, or is it just in my head?
Cassidy
I can’t ignore the heat in his eyes as he watches me. Is it real? Or is he just playing the role?
Every time he touches me, something inside me melts, and I have to remind myself that this is all just pretend.
But then why does it feel so real?
Why does my pulse race when he brushes against me?
I can’t let myself fall for him. That would be foolish.
But as I watch him, muscles flexing with ease, my thoughts spiral out of control.
Why am I imagining him taking me in his arms right now?
He’s pretending, I’m pretending.
So why does it feel like the only thing fake is the title?
In this steamy short story, a curvy girl unknowingly hires her former high school bully to be her fake boyfriend during a family vacation. As their heated past transforms into undeniable passion, will these enemies-to-lovers risk breaking all the rules for a chance at real love? Standalone/HEA.
Genre: Romance
