Kat
Terry Manning makes me wet.
With his dreamy eyes and a body that won’t quit.
I’ve been in love with him since middle school.
But I can’t tell anyone or act on it.
He’s my brother’s best friend and totally off limits.
You know what they say,
Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
And I have two devils to contend with now.
Terry
I’ve been working for the Ashbys since I was a kid.
Watching Kat grow into a beautiful woman
and keeping my distance.
I can’t hold back anymore.
I’m a man, not a saint.
But this will end everything I thought I wanted.
My friendship, my employment and worst of all,
The respect of my best friend. Views: 619

My so called step sister just showed up at my door, years since I last saw her.
I don’t really know the kid who moved in right before I enlisted,
But I know she needs my help,
When she tells me her a-hole daddy sold her to the mob.
She’s grown to be the kind of woman that’s so right she attracts the wrong attention.
Hot lips and an ass as fine as any you’ll end see.
She’s all alone in the world,
But if we marry, she’ll have me,
To honor and protect her.
Promise death to the mob boss/man who’d do her wrong.
Worship her with my body,
And keep her safe in the MC as long as we both shall live Views: 619
