Nate Williams
I was living a lie. I wanted something more from my life.
I could barely take care of myself. I liked my solitude, but my bed was cold.
Derek could fill that void. If only I could see the real man under the hostility. His attitude should be a deal breaker. A man like him could never give me what I wanted. There was no way that I was going to risk my heart.
I didn’t know what love was. I had settled for living in denial.
It was my fault. I let it happen. It was time for a change. I had something that he wanted. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to give it to him.
I know that I haven’t lived a day in my life. Derek is that bad boy. It’s not what he says, but it’s how he says it that has me trying in vain to resist his charms. I have never been a dog person. There’s definitely something about this dog and his owner. Thinking about him is wrong.
Derek Hollings
He just rubbed me the wrong way. Showing up unannounced when I was feeling vulnerable was asking for me to lash out.
Nate’s body is a work of art that needs to be appreciated. I don’t feel that I can give him all of me. I’ve been through too much to let somebody get that close again.
The only thing that I had to hold onto was my dog. He was loyal to a fault. He was always there and then he wasn’t.
It was such a fine line between love and hate. I was feeling the difference. One was someone that was bad for me. The other was somebody that I felt was a little naïve.
There was no changing my situation. I wanted something that I couldn’t have. He was everything. The way that he looked at me is more than I deserve. Wanting him is making me hungry.
My needs burn for Nate in a way that I have never felt before.
I can’t tell him how I feel. I have to show him. Make him believe that I am more than I appear. I will have him. I just have to find a way. I will find a way.

The story was okay but there were so many typos that it was too confusing to follow. It was hard to tell who was talking where and the chapters or section ran in to each other at a breakneck pace. At the rate that the characters progressed it seemed more like cheesy porn than everlasting love...
