He amazed me, to put it simply. He was all charm, laughter and intensity in a sexy man package. When I look back and think about it, my hard candy shell never stood a chance. He made me hungry for passion, romance and all things woman. He snuck in past my tough edge and found my creamy center, so to speak.
I'd seen him forever, just about as long as I'd known everyone else. We exchanged the mandatory hugs, but nothing more. I was aware of him on the outskirts, a regular guy, witty, kind. Then, in an instant our lives touched. I needed an ear, so I grabbed the closest familiar face I could find. Damn, how lucky am I that it was he.
The switch from proverbial shoulder to cry on to lover seemed fluid. It was just a natural occurrence. A mutual need. He sparked my interest, dancing around me, weaving laughter, heat and need. I thought it would be a momentary slaking of lust. It became so much more.
