Bane of my existence.
Rowan

Fuck!! watch as Ava flees from the shop. I want to follow her, but I know that I’ve messed up big

time.

I saw the panic in her eyes, but it was like I was in a trance. My mind shut down completely when

moving her panties to the side and sinking inside her warm heat.

I hadn’t even seen her whole body yet I was fucking hard. Harder than I’ve ever been my entire

fucking life. The whole thing just confused me and scared the crap out of me.

Cursing again, I leave the room. The need to escape filling my bones. I was not only trying to
