Adrift

Rani Shah is everything I can't have-too young, too sweet, too innocent. Not to mention, she's my late wife's sister and my son's nanny.



So when she asked me to kiss her, I should have refused.

When she begged me to touch her, I could have turned her down.

When she coaxed me to take the one thing she's never given away-her virginity-a better man would have walked away.



Should have, could have, would have . . .

But I didn't.



She should have been living the carefree life of a nineteen-year-old.

She could have avoided all my broken pieces and jagged edges.

She would have been able to save herself before I got a taste.



Should have, could have, would have . . .

But she didn't.



Some love stories are forbidden from the start.

Ours is one of them.
