Guarded Hearts

My boss's bodyguard is every temptation I can't afford.

Beautiful. Thoughtful. Protective.

Falling for Pasha could mean I lose everything: my dream job as a dancer on tour, my chance to pay off debts, and my heart.

At first, I thought we could have one night together, but I was wrong.

I can't escape this pull we have between us like two planets circling each other-always close but never colliding.

When our popstar boss comes to me to help him learn a dance for her wedding, yes is the only answer. It doesn't matter that being near him makes me want what I can never have.

Every move we make reminds me of what it was like to be tangled up in bed together.

Love taught us both that love and loss go hand in hand.

Except no one has ever made me feel as safe as Pasha has.

Maybe-letting our guards down could mean forever this time.
