Protecting What's Mine - What's Mine Duet, #1

There's nothing wrong with a harmless little crush, right?And who better to crush on than the gorgeous man next door?The one who would never look twice in my direction. Except he does. The first time he pins me in place with his dark gaze, I'm rendered speechless.  The first time he lays his hands on me, I melt.  And the first time he takes me, well.I fall to pieces, wondering if I'll ever be the same again.
Everything about him screams danger. And yet I'd be lying through my teeth if I didn't admit that was part of the attraction. Chicago is supposed to be a new beginning for me.  A chance to find my bearings and live again.  The man next door is the last person I should be getting involved with. And yet, here I am. A moth dancing too close to the flickering flame, hoping I don't get torched.
