Insatiable

The ultimate revenge.  A precarious second chance at love.  And a dirty trick that plays so hard on hearts that one gets broken...and the other one could lose everything. 

So much for that.  It’s all I can think about after seeing the questionable text message.  His reaction to it would be telling to anyone else.  But me, stupidly, I trust him.  Until I find out the truth and it sets me free.  Jagger is the last person I want to go to, but in my line of work, I don’t see how I have a choice.  But the past comes back to bite me in the ass, just like I thought it would, and in more ways than one.  Painfully, he’s still the hottest man I know, and the smartest.  And he holds the ticket to my future, but does he know that he may have the ticket to my heart, too?

I know she’s coming back the second that I see her name on the list.  Bowie is no more impressed by her decision to come knocking on my door than I am.  But I get it.  And with the industry - and by that, I mean my brothers - breathing down my neck, I haven’t got a choice but to hire her.  The past still haunts me.  I try to hide it but, just like back then, Bowie can see right through me.  It’s a gift.  So is she.  But I can’t tell her that, or it could cost us everything.  He was a fool.  But can I count on him being fool enough to stay away?  If I don’t play my cards right, I risk losing two of the things that I love the most in life.   

...and she’s worth it.  She just doesn’t know it...yet.
