<p><p>My past taught me to play it safe.</p><p>To stay far away from handsome men who promised it all.</p><p>My life was good without them. Stable, secure, predictable.</p><p> </p><p>But one kiss showed me that I'd been playing it safe for far too long.</p><p>One night, and all I wanted was more of his wildfire.</p><p>One challenge and my carefully constructed walls tumbled down.</p><p> </p><p>Amidst the rubble, I realized there was more to this man than I ever dreamed.</p><p>When everything fell apart, he showed me what it meant to stay.</p><p>How to truly <em>live</em>.</p><p> </p><p>But some demons don't stay buried.</p><p>The past can come knocking when you least expect.</p><p>And the life he's showing me might be shorter than either of us expected...</p><p><br></p></p>
