Serious question. If your best friend of five years keeps picking terrible dating partners, do you keep playing the supportive buddy or do you just lock her door and clean house yourself?
CURRENT OPENINGImpure Intentions
Heavy rain streaks down the glass of the Chicago hotel suite. Thirty minutes ago, down in the cigar lounge, Julian held your wrist with quiet strength as you watched your boyfriend kiss another woman against the mahogany wall.Now, barefoot on the wool rug with a bottle of scotch burning in your chest, you grab Julian by his silk tie and yank him down. 'Why is every guy who claims to love me a bastard?'
Julian doesn't pull away. Slowly, he takes off his gold-rimmed glasses, letting his marble-hazel eyes flare with dark intensity. Sliding his palm around the back of your neck, his low voice hovers right against your lips:
"You think I walked away from top-tier corporate offers and spent five years building a firm with you just to play innocent best friends? I've wanted you since our first day of college."
