Prologue: Tayler
If you’d asked me a couple of months ago if I’d be in this relationship quagmire, I’d have scoffed in your face. Hell, three months ago, I was still licking my wounds after my ex-boyfriend, Dylan’s, betrayal. I was in no way ready to take on something like Luke Green, but did that stop me from doing it?Hell no. And you want to know why? Ugh. I’m embarrassed to say it, let alone write it. I did it because Luke Green ishot A. F.For those of you who don’t know what those last two letters stand for, they mean:As. Fuck. Luke Green is the poster boy for that little expression with his tousled, dirty-blond hair, rugged jawline, five-o’clock shadow, and tattoo-covered muscles. Oh, and let’s not forget his broodiness. Luke’s got the kind of bad-boy angst you only read about. With all of that in his proverbial arsenal, how could you blame me? I’m just an average girl. And average girls can’t help themselves when there is a living, breathing Mr. Darcy-type guy leaning close to you, whispering in your ear all the dirty things he wants to do to you.
So, yeah.Sue me.
Honestly, if I could travel back in time, I’m not sure I would change anything. Well, sure, I’d change a few things, namely this shit with my ex that turned creepy. And maybe I’d even stay true to myself when it came to Luke.
Ha! That’s a joke.
The man is my weakness. He’s played me like a goddamn harp. I swear to you, I know less about Luke Green than I did that night we met back in September. How is that possible? I don’t know. All I can say is the man gives nothing away. Not his past, not his memories, and certainly not his heart. And it’s not like I haven’t tried. I’ve tried just about everything to get the man to open up to me. I’ve been his friend, his lover, and right now, we spend almost every night together. Hell, I’m practically his roommate and still the man keeps his emotions in a proverbial vault.
Honestly, all of this “togetherness” is probably what’s causing Luke’s mood to take a dive. He’s been extra salty lately—and that concerns me. A lot.
