After sleeping with Jake all night, and the comments he had made to me the morning after, I had to admit I had crossed over a line in my head. I had a crush on him. I did. I couldn't deny it at all. It was undeniably there. He was very attractive with his shirt off. He was very attractive to me in general- the way he protected me, stood up for me, spoke to me. No one had ever gone to bat for me like him before. I couldn't stop thinking about him saying I was gorgeous, beautiful, and stunning. I couldn't stop thinking about how it felt to have his strong arms around me, to fall asleep with him holding me, and to wake up laying on his chest. I knew it couldn't go anywhere. I knew he didn't like me in that way. He was still in love with a ghost and he thought of me as a kid. He affectionately referred to me as such multiple times a day. Regardless, I was fine with that. I appreciated him in my life, even if it was only as a friend. Rillian Wallis had moved into a remote cabin left to her by grandparents after a divorce from a powerful man which left her destitute.

*Second in the Fire Whiskey series*'I had been amazed at the connection Brad and I had, and our connection was inexplicable, but this with Rev was something else. It was different but just as impressive. Was I cursed or blessed to have two amazing men that I loved, that loved me back, and that I had incredible connections with? Rev wasn't even bothered by me staying in a relationship with Brad. How was this situation possible? Never in my wildest dreams would I have asked for this entanglement.
