Ollie

Driverton 3

2024

Driverton’s last standing bachelor has a chance to become more successful than anyone in his town has ever been, but he’ll have to change more than his zip code to do it. One woman. One impossible decision. What will he choose? It’s me again . . . waking, naked and alone, in the middle of a strange bed in God only knows which city. The luxurious feel of the silk sheets is a delicious contrast to the rougher hands that spent hours exciting and exploring every inch of me. My skin is still flushed from the all-over brush of his short beard. How do we keep returning to this place? Our time together isn’t planned, but just like a full moon is an unavoidable occurrence, all it takes is one look, one accidental touch for us to spontaneously combust. He was right to leave Driverton. He had demons he needed to battle and opportunities he couldn’t refuse. He’s taking his shot at success, and I respect that. He needs to remain focused and I’m a distraction. I should say no, but I fell for him back before he had money. Back when all he had were the most beautiful eyes I’d ever seen.
