I’ve always felt the need to control every aspect of my life—my job, sex, and relationships. It has been that way for a long time, but now I feel restless. Every day feels the same, and I'm tired of being let down. I am a strong woman who excels professionally, but I crave something or someone to surprise me and break the cycle I've been stuck in for years. I need someone to challenge me. Is that too much to ask? Just as I was ready to give up, he appeared—the stranger in the bar. Someone who isn’t afraid to pursue what they want. I am what he desires. He radiates confidence, sex appeal, and dominance. Even if only for one night, he’s exactly what I need. I don’t need much to get what I want, but I soon realize one night won’t satisfy me; he becomes what I crave. What I desire. It was only supposed to be fun. No feelings. No emotions. It wasn’t supposed to change. I should have let that one night between us be enough because now my heart is getting involved, and when that happens, it makes things harder, it makes you more vulnerable. You wear your heart on your sleeve, then it is out there to be broken. I believed he was different, but the truth is, he isn’t. He is a liar who lied about everything and about who he is.
