Slow Burn

My new neighbor ticks all the right boxes.Tall – check.Muscular – check.Tatted – double-check.Until he opens his mouth. Adam is grumpy, rude, and obnoxious as hell.And I really should tell him exactly where he can shove his insults.Instead, I bite my tongue.He intrigues me, and I can’t fight the need I have to find out what caused the pain so evident in his dark eyes.And soon, the thick, hungry flames surrounding Adam consume me.But I should’ve known better.Because when you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned.
