I shouldn't have remembered him.
He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant.
I didn't know his name.
We never made eye contact.
There was no connection between us at all.
But I could feel him.
The tingle down my spine.
The command in his presence.
The snap of tension in the air around him.
That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.
The second time was different.
He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building.
Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered.
My breath was robbed.
My senses on high alert.
My body hummed.
That was just the beginning.
He was the leader of the mafia.
I was about to fall in love with him, and his name.
Cole Mauricio.
Full length stand-alone.
