Always Mine

He fights fires for a living, but the flames building between us may be too big to extinguish.

Niko West is the most beautiful man I've ever laid eyes on.

Six feet, four inches of broody, chiseled Greek god in a firefighter suit.

He's also been my best friend since kindergarten.

He always says the only solid thing in his life is our friendship.

He's Honey Mountain's favorite player and I'm what you'd call a relationship girl.

But when I find myself single for the first time in more than a decade, I make Niko an offer he can't refuse.

Who better to show me what I've been missing?

But now that we've crossed that line, I don't know if friendship is enough for me.
