Imperfect Forgery

It all began with the wrong number.

I should have ended the call for both our sakes, but the man on the other end made me laugh.

I thought I had forgotten how to.

So I called him again. And again.

Until his deep voice awoke forbidden desires and I gave in to the temptation to meet with him.

I know better than to expect a happily-ever-after, but I am dying to believe the fairy tale could be mine.

Be it just for one night.

Yet, the reality proves to be a thousand times worse.

He is a former FBI agent, set to solve the museum heist that cost him his job and determined to find the artist who creates perfect forgeries.

That would be me.

Will he believe that choice is the luxury I never had? Will his hypnotic blue eyes darken with spite once he learns of my sins?

But above all, what lengths will the depraved mafioso who raised me be willing to go to keep me inside the lonely prison of fear and torture he's crafted for me?
