My Crazy Heart

MELANIE

As a kid, I had a crush on my older brother's best friend.

As an adult, I fell in love with him.

As a teen, every daydream was about him.

As an adult, he stars in every erotic dream I have.

I want him to see me as a woman and not the girl whose pigtails he used to pull.

I want him to satisfy my deepest desires.

I've crossed that line in my dreams.

Now I'm all grown up, I want to cross every line in real life that Zachary Cross knows he

shouldn't.

ZACH

If appearances were everything people would assume I had it all. They'd be wrong.

I have the trappings of a successful career. I can take my pick of women.

But the one woman I want, is the one I can't have.

She's the one I should never touch.

But like the air that I breathe to keep me alive, she's the one I need.

Melanie Knight.

She's off-limits.

She's my best friend's little sister. I've watched her grow from a tomboy with pigtails into a

beautiful, confident, smart woman.

Her mere presence makes me crave the one thing I can never have.

Her.

I want to leave her breathless, aching, and begging for more.

And whilst it's a line I know I shouldn't cross, my resistance is faltering with each

passing day.
