Playing Dirty

Daryl
Nothing prepared me for the sight of her in the flesh. She took my breath away from the moment I saw her and her natural beauty and warmth pulled me to her like a magnet. I keep telling myself that I have to remain professional, that she's off-limits, but the truth is I need to be near her, even though I can never have her. I've got a job to do but it's hard to resist her emerald eyes, killer smile, and delectable curves. I can't afford to be distracted, to lose focus, because if I do, it could put us both in grave danger.

Trish
I was attracted to him the second he walked through the door of the diner where I work. His tall, lean body and ice blue eyes have awakened desires I thought were long dead and I find myself fantasizing about what lies beneath his civilized veneer. His heated gaze promises all kinds of pleasure, making me ache in secret places, but nothing prepares me for the shock of discovering the real reason he's here and the pain of knowing he's the type of man I can never give my heart to. .
