Desperate Seduction

Tessa stood on my doorstep.

She looked like she’d been crying.

The moment our eyes met, she threw herself into my arms.

I instinctively caught her before immediately pulling her back by the shoulders.

“Tessa… what are you doing?”

“Oh my God, Hayes.” She looked me over from head to toe before her eyes filled with fresh tears. “I came as soon as I heard. I can’t believe this actually happened.”
