Adrian
I’m supposed to be shaking it for drunk bridesmaids in tiaras, rocking my stripper cop uniform at a bachelorette party. Instead, when the door swings open, I’m face-to-face with pure testosterone and confusion, with four men staring at me like I just dropped in from another dimension.
Then I see him. Vince. My high school flame turned NFL golden boy. The guy who ghosted the second scandal hit and life got complicated. Now he’s right here, bigger and broader, watching me like I’m still his favorite mistake.

I’ve spent ten years building the perfect image: the good guy, the clean-cut athlete, the man who never makes waves. Then Adrian walks into my best friend’s bachelor party as the entertainment, all attitude and temptation, and my carefully constructed control shatters. He’s still a wildfire. Untamed and unapologetic, he is the kind of man who doesn’t care what he burns. I told myself I buried those feelings a decade ago. But one look at him proves that was a lie.
