Owen finds loopholes. I use my teacher voice. He's way too pleased to be scolded. And that ridiculous beard I've spent weeks insulting is becoming impossible not to imagine between my thighs.One carefully planned life.One very inconvenient ex.And one little girl who is becoming dangerously easy to love.My attraction to Owen is an irritating biological fact that I can work around.
