child. Growing up in Vegas, trouble was easy to find and hard to resist.
But these days, I’m a responsible job-holding, tax-paying,
tooth-flossing citizen. I don’t dance on tables or sneak
off to dive bars. I even had that unfortunate tattoo permanently
removed. I’ve changed my ways for good. Most importantly, I’ve sworn off
bad boys. I’ve had my fair share of them, believe me, and men who look
like trouble usually are. Now I only date serious
men with life goals and steady paychecks.
British accent and even hotter body. We shared a moment five years ago,
a moment I’ve never gotten over. So what’s a girl to do? I’ve tried to
steer clear of him, but he’s …amazing. Wait,
did I say amazing? I meant persistent. The man won’t leave me alone.
Why does he have to be so charming? I can’t quite figure him out, and
trust me, I don’t want to. I’m on the wagon where bad boys are
concerned, and that especially includes Cal.
my work and not his lopsided grin or his rock hard abs. But he doesn’t
play fair. The more I try to avoid him, the more he comes around, asking
me to go play and tempting me to return to
my wild child ways. That’s not going to happen, do you hear me? I’m
over men like Cal. Been there. Done that. And I had that fugly tat to
prove it. I’m
not reverting back to bad habits.
deep, scratchy voice, I want to lose myself in him. He makes me miss the
uninhibited side of myself. I thought I’d closed that chapter of my
life for real this time, but Cal…, maybe I could
let a little bit of my wild side poke through. That wouldn’t be so bad,
right? After all, it’s not like Cal’s sticking around for good. He
never stays in one place for long. He’s a professional drifter.
The question is, can I give in just a tiny bit, and still keep my heart intact? They say there’s a first time for everything.
Wear sexy lingerie. You never know when that bad boy might decide to
peek under your blouse, and you do not want to be caught in white
cotton.
2. Know when to give into temptation. Sometimes,
when a man looks that delicious, you can sin all night and make a fresh
start in the morning. Kind of like a diet. A sex diet.
3.
Drive your man’s car as fast as possible—he won’t like it. Don’t let
this dissuade you. After all, it’s not your Mustang on the line, now is
it?
4. Get over that fear of public sex. You don’t have
to be a complete exhibitionist, but the thrill of almost getting caught
adds to the fun.
5. Go ahead and dance on the table. Wild Child motto: no regrets!
6.
Be careful with your heart. When you start having feelings, it
gets real. So don’t, I repeat, don’t fall in love, no matter how
tempting he is. Trust me on this one.
