ClarkI see myself as mature and responsible for a twenty-four-year-old-I have a steady job, a comfortable apartment, and eventually I'll find the right guy to settle down with. Some might find this boring, but at least I know what I want. That is, until reconnecting with a childhood companion flips my preconceived notions upside down. Skylar was my first real friend-my first crush too-and twelve years later, he's still the same gorgeous and charismatic free spirit. I'm easily sucked back into his orbit, my protests futile when it comes to his amusingly harebrained ideas. I can't let myself fall for him, though, because I'm searching for forever and he only wants casual.SkylarIf you're looking for a good time, I'm your guy. I love hookups, shaking my booty at the club, and having fun. I've seen how love can hurt and have mended too many broken hearts to risk my own.Still, having Clark back in my life makes me feel grounded...and sort of mushy inside. It's not only because his chunky glasses turn him into an adorably hot Clark Kent. It's also how he makes me feel like I can be more. Which is why hooking up with him is a bad idea. But resisting him becomes impossible, and before I know it, each touch, kiss, and night spent together only makes me crave more.We want different things, so there's no way this will last. But Clark makes me consider breaking my rules and trying this boyfriend stuff for real. What's a guy to do when his best friend steals the heart he's afraid to give? I guess it comes down to potentially hurting him, or losing the only guy I've ever really wanted. Pretty wild, right?
