Becoming Mine

CORA Since the passing of my mother, I've been brought up by the men in my life: a dedicated single dad and an overly cautious older brother, who would be utterly shocked if he discovered my thoughts on that taboo word consisting of three letters. Adding to that list is his best friend and team leader, Nicolas Kane. Despite his captivating green eyes and self-assured grin, he is the most culpable for sheltering me excessively. Interestingly, he's also the one person I wish would free me from that constraint.NICHOLAS This young woman is going to be the reason I end up behind bars, particularly if she continues with her recent antics, like coming home intoxicated, engaging in extreme activities like skydiving, and discussing intimate subjects. Throughout my friendship with her brother, I've experienced everything, including the responsibility of ensuring his rebellious little sister stays in line. It is becoming increasingly challenging to maintain that role, as my instinct to guard her is starting to feel more possessive whenever she's near. That's because, little by little, Cora Knight is undeniably becoming part of my life.
