Forbidden Heat:Between Friends Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Leo's POV

It was a quiet afternoon, the sun beating down on the pavement. I was early.

Sid and I started this place two years ago. It was our dream. But lately, the studio has become less about work and more about... her.

Cici. Sid's wife.

She was a constant presence in my mind. 25 years old, with skin as pale as milk and a body that seemed engineered to destroy men's sanity.

She spent more time in the studio than Sid did, usually "practicing yoga" in the break area while we worked.

I unlocked the door and stepped into the cool air conditioning.

The studio was silent. Sid wasn't at his desk.

"Sid?" I called out.

No answer. Just the faint sound of humming coming from the kitchenette.

My heart kicked into gear. If Sid wasn't here, that meant l was alone with her. Again.
