Hot for teacher's widower? Maybe a little more than I should be.
I merely meant to comfort Ren, to help him find steady ground in the middle of an ocean of pain. It was supposed to be a one-time thing.
Only… our chemistry, set ablaze by our extreme size and age differences, was something neither of us had experienced before. It was break-the-bed good and far too potent to stop at just the one time, so we didn't. And we've been hiding it from everyone—including his son, one of my closest friends—ever since.
I know this can only end one way. I’m just the stand-in. The much, much younger guy with his late husband's physique who’ll temporarily make him forget his grief.
If only he hadn't been so… sigh. Amazing. Funny. Brilliant. Beautiful.
I didn't mean to fall in love with him, but I couldn't help myself. If only he were ready to fall in love again.
Is it too much to hope that with time and a little help from the late Mr. Paige, Ren could let me be the love of the second half of his life?
