Aftertaste
Nikki Michelle

Write steamy books.
Fake a happy marriage.
Pretend temptation didn’t have a Texas drawl and a slow, easy smile.
Then narrator Julius Fontaine stepped out of her headphones and into her face — married, messy, and dangerous — and suddenly fiction felt a little too real.
Blank pages turned into bad decisions.
One night.
One delicious mistake she can’t quite spit out.
**P.S. To Chris Renee, thank you for always having my back and reading whatever I ask you to.
**Also…a version of this story was previously released in an anthology called 'If Only for One Night'. It has been revised and edited to become an entirely new story, with new characters, and a new ending.
