“When I say I want every layer gone, it has nothing to do with your body and everything to do with what’s underneath.”

I knew her body before I knew her.

One night turned into two.
Two nights turned into three.
And before I knew it I was hooked.

But I no longer wanted to be the man that occasionally warmed her bed, I wanted to be the man by her side. The man she invited into her world, the man she let love her.

But Courtney didn’t want that life, she was a closed book, filled with pages of details she didn’t want to share. She wanted two-dimensional conversations, instant gratification and fleeting moments.

I had every intention of showing her just how good we could be. I had patience. I had time, but when her biggest secret is accidentally revealed I realized I didn’t really have anything, because I never had her.
