Two best friends grow up together, fall in love, get married and live happily ever after. But what about the one where the girl ends up in the friend zone after awkwardly trying to hit on her best friend? That's my story. More than ten years have passed, and although our platonic relationship has somehow remained intact, I still cringe when I think about like now. I was supposed to be preparing my hotel for all the guests from the St. Patrick's Day parades, but instead I look at my best friend as he fixes one of my sinks. Remembering his polite refusal years ago usually helps me come to my senses, but this time it doesn't work. Not when there was an obvious shift in the air. And certainly not when he simply grabbed me by the hips, growled in my ear and told me to run. *** “Four Leaves” is a stand-alone short story from the “Holino Nights” series. None of these books need to be read in order. This is a sweet, intense and fun read intended for a mature adult audience as it includes explicit, consensual sex scenes. It should NOT be used as a guide to kink or BDSM relationships. The author is not responsible for any MC attachments or sudden desire for someone to chase you through the woods. Reader discretion is recommended. 18+
