By Shannon Jeffries

Life and marriage hadn't turned out to be the fairytale she thought it would be. Yes she had the money, yes she had the car, but she hadn't felt satisfied in so long.

She yearned to feel loved, she needed to be touched. Every day was exactly the same. That is until Brian, the CEO from next door, caught her eye as she unloaded the groceries one rainy afternoon.
