Because You Opened Your Heart by Ian Finn

It was supposed to be casual.
Now he’s all I can think about.
This Valentine’s Day, will I open myself up to love?
Noah is the hottest guy I’ve ever been with.
We spend every Friday night locked in a hotel room.
Rubbing our muscular bodies together.
I’m obsessed with his rock-hard pecs.
His thick arms, and his ruggedly handsome face.
Not to mention everything below the belt.
It’s casual and impersonal, just like I want.
After being screwed over, I’ve closed my heart.
I don’t do commitment.
I don’t even share my last name.
But it’s hard to remain anonymous…
when your secret lover walks into your classroom.
Unfortunately, one of my third graders lost her parents.
Her Uncle Noah is her new guardian.
He’s here for her parent-teacher conference.
And my worlds are colliding in ways I never imagined.
Will we be able to juggle two different kinds of relationships?
Or will the feelings I’ve been denying spill over into true love?
