Having Henley by Megyn Ward

I’m the Gilroy your mother warned you about.

I’m a simple creature.I drink. I f*ck. I fight. If you’re looking to do any of those things, I’m down.

But I never do the same woman twice so if you’re looking for something a little more long term than the time it takes us to both get off then don’t blame me when you get hurt because you’ve been warned.I’m not a return to the scene of the crime kind of guy.I like my life. I like my freedom. At least I did. But that was before she came back into my life and ruined it all.Ruined me.

As much as I want to blame her though, I can’t. Because the simple life I’ve built myself, really isn’t simple at all. It’s a fortress I’ve constructed to keep her out. To keep her away because Henley O’Connell is dangerous to me in ways I can’t even begin to describe.A life without her is easier. Cleaner. That’s what I keep telling myself and I’ll keep saying it, over and over, until I believe it. Because Henley is the only woman I’ve ever really wanted.And she’s the only woman I can never really have.
