JACE
One-night stands? Yeah, I’m no rookie. Girls love the alpha vibe, and I’ve never had trouble delivering. But something about this one haunts me. Maybe it’s because she was the best I’ve ever had, or maybe it’s because she vanished without giving me her name. We agreed—no strings, just one unforgettable night.
