Ethan, the new librarian, is calm, confident, and gently insistent - the kind of man who reads her cues before he leans in, whose touch promises safety as much as desire. For Embry, surrender doesn't come easily; trust must be earned, and emotional safety comes first. But his quiet presence stirs something in her that she can't ignore.
As they navigate Maplewood's quaint streets, local festivals, and creative projects, Embry and Ethan discover that the chemistry between them isn't just fire - it's the kind of slow-burning connection that can heal old wounds. Together, they explore their passions, tease their boundaries, and challenge each other to open up, both creatively and emotionally.
From stolen glances among bookshelves to lingering touches that defy propriety, their journey is about more than heat: it's about finding someone who sees the real you, and who makes it safe to fall... a little at a time.
One night becomes more than a memory. One spark becomes a life-changing glow. Read more in this Maplewood short story (approximately 26 pages).
