in her stomach. She knew she liked him – she’d been attracted to him since the beginning, and the more he cared for her, the harder she fell.
    Jennifer looked around, took his wrist, and went inside the mall next to the hotel. “I think we need to stop seeing each other.”
    Enzo gazed at her intently and leaned in closer. “Why? You don’t like me?”
    The battle inside Jennifer’s heart was unbearable. She couldn’t lie – she did like him – but she couldn’t tell him either; what about Bruce? She shifted her gaze, trying to look away from him. “It’s a mistake. I barely know you...”
    Enzo took her chin in his hand and gently turned her face toward him. “Look at me. We can take our time if that’s what you want...”
    Enzo leaned forward and got dangerously close to her. Jennifer couldn’t resist and closed her eyes, letting him press his lips against hers. Her knees were wobbling. The man was giving her insane butterflies and messing with her guts in a way that she couldn’t explain. She felt completely helpless and weak, unable to fight. She immediately realized that her crotch was getting soaking wet – and fast – and she felt a burning desire consuming her empty channel.
    It took her several seconds to gather her thoughts and to finally find the will power to push him away. “Stop.” She was panting. “Please. I can’t. We should stop seeing each other. It was a mistake.”
    Jennifer pulled away from his arms and, after turning around to see him one last time, she ran inside the hotel.

Chapter Six
    J ennifer was waiting for Bruce in the hall. She had tried to call his room, but nobody had picked up. She knew she might wait like this for hours, and decided to leave a message for him at reception with her phone number.
    Then, she took a taxi and went back to her hotel room. She took a shower and lay down on her bed, trying to understand what she was feeling. During these three days away, she had missed Bruce but, at the same time she had had more fun than ever with that stranger, Enzo.
    She wasn’t sure if she was attracted to him because of the situation – the excitement of being in a new place, her argument with Bruce, the feeling of freedom she experienced to explore the city – or because there was really something in this man that she couldn’t resist. In either case, he was just a random guy that she’d met in a bar, and he wasn’t worth ruining everything with Bruce. That’s what she was trying to convince herself, that is; but another part of her was telling herself another story – maybe she was really falling for another man.
    What’s wrong with me? Why am I attracted to someone else?
    She kept thinking about it. Bruce wasn’t perfect – very secretive, emotionally unbalanced, slightly arrogant with an enormous ego, unable to appreciate the simple things in life – but she could accept it. After all, it was to be expected; Jennifer knew she wasn’t dating an average Joe.
    Everybody has flaws, after all!
    But most of all, she reminded herself, what she liked about Bruce was that he was a very unique individual with a strong personality, an alpha male who made her safe, very dominant and confident, charismatic, and smart. Surprisingly, Jennifer realized that she was also attracted to him because of his complex character – dark and mysterious, sometimes hard to understand, tough yet sensitive. He was like an enigma she desperately wanted to solve.
    There’s no doubt... between the two of them, Bruce wins. And the sex with him... Oh my God, he’s just amazing – such an incredible lover!
    Jennifer was lost in her thoughts when her phone rang and made her jump. She looked at the number and didn’t recognize it. Jen, why are you checking the number? You don’t know anybody here!
    “Hello?”
    “Jen? Is it you? Are you okay?”
    The voice was deep and familiar. “Bruce! Yes, I’m okay.”
    His tone changed. “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking for
