The relationship is very intense and, if it becomes known to others, it would be frowned upon.
The attraction was almost instant and is somewhat forbidden. She is 18, he is 36 years old.
Kinsley’s lover is the best friend of her mother. The relationship is very intense as is the sex between them. Kinsley and Justin are majorly attracted to each other. They find any time and any place to be together. And any place they can have sex. That is in the past. After discussing marriage and being together, they break up as Justin (and we find this out later) has orchestrated a scenario as he suspects Kiki, Kinsley’s mother, is coming to visit as she is becoming suspicious and thinks Justin has a girlfriend. He wants Kiki to believe that he is seeing call girls.
Kinsley returns home after seven years. She has completed her degree and become a sexologist. Justin makes the decision to return to his practice. Kiki is excited to have her daughter and her best friend back. Justin is apprehensive his relationship with Kinsey will be discovered. But he also wants to continue where they left off. The end is a cliffhanger (see that this story is Part 1).
The story is told in the past and present from both perspectives. At times, I did have trouble keeping track when the point of view changed, but settled in for the read once my brain realised whose point of view it was. This story, and it is only Part One, is erotically charged and full of angst. If you aren’t into a story containing a significant amount of sex, probably best to seek another story. However, if sex romps are your jam, download now!
