heat·stroke /ˈhētˌstrōk/ noun a condition marked by fever and often by unconsciousness, caused by failure of the body's temperature-regulating mechanism when exposed to excessively high temperatures
For too many years Blaze Carrington riled me up.
Just the sight of his smug, perfect face made my blood boil. And, he knew it.
He’d goad me… taunt me… push my buttons.
I knew that he knew and that only annoyed me further.
As kids, and then teenagers, he''d torment me relentlessly. The angrier I’d get, the smugger he’d become.
Everyone loved him, but not me. I just wanted to punch him in the face as girls fawned over.
Then, he left for college. My life calmed. I was able to breathe and live my life without the chaos known as Blaze. I was happy…
Only now, he’s back. My blood is once again heating at the mere thought of Blaze Carrington.
But this time, I feel feverish and it’s not with anxiety or ire…
This time, it’s desire.
