Maximum

Yeah. I like a little action in the sheets, but it doesn’t change the fact that I have responsibilities. I’m a single dad. My little girl’s sweet mother didn’t live to see her grow up, so now it’s all on me to do by right by our daughter.

Maybe because of that, I’ve never let myself get too close to any woman. They’ve mostly been one-night stands, a week at most. But I just moved into this new town, and my neighbor, Lucy, she calls to me in a way no one has since my wife was alive.

Damn. I don’t know what to do. I want her bad. Real bad. I’m damn Maximum, right? I can handle her.

But maybe that’s not enough. Maybe I’m not meant to be with a woman long-term anymore. How can I be sure, especially when I have my daughter to consider?
