“She’ll need a lot more than that,” the man replied. “Just remember that if she were to do this on her own, she’d probably fall off the wagon sooner or later. Stay strong for her.”

Collette was about to say something when the other attendees began to applaud the man.

She clapped along with them, her eyes immediately falling on Tara as she got up from her seat and awkwardly made her way to the front of the auditorium.

Collette turned to the man. “I completely intend to,” she said, the earnestness in her voice surprising her.

The man nodded and smiled at her. “That’s good to know.”

He readjusted his jacket, stood up and made his way down the rows of chairs.

He sat behind a lean brunette who was busy biting her nails. He placed a hand on her shoulder and Collette smiled as she watched the girl visibly relax.

Collette turned her attention back to the front of the auditorium where Tara now stood, hands in her pockets, shirt loose about her and her hair tied back in a high ponytail.

She looked over at Collette and smiled, her hunched shoulders immediately relaxing and her stance suddenly more confident.

“Hi,” she started. “My name is Tara and I’m an addict.”

“Hello, Tara,” the auditorium echoed.

Tara began her tale, and as Collette listened to her speak, a part of her relaxed knowing that eventually, everything was going to be just fine.

An Erotic Romance

CHAPTER ONE

Alice could feel her heart in her throat. As she pulled up to the extravagant party that her sister was holding on her yacht, she knew she was out of place immediately.

Alice’s parents wouldn’t even come to any of her sister’s parties. The only reason she came was because it had been three years since she’d spoken to the blonde and successful doctor’s wife.

Maureen had insisted through multiple invitations that Alice should come. Though she’d rather be back in Manhattan with her gorgeous girlfriend Jenna, Alice was too nice to decline, despite the many differences that she and her sister shared.

It wasn’t as if she would actually get to see her girlfriend anyway. Jenna had been staying late after work a lot more lately, and the thought had begun to creep in that perhaps Jenna would rather be spending time with someone else. That someone was her boss. Alice tried to push the thought out of her head for now however. It wasn’t important at the moment.

She parked her small, ten year old Prius in the farthest spot, noting how very inadequate it was compared to all the expensive luxury cars parked around it. There was no way she was made to be in a place like this.

She had done her best to dress to impress, yet she wasn’t decked out in expensive brands or wearing a designer scent.

Her hair was thrown up into a neat bun, small strands of her brunette locks framing her face tastefully.

Her makeup was simple, yet flattering, and her color palette of choice made her brown eyes pop. She had never been as thin and lithe as Maureen, but in her cocktail dress, her curves were a definite asset.
