Stella and Miles are two destined souls who met when someone else just didn't see them for who they could have been together. 

Stella is a baker, business owner and all around Boss B*tch. She has made a name for herself in the bakery world. Everyone knows about Stella's and the out of this world treats she makes. Stella is just missing one thing. The man she couldn't have 8 years ago because she was forbidden by her brother to date him. 

I love Stella and her spunk along with her drive for what she wants. She knows what she wants along with how hard she is going to have to work to get it! She has no problem working hard to get it. The issue is what is going to stand in her way. When she hold back how she feels about Miles anymore I couldn't help but cheer her on!! I was like YESSSS GIRL!! GET YOUR MAN!! There are times when you have to say screw what everyone else wants, and take what you want instead. 

Miles is the Brothers Best friend that you have a crush on that you aren't supposed to. But when you have that ZING with someone you can't just let it go. Miles knew from the beginning that Stella gave him that ZING.  When she walked full force into his life, he knew she was it for him. I felt for him because he was stuck between a rock and a hard place! I loved how he loved Stella. He loved her for who she was, not what she had.

These two together were what you always dreamed a couple could be! Two powerhouses in their own rights that would continue to build their empires together! Not just their businesses but their love and families.

Exhibitionism
Throat 📿 
Praise 🙌🏻 
She's a Brat
He 💦 👖
Voyeurism 

These two were dynamite 🧨 in the bedroom!! They weren't shy about what they wanted and what they liked!! 

I loved that they shared experiences with each other and spoke freely about what they had previously done. 

Things were definitely kept spicy 🥵 and he wasn't afraid to show her how much he wanted her and vice versa!
