My friend Dessy kept telling me I needed to get out of my shell, socialize with other people especially other men instead of sitting in my room all day yawning about how boring and empty my life felt. So I finally listened. I downloaded the dating app she recommended, TanTan, and set up my profile. It didn't even take five minutes before I got a match. Most of the guys didn't interest me at all, but one stopped me cold. A Chinese guy hot as hell with tattoos covering almost every inch of his visible skin. He looked exactly like the bad-boy gang-star types you read about in novels. dark, intense eyes that felt like they could see right through you, sharp jawline, and a body so ripped and dangerous it made my stomach flip just looking at his pictures. I got instantly wet staring at him.
