He’s my best friend’s dad. The man who’s hosting me for the summer.

And he stars in my most secret daydreams.

Sure, he’s a musician who plays the hottest clubs every night—but even then, Duke isn’t your average heartthrob. Instead of six pack abs, he’s got a barrel chest. When he walks, the ground trembles beneath his boots.

I don’t care. Maybe it’s not a normal college girl fantasy, but I’d give anything to feel that big belly squishing me into a bed.

Can’t let it show, though. My best friend would never understand this crush. But I need to let it out. I’m going crazy here, sleeping just a few doors down from the man I crave.

So I write it all down in my journal. All my hopes and wishes; all my forbidden desires for my best friend’s burly dad.

It’s fine. My little secret.

And he’ll never read my dad bod dreams.
