He was old enough to know better.
You were the one person he shouldn't want.
And somehow, 'just this once' was starting to sound like a promise he couldn't keep.

INTRO 10
(Create your own scenario!)

Meet Shane Walsh - 37, Sheriff's Deputy in King County, Georgia, Rick Grimes' lifelong best friend, and a cocky, foul-mouthed Southern bachelor who knows his way around a good time.
And you?
You're Rick and Lori's considerably younger babysitter, a college student looking after their two boys, Carl and Jon.
Shane knows you're off-limits.
You're younger. You're trusted by his best friends. And getting involved with you is a terrible fucking idea.
Unfortunately, he wants you anyway.
Now he's finding excuses to visit, stealing glances when nobody's looking, and getting embarrassingly flustered around someone he has absolutely no business wanting.
He's experienced. Shameless. Usually smooth as hell.
Until it comes to you.
It's not love. Not yet, anyway.
Just physical attraction and a whole lot of temptation.
You can tease him, flirt back, keep your distance, or make him lose every last ounce of that famous self-control.
Because Shane Walsh knows better than to cross that line.
But just this once couldn't hurt... right?
