"Come with me. I'll show you. It's amazing," Lex says. "So... did you read all of Vicky's diaries?"

Smirking, Felicity nods. "I did."

"Any other dirt in there?"

"Oh, yeah. First, Rocco fucking sucks. So does Autumn, but let's just say Ky isn't the only guy in here my sister's fucked."

Eyebrow raised, Lex tilts her head. "Wasn't she a bunny for a while?"

"Okay, the only guy who wasn't a Drifter at the time."

"Rocco?"

"She was pissed at Autumn for saying shit about me, so she slept with Rocco. Apparently, he's terrible. And small."

Her jaw drops. "That's amazing. Please let me read about it. I will pay you to let me read it."

She laughs. "Oh, and she didn't fully sleep with Brock, but she did teach him some stuff."

"Brock?"

"He had his eyes on Summer, and Vicky taught him how to go down on women. She pretended he wasn't very good to keep him coming back, but she said he had the strongest tongue of anyone she's ever been with. Besides her ex-boyfriend, Jeremy. She convinced Brock to try mutual oral, and she gagged on him. Younger guys weren't her thing, but she said she considered abandoning that and make Summer fight for her spot with him."

Her hand flies to her mouth. "Oh my God."

"Yeah, I can't look at him today. But I do want to pat Summer on the back. She got a good one."

They laugh, and it feels normal again. Hailey catches Lex's eye, and she turns to Felicity. "I do need one thing from you."

"Name it."

"Hailey. You need to apologize to her. She and Gavin are dating, and she's part of my family."

She blows out a long breath. "Are they having sex?"

"As far as I know. Hailey talked to me before anything happened, so I assume it has. She's jaded, but she has good reason to be. Her life has been tougher than most, and she has to figure a few things out, but she's safe. Considering Gracie's situation, I'm pretty sure Gavin's making sure they're covered. No pun intended."

"I suppose she's important to him, so I should give her a chance."

"You ever go for her again like you did before, and I will put you in the hospital. I mean it when I say she's family. All bets are off, and I won't apologize for it."

Standing, Felicity nods. "Vicky had a good reason to fear you."

"Fucking right she did."

"I can't promise I'll love her, but I'll give her a chance. For you and for Gavin."

"That's all I can ask."

Chapter Thirty-Five

Griffin's Beach

Colt

Thehotelrestaurantissurprisingly empty this Friday night as Colt sits with Lucas and Hailey. Lex had something with Margaret at VP's house, and she's coming as soon as she finishes that. The poor girl has been spending more time at her grandfather's house than her own since her mother was buried two weeks ago, and Colt wants to go out and find Zane to knock his head around. Something has to put sense back into him.

Lucas and Hailey keep glancing towards each other, and he waves a hand. "Okay, stop that."
