“Fuck, Alex,” I growled deep and low. My lips only an inch from hers. “I want to be inside of you so badly right now.”

“What’s stopping you?” She asked her voice turning breathy in an instant, her hands ran up my chest to my shoulders.

“The fact that we’re out in public and I don’t want to be arrested in Mexico.”

“Mmhmm,” she purred against my ear. “You make a fine point. This was nice and all, but I think we need to go back to our room now.” She said the last as she ground her hips with mine. “Can you walk out of here?”

“Not if you keep rubbing against me like that.” Even then I would be sporting some sort of wood, but that seemed to be the case anytime Alex was near. There weren’t that many people around, so no one should notice in the short amount of time it would take to wrap a towel around my hips and get up to our room as quickly as possible.

“Maybe you should put me down then.” She flashed me a smile as I released her only to then grab her hand as we made our way out of the pool and over to what little stuff we’d brought down.

My steps faltered when I saw on the table a note in bold marker with the word, ‘CHEATER’ on it. I only stopped for a second before I grabbed the note and crushed it in my hand, all the while looking around the area. Who had left this here?

I could feel Alex’s breath against my arm as she clutched it with her free hand, but she didn’t say a word as I picked up our towels and started to make our way back to our suite.

There was no worry about my erection as we made our way through the crowd at the intersection that took you from the pool to either the main hotel, the outdoor restaurant, or the private houses that we were staying in. The moment I saw that note it was gone, and only left fury in its place.

Just as we made it passed the crowd and down the path to our place, I spotted a woman who was way too skinny to be healthy, with medium length brown hair and brown eyes looking back at me with a smirk on her face. It wasn’t just any woman. It was Ashlyn.

This woman was trying to ruin the best thing that had ever happened to me and I had no clue why. I’d only met her a couple of times and spoken just as many words to her. My vision went red and my feet started moving against the hot concrete. I felt nothing but my rage. The only thing on my mind was to stop her from spreading her lies, trying to ruin me, and what I had with Alex.

“Luke! STOP!” Alex appeared in front of me, her hands on my chest pushing me backwards. “You can’t do whatever’s going through your head right now. This is what she wants.” Her eyes widened as if she knew what I wanted to do. “Think of what will happen. Please!” She begged, pushing with all of her might to stop me in my tracks.

I kept moving forward, my only agenda to stop Ashlyn until I heard Alex squeal and start to fall. Without thought, I swept Alex into my arms as if she were my bride, turning in the direction of where we were staying. I no longer cared about what Ashlyn was trying to do and only wanted to make sure Alex was unharmed.

“Luke! What the hell is going on?” she whisper-yelled, looking alarmed.

Instead of answering, since I’d already drawn enough attention, I focused on getting us back and keeping my cool.

Once we were in our room, I sat Alex down on her feet and then quickly closed the door and all the curtains and blinds.

Walking back, Alex watched me with unblinking eyes. “Will you please tell me what’s going on? You’re scaring me.”

Kneeling down in front of her, I took her small hands in mine. “I’m sorry, baby. I never meant to scare you. I lost my head there for a minute and I wanted to regroup and make sure no one could see or hear us.”

“But why? One moment we were coming back here to jump each other and the next thing I know, you…”

“I lost it. You know how I was telling you about how I thought I saw a camera flash?”

“Yeah, of course, I remember.”

“I had my eyes on the area and I saw a hand reach out from the shrubbery next to the table that was between our two chairs. It was there one-second and gone the next. I got distracted with your gorgeous body against mine and your words, but when we got to our stuff, there was a note on the table.”

“Okay? This started you acting weird?” She asked with a small amount of uncertainty in her voice.

“It was Ashlyn Jade. When we were coming back here, I saw her in the crowd watching us with a smirk on her face, and I knew that it was her that put the note on the table. God knows what else she’s done since she found us. There’s a good chance that she posted more pictures on the internet of her with me in the background, and possibly you too. There’s got to be something to make her stop. I’m going to contact my publicist to see if there’s anything that can be done, or if I should put out a statement.”

“There’s got to be something we can do. Its slander against your character.” Her sweet face became red, her eyebrows drawn in anger. “Maybe you need to set up your own social media account and post some pictures of your own, showing you’re not with her and that she’s lying. Hell, I don’t know. Up until recently, my life has been pretty boring, so I haven’t had anything to post. I only have a Facebook account.”

“I’ll talk to Sarah and see what she says, but she’s been trying to get me to open up at least one account for years, so she’ll most definitely be on board with me posting pictures. Will you do it with me? If I’m going to start, I want you to be a part of this with me.”

She blinked up at me a few times before speaking, unsure of what I wanted. I didn’t even know what I wanted since I hadn’t been a part of the social media world. “Of course.”

She was with me no matter what. Even if she didn’t know what I wanted. Even if I didn’t know what I was asking.

We were back in LA,in Luke’s new house, a new bed, and in the morning, I’d be headed back to Missouri where I wouldn’t see Luke again until March. I already missed him, and he wasn’t even out of my sight yet. I didn’t know how I was going to get through the next couple of months.
