Lilah
Play with?
Lexie
He’s trying not to say I spent last night sitting on his face after I took the book out of his hands.
Jamie
Fuck, Lex. Don’t put that thought in my head.
Kaleigh
Well damn, Lexie. You go, girl. Good for you.
Lexie
What can I say? I read chapter ten and liked it.
Ryker
Shit. I’ve got a new respect for chapter ten.
Lexie
As you should.
ROME
Success isn’t loud. It’s found in peace. That’s the real flex.

Maddox
You’re ignoring my calls, and you got a reservation at my restaurant. WTF is going on with you?
Rome
Sorry, brother. Not ignoring you. Just training for a fight, and you’re about four time zones away in another country.
Maddox
It’s called a phone, asshole. Answer it and tell me why I had to hear about you and Dillan Ryan from Lilah instead of you.
Rome
We weren’t saying anything to anyone until we did, and you’ve been a little busy.
Maddox
My wife had a baby, dumbass. I could have answered a call from my brother, even if you can’t.
Rome
Did you cancel my reservation?
