Me: Ew, but I’m your sister.
Sam: I wouldn’t be looking at you, would I? But Nolan?
Me: No. He’s mine. Eyes off.
Sam: Okay, okay. I’ll stay away. But I think you need to invite me to some fancy premier party in exchange.
Me:
Sam: So, that means you’ll think about it?
Cassie: Ignore her. Enjoy sexy times with Nolan. I expect a full report later.
As I danced with Nolan and he held me close, I couldn’t stop smiling.
He chuckled. “The pictures are long over, you know. You don’t have to keep smiling.”
“I can’t help it. I’m happy.”
He kissed me softly. “Oh? What, may I ask, has you so happy?”
“You’re fishing, aren’t you?”
“Maybe.” He moved a hand down to quickly squeeze my butt before moving it back to my waist. “But I’m also so fucking happy right now, baby. And it’s because of you.”
I played with the hair at the nape of his neck. “I wonder if we’ll be this happy and smiley at your fancy charity event.”
He frowned. “Are you worried? Jenn and I are doing everything we can to keep Wendy from showing up.”
“I know. But I have a weird feeling, is all. Like, our future will be decided that day, or something.”
“Woah, that sounds ominous.”
“Well, you have to admit that Wendy has been super quiet and hasn’t been stirring up more trouble. Her fans still post about my ripped dress, but not her. And I would’ve expected it. Part of me wants to believe she’s finally given up.”
“Only part?”
I sighed. “Well, the other part of me says she’s playing the long game and I’m going to end up crying in a heap on the floor afterward.”
He growled and pulled me closer. “No fucking way. I can’t challenge her to a fight like I would with a guy, or simply call her a jealous cow—that will only garner her sympathy. My best bet is uncovering something to damage her brand. That will hurt her more than anything else because Wendy lives to be worshipped and be the center of attention.”
“But you haven’t thought of anything yet?”
He shook his head. “I’m still looking for proof. It’s frustrating as hell, but I’m not giving up. Until I have something, I’ll just have to do my best to keep her away from us.”
“That may not be possible. And if she does show up? Maybe if I provoke her, her bad behavior will make directors think twice about working with her.”
“Maybe. But I wouldn’t ask you to do that.”
I smiled at him. “Which is exactly why I’m offering.”
“Do your worst.”
I chuckled. “I’m not sure about that. But I won’t back down next time. With you at my side, I’ll feel invincible.”
“I’ll be there.” He kissed me quickly. “You’re so fucking amazing, baby. I sometimes can’t believe you’re mine.”
At being called his, I melted a little. “Ditto, Nolan. But enough about Wendy fucking Webster. Do you think we’ve put in enough of an appearance for tonight and could slip away?”
