No. I was in big, big trouble.

LUKE

My cell rang, waking me. I sat up, remembered where I was. Who I was with.

Aspen.

I looked around. The bedspread was on the floor, the sheets a mess, a reminder of what we’d done. Leaning over the edge of the bed… shit. Her dress was no longer on the floor. No shoes. The bathroom door was open.

Fuck. She was gone!

Orgasms and a soft, sated woman in my arms and I slept like a baby. Slept right through her sneaking out. I ran a hand over my face.

Glancing at the clock on the bedside table, it was after nine. How long ago had she left?

My phone rang again. Reaching out, I grabbed it off the bedside table. For a split second, I thought it might be Aspen, but we hadn’t shared numbers. No one had mine but my family. Mark. And Sam.

The call cleared. I swiped through my texts. As expected, there was one from Mark.

Well? Do I want to talk to her next?

That was all he wrote. He didn’t say more. I knew what he meant, and it made me pissed.

No. Not even the slightest possibility. She’s mine.

My fingers jabbed at the keys, not wanting Mark anywhere near Aspen.

My cell started ringing again.

“What?” I snarled when I saw my agent’s name on the screen.

“You haven’t answered my texts,” Sam replied.

I pulled my cell from my ear and stared at it. There were a bunch of messages from him, and I ignored them. “I was asleep,” I told him, rubbing a hand over my head.

“Well, I’ll tell you the good news then.”

Good news would be Aspen coming through the door, naked and carrying a mega-sized box of condoms. Then tugging her into the shower to wash every inch of her so I could get her filthy all over again. That would be good.

“What?”

“Why do you sound like a grumpy asshole?”

“Because you woke me up.” And Aspen wasn’t here to climb on my dick and ride me. My dick could pound nails with how hard I was, and it wasn’t morning wood. It was craving more of her perfect pussy. I gripped the base and gave it a pump. Fuck. After I got done with Sam, I was going to have to rub one out in the shower. Alone. I wasn’t thrilled with going back to my hand. Not when I’d found the perfect woman.

“They want you to test for the movie.”

The movie was Living Dangerously, an action-adventure that started filming soon. They were finalizing roles now, including the male lead that might go to me. It would be my breakout from TV and a chance to be something other than Shep Barnes, MD.

“Seriously?” This was a big deal. Something I’d hoped for for months. I couldn’t help but smile.

He sighed. “You’re the only person who doesn’t check social media. It’s all over the sites that you’re going to be the lead.”

“I don’t look at that shit because everything that’s said about me is a lie. I had to tell my mother to stop looking at the magazines at the grocery store checkout line after she saw I’d gotten married to a Polynesian dancer in Vegas and was mad I didn’t invite her to the wedding.”
