“Yes. I’d never seen her so angry. Her face was so red that I was sure she would drop dead of a heart attack right there in the church. Grant made an announcement and told all the guests that this was just a misunderstanding and that he’d get it sorted out. I’ll be honest with you, Jill, I don’t think you’ll ever be able to come back here.”
“I don’t ever plan on it. You know that, and I know that. Listen. I’m exhausted, and I want to go to sleep. I’ll call you tomorrow.”
“Okay, baby girl. Sweet dreams. I’m proud of you, and I love you.”
“I love you too, Kellan, and thank you for everything you’ve done for me.”
After ending the call, I unzipped my suitcase and pulled out my nightgown. Once I changed, I pulled back the covers, climbed into the luxurious king-sized bed, and pulled the sheets up over me, holding the edges tightly. A million different emotions were going through my head, and I just needed to turn my brain off. Easier said than done as I tossed and turned all night.

Drew
She’s very pretty,” Jess spoke as the elevator doors shut.
“I didn’t notice,” I lied.
“Oh, come on, Drew. Who the hell wouldn’t notice a girl like her?”
Jess was raring to start a fight. I could tell, and I was in no mood. I was tired and didn’t plan to be up all night arguing with her.
“Jess, I’m warning you. We aren’t going to go through this again. For fuck’s sake,” I spoke as I opened the door to the Imperial Suite. “I couldn’t help that her seat was next to mine.”
“Did you talk to her?” she asked as she headed towards the bathroom.
“Of course, I did. We were on a six-hour flight.” I didn’t dare tell her that we also sat next to each other on the plane from Seattle.
“Did she come here alone?” she asked as she stood before the mirror and took off her makeup.
“Yes. She was supposed to get married today but couldn’t go through with it.”
“Wow. It seems like you got her life story.”
Slowly closing my eyes, I took in a deep breath.
“Not really.”
“Why would she tell you that? A total stranger? Who does that shit?”
“Apparently, a woman who needed to talk to someone.”
“Did she hit on you?” she asked as she turned the light off and climbed into bed.
“No. She didn’t hit on me, and you’re being ridiculous right now. Listen, you need to stop being so jealous of every woman who looks my way. Have I ever given you a reason to mistrust me?”
“No.”
“Exactly.” I reached down and kissed her lips. “Now get some sleep. I’m exhausted and had a really long day. I didn’t plan to get in this late.”
“But I’ve been looking forward to having sex with you all day.” Her hand reached down and rubbed my cock.
“Not tonight, Jess. I’m way too tired.”
“What a great start to this vacation.” She huffed.
“Can you please, for once in your life, think about somebody besides yourself?”
She turned the other way, and I didn’t care. I sighed, placing my hands behind my head and staring at the ceiling. The only woman on my mind at the moment was Jillian.
