Becca shook her head. “I don’t know. He … he thinks that I cost him his job, and I kind of did. So, he’s out for revenge.”
“What, by kissing you and taking a photo of himself doing it?”
Becca finally got it. “Oh, shit!”
“What?”
“He told me that I might as well screw him because, after this weekend, Jacob was going to think that I had. He’s going to send that photo to Jacob. I know he is!”
“But you can explain what happened, Becs. I’ll tell him as well. Everyone who saw him at the bar, and my brothers – we can all tell him.”
Becca swallowed. Her mind was racing. “I need to call him and explain.” She scrabbled in her purse with shaky hands. “Maybe I can talk to him before Jamie sends him that photo.”
“Calm down, Becs. Take a breath. He’ll believe you. And if he doesn’t, then he’s an asshole and he’s not worth your time anyway.”
“He’s not an asshole. I love him. He’s everything.”
“Aww. It’ll be fine. You’ll see. Come on, let’s ask Ricky if we can go in the back so you can call him from there – in the quiet.”

Jacob shook his head at himself as he plugged his phone in and set it on the nightstand. He usually left it downstairs overnight. He didn’t need work to be able to reach him when he was in bed – and he had even less desire to have his phone upstairs with him since Becca had moved in.
He was making an exception tonight because he’d sent her one last text a little while ago, asking her to let him know when she made it home safe. He hoped that she wouldn’t think it was too much. He didn’t want to come across as overbearing. He just needed to know that she was okay. And if he was honest, he wouldn’t mind talking to her again while she was in bed. He missed her. He couldn’t hold her, but he wanted to hear her voice.
He smiled when the phone beeped, and the screen lit up with a text. But his smile faded when he saw that it wasn’t from Becca. It was a number that he didn’t recognize.
Unknown: You can’t think that you’re enough for her.
His heart started to race. What the hell was this? Who was it? He tried to calm himself. Tried to rationalize that since he didn’t recognize the number, it was perhaps a wrong number.
He set the phone back down and tried to relax. Within a few moments, it beeped again.
Unknown: Not answering me? Because you know I’m right.
You weren’t enough for Selena and you’re not enough for Becca.
You think you’re the shit. Yeah, you took my job away. But I took your
women away.
Jacob just stared at the words on the screen. Jamie. The little shit. His heart was racing at the thought of him laying a finger on Becca, let alone … no, he could not let his mind go near anything else. He’d lose it if he did.
Unknown: You not answering me?
Jacob’s hands shook as he tapped out a reply.
Jacob: I don’t see the point. You’re full of shit.
Unknown: Wrong. I’m not lying. I can prove it to you.
You should have heard Becca moaning, Jamie, Jamie, when
I fucked her earlier.
Jacob got to his feet and started to pace. He could not let the lying little shit get to him.
Jacob: Where are you?
