I pause with my drink halfway to my lips at Amelia’s question. I know from just the few conversations we’ve had about him that Len isn’t Beck’s or Amelia’s favorite person. It’s my own fault for showing them my frustration with the man. He’s mercurial and greedy and honestly, not a nice man, but he has had my back in this industry and I owe him a lot. Without him, I’d be a bit part actor working a bar to make my rent. So although he’s a pain in my ass, I defend him. “He’s put the feelers out but there’s nothing much around.”

Amelia nods. “Did you show him the book Ryker sent you?”

“I did but he thinks it would be a tough sell to a studio.”

Beck scratches his cheek. “Really? I thought it would be amazing on the big screen.”

“Well, on this you aren’t the expert, are you?” I snap as I shove my chair back and stand from the table. I stride from the room, heading for the bathroom just to give myself a minute.

I slam the door and it does nothing to ease my anger. Looking at myself in the mirror, I see a man trying to be part of two worlds and it’s splitting me in two. I see the way it hurts Beck to be a secret part of my life and it cuts me up inside. I want nothing more than to walk down the street and tell the world that I’m the lucky son of a bitch that gets to be with both of these amazing people but I can’t and it’s because of the contract Len pressured me to sign. I can’t blame him, I’m as much to blame, but I feel resentful now.

The door opens slowly and Amelia pokes her head in. “Hey, you okay?”

I lift my arm for her and she walks into my chest, her arms going around me and holding on tight. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

I shake my head, her hair catching on the scruff of my chin. “No, it’s not. I shouldn’t have snapped at either of you. I know you’re only trying to help.”

Amelia lifts her head. “We care about you. We just want to see you happy and fulfilled.”

“You make me happy. You and Beck are the best things in my life.”

Her eyes go soft as she cocks her head. “Same. I feel like since we met, everything I ever wanted is within my grasp.”

I lock my arms at the base of her spine. “Does it scare you?”

Her head dips as she nods. “A little.”

“Is Beck mad?”

Amelia shakes her head. “No, not at all.”

“Did he leave?”

“He went to check on a patient.”

“Fuck.”

“Xander, he went to check on a patient but he’s coming back here tonight.”

“I drove him away.”

Amelia grips my jaw. “Stop. You did no such thing. Beck is just giving you space. He knows two alpha males in a small place is a recipe for disaster when one is angry so he did the right thing.”

“I guess. Maybe I should text him.”

Amelia escapes my arms and takes a step back, lifting her tank over her head and shedding her bra. Fuck, her tits are perfect, round and high with tight, erect nipples that I love to roll on my tongue.

“That’s up to you, but I’m taking a shower and it would make me sad if I had to get myself off after Beck teased me.”

I’m ripping my clothes off before she can finish her sentence. I lift her in my arms and her legs come around my waist as she yelps.

“Only person getting you off is me, wildcat.”

“Better get to it, then.”

I kiss a line down her body as the water rains down on us. Her hands grip my shoulders as I arch her back under the spray and suck a nipple into my mouth. She moans as I bend my knees and rock my hard cock against her clit. I’m already on edge from watching Beck eat her out earlier, so it doesn’t take long before we’re both panting.
