Screw a gym membership. All I need is good sex from Rex.

Sex with him is the equivalent to one week of cardio.

“Working and then hanging out with me?” he corrects.

“Duh.” I groan at the sound of Bob Marley playing from the kitchen.

“Josh is up.” Rex chuckles.

“At least we’ll get fed well.”

Reggae means Josh is cooking one of his infamous breakfasts. Sure, loud music first thing in the morning is annoying, but he makes up for it with his kitchen skills. My stomach grumbles, just thinking about it.

“We need it after last night.”

“Do you think he heard us?” A blush runs over my skin.

“I’m positive all of Blue Beech heard us. You’ll be getting calls about your bad behavior later.” He tickles my side, causing me to burst out in laughter. “You made me work up an appetite this morning. Let’s hope Josh is making pancakes.”

After enduringan hour of dating questions from Josh and Angelica—their smug expressions confirming they most definitely heard us last night—we trek back to Rex’s bedroom.

Rex hops in the shower, and I fall onto his bed, resting my back against his headboard. I capture my phone from the nightstand.

As badly as I wanted to join him, my legs feel like noodles.

My vagina needs a break.

My stomach drops when I pull up my notifications.

James: We need to talk.

I need to talk to him like I need to grow antlers out of my head.

The text was sent at one this morning, and I debate whether to answer.

He could’ve been in one of his moods.

Stupidly, I reply.

Me: No, we don’t. Kick rocks.

Seconds later, my phone rings.

James calling.

My heart rages against my chest. He normally doesn’t call. He prefers to type out his threats, so I don’t miss them.

I decline the call.

It rings again.

Decline.

I cast a glance at the bathroom when it rings again, hearing the shower running, and my hands are shaking when I answer.

“What?” I hiss into the speaker. “Leave me alone!”
