Drake was happy to comply and climbed in beside her, pulling her close. “Tell me you’re mine, Alessandra.”
“I’m yours, Drake. All yours.”
He was quiet a moment before saying, “Happy monthiversary. I never imagined I’d feel this way before. I want you to know how much this means to me.”
Drake stroked her hair, and Alessandra didn’t even know when she fell asleep.

A few days later, Alessandra met with Noah for lunch.
“I’m still tingling from the other night. You were so hot!” he said.
“Shhh! Not in public,” Alessandra chastised him.
Her face flamed as she recounted Drake’s dirty words and ungentlemanly treatment. She couldn’t deny how sex between them grew hotter. Parts of her body were still deliciously sore.
Drake had not pressured her for anything since, but he had continued to look after her. He massaged her body and drew her baths, adding salts and oils. There was no penetration, but he’d brought her to climax several times with his tongue. When she’d attempted to return the favor, he had refused, saying it was for her benefit, and that taking care of her needs was enough.
“Honey, you have nothing to be shy about. Don’t forget, I saw and heard every bit of you. We can still be friends.”
She playfully pushed him. “You’re the worst!”
“And you fucking love me!” He waggled his brows.
She squealed as Noah returned her shove with a playful hip bump and pulled her into a shoulder hug. Their laughter garnered disapproving looks from those nearby.
“Well, well, well….”
Just when Alessandra was having a good day, a poshly-dressed woman whose voice dripped with venom glared at them. Alessandra almost didn’t recognize her. But she could never forget Drake’s ex-fiancée.
“Hello, Riley,” Noah greeted her coolly.
“Hello, Noah, dear.” She air-kissed him in greeting before turning to Alessandra. “Hello, tramp.”
Alessandra glowered. “You don’t get to talk to me like that. I don’t know who you think you are. This bitter-ex routine is just pathetic.” Alessandra gestured, indicating Riley’s face.
Anger flashed in Riley’s eyes before turning to mock concern. “Oh, dear. You don’t know, do you? I shouldn’t be surprised that Drake kept it to himself. He’s always been one to hide secrets when it suits him.”
Alessandra kept her mouth shut, refusing to rise again to Riley’s bait. Riley studied her nails, adopting an air of nonchalance before continuing. “Now, why do you think that is?”
“Just spit it out, Riley. What don’t I know?”
Riley’s eyes narrowed on the healing marks Drake left on her neck. “You’re just a plaything, sweetheart. Drake will tire of you soon. Girls are always more attractive in the bedroom. But a man like him needs a real woman who can carry herself in public.”
“That’s enough, Riley. Leave her alone,” Noah warned.
“I didn’t even know you’d be here, Noah. It was a coincidence. I actually just came from seeing Drake at the office.”
A twisted smirk appeared on her face, making Alessandra’s stomach drop. She flexed her perfectly-manicured fingers, insinuating their use.
“Let’s just say we had a long reconciliation. He still says I’m the best he’s ever had.” She laughed, haughtily.
“You’re lying,” Alessandra snapped.
“Now that Drake knows the truth, we’re getting back together.” Riley smiled viciously.
“The truth about what?”
