“We’ll all be watching out for him, Nat. You’re not on your own.” I knew that, but I was still worried.

Liv came over, slumping down on the sofa a few minutes later. “Ugh! That awful woman Maddison Lily is here! What did Shane ever see in her?” Fucking great! What was she doing here? “Shane is trying to steer her away from Alex, but she’s refusing to leave.”

“Oh, fuck this shit!” I seethed. I was fucking done with this bitch! Especially after the fake photos trying to make out Alex had cheated on me with her! I’d drag her out by her fake hair extensions! Diego and Liv were calling out from behind me, but I’d already lost them as I darted into the crowd to find the bitch.

I found her in the queue, waiting to talk to Alex. The fake smile on her face dropped when she noticed me.

“Why would you need to queue up to get a book signed, Maddison?” I glared. “What? Are you upset that you’re not in it?”

“I paid for an invite. As much as it pains you, I’m allowed to be here. Shane can not throw me out!”

“Oh, he can and will if I ask him to. I honestly don’t think Alex wants to see you, anyway!”

“I don’t understand how a mousy brunette like you won him! You must keep him drugged up or something. There’s no other reason that a fine man like that would stick around with someone like you!”

Shane was by my side a few seconds later. “Maddison, I’ve already told you to leave! Don’t make me escort you out!”

“I’m not leaving until I’ve gotten my book signed!” Crossing her arms, she looked away from us. “Touch me and I’ll scream!”

“Do you know how pathetic you look?” I asked her. “You’re dressed like a fucking hooker! Maddison, he’s not interested!” That made her break from the queue. She tried to poke at my chest, but Shane stood in the way, holding her back.

“You fucking bitch! How dare you call me a hooker! You think you’re better than me because he put a ring on it? You’re not. I can keep selling fake stories about Alex and me, and make your life hell. Everyone knows I should be with him instead of a stuck up, mousy bitch like you! You don’t fucking deserve him. You are nothing! Fucking nothing!” It shouldn't have, but the pain from her words sliced through me. It was hard to feel anything but inferior next to a sex god like Alex Harbour. It felt even worse to have someone confirm that I wasn’t good enough for him.

I was about to respond when Alex was suddenly at my side. The commotion must have drawn his attention down the line.

“Maddison, how fucking dare you speak to my wife like that!” Alex’s tone was furious. Diego and Liv had finally found me and were watching everything that was unfolding.

“She doesn’t deserve you, Alex! Everyone agrees, but they’re too scared to say anything! I came to set you free, baby. Whatever publicity stunt this is…it’s over. I’ve got you! We can leave right now if you want.”

“You are fucking delusional!” Alex put his finger and thumb on the bridge of his nose. “I’m not interested, Maddison! I never was! You were another faceless woman I fucked before this amazing, pure, beautiful woman fell in love with me! Get the fuck out of here! I’m so fucking done with your shit!” There he goes again, knocking me breathless.

“I’m not going until I get my book signed! I paid for a ticket!” Maddison seethed, squaring her shoulders at Alex.

Looking at Shane, Alex asked if he had a pen. Shane always had that and a small notebook on him. Snatching the book from Maddison, Alex wrote inside before handing it back. “Read that and fuck off!” he practically roared. Maddison looked inside the book, her eyes watering at whatever was written, and ran off into the crowd sobbing.

“What the hell did you write in that book?” Diego gasped.

“You don’t want to know.” Alex sighed, moving to stand in front of me. “Are you okay?” All I could do was nod before he softly kissed my lips. “Another few hours and we’ll get out of here, okay?”

“Okay,” I breathed, closing my eyes while breathing him in. “Will you tell me what you wrote in her book?”

“Yes,” Alex smirked. “When we’re alone later.” He winked, smacking my ass before walking back to his table. Damn him!

“Fuck, I’m glad that day is over!” Alex stretched, sliding into the bed beside me. We’d all gone out for a meal once the signing wrapped up, celebrating Milly and the city she’d lived in for the last three years. “I didn’t think Diego was going to let us go back to the hotel at one point. I love Remi and how he can handle him.”

“They’re a cute couple.” I smiled, watching as Alex’s eyes turned hungry when he saw the sexy red babydoll lingerie that I was wearing. “No! None of that until you tell me what you wrote in Maddison’s book!”

“You expect me to concentrate on words when you’re wearing that?” His lips turned into a wicked smirk. “Clearly you wore this because you wanted me to fuck you.”

“I don’t know what you mean. Hotel rooms are warm! I just wanted to be comfortable.” I giggled, slapping his hand away as it headed to grab my legs. “Tell me!” Laughing as he climbed on top of me and pressed his erection against my already heated centre, I slapped his back.

“This is more fun,” he purred, pinning me to the mattress by grabbing my wrists and holding them on either side of my head. Fuck, when he took control like this, it made me instantly wet! “I’m going to worship you tonight, Straight Lace. Take a fucking long time to make you cum. I need to get lost in you, okay?” All I could do was nod as his lips crashed against mine.

“I wrote in her book that Maddison had an ugly soul and was shit in bed,” Alex muttered as I lay on his chest a few hours later. “I don’t think she’ll be causing any more trouble.”

“Wow! I’d feel sorry for the woman if I didn’t hate her so much!” I snorted, closing my eyes as Alex drew patterns on my back with his fingertips. “You did so well today. I’m proud of you. How you handled that Milly question was amazing.”

“I almost got a boner watching you handle that reporter afterwards.”
