“I’m sure he will.”

“Should I start calling Beckettdaddyat the office?”

I sigh. “You wonder why I don’t tell you things. We’re just dating. Relax.”

I’m trying not to get too excited about us, though it’s hard not to. I’ve fallen so hard for him. I think he might be my Prince Charming.

“I’m doing a lot of things, but relaxing isn’t one of them. Mom, he’s so hot. Every woman in our office drools over him. Every woman in the damn country drools over him. Good for you. Does he make you happy?”

I think about everything he says and does. I can’t help but smile. “Yes, baby, he makes me very happy.”

“Well then, fantastic.” She turns uncharacteristically serious. “Mom, stay off the gossip sites. They’ll fuck with your head. It’s all made up bullshit. You know what’s real and what isn’t. Don’t forget that.”

“Okay. I better go find Beckett and tell him about the photos.”

“When are you coming home?”

“I’ll be home tomorrow.”

“Have fun.”

“I will. Love you.”

“Love you too.”

I’m about to get up when I decide to Google Beckett’s name. All the recent hits are now pictures of us this week. There are so many headlines.

Who is the Mystery Brunette Beauty That Has Beckett Windsor So Enamored?

The photo with the last one makes my heart race. It was when we were walking into the party in Rome. I’m smiling at the camera, but Beckett is looking down at me like he’s about to devour me, which he sort of did that night. I love this photo. I wonder if I can get a copy.

I flick over to my texts and notice that I have several from Reggie and Victoria. Clearly they’ve seen all the pictures too. I can’t believe how many people look at these gossip websites. I never go on them. Who cares?

I brush my teeth, throw on clothes, and head out in search of Beckett. It doesn’t take long before I hear him screaming. “You’re my fucking head of security. How did you let this happen to her? I want someone’s head on a platter. Sue everyone if you have to. Make them bleed!”

I peek into the room. Nico is cowering while Beckett lays into him. I interrupt, “Is everything okay? Beckett, calm down. Don’t yell at him.”

Beckett’s face immediately softens as he comes to me. He takes my face in his hands and gently kisses me before turning back to Nico. He grits, “Fix this.”

Nico nods and we exit the room, heading back to ours. Once we’re in there, he closes the door and pulls me into his arms. “I’m so sorry.”

“For what?”

He sighs. “There are photos of us all over the place.”

“I know. Jade called this morning and told me. What’s the big deal?”

“It’s a massive invasion of our privacy.Yourprivacy.”

“Jade said you can barely make me out in the photos on the boat.”

He holds my face. “Baby, someone took our pictures from above while we were making love. That’s not okay. I pay a lot of money for security so these things don’t happen.”
