LYNN'S POV As we left Drake's office, I couldn't stop smiling. I hadn't smiled this much in what felt like weeks. Every time I turned around there was someone or something else going wrong. I could see it all over Drake's face how stressed out he was, and I had no idea how to fix it.Drake went to Lane as I made my way back to untangling the wires, greeted by Luis's smirk. I glanced around and saw that Brooke was nowhere to be seen. I can only imagine what she thought when she walked in on us, and I wasn't sorry one bit. I was glad that she didn't see me naked, but she needed to see what we were doing. Drake was mine and I'd fight for him until I gave my last breath."Did you have a nice break?" Luis asked with his voice dripping in sarcasm.My cheeks blushed as I let out a small giggle. "You heard that?""Honey, we all heard that."I normally would have been embarrassed, but I held my head high and laughed it off. There really wasn't anything to be embarrassed about anyway. We were
She laughed. "Bitch? You've learned to have a backbone I see. Monique said you were weak but I didn't believe her. Drake would never be with a weak woman. I can see why he likes you, but he doesn't love you, bitch. You're delusional if you think that's true."My hands shook at my side and I couldn't take it anymore. I set my camera bag gently on the ground before I pinned her with my glare."You're pissing off the wrong person. I hope you can get your job back at the strip club because your time here is finished."She snorted at me. "Right. As if Drake would ever fire me. We have history, honey. A history you'll never understand. I fulfilled his hunger in ways no woman ever could."Now she was just making me angrier. She had some nerve saying this shit to me."Don't believe me? Go inside and see what happens. You're fired, Brooke, and all I had to do was bat my eyes at my boyfriend." An evil smirk tugged on my lips, but a look of fury filled her gaze. I may have lied about batting my
DRAKE'S POV After we all finished up with a successful day at the studio, we headed back to my place for a barbecue. I think we all needed a moment to destress and get back on our feet. The highlight of my day, though, was when I walked out to shut my car alarm off only to find Lynn on top of Brooke, beating the hell out of her. I really didn't want to stop it, but I had to. Luis was right, she was a little bad ass. My little bad ass.As I rotated the burgers on the grill, I stole a glance at lynn and luis. They were playing bags and laughing like Hyenas. I hadn't seen lynn that carefree in what felt like forever. I wanted every single day to be like this, and I knew it could be once we figured everything out.Lane slapped me on the back as he approached, extending a fresh beer to me. It was awesome having him here, but I needed to lay some ground rules down. He was so carefree and a bit reckless. If he wanted to stay by my side, he needed to know where I stood."Thanks, man." I held
LYNN'S POV My hands nervously shook as Drake stepped back and pointed the camera at me. I wasn't used to being on this side of the camera, but excitement coursed through me knowing it was for him.I slowly unbuttoned my blouse, revealing my bare skin beneath one inch at a time. Drake took a photo and I flinched, holding steady. This was so new for me. I didn't know how to do this. Drake was perfect with his teasing and sexy poses. How was I supposed to compete with that?"Let your blouse hang open and then turn toward me with your fingertip between your teeth," Drake instructed.My fingers got back to work on my blouse, but they still shook like a leaf. Once all the buttons were undone, I let my blouse hang open to reveal my lace bra beneath before I bit my finger. I tried to give the sexiest expression I could as Drake took several photos, circling me the way I had done to him."Now what?" I whispered. He really did need to talk me through this."Take your blouse off, push your skir
DRAKE'S POV "Oh, I've got something alright," Lane replied. "From what I gathered from my contact, Diego and the president are working together to sue you. I'm not sure for what yet, but they're putting together a legal case against you. Oh, and get this... Diego Hudson is their new lead male performer."Anger coursed through me as I gripped the phone. They were going to sue me?! They were going to try and take me down? And now Diego was their new lead performer? What in the fuck is going on?!"Can you get any more information?" I asked through gritted teeth."I tried, he honestly didn't know anything else.They've been keeping things really hush-hush around there, I guess.""Fuck," I cursed beneath my breath. "I think I know who I can call. Thanks for checking on this for me, Lane. I'll see you tomorrow back at the studio."We hung up before I glanced toward the bathroom. The shower was still running and I knew lynn was waiting for me, but I had to figure this out. I wouldn't be abl
LYNN'S POV "Would you like a side of fresh fruit with that?" Our waitress asked as she wrote down my pancake order."No thanks," I replied with a smile.She sauntered away as I turned my gaze back to Drake. We had decided to take a detour for breakfast before we met everyone at the studio. He looked tired though. I knew he didn't get much sleep last night because he kept me up too. His tossing and turning finally ended around 5 a.m. when he decided to get out of bed."It's all going to be okay, Drake."I reached over and took his hand in mine before his tired gaze looked up."Thanks, babe, but I'm not sure it will be this time." He pulled his hand from mine as he leaned back in the booth and rubbed a hand over his face.I hated that he was so distraught over this. We obviously couldn't control what was happening and I think the unknown was about to drive him mad. I wished there was more I could do for him, but at the moment, we hadn't found a lawyer yet. Until then, we were sitting d
DRAKE'S POV I paced back and forth in my cell with thoughts of punching Noah's face in. His hands were on lynn as fear swam through her gaze. It wasn't something I'd forget anytime soon and a jail cell wouldn't stop me from pounding his stupid face in again. But the longer I paced here with no answers, the longer I wondered if lynn was okay.If I knew my girl as much as I thought I did, she'd be running around trying to figure out how to get me out. The pricks still hadn't given me my one phone call yet and I had a feeling they were dragging their feet. I hadn't been in jail since I was seventeen years old, what could make them hold me this long without answers?A guard walked by and I rushed to the bars. "Sir! Do I get my phone call yet?"He snickered at me. "Not yet, pal. The judge is working on your extradition as we speak. No phone calls until she does that."Alarm bells went off in my head. Extradition?! No, no, no, this was unacceptable."Extradition for what? Where?"He blew o
LYNN'S POV "Have you heard back from that Piper guy yet?" Lane asked as he sat beside me at the kitchen island. He had insisted on coming home with me, and said it wasn't safe right now.Luis was in the living room watching Project Runway, yelling at the TV. I couldn't think straight and tried to call anyone I could that would be able to help. Aunt Rose didn't answer, and neither did Micky. That Piper guy had answered earlier and said he was on it, but I haven't heard a word since. I was going stir crazy not hearing a thing."No, not yet," I finally replied. "What do you have over there?" I peered at the laptop in front of him. He was looking up the extradition process and how to possibly stop it when he was only a minor during his first charges."Not much either. It's all a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo but I found an attorney who can help.""Good, call him."I slipped off my bar stool and went for the fridge. I knew I probably shouldn't be drinking right now but I couldn't help it. My
