"Alright, big guy, let's get you upstairs, huh?"It was crazy how my adrenaline instantly sobered me up but now I was feeling tipsy all over again. The buzz made me grin and I couldn't stop it even if I tried. I placed my hands on her ass and pulled her tight against my groin so she could feel my chubby. Her cheeks flushed as she peered up at me."How are you horny right now?" She whispered. "You're drunk and you just got into a fight with your family."I groaned. "Drunk? Absolutely. Don't call them my family. I'll deal with them tomorrow, but right now, I want you naked and filled with my cock. I've missed you so damn much and can't think about anything but you right now."Her soft giggles made my dick harder. If I were in my right mind, I'd be too stressed out to even think about sex, but thankfully all the booze running through me kept me relaxed. Ever since our little phone sex adventure, all I could think about was getting lynn naked beneath me.I grabbed the back of her thighs a
LYNN'S POV As I sat out by the pool the following morning, I sipped on my piping hot coffee and glanced around at the flowers I had planted a few days ago. The house was quiet and the birds chirped all around me. It was extremely peaceful, but I knew it wouldn't last forever. When Drake woke up, I knew he'd have a million things going on in that head of his and I'd have to explain to him about Dakota. I might have promised her that I wouldn't say anything, but now that his brother and mother were here, it was probably best to tell him everything. I had to."Ugh, remind me to never go away with Drake for the weekend ever again." Luis groaned as he slumped down on the lounger next to me and covered his eyes. "He knows far too many people who like to party."I giggled. "But I thought you would be able to keep up? You're the biggest partner I know, luis."He snorted as he glanced at me. "I enjoy going to the club, drinking a few Appletinis, and praying a guy comes home with me. I don't d
DRAKE'S POV The rage that pumped through me made my hands shake. If Dakota wasn't my little sister, I would have kicked her out ages ago but she needed me now more than ever."I just want to know why, Dakota. Why did you go back to that prick? Why did you let him shoot you up again? You're fucking pregnant for fuck's sake."She rolled her eyes at me and crossed her arms over her chest. "You wouldn't understand, Drake, you never do. You're always so damn perfect and every choice you make is the right one. I can't help it that I'm not."I snorted. "Perfect? You think I'm perfect? You should know better than anyone that I'm not. I have to make a decision every single fucking day not to be like dad; not to be like any of them! I make mistakes more often than I'd like to admit, but at least I have my reasons as to why I do them. What's yours?""I love him. Can't that be enough? You've never been in love so you have no room to tell me the struggles of it.""Never? I'm in love right now!"S
"Don't you understand that I meant to do that on purpose. You're not family to me anymore, or have you forgotten?"He snorted. "See Mom? I told you he'd think he was better than us. He stands there with his nose up in the air in his big fancy house." Then Diego pinned me with his own glare. "Have you forgotten that you'd have none of this without me? Or are you taking all the credit again?"I ground my teeth, knowing exactly what he meant. "I don't owe you shit, Diego.""No? I'll bet sweet little miss Brooke Saddle would disagree with me. I think I might go see her today and catch up on lost time." His grin widened like an evil being before he looked over at me again. "Have you told lynn about her yet? How you stole her from me? The only co-star you ever had a relationship with. You were in love with her, no?"My chest rose and fell rapidly as my grip on the edge of the counter tightened. "You keep your fucking mouth shut, Diego. You have no idea what you're even talking about. And I
LYNN'S POV "I just don't understand why he'd do something like this when he knows how I feel about all of this." I chewed on the inside of my cheek as my leg bounced uncontrollably. My nerves were all over the place and I had the urge to run, and run far. This isn't what I signed up for when I decided to be with Drake; agreed to move in with him!Luis sighed. "It's really not what you think, lynn. The kiss with Monique was just the paparazzi having good timing. She threw herself onto him when he went to fire her. He told me the second he saw me after it happened that he shoved her off and fired her right away. If there was anything actually going on between them, do you think he would have told me? I'm your best friend, lynn, I'd be the last person he'd tell about that, don't you think?"I let out a breathy laugh as I shook my head. "Maybe that's what he told you because that's what he wanted you and me to believe when these photos came out.""That's not it and you know it. I know yo
"I need to come clean to you about some things so you know the whole story.""I'm listening," I whispered as I glared into the side of his head, studying him intently.He sighed. "Brooke Saddle was the very first co-star I had ever been with. It was the scene that broke me into the industry. I had a huge crush on her. Christ, I was eighteen years old and had never done something like that before. Having sex with someone you've just met was exhilarating and I didn't know how to block out my feelings back then."Hearing him confess that he had been with Brooke and had grown feelings for her made my heart thunder in my chest. He told me that he had never been with a co-star. Ever. Yet, he was telling me something so different now. I honestly didn't know what to do with this information. It hurt."I lied to you," he admitted, confirming my internal thoughts. "I told you that I had never been with a co-star before, but to be honest, I had completely forgotten about Brooke because at the e
DRAKE'S POV Getting everything out in the open felt liberating and I wanted to keep going. I wanted lynn to completely trust me when I was all done. There would be nothing to hide from her after this."You should know the whole truth about my family before we tackle this. I want you to know everything," I told her.She slightly nodded as her arms tightened around my neck. "I'm all ears, Drake."This was going to be hard to get out, but it needed to be done. Figuring out where to start was the hard part, though."I grew up in a house that lacked any sort of love or respect. My father was an abusive alcoholic and my mom was so doped up on pills all the time that she was numb-""You left at fifteen years old because he beat you, right?" She asked, cutting me off.I nodded. "I forgot that you know that part. It was rough, lynn. I grew up hating myself and I never thought I'd amount to anything. So I left, right?" She nodded before I continued. "I thought leaving would keep them out of my
LYNN'S POV After I finished pacing, I slumped down on the couch beside Pierre and rested my head on his shoulder. Drake had been in his office for over an hour and all I wanted to do was see if he was okay but I also didn't want to get yelled at."Do you think he's okay?" I asked Lucas."Oh, honey, that boy is just fine. We all need those alone moments to get our head on straight. He'll be back to normal before you even know it."But I noticed the way his tone was flat. He didn't believe his words, but simply told me them for comfort. I'd much rather have the truth than some bullshit sugar coating."I can't believe Dakota would do that to Drake. She might have been afraid to tell him about Lex, but she adored him." I honestly didn't understand her motives. From what Drake had told me about his childhood, how could anyone trust them?Luis wrapped an arm around me. "People are crazy, lynn. We don't always know who people truly are.Dakota has her reasons."I was about to reply when the
