Accidentally In Love With You CHAPTER 80
A hush fell over the crowd as Peyton stood and looked at Finn. She couldn’t believe this was actually happening. She was willingly putting herself in the spotlight for this man even after her recent brush with fame had been so disastrous. People were looking at them, smartphones raised capturing every single moment. She should be running in the opposite direction, but she wasn’t. She was here, ready to face him. Ready to accept what he was offering, regardless of the people standing around and watching. On the cab ride over she had pulled up the blog he had written and read every single word. He had laid himself bare before her and she recognised the man she had fallen in love with in his words. Then she rewatched the video of him appealing to her to meet him in Federation Square. Her heart yearned to be with him. It felt like a physical pull inside her and she had barely restrained herself from urging the cab driver to go faster. But it hadn’t been the words he wrote in the

He kissed her then and everything else just faded away. It didn’t matter that several hundred people were filming the very private moment on their smartphones. It didn’t matter that it would be all over social media within minutes. It didn’t matter that there was a near-deafening roar of the crowd cheering for them. She didn’t even care about the probable media fallout and being stalked by the paparazzi again. None of it mattered because Finn was holding her in his arms and kissing her and her world finally felt like it had been righted and was now spinning on its correct axis.Finn lifted his head to hear the cheers and applause of the gathered crowd. He had completely forgotten that they had an audience and he held Peyton just a little bit closer to try and protect her from the scrutiny of the hundreds of people who had gathered. Maybe doing this in such a public way hadn’t been the smartest idea, especially when all he wanted to do right now was bury himself inside Peyton and

“I booked us a room at The Mayfield,” he replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. It was really just an excuse to touch her. She smiled. “Confident much?” He grinned but shook his head. “Not at all,” he said. “If you had turned me down flat, I intended to lock myself away and drink myself into oblivion. On the slim chance that you would actually give me another chance, I had some food and drinks ordered so we could celebrate with our friends before I whisked you away to have my way with you.” “You mean let me have my way with you.” “Yes. That. Definitely that,” he said and then kissed her quickly. “Peyton,” he said when he lifted his head, his tone serious. “You do know that I meant every word.” She searched his eyes for a moment before she nodded. “I can feel them,” she said, tapping her chest. “Here. I can feel them here. I could feel the truth of them as you spoke. I’m still mad that you used me for your blog series, but I know you had good intenti

He groaned with satisfaction as she tangled her fingers in his hair to hold him in place. He was on his knees in front of her. He had stripped away her blouse and bra and had slipped off her shoes and skirt. She stood there in just her panties and he could hardly believe that this incredible woman wanted him as much as he wanted her. He let her nipple slip from his lips with a soft pop and then moved to lavish some attention on the other one. His arms were around her waist, his hands splayed against her lower back. Her soft, rounded bottom was cradled in his elbows and he couldn’t think of a better position for him to show his appreciation for her wonderful body. “Finn,” she breathed, her voice raspy and needy as he bit down just slightly on the hard bud in his mouth. He could spend all night just worshiping her, but he needed to be closer to her. He was still dressed and his clothes chafed at him. He needed to feel her skin against his. He pulled away from her and

“Okay, I’ll admit that I was wrong,” Peyton said as she looked at Finn who sat beside her, staring at her like she hung the moon. “You can fall in love in a month.” Liam rolled his eyes and turned his back on the television screen. Finn and Peyton had gone back to Wake Up, Australia in the hopes of calming the media storm that had blown up around them after Finn’s grand and very public declaration of his feelings for her. Since that night, the press had been camped out on both Finn’s and Peyton’s doorsteps - which was a very bad thing for Liam. Love was the last thing on his mind. He was happy for Finn, but Liam had other more pressing matters on his mind. Namely, the super-secret project that he had been working on and the added pressure of the press’s attention was not at all what he needed if he wanted to continue going undetected at his current place of employment. And if he wanted to find out the truth, then he needed desperately to stay under the radar. Going unde

Mia flopped down on Peyton’s couch…well, it was her couch now, she supposed. Peyton had moved out and moved in with Finn and they were happily shacked up together in a huge apartment in a converted wool store, the same wool store where the other guys from The Playbook had apartments. Mia had jumped at the chance to move out of the tiny room she’d rented from a little old lady who’d disapproved of nearly everything Mia did. It hadn’t mattered that the room was above the garage, or that Mia was twenty-four and an adult, Mrs. Reynolds felt it was her prerogative to snoop in Mia’s private quarters as often as she could. That resulted in Mia’s favorite sexy lingerie mysteriously going missing only later to be found in the garbage can. She would have moved out sooner except she couldn’t afford to, not with her uni fees and the paltry part-time job she had at Forever Young. But all that had changed. Now she was almost a university graduate with just one more subject to complete to prove

Mia wiped away the tears that had snuck out of her eyes from the force of the uppercut she gave herself and looked down at the blood on her hand. Her nose was bleeding. Fabulous. That was just perfect. More annoyed now than embarrassed, Mia got to her feet. She turned around and got back in the lift. She rode it in silence back to her apartment and went straight to the bathroom where she washed her face, removed the mascara-soaked tears from her cheeks, and gave herself a critical look in the mirror. She was going to have a black eye tomorrow. Of course, she was. Shit like this always happened to her. Mumbling about the unfairness of her life, Mia stripped out of her blood-spotted t-shirt and pulled on a well-worn Kensington Cougars AFL supporters t-shirt. She eyed her trackie dacks but turned from temptation. She might feel a little miserable now after her embarrassing spill, but she wouldn’t give in to the seductive call of comfortable fleece and a stretchy waistband. She

“What the fuck, Mia?” Ant said, followed by an oof sound as their mother backhanded him in the gut. “What was that for Ma?” he asked looking at Maria. “Language,” she replied. “It might be fine for you to speak like that on the job site but I will not have that language used under my roof.” Ant rolled his eyes. “What’s the problem?” Luca asked, squeezing into the kitchen beside Ant. “Mia’s got a job at a men’s magazine,” Ant said, his eyebrows pulling down in a frown. Luca looked at her critically. “I don’t think she has the rack for that,” he said. Mia shot him the finger and stuck her tongue out. “Is this true, Mia?” Frank asked, frowning as he lowered his newspaper. “It’s not that kind of men’s magazine,” she said. “I already told you all about it last week. Doesn’t anyone listen to me?” “What’s Minnie Mouse squeaking about now?” Frankie asked pushing past his brothers. Ant and Luca were not ones to let a chance for a bit of argie-bargie go unanswered. They pushed

Accidentally In Love With You EPILOGUE
6 months later“Are you ready for this?” Anthony asked as they stood outside the courtroom. Talia nodded and gripped Parker’s hand. The judge had called them back in for the verdict on Mark’s trial and she couldn’t deny she was nervous. The weeks spent preparing for the trial and then sitting through the witness statements and being cross-examined by an aggressive defense attorney who made her out to be some sort of diva and ungrateful bitch who was somehow ripping off the father who had done everything for her had taken its toll. And the media beat-up was just as bad. However, not all the media had been on her father’s side. Talia had discovered she had far more supporters than she’d thought. Her fans—the true fans—had gathered in force to support her and she loved them for it. Not enough for her to consider going back into acting, but enough that going through the trial had been bearable. But if not for the constant and unwavering support of Parker, Talia didn’t think she woul

Parker rolled his eyes as he took her hand and stood. “Seal the deal?” “Isn’t that what you said earlier?” He shook his head, his grin still in place. “No, I said celebrate.” “Okay, good. Let’s do that then.” Parker grabbed her and lifted her up, making Talia squeal. He kissed her and she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his shoulders. Stumbling, he carried her to the bedroom and tossed her on the bed with a flourish, making her squeal again. “I feel like we need champagne and strawberries or something,” Parker said, standing with his hands on his hips as he looked around the room. “You mean like pouring champagne in my belly button and licking it out?” Talia asked, lifting her shirt to reveal her navel. Parker cocked an eyebrow. “Hmm…that’s something to think about for a later celebration,” he said. Talia pouted. Parker held up his hands. “I don’t have any champagne on hand,” he protested. “Then I’ll just have to

“You called Isaac,” Parker said when he walked into the apartment. Talia looked up at him and bit her lip. “I did,” she said. “But before you get mad, I didn’t say anything about what happened. And I did it because I knew you wouldn’t say anything to defend yourself.” Parker sighed. “I’m not mad,” he said, walking over to where she was seated, working on her miniature diorama. He leaned down and kissed her. “I’m grateful. Thank you. What you said to Isaac helped.” Talia grinned up at him. “So, they’re going to let you do the article?” Parker nodded. “They are.” “That’s so great,” Talia replied. “So it all worked out.” Parker pulled out a chair and sat down beside her. “Things have worked out for me, but what about you? What are your plans now? Without Mark controlling your every move, you can do anything you want.” Talia dropped her head and fidgeted with her fingers in her lap. “I don’t know what I want to do,” she said quietly. “I don’t think I wan

Talia pulled back from the kiss. “Don’t you think it was pretty selfish of me not to sacrifice myself for you?” she asked. “No,” he said, reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear. “What you did wasn’t selfish, it was survival. There’s a difference. Me expecting you to sacrifice yourself for my job would have been selfish. Are you doing what you need to in order to survive? Not selfish. Not in the slightest.” “It feels selfish,” she mumbled, leaning her forehead against his. “I feel like I need to do something to make it up to you.” Parker cupped her face. “Talia,” he whispered. “This is not some quid pro quo thing. There will be times when you will save me. I have no doubt about it. That’s how relationships work. It’s swings and roundabouts. There is no big tally sheet in the sky and nobody is keeping score.” “I just don’t want you to feel resentful—” Parker cut off the rest of her sentence with a kiss. “How could I be resentful of the fact that I get to have you in my l
Accidentally In Love With You CHAPTER 307
“She’s asleep,” Parker said, coming into the living room from his bedroom where Talia had finally succumbed to sleep. He slumped onto the couch beside Stephen and laid his head on his father’s shoulder. Anthony looked over at him from where he was sitting, going through some paperwork on his laptop, and Carter paced, not able to sit still. “I take it the article came out,” Parker said. “Yeah,” Carter replied with a sigh as he raked his hand through his hair. “It’s going to do us some damage,” Parker said. “Maybe,” Carter said with a shrug. “Maybe not.” Parker frowned at him. “What does that mean?” “It gets your name out there,” he replied. “It will drive people to your blog.” “Fucking hell, Carter,” Parker exploded, jumping to his feet. “Seriously? You think this is a good thing?” “I didn’t say that,” Carter replied. “I just said it wasn’t necessarily damaging to us.” “And what about Parker asked. “The article would have tanked that de
Accidentally In Love With You CHAPTER 306
Anthony had filed a police report as soon as he arrived in the city. “Their hands are tied,” Anthony said with a sigh. “There is no evidence of force and as she recently hid from the public because of a scandal, we have nothing to say she isn’t doing it again because of the latest issue.” “But can’t they force her to at least speak with them? To check that she’s okay?” Parker asked. “As far as they’re concerned, she has just gone into hiding again,” Anthony reiterated. “Until we have something to say otherwise, they can’t do anything. This has the potential to be a high-profile case because of who she is, so if they make a big deal about it and it turns out to be something innocent, it might blow up in their faces.” “That’s bullshit,” Parker growled, pushing up from his seat to pace around the room. He hated that he was sitting there doing nothing while Talia was trapped in her father’s house. It was torture to know where she was and yet not be able to get to
Accidentally In Love With You CHAPTER 305
“You have got to be fucking kidding me,” Talia said. After Mark’s big reveal the night before, Talia had been left to sleep off the effects of the sedative he’d given her. The fucking bastard. He’d locked her door so she couldn’t get out and the window was too far from the ground for her to escape that way. Not without breaking something, anyway. Which Talia wouldn’t have minded, except with the way she’d been feeling, the thing that got broken might very well be her head, and she was kind of attached to it being in one piece and remaining on her shoulders. So Mark had stalked her and Parker and then kidnapped her and drugged her and imprisoned her and he was under the impression that he was perfectly within his rights to do so. “I’m doing this for you,” Mark said. “Your mental health is at stake here.” “The only threat to my mental health is your arsehole behavior,” Talia snapped. They were sitting in the sunny kitchen at the table and Mark was trying to pretend that it

Carter clicked his fingers. “The original photos, the ones that were taken when you took her out to look at the miniature street art.” Carter turned to Parker. “You were in some of those photos. Your face was blurred, but that could have been done after the fact.” “So he’s been following me?” Parker asked. “You and Carter. Both would be my guess,” Jack said. “So he’s been following us, but how did he know I was sending a car to pick her up?” Parker asked. “Have you noticed anyone following you?” Carter asked. Parker shook his head and then paused. “What?” Carter asked. “What’s that look?” “It’s probably nothing,” Parker said. “Just say it,” Carter said. “I was speaking to Talia just before I went into the meeting he said. “When I hung up from the call, I bumped into a guy…you don’t think…nah. It can’t be. This isn’t some espionage movie.” “Could he have overheard your conversation?” Jack asked, leaning back in his chair and looking up

Parker was on a high. By all accounts, Atticus was on board with his proposal. Isaac just wanted to check in with the rest of the band before giving him a definitive answer. That was fine with Parker. Things would go much more smoothly if everyone was in agreement. The last thing he wanted was a hostile environment and if any of the members had misgivings about the proposal, then he would walk away. It would hurt, but he would do it. For this to work—for everyone involved—there had to be open communication and a willingness to participate. Without that, Parker may as well give up now. He climbed into his car, cursing the parking ticket and flapping on his windscreen. Getting out again, he grabbed it from under the windscreen wiper and shoved it into his glove compartment. The Playbook could pay for that. It was the price of doing business, after all. He turned the music up loud as he navigated through the heavy traffic toward his apartment building. He couldn’t wait to tell Ta
