"Elle! Open the fucking door." I jerk awake and blink my eyes, trying to get them to focus as I hear more pounding on my bedroom door. "Elle! What the hell?" I grab my glasses from the side of the bed and put them on. I'm blind without them unless I have my contacts in."I'm coming," I call, stumbli
My phone rings, and I see it's the agency. "This is Estella," I answer, trying to sound like I'm in a good mood."I heard you caused quite a scene last night," Vivian says."It wasn't my fault." I rush to explain that I can't control other people's actions."I never said it was." I can hear her clic
I don't know what Rogue had to do to get this address, but I don't think I've ever gotten my shit together so fucking fast. He got me out of jail after I finally got a hold of him. Thank god he's a lawyer with some pull at the hotel. I know how much he hates giving favors, and he probably gave more

"Find your way in here okay?" I ask while she hops up on the seat at the bar and watches me cook."You didn't mention how big this cabin is. It's more like a lodge." She looks around and I realize how much I like her being here around my things. "How long has it been here?""Well, that's tough to sa
God, he feels good. As soon as he wrapped his arms around me, I was out. I felt safe all night, and I can't remember the last time I truly had that. Even in my own home, my brother always has random people coming and going. Heck, the walk to and from my place isn't the best either. In the city I'm a
