ASHTON
The security team remains oblivious to the fact that Willow and I are aware of the @AshtondeadJohnson account. Lennox has gone against the team's protocol in the past, so this situation isn't entirely unfamiliar.
Lennox's annoyance is evident as he regards Kaleb's arrival.
Kaleb, the Omega co-lead, seems to pay no attention to me and Lennox. He takes a seat near Willow's feet, while she absentmindedly scratches her neck and props herself up on her arm. "Kaleb," she greets him.
"Willow," he replies, as though they haven't seen each other all day, which clearly they have.

LENNOXI knew I had to step back and let him pass, but before he could go, I reached out and grabbed his wrist, whispering in his ear, "You're not alone, Ashton."He took a deep breath, his expression almost breaking through the barriers he had erected. However, he responded, "I have to take this call." I watched as he strode down the hallway with purpose and disappeared into the second lounge, closing the door behind him.Davin guided me to the aisle of bunks, speaking in a hushed voice. "You don't want to get involved in that," he warned. "They've been at odds for years."Running both hands through my hair, I replied softly, "I can't just stand by and watch Sandro tear him apar

ASHTONThe small hotel bar was dimly lit, with a sign illuminating "Chicago" in bold letters. A variety of liquor bottles lined the counter, but there was no bartender in sight. The walls were adorned with Chicago Cubs posters in blue and red, and apart from one table, all the high-top tables were empty.As we entered, the five bodyguards sitting at the table instantly noticed us, and their conversation seemed to quiet down. I could sense that Kaleb, Perth, Davin, Seth, and Perry's attention was on me, not Lennox.Damn.It felt like I had some kind of superpower that rendered me incapable of speaking."Hey," I sa

ASHTONPerth interrupted, drumming his fingers on his whiskey glass. "Hey, everyone. Ashton should be able to skip any dares or truths that he wants—""No," I interjected, not wanting to appear too controlling or rigid. I couldn't be passive in this situation. "I can play the game just like you guys."Perth shifted on his stool, surprised by my response. "Are you sure? You can skip anything I wrote down. You should, really. I didn't think you'd be here."Davin playfully wrapped his arm around Perth's shoulders. "Perth strongly suggests and recommends it."Clearly, they all knew something I didn't. Before I

ASHTONLennox steps down from the stool and stands in front of Kaleb. "Write 'fuck you, Lennox' wherever you find space," he says.Without uttering a word, Kaleb uncaps the pen and writes "I promise to follow the rules" near Lennox's collarbone.Lennox rolls his eyes and tucks his shirt into his back pocket before returning to the stool beside me.With another roll, Kaleb loses the bet again. He loses his second dice and reads, "Truth: how attracted are you to your client—no, this is inappropriate, Davin.""I can explain,

ASHTONLennox's gaze shifts towards me, surprise flickering in his eyes."It'll be really quick," the nerdy guy insists."Sorry," I reply, resolute in my decision.Lennox interjects, "The bar is closed."The sportier guy gestures towards the Jack Daniels. "Then how did you get that?""We're special," Davin asserts."Whiskey?" the geekier guy says, shaking his head. He places his hands on his J. Son beanie and looks at me. "You shouldn't be drinking, man."

ASHTONThe ballroom was packed with enthusiastic fans, every chair occupied. A pathway divided the room, leading to a microphone where fans eagerly awaited their turn to ask questions. A large banner, proudly displaying "FanCon presented by J.H.W. Philanthropies," served as the backdrop for a decent-sized stage. Five chairs were neatly arranged in a row, with the tour's moderator gently tapping the microphone at the podium.As soon as the moderator introduced us, we stepped onto the stage, causing an eruption of cheers from the crowd. The room echoed with applause and whistling, accompanied by the flashing of cameras.

LENNOXHe pauses, deep in thought, his mind churning with contemplation. "I'd survive either way," he says, breaking the silence. His hand moves from my chest to his own, emphasizing his point. "Between the two of us, I'm the trained swimmer."A smile forms on my lips as I respond, trying to steer the conversation in a metaphorical direction. "I meant metaphorically drowning."His expression darkens, a mix of 2% amusement and 98% irritation. But that doesn't bother me. I'm 100% satisfied with our exchange, and without realizing it, we draw closer to each other. The dirt and moss beneath our boots scuff and crunch."I'm not losing at anything," he asserts, attempting to reassure m
