“It’s already been secured,” Lynn says, and Bebe and I both turn to her “Kynan had soas out here yesterday They were updating the security system A woman naht now She’ll be by later”

My jaw drops slightly, aht But really, why should I be surprised? Of course he’d have had this place scoped out before he brought me here This is the man who performs prison breaks with a wink of his eye

He’s Kynan McGrath, and he’s going to be one step ahead of my stalker at all times

I iain, trusting in the man who I hired to protect me I’m safe here

He’ll protect me

I have nothing at all to worry aboutCHAPTER 9KynanHaving grabbed a bottle of beer out of the refrigerator, I h to the back patio that’s accessed frorounds earlier—al and hedges but still plenty of places to sneak in—and found them to be incredibly beautiful The house has quieted as both Joslyn and Bebe o Most of the evening I’d spent with Bebe, getting her up and running on a brand-new laptop I’d had Rachel buy per Bebe’s specifications

I step out onto the patio, ht-iron table that seats six and overlooks the pool Cutting to the right, I walk up five steps to a se covered with flowering vines Froe point, had the sun still been in the sky, I’d be able to clearly see the Pacific Ocean As it is, I can barely see theoff the water but not hts

Joslyn certainly has done well for herself, but I’e when she was just nineteen and bringing down the house in Vegas, I knew she was destined for big things

Since we broke up, she’s won multiple Grammys, filmed successful movies, and performed concerts in venues all over the world She’s an A-lister in Hollywood known for her triple threat of acting, singing, and dancing Her last major success was a year on Broadith a Tony award to prove her success there

Yeah, I’ve followed her career and I’ve alondered “what if” What if we’d stayed together? Would I have been traveling the world with her, riding on the coattails of her success? I feel safe in saying I wouldn’t be doing what I’one with her I would have let Joslyn have her chance to shine, and I would have been by her side for the long haul

But that didn’t fucking happen because for some unexplainable reason, she decided she wasn’t in love withof as going through her head

I was bitter for a long time

Years, actually

But then I moved past it

Sort of

I wouldn’t leta healthy dose of skepticism over a wos off made it incredibly easy to keep every other woth It was merely safer that way

The last few years, I’ve rarely thought about her When I would see so on TV or her naht even have a fond memory of her Certainly, the bitterness had ebbed away like a low tide

Which is why it bothers e around Joslyn now There was initial anger she reached out to o ice cold when I found out she’d almost been killed by a stalker Since then, I’ve been fueled by determination to keep her safe and hopefully have a bit of a face to face with this douchebag so I canhis hands on her

I try to focus on that I really do But when I’ other than how beautiful she is, or how soft I know her skin to be, or how a her

Some would say it may have been the blush of my first and only real love, but it’s not Joslyn is just the best fuck I’ve ever had Every single thing about her froainst mine, or even the taste of her pussy… there’s never been better
