CHAPTER 14

MARCH FIVE MONTHS EARLIER

Parker.

Who the hell was Parker?

Lexi had no idea who this woman was, but she made her really uncomfortable.

She wasn’t sure of Ramsey’s relationship with Parker. How could he know someone like her and never bring her up? It’s not like they had been shy about their past. She had finally opened up about Jack. She had told him what had happened between them. He may not know how strong the feelings were or what happened right under Bekah’s and his nose, but he knew enough about her past. He could put the pieces together pretty easily.

This bought up another big concern—the fact that he had openly admitted to her that he’s never had a girlfriend…that he’d never been in love. Not that she was claiming he was a liar. She didn’t even want to cross that bridge. But the look Parker had given him was beyond friendship. The shock in Ramsey’s face was more than an old friend showing up at the beach. The girl could be nothing more than an old family friend. It was possible. But then why did her gut tell her otherwise?

She knew he had been somewhat of a Casanova before being with her. What if this girl was one of his conquests? What if she had been Lexi at one point in time—whisked off to a beach for a good time with friends and an endless supply of sex?

No. Lexi shuddered. He had told her he loved her. That much she was certain of. She remembered his statement all those months ago—he had never been in love. And though this girl may or may not be a notch in his belt, it wasn’t more than that. She had to believe him…trust him.

She took a deep breath trying to slow down all of the thoughts swirling around in her head. She was having a hard time keeping it together. Even if Parker wasn’t someone he had slept with, how many others were there? Would she ever meet them? Had she already met them? She wasn’t getting anywhere with that train of thought and really it was hypocritical to even go down that route. She couldn’t be angry…merely curious.

And she was incredibly curious about Parker. Especially curious as to why they looked so much alike. Sure, the more she was around her the less the resemblance was pronounced, but it was still there. How could Ramsey know someone who looked so similar to her and never mention it? In fact, no one had mentioned it before. Surely someone had to have noticed that they looked alike.

Lexi didn’t know what to expect, and she didn’t much like it.

Resigning herself to find out the hard way, the three of them wandered into the beachside club, where their planned outing was held. The place was in every way a tourist haven. The walls were covered in beach slogans, coconut bras, grass skirts, and offers of margaritas, daiquiris, and other tempting beverages. The staff wore bathing suits and sun-worn, thin clothing that could have come straight out of a surf shop.
