~Starla~

“Fuck me,” I mumble as I page through my Instagram. I’m in Levi’s bed, the sheet wrapped around my naked body. I can hear Levi in the shower, blissfully unaware of the social media shitstorm that I’m watching.

There are videos of the whole scene—from different angles, of course. The comments below them range from whoa, what a bitch! The waitress just wanted a photo! to why don’t people leave celebrities alone when they’re trying to live a normal life?

There are more still photos, some zooming in on Levi.

“What in the hell?” I read the caption on one of the pictures.

Does anyone know who the tall drink of water is? I don’t recognize him. Is he famous?

And the comments . . .

He’s not famous. I did a Google image search, and it looks like he’s a cop in Seattle.

Love his salt and pepper hair!

What does Starla want to do with an old dude? She’s way too good for that. Hell, I’d fuck her.

In your dreams, asshole.

Maybe he’s her bodyguard?

Oh, that could be.

“What are you scowling at?” Levi asks as he walks into the bedroom, naked as the day he was born. My eyes feast on him, taking in lean muscle and smooth, tan skin. He’s hot as hell, and anyone who thinks differently can bite me.

“This turned into a social media mess,” I reply. “I’m surprised the publicity team hasn’t started texting me yet.”

“It can’t be that big of a deal,” he says as he slips on a clean pair of boxer briefs. “That chick was out of line.”

“Photos and videos spin things,” I mutter. “And it pisses me off that they’ve dragged you into this.”

I whip the covers off and reach for my clothes, yanking them on in jerking motions.

I’m so damn pissed.

And who the hell am I to think that I can have any kind of normal relationship, with Levi or anyone else? This will always happen. The media and fans will twist it to be something ugly.

“Starla.”

“I think maybe I should go home. I’ll call an Uber.”

“Hold on.”

“No, it’s better this way.” I shake my head as I slip my feet into my shoes. “It’s just not going to work out between us, Levi, and I was silly to think that it might. It’s not fair to do this to either of us. To open us up to gossip and scrutiny. You didn’t ask for this.”

“Stop moving.”

His voice is hard, catching my attention, and my gaze swings to his. He’s pissed off. His jaw is clenched, his hands balled into fists.

“What the fuck, Starla? I’m not a child. I’m capable of making my own life choices, and if being in a relationship with a ridiculously famous woman is one of those choices, well, it’s mine to make.”

“I just think—”

“I said stop,” he snaps, and I blink at him in surprise. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I shouldn’t want to be with you, but it has nothing to do with what strangers are saying about us on platforms I don’t
