“I’m deadly serious, Jules. I won’t be breaking this story.”

Her gaze flew back to him. “Why not?”

He shrugged. “It isn’t the kind of news I want to report. I can’t stand the damn paparazzi.”

That took her aback. She snorted, the indelicate sound amplified by the hush in his room. “Why should I trust you?”

“I haven’t given you reason not to, have I?” Alex crooked his fingers and beckoned her closer.

She stayed resolutely on the opposite side of the bed. “I’ve known you for three minutes. And in that time, you’ve already snuck around behind my back, researched my notorious past, and gone out of your way to dig up my mother’s presence here. You haven’t given me one good reason to trust you.”

“Your past isn’t so notorious. It happened long ago and since then we’ve had plenty of other more entertaining and interesting stories.”

Something inside her snapped. Sure, maybe there had been more interesting stories in the past ten years. But they hadn’t scarred her soul. They weren’t personal. Jules blinked back stinging tears. She wasn’t going to cry about the past. She’d changed. Even if Gitta hadn’t defended her in the midst of the brouhaha, she’d be damned if her mother’s secret saw the light of day.

She pinned him with an angry glare. “I want you gone. Get your shit and get the hell off my property.”

She rounded the end of the bed and stalked toward the door. Alex jumped off the bed. Wrapping his hand around her upper arm, he stopped her. The heat of his palm seeped through the fabric of her shirt. Her belly tightened at his touch. Dammit, she was furious at him and her body opted to betray her like this?
