Falling in love has actually been pretty damn good for my productivity. I used to write late into the night but since Arden came into my life, my entire schedule has changed. Now, I get up when she leaves for the day, and I generally write the entire time she’s at work. It turns out that having a more normal schedule is exactly what I needed. I’m not just getting work done—I’m actually ahead of my deadlines.

Sitting in my home office working on my script, I’m starting to think about wrapping it up for the day as the phone rings. Assuming that it’s Arden letting me know she’s coming home, I pick up my cell without checking the caller ID.

“You on your way, beautiful?”

“Ex, we need to talk.”

It’s not Arden—it’s Laz—and he doesn’t sound happy.

“What’s up?”

“Where’s your fucking house phone?”

Looking over at where the phone should be, I see that the base is empty. Shrugging my shoulders, I answer, “Who the fuck knows. I’m thinking about turning it off entirely, really. Who uses that thing anyway?”

“Your fucking manager is who,” he snaps. “He’s been trying to call you for the last twenty minutes. As usual, when he couldn’t reach you, he called me. We need to talk.”

My palms immediately get clammy, and my stomach starts to churn. Lightning doesn’t strike twice, I assure myself. I’m with Arden now—there are no more sex tapes. Before her, I was a fucking lunatic about making sure that I only ever had sex in places that I chose. Generally, that meant the house I kept specifically for such things or a hotel room that I would choose at random.

“Please don’t fucking tell me there’s another sex tape. I don’t think I could handle that shit, and I can’t even imagine what that would do to—”

“It’s not you,” he interrupts. “It’s about Arden.”

Now my heart is pounding triple time. “What about her?” I snap.

“I fucking hate being the one to tell you this—but about half an hour ago two nude photos from someone claiming to be her ex-husband were released. He’s saying he’s got more and that they’ll go to the highest bidder.”

No. This can’t be right. Arden was never married. She’d have told me if she had been. The pictures can’t be real.

“My woman’s never been married before,” I say firmly.

“Don’t shoot the messenger,” he says calmly. “Apparently she was—to some fuckstick named Ricky Greenway. Details are sketchy right now because the story is just breaking, but I told your manager to get fucking on that and find out everything he can.”

I stand up so fast that my chair topples over behind me. “No one is buying pictures of my fucking woman,” I snap. “We need to get on this and nip it in the bud before anyone finds out.”

“I’m sorry Ex, but it’s too late for that. Your manager says that gossip sites are already bidding on the rest of the photos—”

“No, goddammit, you find me a way to get in touch with
