“There’s no place around the campfire for a quitter’s blanket.”

~ Walker Briggs

I’d finally hit my wall. My Travis-powered energy had finally run its course. After three straight sleepless nights, I was officially exhausted.

My arms were heavy as I laid out a privacy towel and set the massage oil beside the bed. I knew that I needed to rally. In a few minutes Travis would be here and, unlike the night before, I was going to do this the right way. No more half-assing. I’d cut corners from the full massage experience because I’d been a big fat chicken. I’d told myself that I was going to focus on his upper body since I’d put him through a PT session, but that was just an excuse, the truth was I was scared.

It’s just a massage. I told myself it was no big deal. I’ve worked on a lot of people. Some I’ve liked and some not so much.

An hour ago I was working on Alexandria. She and Tad returned from picking up the camera package and her lower back was hurting from the long car ride. She’d texted to say that her back was hurting and asked if I had time. When I opened the door she was wearing only a robe. By the time I closed the door it was on the ground.

As a model, I guessed that she was used to being naked around people. And nudity honestly didn’t bother me. The fact that my Ex’s fiancée was seven months pregnant and I still had more cellulite than her…did.

My annoyance had nothing to do with Tad. I had no interest in getting back together with him. I just didn’t need to see my replacement’s model-perfect body up close and personal.

But I had, for the same reason I was going to give Travis a proper massage, because I was a professional. I was so tired at this point that I wasn’t sure even Travis Briggs in his birthday suit would wake me up.

A knock on the door startled me. I turned and looked at the door and now that the moment was here I realized I’d been naïve to think my exhaustion would help me get through this. My heart was racing as I crossed the room to the door, but I wasn’t going to back out. I finished things I started and I always kept my word.

When I turned the knob and pulled the door open Travis stood on the other side wearing one of his trademark smiles that fell as soon as he saw me. “Are you feeling okay? You look tired.”

“Wow.” I shook my head as he came in and I shut the door. “It’s a good thing you’re not my real boyfriend.”

“Why’s that?” he asked as his grin returned making him look both bad boy and perfect gentleman. I didn’t know how a smile could do that, but Travis pulled it off. It was easy to get distracted by it, but I wouldn’t get sidetracked.

Placing my hands on hips, I stood my ground.
