SIXTEEN

Chanel

I wasn’t really one to brag, but I think I rocked that photo shoot. Kobe was like my lucky charm. Every time he gave me a taste or touch beforehand, I seemed to do really well. I felt confident, invincible. I could feel the envy pouring out of the other model’s pores.

And I could feel the regret seeping out of Riley’s.

Fucker.

This didn’t happen overnight. I trained for this. Sacrificed so much of my time and sleep to get things right. I’d bled in bad high heels and cried because I didn’t land a certain gig.

But doing it all paid off for me.

Nicole found an earlier flight to California for us after the shoot, so two hours after I finished, Kobe and I were boarding another plane. I wasn’t quite sure how to feel about him.

The sex was great, but it seemed to be just that to him. He said I was his, but did he mean me or just my body? I wasn’t kidding about what I said to him—he was confusing as hell and I hated being confused.

He was like a jigsaw puzzle and with each passing day, I was trying to piece him together and figure him out.

We didn’t talk much on the flight. Not even when we landed and got into the back of one of Dad’s limos.

I think Kobe was nervous. He fidgeted more. Looked at me less. He seemed bothered. When the driver parked and we got out in front of Dad’s mansion on the beach, I caught a glimpse of that worry.

Kobe was so distracted that he didn’t come for my door, so the driver had to. And when I got out and looked at Kobe, he was still standing by the passenger door, staring ahead at the house.

The driver got our bags out of the trunk and started for the house, but I waited, standing beside Kobe.

“He won’t know,” I said softly, as a cool breeze drifted by and played with the loose tendrils of my hair.

“That’s not what I’m worried about,” he murmured.

“Then what is it?”

“I’m worried about myself, and how hard it will be to keep my damn hands off you for two days.”

I bit down on a smile, pulling my eyes from his before he could catch my gaze. “Don’t say shit like that. It only confuses me. You say you don’t want more out of this, yet words like those are a sure way to make a girl like me fall hard.”

I walked away before he could say anything else. Eventually, he followed, and as soon as we got inside, I felt the dread sink in, landing in the pit of my belly like a brick.

I was happy to be here for Mom’s charity, but at the same time, I wasn’t so sure how I was going to be able to hold back either. Kobe amounted to a good time. He took my mind off life with the simplicity of his touch and the way he looked at me, like I was the sexiest woman he’d ever laid eyes on.
