“How was I, love?” Charlie asked when the entire first group was dismissed from the studio.

“You were fantastic. The camera loves you.”

“And I it,” he said with a wink. “Care to join me for lunch? I’m famished after cooking a dish I’m not allowed to eat.”

Whitney clenched her teeth. “I wish I could, but I need to stay here for the day to see all of the contestants.” Or just one . . .

“C’mon, I’ve missed you. It’s been a few days.” He wiggled his eyebrows, and Whitney bit her lip, shaking her head, knowing he was missing her naked beneath him. It’d been over a week since they’d slept together, and after her encounter with Wes, she wasn’t quite sure if there’d be another roll in the hay in Charlie’s future. But she knew it would be foolish to cut things off completely, seeing as she and Wes were just getting to know each other. She checked her watch, knowing she could slip out to eat and return for Wes’s debut on stage.

“Okay, a quick bite, but then I really need to come back.”

His face brightened as he clapped his hands together. “All right. Let me wash this shite off my face and I’ll be right with you.”

“Meet me at the gate,” Whitney said, grabbing her purse.

“You got it, Boss.” He winked again before walking back to the dressing rooms.

You’re not doing anything wrong. It’s okay. It’s just lunch. It’s okay.

Overcome with anxiety, Whitney walked to her car, calling Elle on the way.

“What the hell is wrong with me?”

“What do you mean?” Elle asked, surprise in her tone.

“I feel guilty. Like really guilty.”

“Wow, a new emotion for you.”

“Gee, thanks.” Whitney rolled her eyes.

“Well, I mean, c’mon, Whit. Let’s be real.”

“Okay, fine.”

“Tell me what’s up.”

“It’s Wes. He came over yesterday and we had sex.”

“Finally!” Elle cheered and Whitney smiled at her friend’s enthusiasm. “I knew that cowboy couldn’t hold out for long. Wait, was it bad?”

“Ellie, it was incredible—I had multiple orgasms, and you know that’s never happened before.”

“I have them all the time,” Elle giggled.

“Don’t remind me. That man is perfect, isn’t he?”

“Okay, sorry, I wanna hear more.”

“The thing is, it’s more than sex with him, more than chemistry. He listens, he cares . . . or at least, it seems like he does. He asks questions, ya know? Like, we talked about my dad. I told him the carnival story. It’s like he wants to know me, like . . . really know me. I thought it was a line when we first met, like it was part of his shtick. But it’s real. It feels real.”

“He sounds wonderful.”

“Nolan couldn’t even remember how I liked my eggs after we’d had breakfast together hundreds of times. When I’m with Wes, I feel like I’m the only woman in the world. How is that possible? I don’t understand.”

“Oh, my sweet friend,” Elle murmured. Whitney heard her sigh, and became confused. Her voice sounded all-knowing, like she’d figured it all out. But Whitney hadn’t.
