This is all about her, and it will always be about her. I come second, and she will always fucking come first.

I take in a deep breath as I walk in through the back door of Barnes and Noble. This is one of the biggest Barnes and Noble in the world, and I am honored to be here, but this time, it is different. This time, I feel odd not having Lil here with me. I want her by my side. She might not be ready to tell the world about us, but I still want her by my side nonetheless.

These events use to be fun, I enjoyed them and talking to my fans, but this time all of this is getting in my way of being with Lil and I don't fucking like it.

My agent walks beside me as I stop and look into the wide-open store. There are tons of people in line, standing behind the red rope.

“Fox, they are all here to see you, buddy. You should be happy, a room filled with girls.”

Normally, I would be happy, but now I have changed. They don't know it, but they will soon enough.

I lean against the door frame and cross my arms over my chest, my agent takes a few steps in front of me and motions over for the first set of girls to come past the rope.

For fuck sake.

Three girls stop before me, reaching out their hands with my book. I take each book and open to the first page, I quickly sign and give them each their book back.

I nod, and they smile.

I take another deep breath while waiting for the next set of girls to stop before me. One of the girls catches my attention for a second as I take her book. All these girls are reminding me of one thing, I was a fucking asshole that tried to get lost in sex with as many women as I could before I met Lil. But now I can only think how I wish she were the one standing before me.

I take the books from them and start to sign one of the girls leans in her hand, now resting on my lower back

“Jaxon, I think I need what only you can give me, honey,” She whispers; the fuck? How the fuck did that line ever fucking work on me.

“It's not going to happen,” I say calmly as I sign the last book and hand it back to all three of them. I turn and look down at the girl, the warmth from her hand now soaking through the back of my shirt.

I lean down and rest my lips against her ear. “Get your hand off of me,” I say through gritted teeth.

I pull back and look into her eyes, I can see the hurt in her eyes, but I don't fucking care.

The hurt quickly turns into rage and desire, for fuck sake. “Don't play games with me, Jaxon; you know you want me,” She says in a low, dark voice.

“No, really, I don't,” I snap back.

She chuckles and shakes her head, before I can move back she grabs the back of my head and pulls me down smashing her lips to mine.

I quickly pull back and glare at her “What the fuck was that.” I say, feeling my blood start to boil; it seems this fucking chick has forgotten who the fuck I am.

“You just need to remember,” She says softly.

“Remember what?” I ask, not being able to hide my anger.

“That I am yours,” She says with pride.

“I don't want you,” I say as I stand up straight. She stands still next to me as I turn and look at the next few girls in line. My heart stops as I see Liliana, the next girl in line, holding a big stack of my books in her arms.

Her eyes are locked on the girl as I take several steps forward. I stop in front of her, and her eyes now stop on me. I can see the tears building up in her eyes.

I don't know what she saw, but I know what she thinks is wrong.

“Darlin, please,” I start to beg, but she drops her books at my feet, and without saying a word, she lifts her hand and slaps me across the face.

The sting makes my eyes water as I keep them on her.

“Am I just a game to you, Jaxon?” She asks in a pain-filled voice, making my heart ache.

“What? No. Lil,” I say, shaking my head.
