LEXIE
Trevor freakin’ Vaughn.
Here.
In the flesh.
The last person I ever thought I’d see again. Period. Let alone at this random hotel, thousands of miles from where he lives, AND when my besties and I are in the middle of a crisis.
Remi, my best friend, was just held hostage by her boyfriend Chance’s ex, Helen.
Kat, my other best friend, and I had barely rescued Remi, with Chance’s help, before Helen kidnapped him at gunpoint. So now we’ve got to try and save him.
Except we just bumped into Trevor.
Literally.
He’s my ex. Twice over. And he’s at this same hotel.
Of all the hotels in all the world, why this one? And at the same time that I’m here with Kat and Remi?
Crazy, right? I mean, the chances have got to be at least a million to one. Maybe more.
I look around, wondering if it’s a joke, but my eyes can barely see beyond the broad chest in front of me. The one I just bounced off. I pat the pecs at eye level and nod appreciatively. He’s filled out really well in the last few months. The shirt he’s wearing does nothing to hide that fact, or the muscles in his arms, for that matter.
Was he this built before? Is he lifting farm animals for exercise instead of healing them?
Trevor’s hands haven’t left my shoulders from when he prevented me from falling backward after we ran into each other. The heat from his palms sear through my shirt, warming my skin from the outside in.
The hubbub of the elevator bay continues around us. Remi is talking at a high-pitched level and gesturing her arms around. Kat tugs at my phone, which I still have grasped in both my hands. Hotel guests jostle about.
But all I see is Trevor. He’s had this effect on me since the first time we had sex, where I get all stupefied when he’s near.
“Lexie,” he breathes, his voice low and his expression soft. I sway toward him, wanting to feel him against me. I’ve missed him. I don’t care that he disappeared without a word. I don’t care about the crowds around us. Just one full body connection. One more time where every bit of me touches every bit of him—
“Trevor, thank God. Do you have a car?” Remi yells, yanking me out of Trevor’s grasp, forcing me to hear her.
Shit!
I forgot about Remi.
And Chance!
We are in an emergency. I don’t have time to deal with Trevor Vaughn right now.
Plus, I’m mad at him.
I forgot that too.
I move to Remi’s side as Trevor turns toward her, his eyes widen, and his mouth falls open.
“My God, Remi. What happened to you? You were just fine earlier.”
Wait? What?
“How would you know how she was earlier?” Kat asks.
