the room and lets her bag drop on the floor. I smile, thinking for a moment, she must be tempted to run over and jump on the giant king sized bed.
“Weston, yours is down there.” Josh points down the hallway. “Third on the right.”
“How many rooms do you have?” Riley asks.
“Five.” Josh leans against the doorjamb. “Mine is next door if you need anything.”
“I’ll take note, thanks.” Riley smirks and crosses her arms on her chest. “What are the plans for tonight, boys?”
Josh and I grin at the same time, probably thinking the exact same thing. “Party tonight. We’re celebrating Weston’s position at Montedesco.”
“Sounds great. I should have brought Addy with me.”
“Addy?” Josh asks.
“Riley, don’t get him going. He’s already left a trail of drool from you.”
Josh laughs, but remains cool.
Riley doesn’t blush, and it surprises me. That woman loves the attention…she just happens to be the biggest flirt on the planet.
“I’d like to go shopping then, for something to wear.”
“I’ll take you,” I say, surprising myself. I hate shopping.
Riley shakes her head. “I’ll be fine. I’m sure you two have lots of stuff to talk about anyway.”
Josh stands up straight. “I’ll let Trevor know you’ll be going out. He’ll take you wherever you need to go.”
“Trevor?”
“The man who drove you here.”
“Oh, right. Awesome. Okay, I’ll be ready in five.”
Josh leaves to make a few calls, and I wander down to my room, setting my luggage down on the equally large bed.
I hear Riley talking from her room, she giggles quietly and tells whoever she’s talking to that she loves them. Must be her husband. I sigh and unzip my bag.

Leah
I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Weston Casey. He flipped my world on its ass in less than thirty seconds…and all he did was touch my hand and whisper in my ear. He would probably give me a heart attack if he did anything else to me. Lord knows my heart was racing fast enough that I thought it just might implode inside my chest.
Just thinking about it is starting to make me pant. I close my eyes and push my head harder into the pillow. I’m like a sexually frustrated teenager, for crying out loud. I have guys approach me all the time, especially since I’ve become a recognizable face. But, they’re just…blah.
Weston is like the Fourth of July. During a thunderstorm, tornado, hurricane and tsunami. He’s one of a kind, I would stake my life on it. He just seems so...so…unattainable. He’s got some wall up, and I don’t think there is a way over or around it.
My ringing cellphone pulls me from my misery.
“Hey Neil.”
“Hey girl, did Lucas call you?”
“No, what’s up?”
“Good Morning New York wants to do an interview, we’re going back to the Big Apple.”
“Shit,” I whisper.

Weston
When I walked into the great room after my shower, Riley was sitting on one of Josh’s huge leather couches with her arms crossed, glaring at me.
“Hello, Weston.”
“Riley,” I said, nodding at her, wondering what was up. “How was shopping?”
“Expensive.”
“Good.” I smile. “Care to model anything for me later?”
“You wish.”
I walk toward her and stand near the coffee table. “What’s with the glare?”
“I need you to promise me something.”
Well, she’s already got my interest, now I’m extremely curious. “Let’s hear it.”
“Leah’s coming back to New York.”
My chest tightens.
“Her break was cut short, they’re doing an interview on Good Morning New York. So I need you to promise me that you’ll behave.”
“Behave? Are we going to the show or something?”
“No. Leah’s coming to Josh’s party tonight. I already asked him.”
I swallow and close my eyes. I don’t want her here. It’s bad enough I have to witness Josh salivating over Riley. “I make no promises.”
“I figured you would say that. So I just want you tell you
