I barely held in my thought that Laurie seemed to be doing pretty well a little while ago.
“He needs a friend, not a quick fling.”
“I can be a friend.”
“Can you?” Beck asked.
“Like you said, I rarely fuck a man twice, so clearly I can.”
“You never make friends with any of them either.”
“Beck, he’s your friend, and you care about him. He’s obviously been through hell. I’m not going to do anything to make it worse.”
“You better fucking listen to my messages from now on and answer the fucking phone when I call.”
“I thought I was supposed to relax while I was here, not hover over my phone waiting for your every command.”
“I expect to hear from you tomorrow, and you better tell me he’s doing better than he is right now.”
I ran a hand through my hair. “Fine. Good night.”
Beck ended the call without saying anything else.
I wanted to throw my phone across the room, but I tossed it on the bed instead. The bed that was now missing a sheet. The bed that was still damp from me fucking the hell out of Laurie. I might have put things together if my stupid brother had told me yesterday that he was coming.
I sat down on the edge of the bed and dropped my head into my hands. Despite all of this, I still wanted him. What the fuck was I going to do?

LAURIE
What the fuck had I done? Beck was the best friend I’d ever had. He’d offered me this trip. He wanted to help me, and now I’d lied about who I was and fucked his brother.
You didn’t really lie.
I let Worth believe I’d been hired for him. If he’d had any idea I was his little brother’s friend he would never have fucked me.
And you would never have had that experience.
It was by far the best sex I’d ever had in my life, and now I absolutely wasn’t getting any more, not that I’d thought I would anyway. Worth had a reputation for only being with a partner once, and I’d known he was eventually going to find out who I was. I just hadn’t thought it would happen like this.
Beck probably hated me now, and that would leave me with no friends, no home, and no money. What the fuck had I been thinking?
You wanted something for yourself.
But my only friend’s brother?
My stomach churned, and my throat felt tight. The room started to spin around me. I was falling apart. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t stay here, letting Beck support me on this vacation, after what I’d done. And I sure as hell couldn’t stay in this villa with Worth. I stuffed my belongings into my messenger bag, leaving the things I’d bought with the money Beck had given me. He could have them or return them or whatever.
I hated the thought of spending any of the meager funds I’d manage to squirrel away, but I could manage the fee to change my return ticket to get on the earliest flight I could. I’d just stay at the airport until then.
I dressed as fast as I could and grabbed my bag, praying Worth wouldn’t come out of his room. I’d heard him shouting at Beck for a while, defending me, even though I didn’t understand why the fuck he would want to.
The villa was silent now. Maybe I could reach the door and get out without Worth hearing me. I’d had a lot of practice moving quietly.
I reached the front door and was disengaging the safety lock when Worth came out of his bedroom.
“Where are you going?” he asked.
