My knees were getting tired, but I was so close myself. I was seeing stars behind my eyelids as I threw my head back and a few pumps later my walls clenched around him, my legs buckled as wave after wave of pleasure wracked my body as I was trying to continue riding him.

Then his hand on my hip gripped harder and heat spilled inside of me. I couldn’t ride him anymore, my legs fully numb as he sank back down into the mattress, limp, pulling me by my breast to lay on top of him.

We were trying to catch our breath for a while, before gathering up enough strength to get into the shower.

Just before we were going to turn off the lights and get some sleep, Alex’s phone buzzed. “The raw pictures are ready.” He said, handing me the phone to scroll through them.

My lips curled into a smile as I noted my favorites. Most of them had turned out really well, despite how awkward we had felt at the moment. Alex traced patterns on my back with his fingers, a content smile on his face.

“Alex,” I began softly. “I've been thinking about something tonight.”

“Hmm?” He murmured, nuzzling closer.

“Are you ready to go public with our relationship? Tonight?”

The question hung in the air and I felt the gravity of my words hit him. “Do you think it's the right time?”

“I’m more scared that someone else, namely my ex, will announce it before us and take it away from us. I’m not hundredpercent ready but I know that I don’t want people to hear it from Michael of all people, first.”

“You know that I love you and that I wanted this from the start,” he said earnestly. “But we can only do it if you're comfortable with it.”

I took a moment to think about it and weirdly enough I thought back to the video Casey had sent me two months ago; the one with all the clips of Alex staring at me. The viewers already knew there was something between us, they made it clear that they knew every time we were on camera together.

“If we do this, Lauren will kill us when we get back home, you know that, right?” I finally said.

Alex nodded.

So we spent the next hour brainstorming the perfect announcement. We chose the kissing cosplay photo, the one just before Alex told me he loved me back.

His finger hovered over the post button.

“Just press it, we aren’t changing anything,” I said, my heart pounding.

He pressed the button, and it was done.

Within minutes, notifications flooded in, but we read none of them. Instead we turned them off for good and fell asleep.

Chapter 21

Emma

Our plane toucheddown in San Francisco and a wave of relief washed over me. The trip to L.A. had been amazing, but also draining. My social batteries were at an all time low.

We grabbed our luggage and made our way through the airport. Just as we were about to head out and get a taxi back to the apartment, Alex’s phone buzzed.

He glanced at the screen and then looked at me. “It’s Lauren. We’re about to get an earful.”
