It’s been a while since the three of us were together, and I’m excited for them to meet Jessica.

“You think Lily and Jessica will team up on me?” I ask him, and he laughs.

“Probably. Lily is always up to no good, and it sounds like Jessica will fit right into her schemes,” he says. I sigh, thinking about the beauty sleeping in the room next door.

“Yeah, probably. I’m excited for them to meet, though,” I tell him, and Sebastian turns serious.

“You’re falling for her, aren’t you?” he asks me, and even though it feels terrifying to say it out loud, Sebastian sees right through my shit, so there’s no point in denying it.

“Yeah, man, I totally am,”

Chapter 24

JESSICA

I’m packing my bag when Luke comes up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.

“I don’t want you to go,” he says, and I lean into him.

“That makes two of us.”

The Star News team is arriving today, so that means I’m going to the paddock. These past few days have been incredible.

We’ve been exploring Melbourne and Luke’s favourite spots around the city.

At night, we’ve been discovering each other and every surface of his hotel room.

Reality is setting in, and I’ve been contemplating the possibilities ahead.

I haven’t found anything in my contract about having a relationship with a driver, or anyone else for that matter, but that doesn’t make it okay.

I want to be completely sure before I decide to make this public.

“I’ve been thinking,” I say as I turn in his arms.

“Yeah?”

“I just want to be sure that there will be no consequences ofus being together before we tell anyone. So, for now, I’m all yours in private, but you’ll have to wait a little while before you can have me in public.” I tell him and kiss his lips.

He sighs into the kiss and pulls me tighter against him.

“Good thing I have the patience of a saint then, and that you’ll let me do anything with you in private.” He smirks at me, and I blush, thinking about last night.

Luke had bought handcuffs for the bedroom, and he put them to good use.

I finish packing, and Luke insists on giving me a ride into the paddock.

When he parks at a safe distance from the bus, we spend a few minutes making out like a bunch of teenagers. I don’t know when I’ll get the chance to see him next, so I try to enjoy these last few minutes together before everyone else wants a part of my man.

I’m sitting at the makeshift office we’ve set up for the weekend when a beautiful blonde with familiar hazel eyes stands in front of me. She has a bright smile on her face, and she holds out her hand for me to shake.

“I’m Lily, andI hope to God you’re Jessica. If not, I really look like a lunatic right now,” she tells me, and I can already tell that we will get along.

“You’ve found the right girl. I’m Jessica. Nice to meet you, Lily.” I shake her hand, and we both laugh at the formal greeting.

“Did you just get here?” I ask her, and it’s almost scary how similar their eyes are, the most beautiful light brown colour. Her blonde locks stand in contrast to Luke’s dark hair.
