“Whatever.”

“When are you coming home?”

I slouch into the headboard, bringing my feet to my chest. “I’m not sure when I’ll be back. I’m having a lot of fun here.”

“Yeah, it certainly looks that way,” says Holden in a dull tone. “But you’re forgetting that your actions have consequences for all of us.”

“It’s always all about you, Holden.”

“We’re shooting the sequel in a few weeks, and you’re the female fucking lead.”

“Don’t you fucking swear at me.”

Holden huffs down the receiver. “Everyone needs you back here. Including me.”

My breath hitches. I’m lost for words. Holden fucking Gray is basically telling me that he misses me. I’ve been waiting for this to happen for two years. And now I couldn’t care less…

“How would Valentina feel if she heard you say that?”

“I’m sure she wouldn’t care.”

“Jeez. You’re an awful human being.”

The door bursts open. Eli stands in the doorway, still shirtless, looking like dessert.

It’s about time I had some sugar.

“I gotta go.”

“Who are you talking to?” mouths Eli as he steps into the room.

“Oh,” I reply, keeping the phone next to my mouth so Holden can hear too, “nobody important. He wishes he were, though.”

“Sienna—”

“I think it’s time I introduce you to one of my special friends,” I say, pulling the phone away from my ear to activate the video option. Flipping the camera, I raise my phone so Holden can see what real muscles looks like. “This is Eli. And before you say anything—no, he’s not on steroids. Some men are just bigger, taller, and better than you are, Holden.”

“Sienna—”

“Gotta run! My Prince Charmings are waiting for me.” I end the call and toss my phone on the bed. “God, he’s such a prick.”

“That’s the important phone call you had to make?” asks Eli, looking totally confused. “To somebody… not important?”

“I just needed to let him know how unimportant he is.”

“That guy’s your ex, right?”

“Ah, so Knox told you about him…”

“Do you still love him?”

“Ha!” I spit. “He wishes.” I swing my legs around the bed and hop off, approaching Eli. He can’t stand there looking like that and not expect me to touch him. I flex my fingers, running all ten over his defined muscles.

Eli places his hands on my arms, steadying me. “Answer my question, Sienna.”

“I did love him. I loved him up until I came here and met the three of you.”

I feel Eli’s muscles twitch under my palms as his entire body tenses.
