father calling him about?”
    “Hey, Dad, what’s up?” he asked.
    “Hi, son, I just thought I’d put a call through to you.”
    “It’s not like you to do.”
    “We saw your conference. We weren’t aware of Addison’s career development. Your mother, she’s not exactly impressed. She’s been by your house, and no one is answering.”
    Rubbing his temple, he cursed in his mind.
    “Dad, I’m happy for my wife to be making a career.”
    “Your mother has been losing her mind, Shaun. She wants you and Addison to come around for dinner on Sunday. She’s inviting Addison’s parents as well.”
    Shaun cursed. “Look, we’ve had a few setbacks, okay? I’m not going to get into it on the phone. Tell Mom, we’re not going to make it.”
    “I’m giving you a warning, she’s out to get answers.”
    He was thankful for the heads-up. His mother had always been a pain. She truly believed she was helping, when in fact, she was always causing problems.
    Speaking with his father for a few minutes, Shaun finally hung up after saying goodbye. He spoke to his father regularly, whereas he kept a wide berth of his mother. She was the type of woman who always found fault with everything. Addie had been their second choice.
    It was so damn frustrating.
    The drive toward Addison’s apartment helped to clear his mind. He was heading toward the door when he saw Dean park his car. The other man climbed out of his car, and he looked tired.
    “Long day?” Shaun asked.
    “Long, tiring, and freezing. Do you have any idea how hard it is to stand on a beach and look hot, while you’re freezing your ass off?”
    “You’re a model?”
    “Yep, a damn good one as well.” Dean clicked his car shut. “I make big bucks.”
    “Why are you living here then?”
    Addie he understood living in a modest apartment, but model Dean, he didn’t see it. Most of the successful models were extravagant, and required a lot of expensive jewels, clothes, and apartments.
    “I know I’m not going to be stunning forever. I’m going to need another job, so living modestly, means I can come up with plans for the future. You’re going up to see Addie?”
    “Yes. Don’t call her Addie.” It was his name for her. No one else had the right to call her Addie. She was all his.
    “You can call her Addie, but I can’t.”
    “No.”
    “Damn, you’re whipped, I mean seriously whipped, and Addie doesn’t think you have a thing for her.”
    Shaun paused. “Addie has talked to you about me?”
    “I’m good at keeping secrets, and it wasn’t like she could hide it from me. She was a married woman, who lived alone without her billionaire husband to visit. You were also dating a lot of other women.”
    Gritting his teeth, he fisted his hands. “I never cheated on her.”
    “I never said you did. I just put two and two together.” Dean shrugged. “I need a drink. Have a nice night.”
    They both entered the main floor of the apartment. This building only had two large apartments, and it was in a good part of the city. He knocked on Addie’s door, and waited. She opened it, and was still smiling when she saw it was him.
    “Hi, I didn’t expect you to come this early.”
    “I left work early, and I wanted to come and see you.”
    Addie opened the door wide enough for him to enter.
    “I got a call from my dad,” he said, brushing past her.
    “Is that not a good thing?” She closed the door and leaned against him. He couldn’t help but stare at her. She still wore the jeans he’d unbuttoned earlier. The shirt pulled across her tits, and all he wanted to do was strip her naked.
    “No. Dad has just warned me. Our moms are not exactly impressed with your latest success.”
    She sighed and stepped away from the door. “I made you dinner.” She moved past him, and he followed her into the kitchen. “They’re the only two people in the world who wouldn’t be happy about their daughter, or in-law, finding some modicum of success and happiness.
