Chapter 1

A text message pinged on Melissa’s phone, she clicked on the link included without thinking. She didn’t bother reading the content of the text knowing it was from her younger sister and assistant, Lindsey.

Usually, her sister sent her links about charity events she could attend, rumors about a new movie, or news from their parents. From time to time, she sent her funny videos to make her laugh.

This link, however, had nothing to do with any of this. When Mel read the headline, her heart stopped.

The video appeared grainy at first as the cell phone camera adjusted to the dim lighting in the club. Her current boyfriend, Brandon Allen, was smiling at the camera. An overly busty blonde sauntered into view, showing more skin than clothes, dancing seductively as she made her way toward him. He reached for her waist and pulled her onto his lap. She straddled him, her legs wrapping around his very private area in very plain sight.

Her brain screamed at her to stop watching. Something inside begged her to look away, turn it off, throw her smartphone across the room, but she couldn’t. It was obviously bad enough for Lindsey to send it to her, so she had to keep watching. No matter how much it was going to hurt.

The blonde’s skirt rode up, revealing her bare ass, and Brandon’s hands were suddenly there, squeezing it, slapping it, lifting her skirt higher. Then he fisted a handful of her hair, and yanked her head back, causing the rest of her hair to spill provocatively behind her. His lips pressed against her neck as he licked his way up to her mouth. She laughed, and then he kissed her. It was a mess of tongues and body parts grinding, with hands roaming in places hands shouldn’t be roaming in public.
