They walked up the side steps leading to the house,
and Alley walked straight to the massive windows. “Wow, I think we’re in
heaven,” she exclaimed and opened the sliding glass door to the deck. Trevas
had the biggest smile on his face as he watched her walk around admiring the
view. There wasn’t a house in sight, and the only noise was coming from the
ocean below, and the sounds of nature.

Alley turned and kissed him. “Do you have any idea how
much I love you right now?”

He wrapped her in his arms. “More than yesterday?”

“Most definitely.”

“You still hungry?”

“Not so much. I want to get in there,” she nodded to
the hot tub.

He laughed. “You go pee before you pee your pants, and
let’s eat, and then we will certainly get in there. Call your mom and let her
know we made it first.”

Alley used the house phone, glad that they had no
cellphone service and called her mom, and then opened her bag on the bed to see
what Trevas had packed for her.

She laughed when she pulled out the black silky teddy,
and the rest was her normal shorts, jeans, shirts, and sneakers.

Trevas made them a frozen pizza from the freezer and
complained about it the whole time. His was much better, but he didn’t want to
spend his time with Alley in the kitchen, and had quick easy food delivered and
was now regretting that decision.

“Now can we get in the hot tub?” she asked, excited to
sit in the tub, relax and enjoy the view with Trevas.

“Yes, let’s go,” he replied, and then laughed when she
got up and stripped her clothes.

“You know we could walk around here naked for the
entire week don’t you?” she asked, walking butt naked out to the deck.

“You walk around naked all the time,” he argued, kicking
his shoes off and following her out.

“Not completely naked.”

Trevas watched her slide into the hot tub, holding her
breath as she eased into the hot water.

He walked back inside and came back butt naked too;
carrying two glasses of wine and a single rose.

She smiled at him and took her wine and the one red
rose. She smelled it before laying it off to the side.

“You’re starting to scare me,” she told him with a
smile.

Trevas held his own breath as he too eased into the
hot water and sat across from her.

“Don’t be scared. I just want to spend the rest of my
life making you the happiest women on earth.”

“You already do that,” she said moving closer to him,
and putting her legs over top of his.

He pulled her up onto his lap and kissed her. She
moved to his side after a bit, and they drank their wine, looking out at the
most amazing view she had ever witnessed.

They sat in the hot tub until Alley complained about
her skin getting all wrinkled up and went to bed. Alley went to the bathroom
and brushed her teeth, combed out her hair and spritzed just a touch of perfume
on. She put the black teddy on with the matching thong panties, and checked
herself out in the mirror before returning to the man that she loved more than
her own life.

She walked slowly out of the bathroom, and he smiled.
“I love it,” he admitted, and she jumped on him.

“I hate it,” she stated, and he laughed. He knew she
wouldn’t like it, but felt flattered that she put it on for him.

“Want me to take it off of you?” he asked, running his
hands up her silky sides and down her backside. He stopped and looked down at
her and had to turn her a little so that he could see her butt in the thongs.

“Are you checking out my ass Mr. Evans?”

“Why no, Ms. Fletcher. I would never do something like
that,” he teased and came to his knees and ripped them off of her.

“You’re so beautiful Alley,” he said getting serious
again as his hands explored her hips and waist. He came to her mouth, and
kissed her as his hands continued to wander around her body.

“Go down on me Trevas,” she whispered as her hips
twisted into him begging for more.

“Will you stop telling me what to do? Sometimes I like
to be in control and just do things without you telling me to,” he argued, with
her and she laughed.

“I can’t help it,” she said and ran her own fingers
between her legs, and around her sensitive place. “I need it right now and
sometimes you are too damn slow in giving it to me.”

“Keep doing that baby,” he said watching her please
herself, with lustful eyes.

She did and when she started to moan and thrash her
hips he moved her hand and came in with his mouth, causing her to moan louder
and call out his name.  Alley was spent within seconds, and trying to remind
herself that she had to breathe.

Trevas came to her and locked the bends of her knees
with the bends of his arms and brought her legs up with him. He entered her and
thought he was going to last seconds himself, and she didn’t help matters by
her lustful moans and language.

“Awe fuck Trevas,” she moaned and twisted her hips
beneath him, matching his rhythm. Trevas was right, and he lasted about as long
as she did, and thrust deep into her holding himself there and she squirmed
beneath him.

“Don’t stop,” she demanded, being right there with him
but not quite there yet. He thrust into her three more times, and she let go
too.

Trevas got them a bowl of ice cream, and they lay in
bed and watched the red carpet event on her laptop.

“Trevas I just thought of something,” Alley said,
closing the laptop, not wanting to watch anymore videos of her.”

“What?” he asked.

“I only have one pill left for in the morning, and the
new pack was in my bathroom medicine cabinet. We’re going to have to find a
store and buy some condoms.”

“Are you telling me, you don’t want to have my baby?”
he said very seriously.

“Fuck, no I don’t want to have your baby or anyone
else’s,” She scolded.

Trevas laughed and leaned in and kissed her. “I got
the pack of pills, relax.”

“Sheew, don’t fucking do that. You scared the hell out
of me.”

“Do you ever want kids,” he asked, and she snuggled
her naked body up to his naked body, and they lay down.

“Maybe, I don’t know yet. Do you?”

“I guess, I don’t know yet either. I kind of like it
just being the two of us.”

“Me too, I would probably be a terrible mom.”

“You would definitely have to learn a new vocabulary.”

“You’re right, maybe I don’t want kids.”

“Let’s have this conversation again in about five
years.”

“Deal,” she replied and snuggled closer in his arms.

“Why haven’t you asked me to marry you Trevas?” Alley
asked nestled to his chest.

He kissed the top of her head and squeezed her
tighter. “Because you are only eighteen, you’re too young to get married. Go to
sleep,” he said, and then smiled loving her more than anything.

 

 

Trevas and Alley spent the entire week with each
other. They climbed on the rocks, went for long walks, made love countless
times, relaxed in the hot tub, and they both did lounge around the house naked
the entire week.

Alley felt like her heart couldn’t be fuller, and she
was so happy as they drove back to LA. They were only planning on staying at
her mom’s for three days and then were heading to Utah for another couple of
weeks.

 

 

                   *****

Peyton spent the entire week with
Kevin and she loved being in his house and cooking for him and being there when
he got home from work. They too spent countless hours in bed, making love and
enjoying each other. She was finally able to say I love you to him, and loved
saying it, and was afraid that he was going to get tired of hearing it.

The contractors were working on the school and getting
it ready for the states inspection. Peyton helped with decorating the rooms,
and had to argue with Kevin to purchase fun colors for the windows and bedding
rather than the dull blue ones that he wanted to get.

 

Trevas and Alley arrived in Utah the following
Wednesday and Alley was excited to see her mom. They went to Kevin’s house and
she made them supper, and it was divine. Kay and Don came over as well, and the
guys all talked about the school.

Alley was interrupted by her phone and answered her
dads call.

“Hey dad.”

“Hey Alley girl, guess how much the movie has made in
box office the past week.”

“I have no clue.”

“$174,999,005 dollars.”

“Million?” she asked shocked.

“Yes my little Alley, Million.”

“Wait that’s kind of bull shit, I only got paid three
hundred thousand.”

Fletcher laughed. “That is a very good pay check for a
first movie. Ask your mother how much she made on her first movie. And what are
you going to do with three hundred thousand dollars? That is a hell of a lot of
money.”

“Not compared to almost a hundred and seventy five
million, and I am going to build a house with it by the lake here in Utah.”

Trevas kissed the top of her head as he took her empty
plate and his to the sink. “No you’re not,” he demanded, and she gave him a
dirty look. They had argued about it for almost nine hours of their long drive there.

“How much as “Bitten’ made?” she wanted to know.

“They have passed us by about three hundred thousand,
but you have to keep in mind that movie can’t even be categorized with yours.
It is a PG 13 movie, so they are going to get more of an audience than your
rated R movie.”

“Yeah I guess that’s true. Where are you?”

“I am in Vermont for a few weeks filming. You should
come here sometime. It’s beautiful.”

 

Trevas and Alley argued again about the house on the
ride to the cabin.

“Trevas, why won’t you let me help with the house? Are
you planning on living there with someone besides me?”

“Not a chance and I have money Alley. I did get a
paycheck from all of this running around too, you know.”

“It’s not like it’s going to take all of the money.  I
thought we agreed on a simple ranch home.”

“That we did agree on.”

“You drive me crazy.”

“You drive me crazy.”

“I am going to build my own house on the other side of
the lake.”

Trevas laughed at her. “Can I come over?”

“Hell no.”

Trevas and Alley stayed up late looking at house plans
on line, and they did agree on a floor plan that they were both excited about.
Trevas was going to get the land surveyed and start contacting contractors the
following week.

They did agree on the ranch style with a basement with
a deck along the entire front side of the house, overlooking the four acre
lake. He had to buy his sister out of her half of the property because it was
given to both of them from their grandparents, which he was not planning to
tell Alley about, not that she cared, she had already decided to stop arguing
about it with him, and was going to wait until it was done, walk in the bank
and pay it off anyway.

They had also planned on eventually remolding the
cabin and building a normal bathroom and a bedroom so that his sister or her
dad could come and visit and have a private place to stay.

Epilogue

 

 

 

 

It had been almost a year, and the house was nearly
finished. Trevas and Alley spent hours picking out furniture and décor for
their new home. The master bedroom had two walk in closets and the window went
from the ceiling to the floor. The master bath with a jet tub was big enough
for both of them and had a walk in shower also big enough for both of them. The
kitchen was Trevas’s pride and joy, and he couldn’t wait to cook in it. The
living area was open to the kitchen and dining room, and there were two more
bedrooms on the opposite side of the house. The deck ran the whole length of
the house, and they planned on putting a hot tub out there so that they could
sit out at night over the lake.

Finally, the day came that the house was complete, and
the furniture was being brought in. Alley had never been so excited in her life
and Peyton, and Kay were just as excited. They helped her the entire weekend
putting away their very own new dishes, towels, hanging pictures and curtains
and helping her make it home for her.

Kevin and Don helped with rearranging furniture and
carrying in the heavy stuff.

Trevas grilled out on their new deck and fed everyone
cheeseburgers from his new smoker grill. Peyton and Kay made the side dishes,
and everyone finally left them to spend their first night together in their new
home around nine.

Peyton and Kay hugged her and told her how happy they
were for her, and Peyton was so glad that they had decided to let her see
Trevas when they did. She couldn’t imagine Alley without him now, and they
truly were good for each other. Not to mention had it not been for Trevas, she
wouldn’t have Kay or Kevin and they were two people that she adored very much.

Alley answered her cellphone at nine o’clock at night
and wasn’t so sarcastically happy about the new cellphone tower that now
allowed them to be bothered more. She said hello when she saw that it was
Stella Gains, her agent from the ‘Handbook’ movie.

“Alley, how are you?” Stella asked.

“I am good,” she answered skeptical.

“You are probably wondering why I am calling you.”

“Yeah, sort of,” she answered, and walked into their
bedroom and sat on the bed while Trevas messed around in his new kitchen.

“I was hoping to talk you into another movie. Don’t
say a word until you hear me out. The director Rodney Springs has specifically
asked for you. It’s called ‘Georgia Crush’ have you heard of it?”

“Yeah, I’ve read the book, and it’s awesome, but the
book is with two girls.”

“And so would the movie be. He wants you and Hailey
Arlington to play the lead roles.”

“Wow. Really? She’s amazing, doesn’t she have
something else coming out soon?”

“Yes but she is in the process of promoting it right
now, so that will wrap up rather quickly.”

“You’re her agent too aren’t you?”

“Yes I am, and I think you and her would be awesome in
this Alley. You don’t have to answer right yet I will call you back in a few
days, and give you time to think about it, but I will tell you this is going to
happen pretty quickly and not months from now.

“How long?”

“Three months, think about it, and I will talk to you
in a few days.”

“Okay,” she answered with a sigh and hung up.

“Fuck,” she said out loud and looked up to see Trevas
standing in the doorway leaned against the threshold with his arms crossed.

“You heard, didn’t you?”

“Yeah,” he answered almost sadly, hoping she didn’t
want to do this, but he could tell that she did.

“It’s a really, really good book, and Hailey Arlington
would be perfect for it.”

“What about you Alley. Would you be perfect for it?”
he asked, coming to her and sitting beside of her.

She lay back on the bed and rubbed her hands over her
face. “I don’t know Trevas, I almost want to.”

Trevas patted her on the leg and knew that she was
going to do this. “I can’t be with you this time Alley.”

“I know,” she said sitting up. She knew that he had to
work at the home now, and the first five boys were scheduled to arrive in a
week.

He kissed the top of her head. “I’m going to grab a
shower, you don’t have to make any decisions tonight,” he added, leaving her
alone on the bed with her thoughts.

Trevas never mentioned the movie and Alley didn’t
mention it to either of her parents.

They were sitting on their deck a few days later,
drinking a beer and eating steak when her phone rang, and it was Stella again.

Trevas stood and leaned against the banister to listen
and watch her.

“Do you want to do this Alley?” Stella asked, cutting
right to the chase.

“Yeah, I do,” she answered, and Trevas dropped his
head and closed his eyes.

Trevas hated the thought of her doing this again, and
he hated the thought of not being with her even more, and not so much that he
would miss her. He would miss her of course, but he knew he would worry himself
sick over her, knowing how trouble seemed to hunt her down like prey. He
couldn’t tell her that she couldn’t do it, and had no choice but to let her go.
He would try to be with her as much as he could and pray every night that she
never wanted to do it again.

Fletcher flew in the following weekend because she
told him that she needed to talk to him and wanted to talk to him in person. He
just knew she was going to tell him that he was going to be a grandpa, but
thought that he was okay with it. He knew now that Trevas was in for life, and
trusted him probably more than he had ever trusted anyone with her.

Trevas cooked out again, and Peyton, Kevin, Kay and
Don all came too. Neither Peyton nor Fletcher could take it a second longer.
She was trying to wait until after their meal and have just her parents go for
a walk with her, but neither of them could wait a second longer to find out for
sure if they were going to be grandparents.

“Will you just tell us already Alley,” her mother
asked.

Alley looked over to Trevas, and he smiled a warm
smile at her and Peyton could tell that this was not a happy smile, and
wondered even more what was going on.

“Stella Gaines called me a few days ago and I am going
to do another movie,” she spit it out.

Both of her parents looked utterly shocked and
Peyton’s mouth was stuck open.

“Say something,” she said, after neither of them spoke
for several moments.

“I don’t know what to say,” Peyton replied.

“I am ecstatic,” Fletcher said and Peyton watched
Trevas get up and walk into the house. She could tell that this was not good
news for him.

“What is it? Who’s directing? When do you start
filming? Where are you filming?” Fletcher spat out the questions one right
after another.

“It’s called ‘Georgia Crush’ and Rodney Spring is
directing it. I don’t know where it is going to be filmed yet, but in the book
they are in Georgia.”

“Rodney Spring? Yes… Alley! You do know that you can
demand a lot, and I mean a lot more money this time, don’t you?”

“I don’t care about the money, but I would really like
to work with him and Hailey Arlington.”

“Hailey Arlington too?” Fletcher asked, even more
excited.

“Yeah, he contacted Stella because she is also
Hailey’s agent and told her, he wanted both of us.”

“What’s it about?” He wanted to know, and Peyton
answered him, she too had read the book.

“It’s going to be a lot of sex, drugs and rock and roll.
These two girls grow up best friends in a trailer park and are outcasts at
school. Both their parents are divorced and are alcoholics and drug addicts.
They plan on getting out of their situations as soon as they turn eighteen and
venture to LA where they plan on becoming dancers in clubs only it doesn’t work
out the way they planned. They end up leaving there in the middle of the night
when some pimp tries to lure them into doing tricks.

They do a lot of controversial things to get to where
they are going and endure the worse ride of their lives. They leave LA and head
to New York City, but never make it there because they meet a lady in a small
town restaurant who also runs a halfway house, and helps them to see what they
are doing and helps them both get into community college. It was a really good
book and was on the best sellers list for months.”

Alley could tell that her mom wasn’t as excited about
her new adventure as her dad was.

Peyton had just finished up with her movie, the
premier events and interviews were finally over, and she had no desire to jump
into another one. She loved spending time at the home with her friends and the
love of her life, and she was skeptical about what this was going to do to
Trevas and Alley, especially if he wasn’t with her.

Fletcher couldn’t stay long, and for some reason he
had to get back to his hotel, and they all knew, he had either picked up a lady
friend here in Utah or he had brought one with him.

Alley and Peyton took a walk around the lake and
talked. Peyton was very quiet at first, and Alley had to speak first.

“You think this is a bad ideal, don’t you mom?”

Peyton smiled a warm smile at her. “What does Trevas
think of it?” she asked, rather than answering the question.

“He hasn’t said anything, but I know he doesn’t like
it.”

“Why do you want to do this Alley, it just shocks me.
I thought this was what you wanted, right here with Trevas,” she asked, looking
up to her new home.

“It is mom, and I don’t know why I want to do it. The
thought of working with Rodney Spring is like, so over whelming, I can’t even
imagine. Even the thought of working side by side with Hailey Arlington makes
me all jittery and nervous. Does that even make sense?”

Peyton put her arm around her. “I am afraid it makes
perfect sense to me, and I am afraid that it is in your blood. You are so
scared and excited about it that you feel like you have no choice but to push
your limits and go for it.”

“Yeah totally,” Alley replied, listening to her mother
describe exactly how she was feeling.

“Alley, you can get trapped in all of this, and this
is not going to be the same as it was when your dad was directing you. I just
want you to go into this with your eyes opened, and know what you are getting
yourself into, be cautious of what you are doing and your actions.”

“I don’t even know what that means mom.”

“And I can’t even begin to explain it, but you will
know what I am talking about.”

 

“Let’s get in the hot tub,” Alley told Trevas just
after dark and they were once again alone.

Alley moved to in between his legs and leaned against
his chest, and he embraced her. They sat quietly looking out to the lake for a
long time, and Alley finally spoke.

“Trevas?”

“What Alley?”

“If you tell me to choose, I am going to choose you.”

“Do you want me to give you an ultimatum?”

“I don’t know, maybe.”

“Well I am not, and I would never make you choose
between doing another movie or me.”

“I’m afraid of what it will do to us,” she confessed.

“I am afraid of that too.”

“You are?” she asked, turning to him, and felt a
little more fear about it now.

“Yes Alley. Don’t forget that I followed the actors
around, I know what goes on after hours and after parties, and all the drinking
and sex that goes on.”

“Are you worried that I would cheat on you Trevas?”

“I worry that you are young and can very easily get
caught up in the moment.”

“I would never cheat on you Trevas,” she promised, and
he only kissed her without a reply.

He knew she wouldn’t cheat on him right here in Utah with
him, but like he said he had seen it first hand, and it did worry him. He
wished that he could just tell her no, and he didn’t want her to do this, but
he also knew that he couldn’t do that and would never make her choose.

“I have to go to LA next week to meet everyone and go
over the contract,” she told him, leaning back against his chest.

“I know. I heard you on the phone.”

“You’re not going to go with me are you?”

“I can’t Alley. I have to be at the home.”

“I will only be gone a few days, and then I will be
back here with you. We don’t start shooting until September.”

Trevas didn’t reply, for the simple fact that it was a
lie. He knew they would have her flying all over the place for photo shoots,
and every other promotion they could, to get her face out there and create all
the hype. They were ruthless, and didn’t care who it hurt in the process.

                        

  *****

 

Trevas held onto Alley for as long as he could as he
waited for her plane to board. They had not spent one night away from each
other in over two years, and he wasn’t looking forward to her not being with
him and in his bed.

She looked up and kissed him when her plane started to
board.

“Call me when you get there,” he said and kissed her
again. “I love you Alley.”

“I will, and I love you too Trevas.”

 

 

The
end
