"ARIES STARK MURDERED- AUTOPSY REVEALS POISONING."
Rip Howard looked at the front cover of the brand new, hot off the press edition of 'celebrity skinz'.
"Bullshit." he said to himself, reading over the article as he waited to see Hector Landon, head man in charge here at celebrity skinz and the only man that can make or break a reporter's career with the snap of his fingers. He had done a lot of work in the past for Hector, but all that stopped after he was black listed.
Now Hector had no choice but to accept Rip's deal, Rip was the only one who had the proof that Aries Stark was alive and the only one that knew where he was.
***
Aries had taken Mimi to the bungalows next to the beach she had previously told him about. Her parents had taken her there once when she was younger and she had loved it. She had a desire to go back and since it was so secluded he couldn't think of a better place.
Aries had no idea what the future held for him, he had no idea if Mimi would end up leaving him because of all the lies he told. He was going to tell her the truth, he just needed this one last week with her, he wanted her to continue to love him the way she loved Jack Smith. He needed it just a little bit longer, he was not ready to let go of what they shared or the way she made him feel. Love like this only came once in a lifetime, and he was terrified he would loose her.
***
Rip Howard stormed out of Hector Landon's office furiously. Rip had waited all week for this appointment and after 3 seconds and one look at the pictures, Hector rushed him out of his office, accusing him of wasting his time with fake photos.
Rip was angry, but he was never a quitter, he knew what he had to do. So he bought himself another round trip ticket, he was going back to see Aries and get ALL the proof he needed.

They were spending a glorious week in seclusion, serving only each other, worshiping each other. There wasn't a minute that passed that he was not in some way touching her, exploring her body or kissing it.
She was more relaxed than she had ever felt in her life, her worries didn't seem to matter any more, and she had Jack to thank for that. She never knew love could feel so amazing, and for the 1st time in her life, she understood why her mother had battled the demons she had. But she refused to let those fears control her life any longer. No matter how hard she had tried to fight it, no matter how hard she had resisted, she had fallen completely and totally in love.

"I swear if this child wasn't going to help my career, I would have aborted it immediately!" she said to herself in disgust as she looked at her naked form in her full length mirror. "You are so lucky you are going to make me rich." she said as she ran her hand over her swollen belly.
Her entire life she had suffered from an irrational fear of gaining weight, but she had to deal with it this time. Her visions of her future paved in red carpets and unlimited fame far surpassed any fears she had with weight issues.
Besides, her biggest fear was not achieving that fame, and after she had the baby she would definitely have more than enough money to surgically repair any flaws the baby left on her body.
Hell, she could do what ever she wanted now, she was having Aries stark's love child and there was no one around to prove different. She felt a spiral of satisfaction race through her despite her thickening waist, she was going to finally achieve her dream, she could already see the picture of her and the baby on the front cover of 'celebrity skinz'.

It was so hot she fell asleep in just her bikini bottoms; he sat on the side of the bed facing her, just looking at her and thinking. Reality was really kicking in now and he was becoming more and more worried. He could not imagine his life without her and he refused to ever loose her; he wanted to marry this girl, he wanted babies with her.
He couldn't believe he was actually thinking of this, this time last year he abhorred the thought of marriage; he used triple protection, scared to death of becoming a father. Now it was all he could think of, he wanted to get started with his life now that he had found it and he wanted all this shit to be over.
There were so many things he wanted to do with her, so many places he wanted to take her. He desperately wanted to take her to one of his favorite places in the world, his secluded house by the beach. He used to go there a lot to get away from all the bullshit in his life. He NEVER took anyone with him; it was his own secret spot, his personal hideaway. But he wanted to take her, and for some strange reason he wanted her to love it as much as he did.
He ran his hand down her shoulder, turning her on her back. She stirred a little, still asleep. He bent his head blowing lightly over her breasts, watching her nipples harden before sucking one deep into his mouth. She moaned than opened her eyes, stretching her body, her back arching enough for him to slide his hand underneath, pulling her torso closer to him and her breast deeper into his mouth. His slid his other hand down the front of her bikini bottoms, his fingers sliding between her lips, immediately finding her clit.

Leslie Malone was worried; she had recently broken up with her off and on again fiancée of 3 years, Brad Lowell. They had broken up plenty of times before due to Brads cheating. Usually he came crawling back after a few days, begging her to take him back and promising it would never happen again.
Of course it always did, and frequently.
She loved him with all of her heart, and she knew he honestly couldn't help it. Some where in his life Brad had decided that the only way to make it to the top was to sleep his way there. Not an admirable trait by any means, but Brad was desperate for fame and would do anything to get it.
As it stood he was B listed, he had managed to grab a little bit of fame, but not due to his acting skills. He wasn't half bad as an actor, he was pretty good actually, but that handsome face that he used to get what he wanted was his down fall. He had a very strong resemblance to a very famous celebrity whose acting skills had become legendary due to his spellbinding performances and the way he managed to capture the true essence of the characters he played.
Brad had used his face to get in the door, everyone was taken back by the resemblance and he was instantly offered a film. Unfortunately with a face to match Aries Stark, the crowd expected a performance just as similar and was always left unsatisfied. No matter how much he looked like him, he was NOT Aries Stark.
Leslie loved him regardless, she happened to have a great deal of money on her own from her inheritance, so it did not matter that he was always broke, she took care of him. She was realistic enough to admit that her bank account probably had a part to do with why he had always came crawling back, but deep in her heart she liked to believe it was a little more than just that. She knew deep down in his superficial, self gratifying, conceited little heart, he held a spot for her; and in his own way, he did love her.
So why was he not back yet? She knew he had no money. At first she assumed he was living off that Bitch he was seeing, she had money and fame of her own, but something just didn't seem right. She got no answer when she finally decided to call him.
Now she stood in his apartment looking around, something definitely wasn't right. Brad was a neat freak and never kept his apartment in disarray. The place looked like a pig sty, like it had been ransacked.
Leslie quickly backed out of his apartment, calling the police immediately. Brad would never leave his place like this no matter how much time he spent with his new girl friend. Something had happened; she could feel it in her heart.

Mimi looked down the big cliff to the water below.
"No way." she said stepping back, holding his hand tighter trying to coax him away from the ledge.
"Jump with me."
"You know I don't like heights."
"That's why we're up here, to cure your fear." he pulled her closer, his hand going to her denim covered behind.
"Let's just go fool around on the shore." she smiled kissing his lips lightly. He kissed her back.
"The only shore we're fooling around on is that one." he pointed to the shore down below. "There's only one way to get there."
"Very tricky." she grinned, lord knows she didn't want to, her legs were already shaking just thinking about it, but she REALLY wanted to fool around "fine." she gave up and started to undress. He stripped quickly to his swim shorts, when he turned around he grunted, seeing her in the tiniest peach bikini he had ever seen. The top just covered her nipples. He pulled her close with another grunt.
"Damn girl," he said his voice husky, he pulled the strips of fabric to the side exposing her breasts, she gasped, "look at you." his arm went around her hips his free hand went straight to her breasts, caressing her lightly. He kissed her full lips lightly, than ran his hand through her long silky curls. He pulled back a bit; she stood there slightly breathless as he smiled covering her breasts, than taking her hand. "Are you ready?"
"no." she squeaked looking down at the water that was very, very, very far below her legs turning to jelly.
"Don't look down, look at me." he kissed her lips quickly when she turned to him, "on 3." she nodded.
"one." he said and she tried to take a little step back, he smiled than pulled her closer to him, "two." he held her hand tight, pulling it up to his mouth for a quick kiss. "Three."
She was falling quickly, her stomach up in her lungs, her heart pounding, than half way through she realized, she actually liked it. She pointed her toes to break the surface just like he taught her, than she was engulfed in the warm water. He grabbed her and pulled her to the surface with him, both breathing deeply as they came up.
"I can't believe I jumped!" she laughed in amazement, putting her arms around his neck holding on to him tight, her whole body shaking.
"Did you like it?"
"I loved it!" she laughed, "let's do it again!"
