  123. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Felix rolls his eyes. “Fuck that. I can take him if he comes for you again.”

Dev snorts. “I would fucking love to see a rematch, but without a solid door between us and him this time. Maybe we should skip it again.”

I would. Honestly, at this point, I’m more concerned with completing this than the very real threat Colt holds to my ribs.

But I have something better than the best, and I’m not fucking waiting to give it to Remi.

Moving my acoustic to the cushions, I step behind the curtain to snag a hoodie and grab Colton’s tablet from his bunk. He’s been inside, checking everything over for later, but he’s on his way back when I step off the bus.

“You going inside?” he asks.

“Nope. I have a woman to surprise.” I clap him on the shoulder. “I’ll stay in yelling distance.”

He waits until I drop to the concrete by the back of the bus before disappearing into it.

After sending the video, I use my bent knees to hold the tablet while I video chat Remi.

She answers and shows me a white ceiling before she picks up the phone. Her hair’s in a messy bun, wisps framing her face, and her pouty lips kick up at the corners. “Hey,” she rasps in the voice that melts my heart and wakes up my dick. Fuck, I’m so gone for her. Gone, gone, gone.

“God, I want to see your tits right now.”

She laughs. “One of those calls, I see?”

“Nah, but we can revisit later. Do you have your laptop with you?”

On a sigh, she shifts and holds it up. “It’s like you don’t know me.”

Colton steps off the bus and props next to the door, just watching from a distance. Because for as much shit as he gives Remi, neither of them ever stops.

“I’m sending you a video, but watch it on your computer. I get that sexy face.”

As I text it to her, she goes all skeptical on me. “Are you going to tell me what the video is? Because I don’t find a cryptic Foster nearly as cute as you do.”

“Fucking liar.” I chuckle when she glares. “Fine. The video’s from the guy about the thing.”

She bites down on her lower lip to suppress a smile.

“Tell me when you hit play.”

In the thirty seconds she takes to adjust and pull up the video, my pulse starts racing. Sending her Sage and Miles was risky, but this one has me nervous for an entirely different reason. This is what was already in the works when Chase said to do more, grovel, and build the life I’ve wanted with her.

Depending on her reaction, it could add a tick to all three.
