I laughed and kissed the top of his head.

“Lemme see your abs. Sweaty abs are hot abs,” he said.

“Abs?” I snorted. “You mean the ones buried under a layer of pizza and August’s cooking?”

“Hey, don’t go blamin’ me, boy.” August closed the distance and gave me a firm kiss. “You were amazing up there. Incredible. Out of this world.”

“Thanks.” I smiled and stole another kiss. Then I had to—Christ. “Ragazzo, I swear. Stop tugging on my shirt.” I pushed it down again.

He snickered and snuck close to hug me again. “Fine. I’ll wait till we get home.”

Home. That sounded nice. Too nice.

“Speaking of.” August squeezed my hand. “What’re your plans now? Y’all headin’ out or…? I don’t know how you rock stars come down after a show.”

I chuckled. I could guarantee his life had been a lot more rock ’n’ roll than mine.

“No plans,” I replied. “I think the others talked about having a drink back at the hotel, but I’m coming back to the ranch as soon as we’ve loaded the bus.”

The relief that flashed in his eyes did things to me. “I’m not even going to feel bad for takin’ up all your time. We’ll prepare some snacks while we wait for you.”

“And I’m gonna put your CD on the shelf!” Camden announced. “We bought two. Daddy wants one in his truck.”

Fuck, my cheeks hurt from smiling. “When you know the band, you get those for free. You know that, right?”

He shrugged. “That’s not how you support musicians. But I will demand you sign it.”

I’d sign whatever he wanted. I lifted his chin and dipped down, kissing him languidly. “Consider it done. I can walk you guys out. I gotta pick up the rest of the demos at the merch place anyway.” With a bit of luck, the ones we’d sold would hopefully cover dinner or a tank of gas.

“If you haven’t sold out.” August’s forehead creased. “Camden and I snuck away halfway into the show when we noticed the crowd had tripled in size. I worried we’d be too late, but there were a few left. Not many, though. Maybe a dozen or so. Then we hurried back.”

That was surreal, if true.

“A million people saw you!” Camden beamed up at me.

I grinned at his cute exaggeration. “You’re so adorable that I could fucking eat you.” I cupped his cheeks and started nibbling on his nose.

He laughed and pushed at me. “Stop it! I’m struggling not to sink into my Little mode as it is.”
