I bite my bottom lip and say, “You think everything is hot.”
“I think everything you do is hot,” he clarifies.
“Someone please just f**king kill me,” Jet mutters from the front.
Saxon and I both start laughing.
And then we start kissing—which is better than laughter, but only by a tiny bit.
Laughing with him is almost as good.

The scene on the bus is a hilarious one. Ryder is lying on the couch, a blanket pulled up to his neck, while Lexi feeds him soup. Kidd is sitting there, staring at them in disgusted amusement, wearing nothing but a pair of boxer shorts.
Where did he pull that body from?
Saxon looks down at me and sees me checking out his brother.
“He’s g*y,” he grits out, narrowing his eyes on me.
I look back at Kidd, who smirks at me. “Thanks for keeping that a secret bro.”
Saxon looks at his brother. “Oh please, everyone knows now. You officially came out.”
I raise my hand in the air. “I didn’t know. But it does explain a few things.”
Kidd’s lip quirks. “You have the memory of an elephant.”
A few year ago, I asked Kidd if he wanted to take me back to my house and f**k me.
He said no.
Of course I’d remember that, it was the one and only time I’ve been turned down since I was fourteen and asked Derek Samson out.
He was seventeen and said no.
Good times.
“Wait a minute,” I say. “Did you just call me an elephant?”
“Hello to you too Tenielle,” Lexi calls out dryly.
“Hello Ryder and Lexi and anyone else who couldn’t be bothered to come get me from the airport,” I call out, sending my best friend a look.
Lexi rolls her eyes and points to Ryder, who is covering his eyes with his arm and groaning.
Saxon shuffles me further into the bus, and I take a seat on a couch—the one that isn’t infected with Ryder. “Back to the elephant comment.”
Kidd laughs. “I just meant that you have a good memory. And do you really want to talk about that night?”
“What night?” Saxon growls.
All heads suddenly turn my way.
“I have nothing to hide, it’s not like Saxon and I were together,” I say, lifting my chin up.
A jaw ticks in my man’s cheek. “If you tell me you f**ked my girl, you will be going to the show tomorrow with a broken appendage.”
I look down at his crotch.
Kidd cringes. “Calm down, nothing happened.”
And now I know why. He isn’t into women.
“I asked him to come home with me one night, and he said no. It was years ago, might I add.”
I watch as Saxon gets angry.
His face goes a little red and his fists clench and open a few times.
I can feel a man tantrum coming on.
A mantrum, ha!
He lifts me up, throws me over his shoulder, carries me into a small room, and slams the door shut.
Then he locks it.
He lays me down on the bed, then lifts off his shirt.
I gulp.
Chapter Twenty Two
Saxon
I feel pissed over the fact that Tee wanted my brother, even if it was just for one night, but I know that I shouldn’t be angry.
It was a long time ago.
I was probably still pining for Lexi then, but still.
I don’t want her wanting anyone else—past, present, or future.
She makes me f**king crazy.
I have missed her so much these last few weeks. I tried to concentrate on the tour, but she was never far from my mind. I know that if she had been here—the entire tour would have been a million times better. But she’s here now, and I’m going to make the most of it.
I undress myself completely, and stand before her, letting her get her fill. Climbing onto the bed on my knees, I reach for the button of her jeans and undo it. Pulling down the zipper slowly, I take my time removing them, and then her panties.
“Red lace,” I whisper to myself. “Sit up so I can take your top off.”
She sits up and helps me pull her top off, and then her black bra.
Both naked and on an even playing field, I lean over her and stare into her eyes. “I love you.”
Her lips curve. “I love you, too.”
I slide my hand down the side of her breast, then cup it, feeling the weight of it in my hands. My lips find hers and show her just how much I’ve missed her.
Just how much I need her.
Loud music fills the bus, probably so they can’t hear Tee and me. I recognise the song that plays as Nico & Vinz ‘Am I Wrong’.
Two men on this bus are related to her after all.
“Good, now I can be as loud as I want,” she says, rolling me over so I’m on my back.
I smile as her mouth descends on mine.
*****
A knock on the door wakes me up. As carefully as I can, I move Tee over so I can get out of bed. Shoving on a pair of boxer shorts, I walk to the door whilst rubbing my eyes.
“Yeah?” I ask when I come face to face with Lexi.
She smirks. “Is Tee up?”
“Nope. What time is it?” I ask.
“It’s eight. I thought we could go out or something. Come on, I’ve never been to Boston before and neither has Tee. We should be exploring.”
Now it’s my turn to smirk. “You’re just saying that because your man is out of commission.”
She rolls her eyes. “Fine, he’s asleep, and I’m bored.”
