Van walked over to greet him first and Remy’s smile turned from shy to big and bold. The guy would look great on album covers, no question. Brodie wasn’t far behind his husband, taking hold of Van’s hand and offering his other to Remy.

“Meet the rest of the guys, Ronin, Holls, and Faise. And our manager, Jesse.”

“Remy Harnett, it’s an honor to meet y’all.” He nodded and shook our hands in turn.

His callused grip told me he was not holding that guitar for show.

“So, you’re gonna open for us while we’re in Florida?” Holloway asked.

“It’ll be my pleasure. I just finished a gig in Tallahassee last night and drove straight down. Can’t say no to an invite from Wayward Lane.”

Jesse stepped forward and offered his hand. “Jesse Aimes, nice to meet you. First, we’ll get your badge set up with our security crew and then you and I need to talk about the schedule.”

“Course,” Remy nodded. “Lead the way.”

“Meet up with us in the VIP room after the show?” Brodie offered. “We can have a drink and talk shop.”

“I’d love that. See y’all later.”

Jesse motioned to the wings, and Remy followed.

“Guys! Five minutes!” Ace yelled out.

I finished the rest of my water and turned to Faise, who was smiling at me. “What?”

“You weren’t really jealous, were you?”

I pulled him in tight and kissed his lips, tasting salt and sweat. “And what if I was?”

He punched his hips forward as his hands reached for my ass. “You’re so ridiculous. You know you’re the only man I see.”

“I don’t know, you looked pretty hard at that picture.”

“I got hard, right here.” He rubbed his body against mine. “And it’s all for you.”

I was about to lean forward and kiss him again when a towel was thrown at me.

“This is time to cool down, not heat up,” Ace snickered.

I ignored our engineer and his joke.

“My bunk,” I whispered. “As soon as the show’s over.”

“But what about Remy?”

“He can wait.”

Faise squeezed my ass and let go. I was revved up and ready to perform.

For the concert, too.

After we closed the show, an hour later, we took our final bows.

Bibi then had us sign merch orders for the meet and greet. I finished mine in record time and decided to head to the tour bus first.

Lennie walked me over and stayed outside while I hopped on the bus, showered, and changed. I was hoping for a quickie with Faise before we headed to meet up with Remy and the guys.

Walking through the living area, I spotted my journal on the table and picked it up.
