“Blair had phone sex with Remi last night. They don’t know each other that well,” he says.

“What?” she yells, pulling away from me. “Oh, this bitch.” She pulls her phone out of her pocket and presses it to her ear walking out of the room.

“Way to go you fucking gossip,” I say.

He laughs as he jumps up. “She’s not the boss of everyone. She thinks it’s funny.”

He goes to walk out of the room, and I grab his arm. “Hey.” He looks back and I sigh. “Mom’s doctor left me a voicemail. He said that she lied to us about there being only one new lesion. There’s a couple of them and he said she’s having trouble walking, even with the cane. He’s trying some new meds, but he felt like we should know.”

His smile drops and his eyes fill with sadness. “Did you call for someone to stay with her?”

“I’m gonna do that now. I have the at-home nurse’s number. I’ll make sure she’s there tonight and stays until we get home,” I say.

“What about money?”

“I already transferred more into her account. I’ll tell the nurse to hire a personal shopper to get everything she needs.” I grab his shoulder and squeeze. “It’s gonna be good, brother. I will make sure of it.”

He nods and looks down the hallway. “Yeah.” He glances back toward me and hits my arm. “Can we get drunk now?”

I nod and he walks away. I call the nurse, and thankfully, she agrees to stay with my mom until we are home. She told me she’ll take care of hiring a personal shopper. She promises that she will take care of my mom like her own. Just as I’m ha

nging up, Lorelei walks back in.

I smile and pocket my phone. “All good with Blair?”

She laughs and nods. “Yeah, I was just giving her shit.” She looks at my pocket and back to me. “Who was that?”

If anyone else asked me I would lie, but she deserves to know. “I had to call in a nurse for my mom.”

I explain everything and she holds me when I need it most. I need to feel her close to me and she knows that without even being told. She knows me.

“More shots,” Lane yells.

“No more for me,” Lorelei says.

I stand up and grab her hand. “Dance with me.”

We’ve been at the club for a few hours now. We’re all feeling the effects of the alcohol and having more fun than we have since the Santa Monica Pier. I haven’t been able to keep my hands off Lorelei and she’s been more than happy to allow it. The guys have all been dancing and drinking with different women and I keep laughing. That was me and now it seems like a lifetime ago. All the nameless faceless women were a distraction. It was fun, but it never meant a damn thing. Now, with Lorelei, it’s everything. I ache for her even in my dreams.

“You alright,” she whispers, moving her hands to my hair.

I grin and kiss her plump lips. “I’m great, baby. I’ve got the most beautiful woman in the world in my arms.”

She laughs and my dick hardens. I pull her closer and my hands roam her body. Her laugh disappears as I squeeze her ass and push my cock against her. Her hands move from my hair and down my arms and across my chest.

“You’re so damn perfect, big guy,” she says.

“Big guy?” I question, raising my eyebrow as I grin.

“I call you that in my head,” she says, laughing. “I might be a little drunk.”

“You wanna get out of here? I’ll fuck the drunk right out of you,” I say, winking.

She laughs as she pulls away. “Fuck yes.”

We walk to the table and she grabs her purse.

“We’re gonna head back. You guys good?” I ask them.
