“Hell no. Any more energy from you and I’d never been able to leave the bed. I just think it’d be funny to check out.”

I took Panther’s hands in mine and pulled him to me. “Did you have fun tonight?”

His mouth kicked up at the sides, and when he lowered his head to brush his lips over mine, my cock throbbed. “More fun than I ever imagined possible. Thank you again. This Christmas is going to be pretty tough to beat next year.”

I wound my arms around his neck and parted my lips for him to taste, and when his tongue slipped inside, I groaned. “You know me, always up for a challenge.”

“Hmm, more like always up.” Panther thrust his hips against mine, and what do you know, I wasn’t the only flyboy here who was enjoying the moment.

“I can’t deny it. You put your hands, mouth, or body anywhere close to mine, and what can I say, the response is automatic.”

One of the hands under discussion moved down to my ass and pulled me even closer. “Something I will never complain about. So how about I take you back to the hotel and thank you properly?”

“Properly but not…proper, right?”

Panther kissed his way up my jaw to my ear and whispered, “I promise, nothing I plan to do to you when I get you in our room will be proper.”

I was about to tell him that was more than okay with me when I heard—

“Grant? Mateo? Oh, thank God, I thought I missed you guys.”

We pulled apart to see Paige running our way, and I was impressed that anyone could run around the way she did in those thigh-high boots—the heels were insane.

“Sooo, how was it, how was it? Was Ace on his best behavior? Or perhaps his worst? Whatever floats your boat,” she said, then added a sassy wink.

Panther moved to stand beside me and smiled. “He was fantastic. He’s so easygoing.”

“He really is, isn’t he? Unless you side-eye or badmouth his Daydream, that is. Then he’ll go total Hulk on your ass.” She paused, seemed to think over her words, and then added, “Well, not your actual ass—but you get the point.”

“We do, and seriously, this has been the best prize—and night—either of us have ever had.”

A bright smile lit her beautiful face. “Now that makes me happy, and the fact that I can be happy after almost short-circuiting half of L.A. is saying something.”

“Hey, you won’t hear us complaining. We got to hear Trent Knox sing a Queen song. That was some kickass bonus material right there.”

Paige nodded and let out a sigh. “You’re right about that. He sure did save the night. Well, your limo is waiting for you where it dropped you earlier, and if you have any other questions about tonight—or want to write a glowing review on how awesome I was—you can find my website here on my card.”

She took a business card from her clipboard and handed it to Panther.

“It was a pleasure meeting you two. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go and down every leftover drink at the bar before crawling into bed and passing out for two weeks straight.”

“Thanks again, Paige. We’ll never forget this.” I watched as she turned and headed back inside the venue, then I took Panther’s hand in mine and grinned. “Ready to head out?”

“You bet. I have someone to thank over and over again.”

TATE

“GO ON, YOU can say it…”

“I’m sorry.” Logan gestured to his ear as the crowd began to disperse. “Can you speak up a little? I think I might be deaf.”

I took his hand as we moved with the rest of the people leaving the VIP area. “You had a good time. Admit it.”

Logan glanced at me out of the corner of his eye and shrugged. “I mean, it wasn’t bad.”

“Bullshit. You had a great time. I wish it was more because you were there with me than checking out the blond on stage, but…”

“You know better than that.”

“Do I?” I did, of course. Logan wouldn’t look twice at another man. Hell, he’d even spent fifteen thousand dollars to rent out JULIEN back in Chicago for a private dinner with me. But it was too much fun playing with him this way. “You were looking at him pretty hard.”

“He was the lead singer.”

“Of a band. Or did you miss the other people on stage with him?”

Logan looked at me as though I’d lost my mind.

“Are you really trying to tell me you’re upset I was watching the band?”

“Watching them? No. But I thought you might cry when Viper proposed to Halo.”

When Logan realized I was kidding, his eyes narrowed on me.

“If it’ll make you feel better, I could dye my hair blond when we get back to Chicago.”

“Don’t you fucking dare.”

“No?”

“Not if you want to sleep in my bed at night.”
