I went to get ready for the night, and after trimming my facial hair, I jumped in the shower. I thought about Kami and me in there the night before, and my dick hardened. I ignored it, knowing later that night it would get some attention. I loved the slow build and knew the payoff would be amazing.

As I dressed, I got a call from Kami. “Hey, sexy. I got off a bit early, so I’ll be ready for you in about twenty minutes.”

“Good, because I miss you.” I meant it too. I’d thought about her all day. I grabbed my keys.

“Maybe you can show me how much you miss me when you get here,” she purred.

“I’d love to, but won’t that make us late for the show?” I asked.

“Not like I haven’t seen them a million and one times already,” she said.

“Rain is excited about us being there.” The girl practically begged us to come and when we’d said yes, she’d jumped up and down cheering. As much as

I would rather spend the evening fucking Kami senseless, I wanted to be supportive of her friend.

“I like that you’re trying to be thoughtful to my best friend. She really likes you, you know.”

“I can’t blame her. Now get that sweet ass ready. Maybe if we get there early, we can leave early,” I said.

“Oh, I like the way you think. I’ll be ready when you get here.”

We ended the call, and I tossed my phone in the seat and heard a ping. Shit. The sound was distinct to the dating site. Surely Kami would know what it sounded like. There was no way to turn it off now. I needed to be back at my house to do that. I breathed a curse under my breath and decided once I arrived, I’d turn off my phone or leave it in the jeep. No big deal.

CHAPTER NINETEEN – KAMI

Tate showed up to get me and met me with a kiss. He held my face a moment after he’d pulled away and stared into my eyes. “I’ve missed you so much. It’s hard being away from you for even a day.” I felt the same, but hearing him admit it made my heart soar.

“I know what you mean. It’s getting tough spending the night alone in bed.” It had been our tradition of late to talk just before bed, and we’d even fallen asleep on the phone with one another like two damn teenagers.

“Yeah, you should really spend the night more often.” He met my eyes and raised a brow. “How would you feel about spending every night with me? And waking up every morning in our bed?”

The question caught me off-guard, and my breath hitched as I was unsure how to react. “Tate.” It was all I could say and my eyes filled up with tears.

“I’m not trying to push your or upset you—” he started before I cut him off.

“No, it’s not that at all Tate. It’s just that, well, I’m falling for you,” I finally admitted.

A bright grin split his handsome face and he cupped by face in his large hands. “I’m falling for you too, Kami. I love you. I didn’t want to jump into anything until I knew the time was right to tell you, but I can’t wait anymore.”

“I’ll talk with Aunt Helen and Rain tomorrow. I know they’ll understand. No one ever expected me to hang around forever, I’m sure. And it’s about time I get out in the world.”

“Well, you don’t have to do it alone. I want to take care of you, Kami.”

I let out a sigh. “I want us to take care of each other. I will still work, and I’ll contribute.”

“We’ll talk about that later in bed, where I have a better shot at convincing you to let me do for you.” He wagged his brows.

I fell into him and rose up on my toes to kiss him deeply, his tongue mingling softly with mine. It made my knees weak, and I felt the faint flush of blood from my face as the heat blossomed between my legs. “You’re going to make me want to skip the show again.”

“Then we better get going.” He took my hand and led me out.

His phone was in my seat, and I moved it out of the way. “Here, you better put this in your pocket.” He always carried his phone in his pocket, and he frowned and turned it on and then quickly put it away.

“It’s been acting up. I think I’ll turn it off and reboot it later.” He gave me a smile and started us on the road.

The club was so packed that it was hard to weave through the crowd, but we managed to do it and found a table near the front to sit at.

A waitress came up and leaned her big breasts over into Tate’s face. “You want a beer?”
