We sit up and I tap my mouth with my finger. “Haven’t we been having fun?”
He laughs as he stands up. “Baby, you have no idea.”
My stomach swims with butterflies at his words. I have no doubt this man is going to rock every aspect of my world.
“Cotton candy,” I squeal, tugging on Kegan’s hand.
All the guys have baseball hats on and sunglasses, trying to keep them hidden. It’s worked so far and I’m so grateful for it. They’ve been having so much uninterrupted fun. They deserve it after all the shows and late nights.
“Guess we’re getting cotton candy,” he says, letting me lead him to the stand.
The guys laugh as they follow behind. I believe any worries they had have diminished now. We’ve been laughing and acting like fools all day.
“Boss lady, grab me one,” Lane yells, holding out money.
I push his hand away as I order two.
“Take the money,” he says.
“You pay for the next thing,” I say.
Before I can even get my wallet out, Kegan is handing the guy money. I look at him and narrow my eyes. “Like I’m gonna let my girl pay,” he says, pressing a quick kiss to my lips. “Never.”
“You’re sweet, but you don’t need to do that,” I say.
He laughs as he wraps his arm around me. “You have so much to learn.”
“You should see the amount he gives our mom,” Lane whispers.
I turn my head to him, and he smiles. “Really?”
He nods and shoves his hands in his pockets. “Ask him about it.”
My eyes widen as I shake my head. Is he crazy? That’s none of my business at all.
“Ask me what?” Kegan says, handing us our cotton candy.
“Nothing,” I say, pulling a piece off and letting it melt in my mouth.
He looks at Lane, who laughs. “I told her you give mom a lot of money.”
I groan, wanting to hit him with my cotton candy. “It’s none of my business. Drop it.”
We start walking and Kegan wraps his arm around my shoulders. I pull off a piece of cotton candy and hold it out to him. He wraps his lips around my fingers and licks it off. My body reacts immediately and even though I can’t see his eyes, I know they are as heated as mine.
“When Lane and I were kids, we were broke. My mom worked two, sometimes three jobs just to keep us in a shitty apartment and fed.”
“Kegan, stop. You don’t need to explain anything to me,” I say.
“Eat your cotton candy and let me talk.” He grins and continues. “I made a promise that one day I would make enough money to take care of her. Now that I do, I’ve kept good on my word. I don’t want her to have any unnecessary stress, so I pay her bills and give her enough money for her meds, food, and having fun.”
This man has the biggest heart I’ve ever seen. I never would have guessed that at first. H
e keeps it all hidden well. But when you get to know him, you realize that he loves deeply, cares unconditionally, and protects furiously.
“You’re amazing, Kegan. Do you even realize how exceptional you are?”
He laughs and kisses the side of my head. “What do you wanna do next?”
