“You’re not telling us something,” Zane said as I slapped River’s hand.

I gave Zane my best innocent look.

“Yeah, the doe eyes don’t work on me, Angel Face.” His lip twitched in a ghost of a smile.

“I don’t want to say this a million times.” I yanked on his arm, trying to move him along. He didn’t budge. The twins were only two inches taller but outweighed me by forty pounds. I couldn’t make either of them move if they didn’t want to. “I’ll tell you everything inside.”

He gave me a long look, then nodded.

All the other dancers were already in the club in their workout gear.

“You’re not late.” Kai ruffled my hair as I walked past him.

I swatted his hand away. “Crazy, huh?”

“How about we get started now that everyone is here,” Knox said.

“Nick has a boyfriend.”

Every head in the room swiveled toward me.

“Dude!” I spun on Zane. “You have zero chill. Zero.”

“What?” He blinked, all innocent.

“Boyfriend?” Gray asked, the hurt in his eyes and the rest of his face as clear as day.

“Yeah.” I hurried over to him and perched on his lap. He stiffened but didn’t make a move to push me off. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”

He shrugged, his eyes still shrouded with hurt. “It’s fine.”

“It’s just…things have been really crazy and I wasn’t sure what this was and…”

He slung his arm over my shoulder and pulled me in for a one-armed hug. “It’s fine. I’m just glad you’re okay. You’ve been so distant and squirrelly lately, I was worried about you.”

“I’m fine. Just getting used to dating someone who’s an adult who adults.”

“Translation?” Kai asked.

“Oh, I know this one.” River put up his hand like we were back in school. “He’s dating someone who has his shit together and has a really important job that he’s good at. Older, definitely hot, and rich as fuck. Am I right?”

“Nailed it.”

He winked. “And I’m gonna add that he’s fire in bed.”

“You know it.” I held up my hand for a phantom high-five.

He did the same and we mimed high-fiving.

“How rich?” Knox asked. “Are we talking millions, or…”

“Yes.” I grinned.

“Damn, Nicky,” Kai complimented. “Good for you.”

“Yeah, you get that bag.” Dash didn’t look up from his phone.

“I hate to be that guy, but maybe we should start rehearsal?” Blaze suggested.
