I kiss her cheek loudly. “That’s why I love you.”

Hands grab my hips and I’m about to rip them off when they move up to my waist and a mouth comes down to whisper in my ear.

“Let’s go home. It’s been too long since I fucked you in my bed.”

I turn to face Rogue. “I thought you wouldn’t be back in Aubonne until Sunday?”

“It can wait.” He says, dismissively.

A club remix ofTodo De Tiby Rauw Alejandro comes on and Thayer loses her shit as she shrieks, “This is our song!”

I laugh as I watch her dance her ass off.

“Let me grab my stuff and we can go.” I tell Rogue, trying not to focus on the fact that he’s choosing to come home to me over finishing the business he came to Geneva for.

“I’ll get it.” He says, putting a hand out to stop me. “Finish your drink and dance with Thayer. We can head out in 15?”

I nod. “Sounds good.”

“That was freakishly thoughtful.” Thayer says with an approving hmph once he’s gone.

“I told you. He’s a better person than he pretends to be.”

“I believe you. You wouldn’t like him if he wasn’t.”

She pulls me into the throng of people and we dance to the next three songs, the DJ lining up banger after banger.

I’m sweaty and laughing when I finally emerge and fall into Rogue waiting arms.

“Thanks for waiting.” I say, looking up at him.

He simply wraps my jacket around my shoulders and kisses the top of my head.

As we exit the club onto the sidewalk, I crash into Phoenix as he tries to storm inside. He doesn’t pay me any attention, looking instead above my head at Rogue.

“Where is she?”

“VIP area. Straight ahead to your right.”

“Thanks.” He says, dapping him up and charging inside.

“Wait–” I say, turning to follow after him.

Rogue wraps an arm around me and tugs me in the direction of a waiting limo. “No. Let him go.”

“He’s going to ruin her night.”

“Maybe. Maybe not.” He says with a grin, opening the door and motioning for me to get in first. “This might be the kick up the ass he needs.”

“To do what?” I say, ducking in and sitting on one side of the car.

Rogue gets in and sits across from me. He knocks on the partition and the car starts, merging into the neighboring lane. “To stake his claim.”

I huff at that but I'm distracted by my surroundings. “Is this your limo?”

“The company’s.”

“And they just let you take it?”
