“I could never.” I head over, climbing into his lap.
Fitz nuzzles his cheek to mine, running his hand over the back of my head.
I give him a quick kiss, which he deepens the same way Ramsey did. “I’ll miss you, but I do think Warrick needs me tonight.”
“I get it,” he assures me, but he marks my other cheek like an alpha stating their claim.
I climb out of his lap and head for the bathroom in the room I stayed in last night. I technically don’t know which of us it belongs to. I use the restroom and grab supplies in case I need them in the middle of the night before heading back to Warrick’s room.
He’s shirtless, lounging with the covers pulled back. My eyes are greedy for every inch of muscular skin on display. I finally pry my eyes away, aiming for the bathroom. I drop off my stuff and make it to the side of the bed.
“Is that my side?” I nod.
“Unless you’d like to sleep directly on my chest, which I’m not opposed to.” He chuckles, patting the bed.
I scramble onto the mattress and try to climb over Warrick, since I need to get to my side. He pulls me down directly on top of him and leans up, giving me a soft kiss before helping me slide onto the bed.
I lie on his arm and he starts to purr.
“Good night, sweet girl.” His huge hand spans from my hip to my lower back, and he uses it to pull me even closer.
“You too.” My knees dig into his thigh, so I toss my top leg over his pelvis. His scratchy fingers run over my back, and it’s soothing, but not as much as that ragged purr. I could get addicted to this.
He’s got a smattering of dark hair on his chest, and my fingers seem to be drawn to it. My cramps are a little better with the meds, but the fact my period startedagainis kind of killing me. It could really bring me down if I let it, so I do everything I can to focus on the good.
Warrick, Ramsey, and Fitz are more than I ever dreamed possible. It’s a little stressful to think about what happens when this tour is over. If I focus on the bad and all the what-ifs, then I could drown in them. I exhale heavily, snuggling farther into Warrick, and pray for sleep.

We have an extra day to chill in the hotel, and on Saturday, we head to the venue to check it out. The guys will be performing tonight, and we’ll be back on the bus after.
“What’s that frown about?” Fitz tosses an arm around my shoulders as we head into their practice.
“I got lazy and used to being in one place.” The words pop out before I can stop them.
“You’re a sweet little omega, and I never should have pressured you into coming with me,” Fitz says with a heavy sigh.
My hand smacks against his stomach. “Don’t even try me right now, Mr. Fitzpatrick. I love that you want to protect me, but I’m dealing with the stress, and itisworth it.”
He tilts his head, studying me, and then he shoves his mouth to mine. The kiss is quick and playful, but we both tense when a voice breaks the silence.
“Fitz,” a member of the press calls out. “Is that the tour photographer? Are the two of you romantically involved?”
“Did they get it wrong?” another asks. “Was War shopping with you foryourgirlfriend?”
I have no idea what they’re talking about, but I want no part of being in the press’s line of sight. I prefer to be on the other side of the camera, thank you very much.
Fitz grunts, ushering me inside the building. Once the doors close behind us, he curses under his breath.
“Do you know what they meant?” I ask.
“Not exactly, but they painted a picture, didn’t they?” His head shakes. “I’ll ask Gavin to look into it.”
“Okay,” I agree, giving him a reassuring smile. He’s been anxious lately, but I really don’t want him to regret bringing me along. Without this trip, I never would’ve met Ramsey and Warrick.

I promise myself I won’t internet search Northern Star, but that fails about five minutes into their practice. It’s clear the paparazzi got pictures of Warrick and Fitz when they were leaving the pharmacy. Although, I’m extremely thankful the report only mentions they were shopping for someoneunder the weather.
