I bite my lip as he continues to shake my hand. I’m sure Lanie and the other guys have noticed our rather lengthy hello. I hope she doesn’t drill me about this later.

Trip slaps Riff on the back. “Later, man.”

Trip and Tyke head off the bus, but Riff doesn’t even flinch or tell them goodbye. It’s like he can’t tear himself away from me.

Lanie clears her throat, and I finally let go of Riff’s hand. “So, um, Aubrey, what do you want to do today?”

Reluctantly I pull my eyes away from Riff and say, “Doesn’t matter.”

“How about we all hang out,” Riff says, not giving Lanie any chance to suggest something for the two of us alone to do.

Heavy boots clomp onto the kitchen floor. Noel’s showered and looking downright sexy in tight jeans and black t-shirt. The material clings to his chest and shows off his body perfectly. Lanie’s the one biting her lip now. I give her a second to ogle him before I grin and elbow her for an introduction.

“What’s going on?” Noel asks as he grabs a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

“Noel this is my friend, Aubrey. The one I was telling you about.”

He gives me a nod and then points his attention to Riff, who hasn’t taken his eyes off me since I set foot on this bus. “You’re going out with these two?”

Riff blinks hard a couple times, like he’s breaking out of trance. “Yeah, I mean, if they’re cool with that.”

Before Lanie can object, I answer, “Absolutely.”

Riff grins at me again and then puts on his sunglasses while he heads for the bus door. “Awesome. Let’s get this show on the road.”

My heart does a double thump as I turn to immediately follow him, only to be halted when Lanie grabs my arm. “What the hell are you doing?”

I shrug and try to play it off like I just met Riff and we don’t already have plans to hump like rabbits. “He’s hot and seems into me. What’s the problem?”

She frowns at me. “Nothing, I guess. Just be cautious. I don’t want to see you get hurt.”

I lean in and kiss her cheek to assure her I’m not going down the same road with Riff as I have in the past. She knows most men have a track record of tearing my heart into pieces. “I’m a big girl, Lanie. I’m just here to have a good time, not get married. I know what I’m doing.”

She throws her arms around my neck and says into my ear, “Of course, have a good time.”

I grin at her—glad she understands and doesn’t judge me before I follow Riff out the door. As soon as he spots me, he pulls away from signing autographs. His Mohawk standing at full attention as a slow smile spreads across his face and he holds out his hand to me.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” he asks as he pulls me toward a black Escalade.

I shrug. “I wanted it to be a surprise.”

He opens the door for me and then yanks me flush against his chest. “Oh it’s a surprise all right, but it’s nothing compared to the one you’re going to get later.”

His lips hover above mine for a few seconds and all I can think about is the feel of his lips on mine again. As he leans in, I hear a female call his name, totally ruining the almost moment we shared.

I pull away and huff, causing Riff to chuckle at my annoyance of his adoring female fans. He helps me into the middle row of the SUV with a hand on my ass and follows behind me.

Once the door is closed and we’re alone inside, I open my mouth to ask him about the ticket, but I never get the chance. He practically attacks me before I even have a chance to settle into my seat. His lips and hands are everywhere. It’s like he’s a starving man and I’m a juicy steak he can’t wait to tear into. Both of his hands settle on my hips before he turns me to face him. My back rests awkwardly against the door, the armrest digging into my neck as he shoves his body against mine. The weight of him is forceful and I don’t have to guess what’s on his mind.

“I’ve never had to wait this long to have a woman,” he says against my lips. “You’ve already got me so fucking hard.”

I pull away and pant. “Just a little longer. I promise.”

I know letting him basically have his way with me in the backseat of a random car isn’t the best way to stand out amongst the bimbos he’s typically with, but it’s hard to resist him.

He cups my cheeks and stares into my eyes for a split second, like he’s drinking me in, before his lips crash into mine. His tongue enters my mouth and slides effortlessly over mine. Riff presses himself into my thigh, allowing me to feel how much he wants me. To know I have so much power over such a sexy beast of a man sends a thrill though me.

A heavy knock on the window causes us both to jump apart. I sigh heavily as I readjust my tank top to cover my stomach back up.

When the hell did he practically expose me?

Riff smirks at me before he winks. “To be continued.”

I sit up as he slides over next to me on the bench seat after he opens the door for Noel and Lanie to crawl into the back seat. He reaches over and scoops my hand into his, threading his fingers through mine before kissing the back of my hand.

Such a sweet gesture from him shocks me a bit. I guess I didn’t expect him to be sort-of caring. I figured our entire time together would be a lot like what we were doing in the SUV. No talking, just getting down to the hot and sexy nakedness he messaged me about.

I study his features. The smile on his face is one of pure contentment and it draws me into him even more. For a split second I wonder what he’s really like behind his bad boy persona. Is it possible that the entire world, including me have him pegged all wrong?
