Chapter 13

As usual Diego and the rest of the Ratz put on a hell of a show. Damian tried not to fixate on Bethany’s refusal to get onstage and her initial reason for not wanting to get up being Simon’s finding out. She’d backpedaled fast enough, and in the end her explanation had made sense, but he’d had a hard time pushing back the thought that maybe she hadn’t wanted Simon to find out she was here with Damian for other reasons. There was no question that everything else she’d said to him since, about not ever having felt this way with anyone else, was without a doubt true. The honesty in her eyes practically spoke to him.

For that reason, and because he had no reason to think she’d lie to him about her relationship with Simon, he had to trust her on this. He reminded himself that what he was feeling was because of what he’d picked up from Simon, not Bethany. The guy obviously had a thing for her, and who could blame him? Damian would have to get a grip when it came to Simon and just trust her, especially because she worked with the dude, and there was no way around her spending time with him.

“So this must be serious,” Diego said, plopping down on the empty bar stool next to Damian, holding a beer. “I heard you took Bethany to meet Mace and gave her a tour of the shop.”

Damian shook his head, motioning to the bartender to get him and Bethany another round. “God, those two are like twelve-year-old girls. Which one called you?”

“Actually,” Diego grinned before taking a sip of his beer, “it was Delfi who called, and boy was she hot. She wanted to know if you’d brought your girlfriend to meet me, too, before bringing Bethany to meet her.”

Damian frowned just as the bartender set his and Bethany’s fresh drinks down on the counter. “What is it with her anyway?” He reached for his drink, leaving the bartender a tip. “She called me the very next day asking how come she was the last to know, then grilled me for about twenty minutes. It’s not like I’ve been with Bethany very long.”

“But it is serious, obviously?” Diego eyed him for a real answer this time.

For once he decided to just admit it out loud. He
