Chapter Seventeen

“OH, YOU ass!” Jeremy rolled, laughing his ass off at Chris’s stupid fucking story. “No self-respecting dude goes to a bar in a bear suit.”

Chris leaned across the table, finger poking him in the forehead. “Who ever said I dated self-respecting men, Germs?”

“Bitch.”

Chris fluttered and simpered dramatically, making him howl with laughter. Like Chris was a skinny queen. Those abs made him look tiny.

He motioned to the waitress at the hotel coffee shop. “More coffee, please?”

He did love tour breaks.

“You bet, honey.” The waitress popped her gum and winked, leaving them alone.

“So. What’s it like?” Chris asked, lowering his voice.

“The bus? Okay. It was hard to get used to at first, but yeah. I’m glad I took the job.” Real glad. Like bone-deep glad. Like the idea of the tour ending ached glad. Shit, he was stupid in love with the big asshole.

“No, the rock star. You can’t tell me you haven’t seen him naked.” Nosy little shit.

“He’s got an amazing fucking work ethic, man. He’s into it.” Jeremy was damned proud of Hollis’s bod, that shit-eating grin plastered over every magazine on Earth.

“Uh-huh. You have a jones for him, I can tell.” The coffee came, and Chris sat back, smart enough not to talk on it when someone else was around.

He didn’t say a thing to that. He’d lie before he fucked with Hollis’s career. “You still seeing Mack? Mickey? Mackey?”

“No, honey, he got too possessive. You know how I feel about that.” Chris was a serial dater, Lord love him.

“Yeah. I remember. I didn’t share very well either.” He winked as Chris got all huffy, both of them busting out laughing. “Shit, you’re funny, for a muscle-bound size queen.”

“And you’re just too picky. It’s sad. You need to get out more.”

“I’m busy, man. I love my job.” He loved his client.

“Oh my God!” The waitress could achieve serious volume when she screeched. “Hollis Lee! Oh, honey, I’ve been to every concert you’ve ever done in this town!”

The coffee shop wasn’t crowded, but all of a sudden it was loud, a certain big redneck sucking up all the attention in the room.

Man, he’d never seen Hollis in, like, public before. It was weird as hell.

The man was smiling that crooked little smile and signing autographs, but every so often those odd-colored eyes would flash to him, hot with something not… hot and sexy.

“I guess it’s time to go back to work, man. Or at least away from all the crowds.” He stood up, plopped a ten on the table. Chris stood up, gave him a huge bear hug, squeezing the shit out of him.

“Call me, Germs. You never call anymore.”

Lord. Hollis was giving him the death glare, just full-on “You’re in deep shit.”

“Yeah, yeah. See you, man.” He skirted the crowd and Hollis’s eyes, heading to the elevator and the suite. He assumed he wasn’t supposed to go and actually talk to Hollis in the restaurant.

He had maybe a half hour to himself, which was just enough time to get twitchy.
