Fergus glanced at his phone screen and smiled. He’d texted his mother several times over the past month, but he hadn’t had a chance to speak to her because their grueling tour schedule kept him hopping.

He and Aubrey had slept until nearly three in the afternoon, something he probably hadn’t done since he was a teenager. Of course, considering they’d been up until sunrise, talking and kissing, it was hardly surprising.

If he’d had his way, they’d still be in that bed and he would be buried deep inside her. Sex with Aubrey had been better than every fantasy he’d conjured over the last few weeks.

She was vulnerable in a way that made him want to care for her, feisty in a way that made him want to punish her, and there was no denying her sexual appetites ran parallel to his.

She was made for him.

Now he just had to find a way to convince her of that, as well as earn her trust—and catch a crazy stalker.

Piece of cake, he thought sarcastically, snickering to himself.

He was at his usual post outside her bus as Aubrey sat inside, doing an interview for an entertainment magazine.

He answered the phone. “Hi, Mom.”

“Fergus,” she said. “It’s good to hear your voice. I’ve gotten spoiled ever since you left the Army, talking to you every few days. A month is too long.”

“I should have called before now,” he said, grinning at her motherly nag. He recalled Aubrey’s comments about her mother, which made him aware he didn’t appreciate his loving mom nearly enough.

“Finn keeps us up to date. I thought I’d check to make sure everyone was alive after the bachelor party last night.”

Fergus laughed. “We survived, though I suspect there are more than a few Collins men sleeping off some headaches this afternoon.”

“I would expect nothing less of you idiots,” she joked. “Your dads were sorry they couldn’t get away from work to join the fun, but they’ve got a huge project to complete and the weather hasn’t been cooperating. I swear it’s rained every single day since you left.”

“Then I’m glad I’m not there. I hate the rain. Nothing but bright sunshine here in Houston.”

“Nice of you to rub it in. And how is your pretty rock star?”

“She’s fine,” he said, aware that was a very boring answer to describe Aubrey.

“Mmm-hmmm,” his mother hummed, clueing him in to the fact that she’d called for a reason. There was no way any of his cousins would have called his mom to tell her about him and Aubrey. They respected his privacy, and would also understand his desire to tell his parents about Aubrey when he was ready. Plus, they’d all been hungover as hell, and he doubted any of them were alert enough to call home for any reason.

As he and Aubrey had been leaving the hotel this morning, they’d run into Ailis, who’d reported that while the whole gang had gotten up and consumed a huge brunch, they’d gone straight back to bed after, resting up for tonight.
