Chapter Thirty

Rex

Fucking hell.

It’s hard as hell to go from intimate vulnerability to intimacy, only to have her sister’s fucking camera in our faces.

The adrenaline spike has me ready to fight the third world war, to protect her, to keep her safe.

But my logic is screaming at me to remember how to breathe because it’s just her sister. Not the stupid paps.

You need to oxygen somehow, dumbass.

The door has swung closed in my face, the thin wooden panel blocking Aria from my view, and I have yet to move. I’m pretty sure if I do, I might smash something.

Dramatic, I know.

Still standing where she left me, hands laced at the top of my head, I force a box breathing to even out my lungs. Expanding my chest with deep inhales and slow exhales.

Sweat sheens on my skin, heat radiating from my body, hair sticking to my lips as I suck life back into my vibrating lungs.

I was ready to kill for her. Pissed that my security let someone past them, but ready to act for her.

She’s worth jail time.

“What the fuck are you thinking?” I hear my girl yell through the thin door. Her sister yammers some shit I can’t make out. All I know is that Aria’s kinda scary, and I am here for it.

“Don’t be like them, you asshat. He deserves some fucking respect.”

Wait. He?

She’s defending me?

My arms fall to my sides, my chest swelling for a different reason this time. Emotions I’m a little scared to name but have been waiting for knock at my ribcage and have me questioning my sanity level.

I wrote an album for this woman.

Of course my heart begs for her.

I reach out and crack the door open at Aria’s back. Her head bobs, her hair longer than I remember swaying around her shoulders, as she melts the face off her sister. The sister catches sight of me with watery eyes and a trembling bottom lip.

“I’m sorry, Rex.” She speaks between Aria’s harsh words, drawing the attention over her sister’s shoulder. Green eyes, shining with emotion I recognize in my own heart, meet mine and bring a pull to the corner of my lips.

“You don’t have to apologize to me.” I meet her sister’s blotchy face with sincerity. “Having cameras in my face is what I do.” I wink because someone needs to bring it down a little bit in here, and I step closer to the woman whose eyes haven’t left my profile since I stepped out of the door.

My next move … It makes a statement. For the whole bus to see.

I wrap my arms around Aria’s waist and pull her flush against my body, pressing a kiss to her temple as she watches in horrified embarrassment.

Then she melts into me.

Thank God.

“I just don’t want to violate Aria’s privacy.” I speak to her sister while focused on Aria, taking pride in the flush that rises across her chest when I cup her face in my hand. Her cheeks deepen in color when I press my hard dick against her.
