“Hey.”

I smirk, a shiver running up my spine. I glance at my side and see Aliko standing there in a tight pair of black jeans and no shirt. I take a deep breath to calm my nerves. Sitting with this egg inside me is difficult enough. It keeps brushing all the good spots inside me, my dick threatening to get hard. Now that I’m in front of Aliko, who is looking hot as hell, it’s impossible to keep my dick under control.

“You should probably stop looking at me like that,” I warn.

“Like what?” he says, moving closer. “Like I know my egg is inside of you, along with my cum, and it’s making my dick hard?”

I grit my teeth to stop the whimper from escaping. “Yes. That.”

“Where’s the fun in that?” he asks softly.

The whimper actually escapes me this time.

Aliko chuckles a low raspy sound, then backs up, putting a few feet between us.

“I was thinking we should go out to dinner.”

I look at him, raising a brow. “Really?”

He shrugs. “As long as you’re okay with me being human so we can enjoy it and not be rushed by fans.”

“I’ve told you I like you in all forms.”

“But I don’t want you to think I am hiding or not wanting ‘Aliko Anson the drummer of The Unbound’ to be seen with someone.”

“If you were hiding, I’d respect it. I see how crazy things get. Same goes for you keeping your persona under wraps. Those are your choices, and I will respect them.”

A soft smile crosses his lips.

“I don’t want to offend you.”

“Trust me, Aliko, I know the way you feel about me.”

“You do?” he asks, sounding surprised.

“I mean, yeah. For the most part. You do a really good job of showing me.” I wink, causing him to smile. “Where and when are we going to dinner?”

“When we’re in New York City.”

“Wow, you’re spoiling me.”

“I wish I could kiss you right now.”

That has me speechless for far too long.

“Me too,” I finally whisper.

He huffs a small laugh. “Thewhereis a surprise, but you’ll enjoy it.”

“If I’m with you, I know I will.”

“Aliko!” Lucien shouts from somewhere in the back. “Come here, man!”

Aliko winks before taking off to find Lucien. I finish setting up his kit then go see if any of the crew need help with anything else—as carefully as I can.

Cody finds me almost immediately.

“No more dirty looks, I see.”
