“No, I’m asking because I want to go with both of you,” she states firmly.
“I feel like there’s a catch.”
“There’s no catch. It’s in LA, but it’ll be a quick trip. I just thought…I don’t know.” Her voice starts to trail off like it does when she starts to feel embarrassed and I hate it. I like when she’s confident, she’s come so far recently, and I love seeing her discover who she really is.
“I’ll go.”
“Really?” I can hear her smile. “Good, you’ll be able to meet Noah too.”
I grimace. “Is he going with you as well? Because I’m going to be honest, baby, I’m still getting used to sharing with Wheeler, I don’t think I can get along with anyone else.”
Rae laughs. “No, he’s nominated in another category, and we’re just friends. Trust me, you and Grayson are more than enough for me.”
“Fucking right we are,” I practically growl, thinking of thelast time we were all together. How it felt to fuck her tight little ass while Grayson fucked her cunt. How her body took us both. How she looked. How she felt. How everything made complete sense for the first time in my entire life.
“But,” she starts, and I tense, knowing there was a catch coming. “You have to wear a suit. I need my arm candy to look good.”
I quirk a small smile. “I always look good.”
“What’s it like to know you’re attractive?” she teases.
“It’s pretty great, actually.”
The easy banter with her helps me feel better, and I almost forget what I was even thinking about before hearing from her. When we hang up, I look at myself in the mirror. The fog on it has faded so I can see myself and I hardly recognize the smile on my face.
There’s no way I could leave this behind again. Even if it ends up fucking me over in the end, I don’t want to lose this.
That’s when I get an idea. I don’t know if they would go for it, but I end up texting Adam just to see.
Asher
Would you ever consider expanding Uncaged to another state?
Maybe I really could have it all. And for someone that never thought I’d have anything, that thought is a big one to have.
Adam
What state are you thinking? Colorado?
Adam
I take it you’re not planning on coming back here.
I swallow roughly, and as I type out the message, I know this is the right decision. I’m sure they’d let me come back if I change my mind, but this is where I need to be.
Asher
I’m going to stay in Denver.
Adam
Caine owes me twenty bucks.
Adam
I’m not opposed to expanding.
I want to call them out for making a bet about me, but I can’t bring myself to do it. I’m actually happy. Especially at the possibility of Uncaged coming here.
