Triple Beat-nook(53)

“I would like to go on record as saying this was the best night of my life.”

Neither man laughed. In fact, she could see from their expressions they agreed wholeheartedly.

“I swear to God, I think that was our most solid performance ever.” Leave it to Aiden to start analyzing immediately.

“How f*cking hot was it out there?” Bryson was grinning from ear to ear and dripping with sweat. They all were.

“I don’t know,” Dani said. “Somewhere between a hundred and fifty degrees and the surface of the sun?”

Bryson held out his arm. “Yeah, well you can stick a fork in me because I am well done.” And as usual, Bryson focused on the simple stuff.

She laughed and tugged at her shirt. “Come on. Let’s take advantage of those showers in our dressing rooms.”

Aiden grasped her hand. “I think we can make do with just one. I’ll scrub your back if you scrub mine.”

Bryson walked beside them, shaking his head. “Part of me still can’t believe we’re here.”

Dani understood that sense of wonder and amazement. She wasn’t sure she’d ever get used to it. “It’s incredible, isn’t it?”

They walked into Dani’s dressing room and slowly peeled off their damp clothing. Aiden handed them each a bottle of water. “Better hydrate.”

She laughed as the three of them—naked as the day they were born—chugged the water like they were dying of thirst.

“Race you to the shower,” she said, as she sprinted toward the shower. She bent over to turn on the water as Bryson strolled in behind her, stroking her ass, his fingers dipping into the slit between her legs to do a little exploring. They were approaching their six-month anniversary. Maybe it was juvenile to count the time in months, but it was a step up from her initial celebrations…of days, then weeks.

With every day that passed she fell more in love with them and the anxiety she’d felt at the beginning faded, even started to feel ridiculous. How could she have ever doubted this?

They’d only just stepped beneath the water of the dual showerheads, when there was a knock at the dressing room door.

“Ignore it,” Aiden murmured, kissing the side of her neck. “Maybe they’ll go away.”

Dani didn’t have any problem with that suggestion until she heard Jett’s voice through the door.

“Dani? You all in there?” Jett yelled. There was the sound of other voices, all chattering away in the hallway. She recognized every voice, every laugh.

There were only a handful of people she wouldn’t ignore in lieu of a shower with her guys. And they were apparently standing right outside the dressing room.

“Give me a minute,” Dani yelled back. “Changing my clothes.”

Neither Bryson nor Aiden called her to task for answering. In fact, Bryson had immediately started doing a quick clean—hair and body, sluicing off the soap and stepping out.

She and Aiden followed suit, showering off the sweat quickly, before turning off the water and drying off.

Bryson had always been the quickest to get ready. The man could, as he liked to say, “shit, shower, shave and be out the door in five minutes.”

Crude, but accurate, Dani decided as Bryson threw on a clean t-shirt and shorts. He left her and Aiden drying off in the bathroom, closing the door behind them so he could let their guests in.

Bryson had become particularly close to Caleb when her foster brother had given him the ink he’d always wanted on his left pec. Dani had to admit. The new tat was hot.

Dani dressed quicker when she heard Mama Lewis talking to Bryson about the show. She was dying to hear what she thought of it.

Loud cheers greeted her when she stepped into the room.

“What are you guys doing in here?” Dani asked. “You’re going to miss the main act. Lucas Bryan is terrific.”

Justin shrugged, unconcerned that they’d just vacated front row seats at a sold out concert. “We already saw the good stuff. The three of you were amazing. Twenty bucks says Lucas What’s-His-Name is opening for you within a year.”

Aiden grinned and slapped her brother on the back. “Man, I wouldn’t mind that.”

“You’re our star, Dani,” Mama said, walking over to hug her. “My God. You were just incredible.”

Chloe came up next to give Dani a hug. “Mama cried when you dedicated that song to her.”

“I didn’t cry, Chloe,” Mama Lewis said. “I just had something in my eye.”
