But really, was it? They’d clicked almost instantly when they first met. They definitely clicked between the sheets. And as “just friends,” when he was stressed out about his stalker, he’d turned to her, and she’d been more than willing to be his shoulder to lean on.
Click.
If all of that wasn’t the definition of the perfect romance, what was?
So maybe this sudden revelation of his wasn’t all that odd after all. Maybe it was just how Travis operated. He did seem like an all-or-nothing guy. And Ava certainly liked that when they were in bed together. It wasn’t too much of a stretch to think he’d be the same way when they were vertical.
She glanced down at her phone again. Scrolled through the comments on that picture of him nuzzling her cheek. Noticed his name underneath the picture, next to the little heart.
Had helikedthe image? That meant he’d seen it.
And approved.
Okay, at this point, there was nothing left for her to read into. The man had declared he wanted to be a couple. He hadn’t lied about his affinity for PDA. And now he was checking out pictures of them on social media andapproving.
What else did she need to convince herself he was serious?
The tour bus door whooshed open, and Teddy, their driver, stepped into view. “Hey, Ava.” He waved and smiled. “Travis is right behind me.”
“Um, thanks.” She supposed she was appreciative of the ten-second warning. It gave her time to close the app she’d been in so Travis wouldn’t know she’d been nosing around too.
And then he was striding up the steps and stalking down the short aisle to the sitting area. “Hey, sugar,” he said warmly. “I was worried about you.”
She flapped her hand helplessly. “Sorry. I just needed some air.”
He dropped onto the cushion next to her and pecked her cheek before nuzzling her neck for a moment.
Shereallyliked the nuzzling.
“I guess we didn’t talk about whether you like PDA, huh?”
“We didn’t really talk about anything,” she pointed out.
He chuckled while still nuzzling her neck, sending vibrations straight to her clit.
Jeez.She shifted in her seat.
“Wanna go talk in bed?”
That’s right. They were driving overnight to their next stop. Normally, she claimed the previously empty bunk. In fact, her toiletry bag was currently chilling in that particular bunk.
She leaned away to look him in the eye. “Are you serious?”
“Absolutely,” he said without blinking.
Okay, she was officially sold. No way could she deny that Travis was serious about a relationship with her. And she was just smitten enough to want it too.
She stood. Offered her hand and tugged him to his feet.
She led him down the hall to the bunks. And climbed into his.
“Hot damn,” he murmured, sounding surprised.
Hey, he was the one who put this train in motion.
He crawled in after her. As he lay down next to her, she smoothed her hand up his bare chest. “What happened to your shirt?”
White teeth flashed in the semi-darkness. “Figured I didn’t need it.”
