shock and wonder.
Jaxon flushed a healthy shade of red. As Damon glanced around, he saw his mother looking concerned, Edward comforting her, Austin obviously gritting his teeth while Quinn, baby in her arms, tried to talk him down.
Damon turned to Evie. “Let me talk to him.” He gestured to Jaxon.
She nodded and headed to Damon’s mother, no doubt to help soothe her.
“Come on, let’s go have a talk,” Damon said to his sibling.
Bri shook her head. “You’re not leaving me out of this. I’m his publicist and he’s damn well going to need one.”
“Why?” Damon asked, feeling protective of Jaxon.
Jaxon opened his mouth to explain, when Bri chimed in first. “You know that chick he met at Allstars last night?” she asked, using air quotes.
“Yes?” Damon asked warily.
“It turns out she’s his general manager’s daughter, home from college for a long weekend.”
Damon’s eyes opened wide. “Dude!” Even he was surprised at his brother’s behavior.
“She’s twenty-one and legal!”
“That doesn’t make Brett Majors any happier with you,” Austin said, coming up beside them. “Someone caught you two on a cell phone video grinding away while making out in the back hall of Allstars. And despite the fact that the owner demands discretion and privacy, the person leaked the video.”
Macy gasped, caught herself, blushed, and took a step back. If she held any interest in Jaxon, this ought to douse her attraction, Damon thought.
“And to say the video has gone viral is an understatement.” Bri glared at Jaxon, whose behavior had finally caught up with him.
He rubbed the back of his neck, his stress obvious.
Damon, who had just been in the basement with his own team, albeit through no fault of his own, knew what kind of trouble Jaxon was in and felt for him, putting a hand on his brother’s shoulder.
Austin cleared his throat. “We are not doing this here. Not today. Today is Damon and Evie’s celebration,” he said, glancing at them before turning back to Jaxon. “I can guarantee you that you’re going to be called into a meeting with the owner, manager, and GM and it will not go well.” He shook his head. “Bri and I will figure out how the hell to fix this mess.”
Even Damon winced at the demand and anger in his oldest brother’s tone. This was sports agent Austin Prescott, not anyone’s big brother. And Jaxon was in serious trouble.
But Austin was right. Today was his and Evie’s day and Damon turned to his fiancée who had joied him. “What do you say we duck out and head home?” Where he knew exactly what he wanted to do with the woman he loved.
Her beautiful smile lit him up inside. “After we say goodbye and thank you. No ducking out,” she chided him, patting him on the cheek.
As usual and to Damon’s frustration, the last goodbyes took a while, but finally he found himself at home, naked with Evie in his bedroom, his body buried deep inside hers. Where he belonged.
