Sarah pressed a kiss to Eli’s neck, then her cheek, before she smiled. “Just so you know, I’m not the only one who gets on the bus.”

“I remember.”

“So we only have a few minutes before everyone else joins us.”

Eli nodded. “I figured. Are you leaving tonight for somewhere new?”

“No. Hotel.”

“Good.” Eli nuzzled her nose against Sarah’s ear. “Because I don’t have a room.”

Chuckling, Sarah dashed her fingers under Eli’s shirt. “When did you get here?”

“Last night.”

“You’re shitting me.”

“No.” Eli smirked. “It was late, though. I did get a room last night, but then I explored a bit before going to the concert. I figured you’d be busy.”

“God, I love you.”

Eli’s tensed but then relaxed. She’d known it all along. Everything about Sarah had been different from everyone else she had been with. Leaning in, Eli pressed her mouth to Sarah’s, tangling their tongues as she dipped her hands into her hair and held tight.

When they finally parted, Eli grinned. “I’m not leaving my ranch.”

Sarah snorted. “No, I know that. I’d never expect you to. I know you love your ranch more than you love me.”

“Not more, Sarah. Just longer.”

Sarah’s lips thinned into a line and her eyes narrowed as she worked through what Eli had said. “Did you just say what I think you said or am I imagining things?”

“Never imagining things.” Eli grabbed Sarah’s ass and pulled her in again. “I do love you.”

“Oh good. And here I thought I was the only one.”

“Never.” Their lips brushed again just as the doors to the bus opened.

While Eli tried to move away, Sarah pulled her in even more, giving her a long, deep kiss. When they parted, Eli gave her a funny look as she spun around, gripping Eli’s hand behind her back. She grinned at the other band members. “Guys, this is Eli.”

They all said “Hey.” Eli was struck speechless until Sarah tugged on her arm.

“She’s staying the week.”

“Good. Then maybe you’ll shut up about her.”

Sarah laughed wholeheartedly. “Unlikely.”

She turned again and pressed a kiss to Eli’s cheek. “You’ll get used to it.”

“I will, but only for you.”

“I know. And thank you, Eli. I love you.”

“Love you, too.”
